Asked in Skin Care, Genetics, Public Health and Safety
Why does the mole occur in the body?
Moles occur when cells in the skin grow in a cluster instead
of being spread throughout the skin. These cells are called
melanocytes, and they make the pigment that gives skin its natural
color. Moles may darken after exposure to the sun.
A few of these moles, called congenital melanonaevi, are
usually present at birth. But most develop spontaneously or are
caused by exposure to sunlight and tend to appear on those areas of
the skin that catch the most sunlight. Most of these moles appear
during the first 20 years of life, although they may continue to
develop into the 30s and 40s

You get moles by how the melanin in your skin is transported

be cancerous but moles can disappear as you age. There is no known
reason as to why moles are formed or their purpose.
