Moles Moles are composed of cells that have traveled to the skin from the nervous system by the 5th month of fetal life. Many of these cells are capable of producing dark pigment. All moles are felt to be present in the skin at birth, or shortly thereafter, although most darken later.

There is an average of 15 moles on each person. If moles become cancerous, they are called melanomans. Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer with a tenancy to spread quickly. The deeper the cancer goes into the tissue, the more often it spreads throughout the body. Therefore, having the area checked early is very important because the longer the cancer remains on the skin, the greater tendency it has to invade deeper.
