What are moles?
Moles generally grow on your skin, which is caused by pigment cells known as melanocytes, which assemble on your skin. The mole appears as brown or black spots and can arise on any part of your body.
Most of these moles are safe. But a few of them might become cancerous. When diagnosing skin cancer, especially malignant melanoma, it is important to pay attention to changes in moles and other colored spots.
How are moles developed?
A mole occurs when melanocytes clump together. A few moles are from birth, whereas others evolve in the childhood stage. Most harmless moles occur before age 25. It’s common to have several moles until you reach adulthood. The average person has around 20 to 40 moles all over their body.
What are the options available for mole removal?

A whitening or peeling cream might help reduce the visibility of flat moles.
Chemical peels
