Moles - Treating Skin Growths
Are you concerned about moles on your skin? Looking for effective mole treatment in Chennai? At Dermea, our expert dermatologists offer advanced solutions to diagnose, manage, and remove moles, helping you maintain healthy, clear skin.
What Is A Skin Mole?
A mole, medically termed as nevus (plural: nevi), is a common type of skin growth caused by a cluster of pigmented cells. Moles can be flat or raised, and typically have an oval or round shape. They come in various colors, including brown, black, tan, red, blue, pink, or skin-colored. Moles can appear anywhere on the body and may occur alone or in groups.
Types and Classification of Moles
- Congenital moles: Present at birth, occurring in about 1 in 100 people.
- Acquired moles: Develop during childhood or adulthood, often due to sun exposure.
- Atypical or irregular moles (dysplastic nevi): Large moles with irregular shape and size, often hereditary.
- Subcision: Minimally invasive treatment to reduce scar depth
- Cancerous moles (melanomas): Highly irregular moles that may develop into skin cancer.
What Causes Moles?
Several factors contribute to the formation of moles on skin:
- Genetics: Inherited genes determine the presence, pattern, and number of moles.
- Sun exposure: Excessive UV exposure can lead to more moles, especially during childhood.
- Hormonal fluctuations: Changes during puberty or pregnancy can cause moles to develop or darken.
- Melanocyte clustering: Moles form when skin cells called melanocytes grow in clusters instead of spreading evenly.
- Intralesional Injections: Reduces size of raised scars
- Laser Toning: Targets flat, red, and pigmented acne scars
