Deciding Whether To Keep Skin Moles Or Get Rid Of Them

A huge part of being 'beautiful' in today's definition is having clear and blemish-free skin. But we are not all so lucky to be born with that gift. We get skin moles  because of either heredity ,physiology ,as nature's joke or lack of luck. But that doesn't mean we can't do anything about it. We are currently given many options about how to get rid of moles that all that's left for us to do is to pick which one is best for us.

Before we go any further, let us discuss what skin moles are. The dark or pigmented spots normally found on the skin in different parts of the body are what we call skin moles. Moles are brought about by various reasons. It could be that the person belongs to a family who has a history of skin moles. It could also be that they have such a fair skin that develops these moles when exposed too much or too long to the sun. It is possible for the moles to appear during one's birth, or when they reach adulthood. There is no specific time frame that moles choose to appear on the skin.

Moles come in varying shapes and sizes. Their colors also tend to vary. They could take on a range of colors, from brown to black, even skin tone. Moles are generally made from harmless melanocytes. Except for beauty  purposes and health reasons, there is no pressing need to get rid of moles.

It is natural for our looks to have such a huge effect on our confidence and how we see things. Moles that are unfortunately located in awkward spots on the body have a way of making one feel less confident or have self-esteem issues. In order to boost their confidence, they feel the need to remove those skin moles.

However, the probability of the moles becoming cancerous is the primary motivation of many people to undergo mole removal treatments or procedures. When should we start worrying that our moles could eventually lead to cancer? Start off by keeping a close watch on the mole.

When trying to assess if the mole is a potential melanoma, there are factors you have to consider. A look at the asymmetry could tell you whether one side of the mole looks the same as the other half. You should also see a dermatologist immediately if you notice irregularities on the borders of the skin moles. Moles that are showing signs of color variations are showing danger signs since harmless moles are supposed to have a uniform tinge all throughout.

You can also make use of the measurement or dimensions of the mole to judge whether to be concerned or not. The diameter of the moles should not exceed 6mm. If they do, have it looked at it. Moles that are exhibiting signs of changing colors, sizes, or shapes, as well as some bleeding, should put you on your guard. These irregularities should encourage you to go to an experienced dermatologist and have her take a look.

It is important that you avoid panicking once you notice these changes taking place with your moles. Panicking will not gain you anything. Getting all worked up about it will only prevent you from making the right decisions regarding your skin moles.
