What is a Skin Mole?

A mole on your skin is also known as a nevus, or a beauty mark. It is very common to have moles and most are harmless. They’re not contagious and they shouldn’t hurt, itch, or bleed. 

Your skin is the largest organ in your body. Skin moles are growths on your skin that range in colour from your natural skin tone to brown or black. Moles can appear anywhere on your skin or mucous membranes, alone or in groups.

Most skin moles appear in early childhood and during the first 20 years of life. It is normal for a person to have between 10 to 40 moles by adulthood.

The life cycle of an average mole is about 50 years. As the years pass, moles usually change slowly, becoming raised and lighter in color. Often, hairs develop on the mole. Some moles will not change at all and some will slowly disappear over time

What causes a Skin Mole?

A skin mole, or nevus, is a normal skin growth that develops when pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) grow in groups. They appear as small, dark marks, or sometimes flesh-coloured small bumps, on your skin. Moles can appear in a range of different colours, shapes and sizes

Certain moles are at higher risk for changing into cancerous growths such as malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer. Moles that are present at birth and atypical moles have a greater chance of becoming cancerous.

How Are Skin Moles Treated?

Cosmetic mole removal

Most moles are harmless. Harmless moles are not usually treated on the NHS but can be treated here at ClearMed Clinic. 

Cancerous Moles 

Moles only need treating if they’re a sign of melanoma. The main treatment for melanoma is surgery to remove the mole.
