Moles

February 2, 2009


Moles are nothing but tiny spots made of pigmented skin underneath. Pigments present in our skin, decide our colour complexion. When there is abnormal concentration of these pigments in one area, they are known as moles. Pigment cells are also known as melanin or melanocytes. We often read about the melanin controlling properties of certain fairness creams and lotions, it is the same melanin we are referring to. Moles are usually formed during birth, but they can also develop later in life. Most of the moles will disappear with age,some people might develop new moles upto 20 years of age while some may notice new moles even during their 30′s and 40′s.

Moles are absolutely harmless unless they are in clusters and concentrated in one number. If you have 20 or more moles in one area then it is certainly a cause of concern. This condition is known as melanoma and can be fatal if not treated in advance. It is like the cancer of skin or rather cancer of pigment cells.

So, if you notice such clusters of mole, visit a doctor and get them removed surgically. Melanoma can be identified with few symptoms, the moles will either itch or ooze blood. In some cases a change in the colour and size of the mole can be observed. Some moles can have an irregular border, they are highly malignant and are usually hereditary in nature.

Not all melanoma’s have this kind of appearance, some of them are lumpy even in the initial stages. Some may appear like reddish patches, they may not be dark in colour. If the mole has asymmetrical edges and is big in size (approximately 5-6mm) then it is serious.

It is advisable to consult a dermatologist if you notice such unsightly moles on your body. It is important to note that some moles have hair and are commonly known to be malignant but this is a myth. Moles are either hereditary in nature or caused due to sun exposure.
