Discover more about skin cancer protection, dangerous moles, and the skin mole removal procedure.
Moles are dark spots that appear in different areas of the body. They come in many different shapes and sizes and they can sometimes signal an early stage of cancer or other concern. While moles are often left untreated, it’s important to have them checked when they grow at an alarming rate, bleed, turn significantly darker or appear much larger than normal.
Dr. Joel Schlessinger, a board-certified dermatologist at Schlessinger MD in Omaha, can assess your moles and remove them, if necessary. He has the medical background to recognize suspicious moles and the surgical skill and training as a cosmetic surgeon to remove them cosmetically. Dark, flat moles are the ones that can often cause problems, including melanoma, especially if they change dramatically over time.

Patient Reviews
I am so impressed with the care I received here. The nurses are wonderful and Dr. Jackie is beyond knowledgeable and so attentive to every concern. She quickly diagnosed the issue and proactively consulted with me about removing two suspicious moles which was completed the same day. The staff members are all incredibly personable, genuine and highly empathetic.

The Procedure for Mole Removal
“In my 25 plus years as a dermatologist, I have seen a significant increase in moles that turn to skin cancer. In addition to protecting your skin, it is vital to self-examine every month for changing moles and see a dermatologist if you encounter changes or concerning moles.”
