Moles are mostly non-cancerous and harmless in nature. Typical moles may be oval or round in shape and in black, brown, pink or red colors. They can be flat or raised and may appear with or without hairs. In some moles appear right from birth and are called by the name congenital nevi. These moles can become bigger over time. Many factors lead to the formation of moles and these include factors such as age, race and other factors. Abnormal moles are called by the name dysplastic nevi. These moles can become cancerous eventually. When you see even slight changes in the size or color of the mole it is better to seek the advice of the doctor.

Even if there are signs such as itching or bleeding in moles you must seek medical advice as it could be a sign of melanoma. Unsightly moles on the face can be removed using various methods. In the laser removal method, a plastic surgeon aims the laser beam on the selected spot and burns away the mole. The immune system will absorb the debris while the body heals. The best solution for small and flat facial moles is the laser treatment. A number of surgical sessions may be required to remove a larger mole and the cost can also be very high for most people.
