Moles are small, coloured spots on the skin. Most people have them and they're usually nothing to worry about unless they change size, shape or colour.
Most moles are harmless
Most harmless moles are round or oval-shaped, with a smooth edge. They can be flat or raised and may feel smooth or rough. Sometimes they have hair growing from them.
It is normal for:
* babies to be born with moles
* new moles to appear - especially in children and teenagers
* moles to fade or disappear as you get older
* moles to get slightly darker during pregnancy
When to get medical help?
It is important to get medical help if ity:
* changes colour
* gets darker or has more than 2 colours
* starts itching, crusting flaking or bleeding
* gets larger or more raised from the skin
These changes can happen over weeks or months. They're sometimes a sign of melanoma - a type of skin cancer
