After removal, moles may leave a scar or re-grow.

Most moles are harmless and don’t need to be removed, but you do need to be aware that some forms of skin cancer can begin by looking like a mole. If you have a mole that has changed in any way-including size, colour, shape-or begins to bleed, see your doctor right away.
