I have moles on my scalp - should i see a doctor or a dermatologist to have them removed?

Decisions: It would be a good idea to have a dermatologist examine the moles on your scalp, but they do not necessarily need to removed unless they are suspicious in appearance or they are causing you symptoms of pain, burning, or itching.

Mole: See a dermatologist (most training in skin cancer detection ) to evaluate not only the scalp but the entire body for melanoma.
