Overview
Moles are dark spots or growths on the skin that are usually benign. Most moles are harmless and do not require treatment. However, some moles can cause aesthetic concerns or discomfort due to friction with clothing. In rare cases, certain moles may develop into skin cancer. Mole removal is a procedure that involves removing moles from the skin, either surgically or through methods like laser treatment.
