There are many moles on the body

In our lives, many people have moles on their bodies, but generally there are relatively few moles, and moles in different parts of the body represent different meanings. In physiognomy, based on the location of a person's moles, it is possible to judge the person's future life trajectory. In fact, moles are caused by excessive melanin in the body. Excessive melanin gathers together to form moles, so why do we have so many moles on our bodies?

The most common moles in medicine are pigmented nevi, which are benign tumors of the melanocytic system. Moles can be found on more than 90% of the people, but the only difference is the size and number. All benign tumors have the potential to become malignant, and moles are no exception. However, according to statistics, this possibility is very small, with only about one in a million moles turning into tumors. If your mole has hair on its surface, you can be more assured, because hairy moles are mostly benign. In pathological diagnosis, junctional nevi are the most common nevi that may cause malignant transformation, while intradermal nevi are less likely to undergo malignant transformation. Moles on areas susceptible to friction and irritation, such as the palms, soles of feet, face, and neck, should be carefully observed, because friction and irritation are one of the causes of cancer. If you find any of the following situations, you should seek a clear diagnosis as soon as possible.

① Rapidly increase in size in a short period of time, and the color becomes darker or uneven;

②Ulceration, bleeding, and scab;

③ Red halo or satellite nevus appears around the mole;

④Sudden onset of obvious itching or tingling.

In this case, the mole will generally be removed together with the surrounding and deep tissues, and the specimen will be sent for pathological examination. If it is indeed a malignant melanoma, further comprehensive treatment will be required.

Almost everyone has moles. Black moles can be divided into flat moles, sparrow-like moles, hairy moles, animal-skin-like moles, etc. Some people worry about having moles. In fact, moles are benign tumors containing melanocytes, which usually do not undergo or rarely undergo malignant changes. According to statistics, those who undergo malignant transformation only account for one in hundreds of thousands or millions. But it may also turn into a malignant state and must be given sufficient attention.

Signs of malignant transformation of a mole include: sudden rapid growth, rapid expansion, darkening and shining color, redness and inflammation around the mole, pain, the surface changing from smooth to rough, the hairy mole beginning to lose hair, exudation or bleeding and ulceration in the mole, enlargement of nearby lymph nodes, small lumps forming inside the mole or satellite moles appearing around it.

When dealing with moles, you should neither be afraid nor be numb. You should take it seriously, but don't alarm it. Usually, do not rub, corrode or scratch moles to prevent the rapid differentiation of cancer cells and malignant transformation. Pay special attention to moles that suddenly increase in size, darken in color, or have a rough and keratinized surface, and seek treatment as soon as possible.
