When you look at "the mark" on his own body or the face, it is important to understand: what did you deal? Because dermatologists say: "all birthmarks - moles, but not all birthmarks - moles." That is, from birth there is not all the marks.

The next period of "rash" - puberty. But this is not the end - birthmarks can occur in humans and in older age, throughout life. And exactly those spots that appear later, are in need of urgent attention.
Should we be afraid?
So, to determine: a mole all people have. Just someone more of them, and someone - less. And when they do not cause discomfort, they can simply be ignored. However, there are times when these formations are suddenly begin to itch, redden, peel off and so forth. Here it already becomes an occasion to refer to the dermatologist. His task is to determine the origin of the birthmark (benign or malignant it) and assign adequate treatment of. If you start such treatment in time, even in the most unfavorable cases, you can avoid the development of melanoma.

When to worry?
In appearance of moles it is almost always possible to tell whether threatens something they support health. There is a small test by which even a layman would be able to identify the threat. For this enough to hold a straight line (better not imaginary, but very real - such as iodine on cotton a stick or a conventional dim marker (yellow, for example, which will wash off after a first taking of measurements bath).
