Health Tip: About Those Moles
|
(HealthDayNews) -- There are two types of moles: congenital and acquired. Most babies are born without moles, but with time, small moles start to appear. By age 20, most people have 20 to 40 visible moles, the Nevus Network says. These moles are usually less than a pencil eraser in size. Only one in 100 babies are born with a mole -- medically known as a congenital nevus. Nevi vary in size, shape, surface texture and hairiness. The color can vary from light tan to nearly black. Many have long, thick, darker, coarser or curlier hair. Cutting or shaving this hair will not increase its growth. Some moles have a permanent "goose bump" appearance because a tiny muscle, called the piloerector muscle, is enlarged.
