Mole, which we call medically melanocytic nevus, is very common. Most people have moles on their face or other parts of the body.
Types Of Moles
1) Junctional nevus:-
The epidermis of the skin and the part of the dermis contain cells of this mole which we call junctional nevus
2) Intradermal Nevus:-
These mole cells are in the dermis area so it is called intradermal
3) Compound nevus:-
This means that compound moles are in the junction cell area and also in the dermis area
Predisposing Factors:-
UV exposure: - People who have more exposure to sunlight, those who have to work longer hours in the sun are more likely to see moles.
Skin colour: - Mole is more common on dark skin than light skin
Genetic predisposition:-Genetic predisposition means that if other people in your family have moles, you are more likely to get moles
Most of the time they appear in teenage but at any age or point of time in your life, they can appear on your body or face.
Generally, your skin contains melatonin cells that produce melatonin pigments. These pigments give your skin a normal colour. For some reason, these cells accumulate in parts of the body and form moles.
Although mole does not harm you, it does not look good so people remove it.
If there are warning signs, it is necessary to remove the mole

It can be removed by surgery.
°Non surgically
If your mole is small and of medium size, you can remove it in a non-surgical way, using a CO2 laser or RFA.
RFA (Radio Frequency Ablation) and CO2 laser are two different devices for mole removal
After removing the mole, there is a chance of a small scar.
