Mole Removal at Linda Woodson Dermatology

Linda Woodson Dermatology offers mole removal procedures to the residents of Henderson and Las Vegas, Nevada. Most adults have moles, and those with lighter skin are more prone to develop moles. Moles are generally harmless, but some people find them to be unattractive, and they rely on Dr. Linda Woodson for safe and effective mole removal.

Should I Be Concerned About My Moles?

While most moles are not cause for concern, you should monitor them for indications of melanoma. Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that typically develops near moles, and one of the first signs is a change in the shape or size of your mole. New moles can also indicate melanoma. If your mole begins to grow, bleed, or itch, contact Linda Woodson Dermatology for a consultation appointment. Dr. Woodson evaluates your mole and determines if treatment is necessary.
Should I Remove My Mole at Home?

Dr. Woodson does not recommend removing your mole at home. If the mole contains skin cancer and is not properly removed, the cancer can continue to grow. Removing moles requires very sharp surgical blades. Without the proper technique and equipment, you may damage your skin, including a permanent scar, or the area may become infected.
What Types of Mole Removal Procedures Does Dr. Linda Woodson Perform?

Dr. Woodson works closely with her patients in Henderson and Las Vegas, Nevada, to determine the best mole removal procedure. In general, she uses one of three methods. For surgical excision, Dr. Woodson makes an incision around the mole to remove it from your skin. The skin is then closed with sutures. For laser removal, Dr. Woodson carefully.
