Is it good to have hair growing on moles?

Moles can be congenital or acquired. They are mainly caused by the abnormal increase of cells and pigments in the dermis of our human body. Some moles will grow hair. In this case, we need to judge whether it is good or not based on its specific manifestation. If the mole is relatively small, it can be ignored. The following is a detailed introduction to whether it is good or not to have hair on moles?

The previous view was that hairy moles or hairy pigmented nevi are not likely to become malignant, but the current view is that whether there is hair on the mole has no direct relationship with whether the mole is likely to become malignant. But do not irritate the hair on the mole, try to reduce the stimulation as much as possible, including pulling or scraping with a knife. If it is repeatedly irritated, the risk of malignancy will increase. If the diameter of the hairy mole is larger than 0.6 cm, complete surgical removal is recommended. Because larger moles have a greater risk of becoming malignant; small moles can be observed if there are no obvious symptoms.

In fact, from a medical point of view, the reason why moles appear on the surface of our human body is due to the increase in the number of melanocytes in our skin. When the melanin in our skin is continuously deposited in the dermis, intradermal nevus will be formed. This situation will manifest itself as moles on the outside of the skin. Generally speaking, moles develop slowly and do not require any treatment. However, some patients will have hair growing on their moles. This is actually normal hair growth on the skin. From a medical point of view, it does not mean that the patient will have any clinical symptoms.

It’s just that my country has had the theory of physiognomy since ancient times. Some patients who believe in physiognomy think that moles with hair on them represent some information. But generally speaking, this statement cannot be confirmed by any scientific theory. Therefore, if patients find that their moles are growing hair and feel that it has seriously affected their daily lives and has had an adverse effect on their appearance, then we can use scientific methods to remove the moles.

The most common methods for removing moles on the market now are drug corrosion and laser treatment. However, if you are not careful with these two methods, they may very likely cause facial scarring. Therefore, if patients want to remove moles on their faces, it is best to seek treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor. There is no need to pick or scrape with sharp tools, and do not blindly buy some so-called mole removal lotions to apply, because this behavior may not only fail to effectively remove our moles, but may stimulate the moles to become malignant and cause other skin problems. Therefore, it is recommended that if you want to remove obvious moles on your skin, you must go to a professional beauty institution and receive treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor.
