Visual Signs That You Actually Have Health Problems

Moles on Skin

Moles are a common type of growth on the skin. They often appear as small, dark brown spots and are caused by clusters of pigmented cells. Moles generally appear during childhood and adolescence. Most people have 10 to 45 moles, almost all of which appear before age 40. Some moles may fade or disappear as you age.

It can be extremely difficult to work out whether a mole is harmless or not on your own. Having said that, you should be on the lookout for new or changing moles that need to get an expert opinion on whether or not they are something more serious or not.

Some moles can be a sign of skin cancer or other health problems, which is always something to take very seriously, although there is also a good chance that they could be nothing to worry about at all. You're always best to have a dermatologist check them out if you're concerned about any skin changes.
