What Is Moles :

Moles (nevi) are a nevucellular skin ocurrence located in the skin's various layers. Everybody has moles. Perceived by most people as a dark brown spot, actually moles have a wide range of appearance.

Sometimes regarded to be fashionable and even called "beauty marks" as when found in women's cheeks, however, not all moles are beautiful. They can be very unsightly as when they protrude from the skin. They may contain dark hair and they may be dangerous.

Moles can appear anywhere on the skin. They are usually brown in color and can be of various sizes and shapes.

Most moles come out during the first 20 years of a person's life, although some may not appear until later in life. Sun exposure may darken existing moles and increase their number.
