3. Viruses and trauma - recent studies have shown that moles on the eyelid can appear due to radiation exposure, frequent X-rays, from bites of some insects, with viral infections (particularly papillomavirus) and other injuries.
4. Malfunction in the hormonal background - most often moles in the century appear in women during pregnancy or in adolescence.
