Moles and birthmarks are common skin growths that can vary in size, color, and appearance. While many are harmless, changes in a mole or birthmark may require professional evaluation to rule out skin cancer or other skin conditions.
Symptoms & Causes
Moles and birthmarks may appear flat or raised and can develop anywhere on the body. Some may darken, enlarge, itch, or become irritated over time. Genetics, sun exposure, and aging can all contribute to changes in the skin.
