Anybody know can you just walk into a doctor's office and get moles taken off or do you have to be refered to a specialist?

No idea, but if you have any kind of mole that is growing or changing in any way, you should go to your GP sooner rather than later

basically if a doc wants them examined they'll remove it?

Very few GP's will do it. They now refer you to a specialist. But only if they think there maybe cause for concern.

If you want it removed for no reason apart from looks you'll have to pay for that from a dermatologist.

My GP does it, but he has done a degree in dermatology too so maybe it depends on the doctor. I would imagine if they thought there was any wrong with it you'd be referred on.

I had a mole removed at my doctors had to go back and get a larger section off as it had spread my gp did that as well. But they have a clinic every week for it. That was when I lived down south.

yes a good doctor can do it, but mostly they will send you to hospital day clinic

I've had two removed before, my GP referred me to the hospital for them. They did require general anaesthetic though so it probably depends on the mole?

I had one removed last year. Had to go to the dermatology unit in Waterford twice. First time for an exam then back down to have it removed. Actual procedure was a thing of nothing. Only problem was it was on my foot so I couldn't drive. It wasn't expensive either.

Most g p will examine a suspicious mole and ask about changes in color or appearance , edges becoming jagged or itchy , bleeding or any other unusual recent change in the mole , if concern is raised you will be sent to a consultant dermatologist who will examine you thoroughly for moles photograph and ask you to return in 6 weeks , whereby any growth or changes can be observed , if the mole is considered to have changed you will be scheduled to have it removed , following which it will be biopsied and you will be given further advice depending on the result .
