What danger is hidden growing moles, their variety and methods of removal

Until the 18th century, birthmarks on the body of a woman were diabolical signs, and if hair still grew there, such women were considered witches. Many people were burned at the stake. If such spots were found on the body of a newborn, he was threatened with death with his mother.

At the end of time, the attitude towards them changed, growing birthmarks became an ornament and a pride of their possessor. Some women who do not have black "flies", independently painted or glued them on their face, to give a certain piquancy and attractiveness. Scientists have not yet studied the biological fact of the appearance on the body of various neoplasms.

Species of moles

• A flat spot of brown or black color is called lentigo.
• Slightly convex light brown spots - epidermo-dermal nevi. The most common on the genitals, soles, palms.
• Dark almost black birthmarks of oval form - complex nevuses.
• Pigmentary spots of corporal or light brown color, framed along the edge of a white rim - nevus Sutton.
• The most dangerous moles are intradermal nevuses. Their color varies from black to corporal, they are convex warty forms often covered with hair.
• Dysplastic nevi are hereditary birthmarks of various forms and color palettes.

A little bit about moles

A person is born with clean skin without any stains, it is extremely rare for a baby to see a black dot. Usually, the first birthmark appears from the year, their number can increase in adolescence. As a child grows and birthmarks, they can not change their size during life, and can increase dozens of times. Growing birthmarks of an abnormal, anomalous configuration are a sign of hormonal imbalance, such phenomena are extremely dangerous for a person, for the most part they degenerate into oncology.

Adverse factors that provoke the process of rebirth

Human skin is a favorable environment for the propagation of dangerous microorganisms. An important role is played by the surrounding atmosphere: ozone holes, chemical waste, water saturated with harmful impurities, polluted air, substandard products, rich in preservatives. But nevertheless, the main factors provoking the emergence of malignant moles are:

1. Hormonal failure (during menopause and pregnancy, during puberty)
2. Heredity
3. Endocrine pathologies
4. Permanent trauma (friction against clothing, accessories)
5. Prolonged exposure to sunlight (negative ultraviolet effect).

Among the listed factors, detrimental to growing moles, the greatest danger is ultraviolet. The skin develops a protective pigment to protect against the radiation of our body, but this stock of "solar capital" is not eternal and is quickly wasted with prolonged sunbathing, which entails various mutations. The main signs of degeneration of moles can be seen independently:

• Pronounced pigmentation or discoloration
• Change in size, the appearance of knots of different sizes
• Peeling, tingling, redness, itch around the areola
• The appearance of small cracks.

These moments are a serious reason to call on the oncodermatologist. What are the danger of birthmarks? Before starting treatment, a suspicious mole must be examined for cancer cells in order not to start oncology and prevent it from spreading to healthy organs, otherwise there is a high probability of melanoma (skin cancer). According to statistics, half melanoma occurs due to degenerated moles. To date, about 4% of malignant tumors have been recorded.

Removal methods

Growing moles are removed by laser coagulation, electrocoagulation, liquid nitrogen, surgically. After the procedure, the birthmark is sent to a special study - histology.
