Moles, also called nevi, appear as small, round, brown or black spots on the skin. They are usually no larger than a pencil eraser and can be flat or raised. While some moles may disappear naturally with age, new moles can also develop over time due to genetics, hormonal changes, sun exposure, or aging processes.
Although most moles are harmless, changes in size, shape, color, or symptoms such as itching, bleeding, or pain can indicate potential health risks, including skin cancer. Early mole assessment is crucial for monitoring, identifying suspicious lesions, and preventing serious complications.
Professional mole assessment involves a thorough skin evaluation by a certified dermatologist or aesthetic doctor. Tools like dermoscopy and advanced imaging help to detect irregularities and determine whether mole removal or further medical intervention is required. Regular mole assessment is essential for anyone concerned about skin health, aesthetic appearance, or family history of skin cancer.
