Some people have more than 100 atypical moles, and new ones may keep appearing even after middle age. The tendency to grow atypical moles is hereditary, though some people without a family history can develop them. Whether the risk of melanoma is high in people who have atypical moles but no family history of melanoma is unknown. They should have their skin checked yearly by their primary care doctor or dermatologist. Any such change in an atypical mole means that the mole should be removed.
Some experts think that sunlight accelerates the development of and changes in atypical moles.
People with atypical moles should avoid sun exposure. Skin Tags Skin tags are soft, small, flesh-colored or slightly darker skin flaps that appear mostly on the neck, in the armpits, or in the groin. Usually, skin tags cause no trouble, but they may be unattractive, and clothing or nearby skin may rub and irritate them. A doctor can easily remove a skin tag by either freezing it with liquid nitrogen or cutting it off with a scalpel or scissors. Lipomas Lipomas are soft deposits of fatty material that grow under the skin, causing round or oval lumps.
