Moles are growths on the skin that can appear anywhere on the skin, alone or in groups and are usually brown or black. These can occur when cells in the skin grow in a cluster instead of being spread throughout the skin. These cells are called melanocytes and make the pigment that gives skin its natural colour.

Moles in children are common and might darken after exposure to the sun and during the teen years. As your child grows, the moles will naturally get bigger and they might develop melanoma, a type of skin cancer which is rare. If diagnosed early, it is treatable. Here are some of the signs to check your child’s mole.
