Having moles (nevi) on your skin—whether on your face or elsewhere—is entirely normal, with most people having between 10 to 40. While most moles are harmless, some may be potentially cancerous and warrant attention.

What is a Mole?

• Moles are clusters of skin cells that appear as spots on the body.

• Most are brown in color—but can vary in shade, size, and texture.

  • They may be flat or raised, smooth or rough.

  • Some disappear over time, while others remain or even change.

• Sun exposure can darken existing moles and increase their number.

• Although often benign, changes in a mole’s appearance—especially rapid growth, irregular borders, or color changes—can be warning signs of melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer.

Type of Moles

1. Compound Moles

   • Slightly raised; color ranges from tan to dark brown.

2. Dermal Moles

   • Elevated and flesh-colored to brown; commonly found on the upper body and may contain hair.

3. Blue Moles

   • Slightly raised with deep coloration; frequently occur on the head, neck, and arms in women.
