Why do moles itch?

Moles are the most common things on the skin of the human body. They usually appear in the shape of dots. Moles growing in special parts will have a certain impact on a person's image. The sizes of moles are completely different on different people. Some people have larger moles and will have itchy symptoms. So, why do moles itch? Let’s take a look at the explanation below. I hope everyone can understand this aspect.

Moles are the most common benign skin tumors. The following are signs of malignant transformation: increase in size, darkening, exudation, bleeding, ulceration, and pain or itching. Guidance: It is more intuitive to look at the pictures. It is recommended that you send the pictures for consultation to confirm before further treatment.

"Mole" is medically called nevus cell or melanocytic nevus, which is a skin manifestation caused by an increase in melanocytes in the epidermis and dermis. If the rash is raised above the skin surface, has a dome-like or nipple-like appearance, or has a pedicle, it is clinically called an intradermal nevus; those that are slightly raised above the skin surface are mostly mixed nevus; those that are not raised above the skin surface are junctional nevus.

As we all know, "mole" is a benign tumor and generally does not affect physical health. Intradermal nevi and compound nevi that are raised above the skin surface can be treated with laser or cryotherapy for cosmetic reasons, which can achieve satisfactory results. However, due to individual differences, some patients may leave slight scars after treatment; some people with specific physical conditions may even develop keloids, which is something we need to remind everyone.

Junctional nevi that are not higher than the skin surface are sometimes difficult to remove completely with laser or freezing, and there are cases of recurrence. It should be noted that pigmented nevi growing on the palms, lips and vulva are mostly junctional nevi. These junctional nevi in ​​areas of frequent friction and pressure may become cancerous. Therefore, junctional nevi growing in these areas should be completely removed by surgery to avoid future troubles. Junctional nevi growing on the face or other non-frictional areas generally do not need to be harassed by extreme methods, such as laser, freezing, drug corrosion, etc., because repeated and improper stimulation may also lead to cancer.
