Our skin has cells called melanocytes. They give our skin its color. However sometimes, these cells tend to grow in clusters, thus forming moles. Moles can be present at birth or can appear later in life. They are usually black or brown and can be flat or raised. Some moles may even disappear with age. Usually, moles are not cancerous. But doctors have come up with a rule called ABCDE rule which will help you indicate whether the mole is cancerous or not. A stands for asymmetric shape, B stands for border, C stands for color, D stands for diameter and E stands for evolution. Besides this, it is believed but there is no conclusive evidence that excess exposure to sunlight and genetics might play a role in the formation of moles.
