How do skin moles develop

The formation of skin moles starts from skin cells called melanocytes. These cells are responsible for the production of melanin. Melanin is the substance that gives skin and hair its colour.  A skin mole forms when melanocytes pile up or grow abnormally close to each other, rather than being spread evenly on the surface of the skin. There are a few reasons for this to happen. The reasons are listed below:

1) Genetics
2) Hormones secreted by the body ( more common amongst female)
3) Too much exposure to the sun.

Are skin moles dangerous?

All skin moles have potential to become skin cancer. As such, one should be very alert and vigilant in watching the skin moles for traces of melanoma, which grows from melanocytes cells. Sudden change in a mole, whether it is bleeding, rapid growth or irregular size can signify the growth of basal cell, squamous cell or malignamt melanoma.

Changes in a skin mole or multiple mole call for immediate attention by a skin specialist or dermatologist. Thought basal cell is not likely to spread to other parts of the body, moles can grow to exceptional size and may cause scarring after removal.

Squamous cell and melnoma can metastaize at an alarming rate, spreading cancerous cells to other parts of the body. As such, even the smallest skin moles should be watched for rapid changes.

Common Mole Removal Techniques

Mole removal is also known as nevi removal or mole excision.
Amongst the most common mole removal techniques used by skin speciallist and dermatologist are as listed below :

1)  Surgical (either standard or laser)
2) Depositing acid on the mole to burn away the discoloured tissue
3) Freezing the mole with liquid nitrogen and cutting the mole out with a scapel

What is a mole?

A mole is usually a dark pigmentation on the skin which can be found on any part of the body. Moles can vary in colour ranging from pink, brown to black. A skin mole can be either flat or raised. Some moles can also sprout hair which is common.

The diagram beside shows a cross section of the epidermis and dermis which are the top and bottom layers of the skin. Melanocytes are the melanin producing cells which reside at the bottom of the epidermis. Melanin is the pigment that gives the skin, eyes and hair its colour. A mole can either be subdermal (under the skin)  or a pigmented area of the skin which is mostly due to the unusual build up of melanocytes on a concentrated area of the skin.
