title: What to do about moles.
abstract: Nearly everyone has a mole or two, and with the increasing publicity about the sun and skin cancer, people are looking at their moles with new concern. Dr Parkinson summarizes the main controversies over moles: Which ones are most likely to degenerate into skin cancer, and what should be done about them? Included in the discussion are a description of moles that should be removed and the choice of removal methods available.
