Moles Prevention

Prevention

To help prevent benign moles from becoming atypical (and possibly cancerous):

To detect atypical or cancerous moles early:

  • Monitor your moles, especially atypical ones.
  • Report any changes in a mole to your doctor.
  • Have your doctor check and monitor atypical moles on a regular basis. Have moles checked more often if you have:
    • A large number of atypical moles
    • A family or personal history of atypical moles that develop into melanoma

Have moles removed if your doctor recommends it.
