Early Signs and Symptoms of Skin Moles Formation

Skin moles can form on any part of the body including the scalp on the head and at the back of the ears, however skin moles form most commonly on the body, hands, face, arms, legs and parts of the body that have high exposure to sunlight. Some moles are even formed before birth.

Early symtoms of mole formation include itching, irritation, skin colour change, skin texture change and in severe cases, bleeding, and oozing of puss. In severe cases, it would be good to make an appointment with the dermatologist to do a skin biopsy procedure to ensure that the mole forming is not cancerous.

Skin moles in the early stages, are not obvious and only show as a small discolouration to the skin, however, over time, the discolouration builds up and mole cells get deposited in a layered manner allowing the surface of the skin to be raised compared to the surrounding parts of the skin.

People with lighter skin are more prone to have more skin moles as compared to people with darker skin colour.
