How to Spot the Top Skin Care Products in 2 Easy Steps?
Not too long ago, a facial mole, depending on where it was located, was known as a "beauty mark" when it appeared on a woman's face. Some examples include Marilyn Monroe, Cindy Crawford and Madonna. Even the fictional Ms. Pac-Man had a beauty mark. Madonna's facial mole, located just below her right nostril, was surgically removed. Some facial moles had other connotations based on superstition or ridicule.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the majority of moles appear during the first two decades of a person's life, while about one in every 100 babies is born with moles. Most moles are benign and not dangerous, but some moles are considered a minor skin malformation and may cause a higher risk for melanoma. A mole will either grow under the skin as a sub-dermal type or become a pigmented growth on the skin. (wikipedia)
Almost everyone with light skin is susceptible and will have at least one or two moles somewhere on their body, while large numbers may be concentrated on the back, chest, and arms. People with darker skin shades, however, tend to have fewer moles. Most people will have several moles by the time they become 20.
Some folklore about moles includes the notion that picking at a mole can cause it to become cancerous or grow back larger and there is evidence that certain moles may in fact become skin cancer. Although chronic picking or irritation (by clothing) of a mole can be detrimental in many ways, it has not been associated with a higher incidence of cancer.
