Are moles skin cancer?

I have several moles on my skin, and I often hear discussions about skin cancer. I'm worried if moles themselves are skin cancer, or if only certain types are problematic.

I had a mole on my back that started itching and bleeding, so I got it biopsied. It turned out to be atypical but not cancer. My advice is to monitor your moles yearly; if they don't change size or color, they are harmless.

No, almost all moles are completely normal and safe. Only a rare type of changing mole can be cancerous, so get it checked if you are worried.

Please keep your mind peaceful and do not let fear take over. Our bodies have many natural markings like moles, which are mostly benign. Just take care of your health, stay positive, and consult a doctor if you feel any discomfort.

Most moles are just benign skin growths, but with hormonal changes like in PCOS, skin tags and spots can sometimes appear. We shouldn't self-diagnose skin cancer. It is always safest to let a professional dermatologist examine any suspicious spot.

Hamare yahan toh ise til kehte hain aur ise bhagya shali mante hain. Moles cancer nahi hote bhaiya, par agar kisi til mein dard ho ya uska rang badal jaye, toh shehar ke doctor ko dikha lena chahiye.
