The word mole can be used to describe a variety of sometimes quite different skin lesions:
They are usually raised and dark with one or more long hairs growing from the surface. They are usually benign but are often of significant cosmetic concern.
Red coloured moles are usually benign. They can be caused by a collection of blood vessels under the skin known as an angioma or haemangioma.
Dark moles can range from flat dark patches of pigmentation to raised dark moles. They are usually of no clinical concern. Most requests for removal are due to appearance, however any mole which has irregular borders, irregular pigmentation, is growing rapidly and/or causes itching/bleeding MUST be seen by a specialist.
Raised moles can be hairy and/or dark, and apart from cosmetic appearance, can sometimes interfere with clothing (e.g. bra straps) or grooming (e.g. a raised mole on the scalp).
Freckles are flat pigmented blemishes on the skin surface that can range in colour from light brown to black. The vast majority are of no medical concern, but occasionally their location can cause cosmetic concern (e.g. the tip of the nose).
Raised moles can be confused for warts and warts can be confused for raised moles. A wart is a growth on the skin surface caused by a virus (often HPV).
Skin tags are small, benign skin growths, raised from the skin surface on a stalk and they often occur on the neck and armpits. Whilst they are benign, they can become irritated by clothing, jewellery and can be cut when shaving.
