Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My wife is 27 years old. She is developing a lot of moles on her body. Every other month few adds to her hand or face or other part of body. Is it something of concern which needs any treatment ?

Answered by Dr. Shanza Ikram

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your case.

There are many different types of moles. First of all, you need to understand that not all moles require evaluation as many of them are benign or you can say innocent. Moles that your wife is having are on your face and hands and these are sun-exposed sites and sunlight produces them or exacerbates them. Moreover, when there is no sun exposure, indoor lights like tube lights also cause them. So u need to apply sunblock two to three times a day for two months at least. Even when your wife stays at home.

In addition to this, many hormonal changes like pregnancy and iron deficiency also lead to them. Increase in vitamin C intake as well. This is an orange season. So, it increases the chances. For further evaluation please send a picture as well and get your CBC (complete blood count) done.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
