Moles are very common. The number of moles you have depends on your family history and sun exposure. Adults who have light skin and a lot of sun exposure often have more moles. There are several types of moles and each has a different appearance. Moles can appear anywhere on the skin, including the scalp, between the fingers and toes, on the soles and palms, and even under the nails. Most moles do not need to be removed. Normal moles can change in appearance over time. However, change can also be a warning sign for melanoma. Suspicious moles should be evaluated. These include moles that are “ugly ducklings” or look different than your other moles or moles that are changing in shape, color or size, itching, or bleeding. A board certified dermatologist is the best person to determine if a changing mole needs to be removed.
