Moles are usually dark blemishes on the skin which may be slightly raised in comparison to the surrounding area. They are caused due to an abnormal concentration of the pigment cells under the skin. Some people are born with moles and some appear and disappear on their own spontaneously and are aggravated by prolonged exposure to sunlight. Moles may be the same color of the skin or red, brown or black. Most moles are painless and absolutely harmless, but in rare cases, the mole may become cancerous. If the mole is itchy or painful and appears to be increasing in size or darkening, consulting a dermatologist is advised before trying a home remedy.
