Skin changes are natural and expected with age. Wrinkles, fine lines, drooping skin, and dryness are common age-related problems. These objections are inevitable. Sun exposure accelerates skin ageing, which can lead to new moles. Australian adults often have 10–40 moles. Should you naturally get more moles as you age?

What is A mole?

On skin, moles are spots. Elevated or flat, large or little, oval or circular, mottled or evenly coloured, or the opposite. Melanocytes give them their tan, pink, brown, or black colour. They can appear anywhere on the skin. The cause of moles is uncertain, however most people have at least a few.

One in 100 babies have a mole. Medically, these moles are congenital. Moles can appear at any age, although other types are more likely to develop in the first 20 years. Mole development can happen suddenly or gradually.

When Do Moles First Appear?

About 1% of infants are born with a mole, and most appear before 25. If you have fair skin, new moles may appear more often. Additionally, moles can be inherited. New moles may form as we age, especially if we spend a lot of time in the sun. Even though not all new spots beyond 25 are malignant, skin changes should be monitored. Moles may grow hairs and last a long period.

Age Spots vs. Moles: What’s the Difference?

You may have heard of “age spot” or “liver spot,” but “solar lentigines” are the technical nomenclature for these disorders. Like moles, they are caused by extended sun exposure, but they seem to occur more often with age. The fact that moles are elevated and age spots are flat is one of the main differences. Moles can form anywhere on the body, but age spots are most common on sun-exposed areas including the face, hands, and arms.

Key Signs to Watch For:

We urge periodic skin and mole exams for anyone with skin concerns, especially for odd-looking moles. Rapid changes like shape and size, fuzzy edges, itching, or bleeding indicate that you should consult a doctor. Since melanoma can develop quickly, you should have your mole checked right away.

Please ask your child’s dermatologist or primary care physician to examine their moles during routine appointments, and also supervise them yourself.

Can Moles Grow Back After Removal?

They may eventually produce a new mole. Additionally, those with a hereditary predisposition to moles may develop more moles in various skin areas throughout their lives.
