Question: What exactly is a mole!?

Answers:
Moles are discolored spots elevated above the surface of the skin!. They are congenital, and as a rule they are harmless!. A change in shape or color is not normal and should be evaluated by a doctor, as well as scaling, oozing, bleeding, itchiness, tenderness, or pain!. It could be a warning of melanoma, a sometimes deadly form of skin cancer!. A freckle is an accumulation of melanin, the chemical that gives us our skin and hair pigmentation!. It's just a localized spot of coloration and is not a mole!. Exposure to sun makes us produce more melanin, thus the freckles!. Melanin can be present melanomas also!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
