Particular attention should be paid to those pigmented formations that appeared on the skin during life.
As specialist Olga Mashkova noted, it is precisely these moles that are considered more dangerous.
The oncologist spoke about this during an interview for the Izvestia publication.
According to the doctor, moles that a person has had since birth can most often be called harmless.
Mashkova warned that if pain appears in the area of moles or inflammation is observed, then this indicates danger.
If the growths change color and shape, this is a clear sign that you need to go for an examination.
In addition, if a situation occurs in which a mole is injured, it must be treated and then immediately contact a specialist.
Such moles can be carcinogenic, there is a high risk of the presence of cancer cells at the site of damage.
