Mole Types

Moles are small dark brown spots that appear on the skin. The different types of moles are benign moles, dysplastic nevi, and congenital nevi. Benign moles are normal moles. Dysplastic nevi are called atypical ones, and they appear with edges. They have a tendency to transform into skin cancer in the future. Congenital nevi are moles that are developed since birth.
