MOLES REMOVAL TREATMENT
Moles are also called as nevi and they are basically a cluster of pigmented cells which are seen on the skin as brown or black spots. There are different types of moles. Most moles are harmless, but a few could be cosmetically unappealing or rarely may turn cancerous. They can appear on any part of the body and by the time you reach adulthood, you could have around 10-40 moles. With age, some of the moles disappear and few others change their colour or may grow in size.
A mole is formed when a group of cells called melanocytes come together and grow in a cluster at a particular spot on the body. They may be flat or raised above the skin.The different types are congenital moles (formed during birth) and acquired moles (which appear later in life). However, if painless moles turn painful, begin to itch or start bleeding, increase rapidly in size or if there is any asymmetry then it is advisable to consult a dermatologist.
