Moles
Moles, medically known as nevi, are small skin lesions consisting of cells that produce pigment. They can vary in color and size and are typically harmless. However, it’s important to monitor them for any changes, as this can be a sign of skin cancer.
About the Condition
Moles are common skin growths that can appear anywhere on the body. They are usually brown or black and can be flat or raised. he size of moles also varies, typically from a few millimeters up to 1 centimeter in diameter. Most moles are round or oval with a distinct edge.
Moles result from a concentration of melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigmentation. They can be present at birth (congenital moles) or develop over time (acquired moles), predominantly during childhood and adolescence.
