Moles are flat or raised, dark skin lesions that may be present at birth or may even develop later in life. Many of the moles that develop during adulthood are related to sun exposure and effects on melanin production.
While mostly thought of as brown, moles can come in a variety of colors, including red, pink, and flesh-colored. Some may also have hairs that grow from them. They are usually benign and stay the same for years together. Moles turning cancerous is a rarity in Indian skin, but is still a possibility.
