All moles do not look alike. You may also have similar moles in\ndifferent shapes, sizes, and colours. A common mole can be a flat, rough spot,\nor a smooth spot with a poorly defined border. It can also have raised but\nwell-defined or flat features with irregular edges. Some of the common moles\nare usually smaller than 5 mm in width, which is about the size of a pencil\neraser. Most common moles have the below-mentioned features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2794 Oval or round<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2794 Even coloured<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2794 Flat <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2794 Constant appearance over time<\/p>\n\n\n\n Common\nmoles usually appear in areas highly exposed to the sun. But sometimes, you may\nfind them anywhere on your body, including the toes, scalp, and even under the\nnails. Common moles may grow hair, especially if they are on your arm or leg.\nCommon moles are brown or tan, but sometimes they can also be black, pink, skin\ntone, blue and even colourless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They may also remain the same, fade away, or change slowly over time. For that reason, it is best to keep a track of their appearance and ensure to avoid any problematic concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Read:- Skincare Tips: How to Get Rid of Pigmentation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What\nare the signs of problematic moles?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While\nmost common moles are unproblematic, sometimes they can become unhealthy.
