Any suggestions on how to treat cancerous moles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please clarify: "cancerous mole" is not really a diagnosis. This term most frequently refers to a melanoma. If it is a melanoma, the "mole" itself will have to be removed surgically. Although not usually described as a mole, if the lesion is another type of skin cancer, like squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma, surgery or radiation therapy could be options for treatment.

Are all moles that change cancerous? I've always had a lot of moles and I'm almost 35... some have changed. None are painful.
