Which department should I visit to remove a mole?

Mole removal can be handled by multiple departments, depending on the hospital's structure and the patient's needs. Generally, patients may first consider visiting the dermatology department, as moles are skin pigmented tumors, and dermatologists can make a preliminary assessment of the mole's nature and provide appropriate treatment recommendations. If the hospital has a plastic surgery or cosmetic department and the patient has higher aesthetic requirements, they may also consider visiting these departments, as doctors there will focus more on skin repair and aesthetic improvement while treating moles. Additionally, if symptoms such as mole enlargement, darkening color, itching, or pain—suggestive of possible malignancy—occur, it is recommended to promptly visit an oncology or general surgery department to rule out the possibility of malignancy and receive appropriate treatment. Before visiting a doctor, patients are advised to understand the department structure and doctors' expertise at the hospital to choose the most suitable department. Moreover, regardless of the chosen department, patients should select qualified medical institutions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
