Moles, we all have them, and most of them have been on our skin since we were young. Moles are clusters of skin cells that form a dark spot on our skin.  Most moles are completely harmless; however, some moles are a risk factor for melanoma, which can be a life-threatening form of skin cancer. As we age, moles can change their shape, color, or size. If these change occur, you should be checked by a dermatologist as these signs can be an indication of skin cancer, which requires treatment. The best way to be sure your skin stays healthy is with regular skin exams.
