What is That Dark Spot?

Many people think that any dark spot on their skin is a mole but a doctor would tell you differently. There are people who are born with moles and other people will see them develop over time.  They say sun exposure can play a role in the the making of a mole but this has not be verified.

Dermatologists will also tell you that heredity is a big factor, with families often showing the same type of mole in many members. 

Having a mole removed can have its own risks. You can get an infection or an allergy to the anesthetic and possibly even nerve damage. This is why it is so important to choose a dermatologist who has the right skills and experience to deal with the removal.  A scar is the most common difficulty that happens after a mole removal. Many people will want a mole removed for cosmetic reasons not thinking about the scar left behind.
