Your body is literally covered with moles? What are the main changes that occur to a mole when it becomes cancerous? The human body is covered with specific formations of brown, pink, red, black. A mole can be flat or convex, it depends on the layer of the skin in which the melanocytes are located. There are a number of symptoms and signs that indicate the degeneration of a mole into melanoma – these are not only dangerous moles, but also malignant tumors.
Moles are classified by type, and there are several that are at risk. Dangerous moles require detailed diagnostics to determine the treatment method.
Moles at risk require increased attention
Extended list of mole types:
- epidermal-dermal moles (nevi) flat cinnamon;
- marginal moles are even in color, often darken, resistant to sunlight;
- complex moles may be dark or even black, prominent, may grow;
- blue moles rise noticeably on the skin, have an even, smooth surface. Such a mole can be blue or blue. This mole can be confused with cancer, but it does not always lead to such a rebirth;
- dysplastic moles may be blurry, irregularly shaped, often inherited from parents;
- Sotton's nevi are considered not even a mole, but rather a spot, it can appear or disappear for no reason;
- large pigmented nevus – this is a congenital mole, it can grow with the child, therefore it requires observation.

A blue mole got its color from the level of melanin reflection, it originates deep in the epithelium. A blue mole may cause skin cancer. Often appears in the buttocks, and constant irritation can lead to an oncological diagnosis. To find out about the quality of this type of mole, a biopsy should be performed. This analysis will show whether the mole is benign or already dangerous, the nature of the formation will also be known, which will direct specialists to the path of treatment.
Senile keratomas are formations that appear in old age, in the process of skin aging. First, a delicate pink speck appears, which is constantly changing in color, character and shape. The stain may thicken, darken, hairs appear. The color changes to brown and brown. Although these moles are classified as benign, they can often degenerate into a life-threatening wart or tumor.

The main signs of the degeneration of a mole into a cancerous one:
- first of all, the color changes: either it becomes barely visible or darkens to black, black dots (nodules, rosaries) may appear along the edges;
- change in the texture of the mole: a bright pattern may appear or, on the contrary, disappear, peeling appears;
- the shape of the mole changes significantly: the boundaries blur, a disproportion appears;
- the size of the mole increases, it becomes more protruding, begins to interfere, the seal increases;
- a crust appears on the surface of the transformed mole;
- mole itches, tingles, constantly strains, it may even hurt;
- if there were hairs, they begin to die off and fall out;
- a rash appears around the mole, which can be confused with an allergy;
- A crack may appear on the mole that bleeds or a sore.
Warnings for any type of mole
If there are dangerous moles on the body, you should periodically observe them, use a ruler to measure, control growth or changes in shape. The sun can influence changes in a mole and degeneration into melanoma. Aggressive rays can dry out and cause characteristic changes.
Tanning in a solarium is contraindicated for those people whose body is densely covered with moles. When wearing tight clothes, moles can be damaged, grow, change. If there are cracks and sores, there is a chance to bring the infection into the blood. Heredity may not play into your hands, since a malignant formation can be inherited. If the mole is damaged, this should initially cause a desire to be examined. In addition to a biopsy, the doctor may order additional tests that will show a complete picture of the state of health and tell you how to treat dangerous moles.
