■ Causes of moles
Moles,A benign tumor formed by a cluster of nevus cells that are altered melanocytes, the pigment cells that produce melaninIt is. Large moles are often the result of birth, but small moles can also occur as a result of ultraviolet radiation. Irritation to the skin and disruption of the melanin elimination cycle are also causes of moles. Women may also experience darker moles due to hormonal imbalances, such as during pregnancy.
■Typical moles and symptoms
Moles are medically referred to as "lentigines" or "pigmented nevi. There are multiple types of moles, but lentigo simplex and nevus cell nevus are the most common.
Simple Blacks

A simple lentiginous mole is a small dark brown or black mole about 1 to 2 mm in diameter. They are caused when melanocytes, which produce melanin pigment, gather in the shallow areas of the skin and overproduce melanin pigment. They may be present at birth, but those that are acquired tend to gradually increase in number from around the age of 3-4 years.
Nevocytic nevus

Nevocytic nevi are one of the pigmented nevi. They vary in shape from flat to raised, and are black to brown in color. They are caused by an increase in nevus cells from the epidermal-dermal junction to the dermis and are divided into the following three types
- Borderline nevus...a dark, flat mole with nevus cells at the border between the epidermis and dermis
- Intradermal nevus...light brown raised mole with nevus cells located only in the dermis
- Compound nevus...a black or brown, raised mole that originates from the border between the epidermis and dermis to the shallow dermis

Moles are benign tumors that are primarily melanocytes altered in the dermis of the skin. Common spots, on the other hand, are caused by deposition and accumulation of melanin pigment in the epidermis of the skin. Unlike common spots, some dermal melanocytosis (ADM) forms in the dermis, but the color and unevenness of the skin determine whether it is a mole or ADM.
