Moles |
|
|
Moles are common harmless skin lesions. Moles (correctly called melanocytic or pigmented
nevi) may be flat or protruding. They vary in color from pink, flesh tones to dark
brown or black. The number of moles a person has depends on genetic factors and
on sun exposure. Moles begin to grow in infancy but new ones can appear at any age,
sometimes in crops. Moles may darken following sun exposure or during pregnancy.
During adulthood they often lose their pigmentation, and may disappear in old age.
If there are any changes in a mole's appearance or it starts to grow, or bleed,
you should consult a dermatologist.
