What Are Moles?
Moles are also called nevi (plural) or nevus (singular). They are flat or raised spots which appear on the skin during childhood or teenage years due to clusters of cells known as melanocytes. They range in color from the skin’s color to brown and black.
Most moles are harmless however some can be signs of cancer. The following are the signs that show that a mole is dangerous and that it needs to be removed:
A Asymmetry which means the mole does not have an even round or oval shape with the left side matching the right side.
B Border irregularity which means that the mole does not have a smooth even border around it as its borders are notched or ragged.
C Color variability which means that the mole has different shades of color.
D Diameter of more than 6 mm.
E Evolving by changing in size, shape, color, becoming itchy, bleeding or changing in any other way.
If a mole has any of these signs, it is an atypical mole and it must be removed so that it can be examined in the lab for signs of cancer.
