Moles are small, darkened growths on the skin that develop from pigment-producing cells in the skin. Everyone has a few moles. They tend to appear in childhood, puberty and during or after pregnancy. Moles can be oval, round, flat or raised and can occur singly or in clusters on any area of the body. Most moles are harmless; however, those that become atypical can eventually develop into malignant melanoma, a fatal form of skin cancer. Atypical moles are usually hereditary. The shape and pigmentation of atypical moles are irregular and they tend to be larger than a pencil eraser.

The cause of moles is not known, but atypical moles are hereditary and result from overexposure to sunlight. Risk factors that can increase the likelihood of developing moles include having moles present at birth, family members who have moles and overexposure to sunlight.

Most people have some benign moles that appear at birth, adolescence and puberty. Benign moles are usually dark brown, yellow-brown or flesh tone in color; one color; round or oval with distinct edges; flat and smooth, yet some can be raised, rough or change color over time. Signs that a mole may be atypical include a sudden change in size, shape, texture or color; larger than the tip of an eraser; a mixture of colors; irregular edges; abnormal surface; itchy, tender or painful; and abnormally colored skin surrounding it.

Benign moles do not require treatment, but those that are unsightly or irritated can be removed. Atypical moles are removed surgically under local anesthesia. If cancerous cells are found, additional surgery or follow-up may be necessary. To prevent moles from becoming atypical avoid excessive sun exposure, wear a hat and protective clothing when in the sun and wear sunscreen with an SPF 15 or higher. Monitor moles for changes and report any sudden changes to a doctor.
