The reason why black moles hurt a little

Moles are extremely common to us, and everyone has one or two. Some people who read palms and tell fortunes always like to talk about moles, saying whether it is good or bad depending on where the moles appear. I think moles do have good and bad sides, and it does depend on where they appear. But this mainly depends on whether the mole is benign or malignant. A benign mole will not cause any feeling, but a malignant mole will indicate a certain disease. So why do moles hurt a bit?

Moles are originally benign tumors and usually have no effect on the body. However, if they grow, change, or become noticeable, they may be changing and treatment is necessary. Generally speaking, the condition of the wound after laser removal of the mole will be significantly different depending on the depth of color, shape, size, and depth of the mole itself. If the mole is dark in color, the wound surface may be darker than normal skin color; if the mole is located deeper, there may be sunken marks on the skin. After laser mole removal, the wound surface will be reddish, and the redness will gradually fade after 2-4 weeks. After 1-2 months, skin color returns to normal.

The general cause of moles is an increase in melanocytes. Everyone has pigmented moles, but only a very small number of them can become malignant. Generally speaking, mature moles will not become malignant, such as hairy moles, which are generally mature moles. Therefore, hairy moles generally will not become malignant. If a junctional nevus appears in an adult, it is likely to be an immature nevus and there is a chance of malignant transformation.

Pigmented moles that occur on the palms, soles of the feet, waist belt, shoulders and backs of women where they are often rubbed by bra straps can easily induce cancer due to repeated friction or irritation. In addition, some people believe that if pigmented nevi are not treated thoroughly, the nevus cells may be stimulated and may induce cancer. Therefore, all of the above moles must be removed. If other pigmented moles are likely to become malignant, there will often be some precursors, such as redness and inflammation around a mole for no other reason, or the color of the mole suddenly darkens; the edges of the mole that originally had clear boundaries become blurred, or one side is clear and the other side is unclear, and the color is dark on one side and light on the other; the pigmented mole suddenly becomes larger in a short period of time; the surface changes from smooth to rough, and changes such as erosion, exudation, and bleeding occur; if several small black spots suddenly appear around a black mole, that is, a satellite-like mole appears, you should be highly alert to the malignant transformation of this mole.

It is formed by the abnormal increase and accumulation of melanin granules secreted by melanocytes or melanocytes in the skin. For example, common black moles are formed by the accumulation of increased melanocytes in nests or clusters; while in nevus of Ota and freckles, the increased melanocytes are scattered and can appear in different colors due to the different depths of their distribution.

There are many types of moles. The most common one is the localized black mole (which is divided into boundary nevus, intradermal nevus and compound nevus according to its depth). In addition, there are giant black moles (congenital melanocytic nevus with huge area), halo nevus (melanocytic nevus with surrounding ring-shaped skin hypopigmentation), simple freckle-like nevus (moles), freckles (appear on exposed parts such as the face, are brown in color, and deepen after sun exposure), cafe au lait spots (light brown patches that appear at birth), chloasma (light brown patches that appear on the cheeks and forehead of healthy women), nevus of Ota (blue-brown nevus on the eye and maxilla), nevus of Ito (blue-brown nevus on the trunk and limbs), blue nevus (blue maculopapules or nodules), etc.

After reading the above introduction to the reasons why moles are a bit painful, I think everyone should have understood it. Benign moles do not cause any feeling and will not change at all, but if a black mole is a little painful, it may become malignant. Therefore, when we encounter such a problem, we must quickly identify the cause and take appropriate methods and approaches to improve and treat it.
