Every person has moles, they are nevuses. They can "settle" both on the face and on any other part of the body. Nevi are large and small, brown and red (and some other colors), flat and hanging, with a hair growing out of them and without it. I wonder why moles appear? Are they safe for human health? Should I get rid of them? Let's try to find answers to all these questions.
The first moles appear in young children aged 1-2 years. Those. a person is born without them, but even in infancy they are poorly visible and usually small in size, so you can not always pay attention to them. Over time, their number may increase, especially during puberty. Nevuses can also appear in an adult, regardless of how old he is. In order to understand
why moles appear, it should be explained that they are spots with a high content of the melanin pigment, which is responsible for skin color. The production of melanin is associated with ultraviolet light, so moles can appear during a long exposure to the sun. But not only for this reason.
Moles also appear at the genetic level, during pregnancy, with hormonal failure. According to statistics, women “suffer” from them more often than men. The same goes for people with pale skin, red hair and blue eyes.
Are moles safe
It is believed that if moles do not cause a person any inconvenience, then they are safe. But if there is redness, darkening, enlargement, you want to scratch, you feel pain, blood comes out and hair grows from the mole quickly, it’s time to sound the alarm. You should also consult a doctor if birthmarks appear in large numbers, and the symptoms described above also make themselves felt. Large nevi are more dangerous, as they can lead to the development of a tumor. They should be observed especially carefully, and on the recommendation of a doctor, they should be removed altogether.
It should be remembered that moles should not be exposed. They do not rip off, do not pick, do not scratch. They cannot be injured. That is why those nevi that are located in places subject, for example, to cuts or bumps, should also be removed. Among these dangerous areas, we note the feet, neck, palms and wrists.
Interesting fact
English scientists have come to the conclusion that if moles appear, then you can understand how quickly a person ages. So, if there are a lot of nevuses on a person’s body, he will live much longer than those with only a few moles. Believe it or not, everyone will decide for himself.
So, we have determined with you what moles appear from, although to the end the reasons for their origin are not disclosed. I want to note that you should not treat them as harmless residents of your body. Even if they do not cause you problems, often look at their appearance and size. Well, if you still have not consulted a doctor in the presence of large nevi, be sure to do this in order to beware of the development of neoplastic diseases.
