People have always had a dual attitude towards moles on their bodies. On the one hand, neat, cute pigment spots are a unique decoration of sorts, characteristic of a particular individual.
People with a mole on the upper lip are considered to be demanding and strict. A mole on the lower lip indicates refinement. A mole on the lip border indicates the suspiciousness of its owner, undeveloped will and responsibility.
Every person has moles – some have more, some have less. They appear in the first months of a child's life and remain for life. In some nations, the presence of many moles on the body is considered a sign of a long, happy and comfortable life.
A mole can be congenital or acquired, that is, appearing after birth. The reason why ordinary cellular structures degenerate into melanocytes is not yet known for certain.
Usually, the same signs as other nevi indicate that cancer is developing in a mole on a stalk - it changes shape, color, outline, begins to bleed and increases in size. If you notice such manifestations, you should immediately contact a doctor.
