FAQs About Mole Treatment in Boca Raton and Delray Beach
+ Q: Are moles dangerous?
Most moles are harmless, but some can become cancerous over time. Changes in size, shape, color, or texture may be warning signs of skin cancer. Because Boca Raton and Delray Beach have high year-round sun exposure, regular skin checks are important. The team at Barnett Dermatology evaluates suspicious moles and provides early detection and treatment when necessary.
+ Q: When should I have a mole checked by a dermatologist?
You should schedule an evaluation if a mole changes in color, grows quickly, becomes irregular in shape, bleeds, or causes itching or pain. New moles appearing in adulthood should also be examined. At Barnett Dermatology in Boca Raton and Delray Beach, our dermatologists offer thorough skin exams to detect potential issues early.
+ Q: What does mole removal involve?
Mole removal is typically a quick, in-office procedure using surgical excision or shaving techniques under local anesthesia. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. The team at Barnett Dermatology in Boca Raton and Delray Beach prioritizes patient comfort and safe, effective results.
+ Q: Is mole removal permanent?
In most cases, mole removal is permanent when the entire mole is safely removed by a dermatologist. Some moles may return if pigment cells remain beneath the skin, but this is uncommon when performed professionally. At Barnett Dermatology in Boca Raton and Delray Beach, our board-certified dermatologists use precise techniques to remove moles while minimizing scarring.
+ Q: How much does mole removal cost at Barnett Dermatology?
The cost of mole removal depends on factors such as the size, location, and method of removal, as well as whether medical testing is required. Some removals are considered cosmetic, while others may be medically necessary. During your visit to our offices in Boca Raton or Delray Beach, your dermatologist will explain your options and provide clear guidance on pricing and insurance coverage.
