Moles in Danville, CA
What Are Moles?
The dermatologists at Elite MD provide thorough mole evaluations for individuals in and around Danville, CA. Moles, typically clusters of pigmented skin cells, are common and vary in appearance, ranging from brown or black to raised or flat. During a mole check, we meticulously examine, measure, and record the details of your moles to ensure their benign nature and monitor for any signs of change that could indicate malignancy. While most moles are benign, it's crucial to stay vigilant. Changes in size, shape, color, texture, and symptoms like itching or bleeding warrant professional attention. If you have concerns about any of your moles or notice any alarming changes, it's important to consult with a physician promptly.
How Are Moles Treated?
Usually, moles do not require treatment unless they become cancerous, questionable, or when they cause irritation, discomfort, or cosmetic issues. We might want to excise the mole(s) in these situations. In surgical excision, the region near the mole is numbed with a local anesthetic, and a scalpel or comparable device is utilized to remove the mole and a bit of the surrounding skin cells. The wound is then closed with stitches. From time to time, when the mole is at the surface level, a surgical shaving method may be utilized where the region is numbed, and a small blade is used to cut all around and under the mole. Stitches aren't required for this technique.
What Are Some Characteristics of Moles?
Dr. Sonia Badreshia-Bansal or a member of her team may advise you to keep a close watch on your moles for any alterations and to maintain a routine schedule for mole examinations. Familiarizing yourself with the ABCDE method makes it easier to identify potential warning signs of cancerous moles. Be mindful of these key characteristics when examining your moles:
- Asymmetrical: They are not even or equal in dimension when cut in half
- Borders: They have irregular or scalloped edges
- Color: They start to change or have an abnormal color
- Diameter: They're bigger than six millimeters in diameter
- Evolves: They start to evolve (grow or change) in size, height, color, or shape

The staff made sure everything was tailored to my needs, and the technology they use is really impressive. I recommend them highly!
Dr. Bansal and his entire staff are incredible. I am a male, 75 yr.old, six month post laser liposuction on my stomach, chest and flanks. I am more than satisfied. Dr. Bansel and his administrative assistant, Trisha, made sure I understood the issues and risks of the surgery. He went so far as to contact and speak with my cardiologist. You also get counseled on diet, exercise, etc. Six months down the road he and his staff are still following me. My results are (in my eyes) incredible. If you are considering laser liposuction, I would whole heartedly recommend you get a consult with Dr. Bansel or one of his other physicians.
