Mole and Nevi Evaluation in Regina, Canada

What Is Melasma?

Moles and nevi are pigmented skin growths that can appear anywhere on the body. While most moles are harmless, changes in size, shape, or color may indicate a need for medical evaluation. Some moles are present from birth, while others develop over time due to sun exposure or genetic factors. Although many people consider moles to be cosmetic concerns, certain types may require monitoring or removal for aesthetic or medical reasons.

Genetics: Family history plays a role in how many moles a person develops.
Sun Exposure: UV radiation can trigger the formation of new moles or darken existing ones.
Hormonal Changes: Puberty, pregnancy, and aging can alter mole size and color.
Skin Cell Overgrowth: Moles form when pigment-producing cells cluster together.
Age-Related Factors: Some moles may fade over time, while others become more noticeable.
Skin Trauma: Repeated irritation or injury to the skin can contribute to mole formation.
