Biopsy: A mole that is changing needs pathology examination of the biopsy. If the doctor thinks the mole is benign, he or she may excise part of the mole, all of the mole, or all of the mole plus some of the normal appearing tissue around it. If the mole appears cancerous, the doctor will usually remove the mole plus some surrounding tissue. Consider a plastic surgery consult. It is your face.

Mole Check: A mole that changes definitely needs to be examined by a dermatologist. It may require a biopsy.
