Can Skin Moles Develop Into a Cancerous
Growth
Skin Moles are extremely common. In fact, most adults have
fifteen to twenty in a variety of places on their body. Some may
have much more. Most of the skin moles appear during the first
20 years of the person's life.
They are classified as a tumor and as such are the most common
tumor among humans. The large majority of them is harmless and
will not cause any problem except perhaps cosmetic problems.
Some can however be precancerous and can develop into very
dangerous types of cancer. Your physician is the only one that can
diagnose the danger of a growth. If a skin mole keeps coming
back, it may be indicative of a possible melanoma.
Even though that sounds scary, most growths are perfectly
harmless. The harmful or dangerous ones are referred to as
dysplastic nevi. These ones can eventually become melanoma.
These atypical growths are most common in people with a genetic
predisposition.
Here are some signs that your skin mole might be dangerous. This
is not a complete list. If you suspect something more, you should
contact your physician right away.
Cancerous skin moles may possess one, some, or all of the
following qualities:
•
•

If you are concerned about a skin mole being cancerous or
dangerous, only your physician will be able to put your mind
completely at ease. The sooner you contact a physician; the
better off you will be if the skin mole is dangerous.
