The most common moles in medicine are pigmented nevi, which are benign tumors of the melanocytic system. Moles can be found on more than 90% of the people, but the only difference is the size and number. All benign tumors have the potential to become malignant, and moles are no exception. However, according to statistics, this possibility is very small, with only about one in a million moles turning into tumors. If your mole has hair on its surface, you can be more assured, because hairy moles are mostly benign. In pathological diagnosis, junctional nevi are the most common nevi that may cause malignant transformation, while intradermal nevi are less likely to undergo malignant transformation. Moles on areas that are prone to friction and irritation, such as the palms, soles of the feet, face, and neck, should be carefully observed, because friction and irritation are one of the causes of cancer. If you find any of the following conditions, you should see a doctor for a clear diagnosis as soon as possible.
