What is a mole?: Mole is a common name and a form of skin tumor. Mole is also called pigmented nevus or nevus cell nevus, and wart refers to a viral disease called verruca vulgaris. There is also senile wart, which is a type of senile wart.
Diagnosis and treatment: The specialist will not only visually examine the mole, but will also use a dermascope to diagnose whether it is benign or malignant and explain the best method of removal. If malignancy is suspected, a pathological diagnosis will be performed by biopsy or excision, which will also be covered by insurance and eligible for medical expense deduction.
Insurance coverage and medical expense deductions: Moles on the body are not for cosmetic purposes but are benign tumors that are a disease, so they are covered by insurance and eligible for medical expense deductions. (Removal of large moles may be considered cosmetic.)

Please be careful: We are seeing a sharp increase in consultations from patients who have been left with ugly burn scars after mole and wart treatments that were all-you-can-remove. It is rare for a skilled specialist to offer all-you-can-remove treatments.
