Red Moles
Moles of any color, size, or shape should be monitored and checked regularly for abnormalities. Moles can come in shades of black, red, brown, pink, tan, dark brown and even blue. Some moles are discovered at birth and these are called congenital moles. These types of moles present a rather high risk of cancerous cells and melanoma. Most people have a mole, spot, or freckle in their lifetime and they are all caused by the same reason. Moles are caused by the collaboration of pigment cells. Usually the pigment cells spread throughout the body and do not cluster. When they do cluster a growth begins and a mole is created.
Moles come in all shapes and sizes, and they may develop or alter at times depending on exposure to the sun, age, or life experiences such as pregnancy. Doctors usually suggest that moles should be removed if they present any threat to the patient, and there are a variety of ways, both natural and surgical. Surgical procedures include the use of electricity, liquid nitrogen, and laser, and more than often a scalpel is used and stitches are used to secure the wound. Natural remedies for moles can be applied and popular home remedies including apple cider vinegar, garlic, onion juice, sour apple juice, dandelions and even lemon juice can be used. Doctors recommend the removal of moles when they pose a threat to the individual’s all around health.
There are also moles that come in a reddish colour. Many people see this as a cause for concern and rush to their doctor or dermatologist to find out if their mole is cancerous. Are red moles dangerous? Yes they can be if they are not recognized and examined. Red moles are at risk of malignant melanoma which is a terminal skin cancer. This type of cancer affects thousands and millions of people around the world. Usually red moles on skin have a tiny growth that lies underneath the skin layer. Red body moles can be irritable to the touch and may even bleed at times if scratched and inflammation occurs. If an individual is noticing these symptoms they should be examined by a dermatologist, or their general health practitioner. Many people have brown, pink, or tan moles and red moles are usually quite rare. Red moles stick out on a person’s skin and are easily detectable. They cause a concern for skin cancer and also blemish the skin making the skin look undesirable.
Red moles on the skin can develop into cancerous melanoma especially if they are exposed to UV rays and the sun for longer periods of time. People with red body moles should make sure they use a lot of sun screen with an intense SPF. It is important to know that the most dangerous time to be out in the sun is late morning until mid-afternoon. The next step is to remove the red moles to prevent any skin cancer from forming. People that have a family history of moles and skin conditions are susceptible to developing skin cancer. Skin cancer is passed down through family genes and this needs to be known before treatment. When visiting the dermatologist or health practitioner, it is important to disclose all family history details, previous medical conditions, and anything that is currently being experienced. The doctor or dermatologist will then be able to determine the next step in the red mole removal process.
