It is difficult for most people to distinguish between moles and freckles. Some people think that protruding moles are freckles, but this is not the case. It cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences. Next, let us better understand what moles and freckles are.

Introduction to mole

Moles are medically called "pigmented nevi". They are benign tumors of the skin that are differentiated from nerve cells. People of different ages and genders may develop moles. Generally speaking, moles are harmless to humans, but moles growing on special parts such as the palms, soles of feet, and lips require attention. Because these parts are prone to friction, moles may become malignant and develop into malignant melanoma. Therefore, it is recommended that moles growing in special parts should be removed in a timely manner. This operation can be performed in an outpatient clinic. After the operation, it is best to make a pathological section of the removed part to observe whether there are any changes, whether it has been cut cleanly, and whether it is benign or malignant.

They are prone to occur on the face and extensor surfaces of the limbs, especially the backs of the hands and feet, as well as the waist and buttocks. They are occasionally seen in the conjunctiva, oral cavity, cervix, etc. Almost everyone has pigmented moles, the only difference is the number. It often occurs in children or adolescence and may appear as macules, papules, warts or nodules and may occur in any part of the body. The color is usually yellow, brown or black, but can also be blue or purple.
