What is the cause of mole pain

Everyone should know what moles are. Many people have moles on their faces or bodies. In fact, moles are also called pigmented nevi, which are a benign tumor of the skin. However, everyone must be very scared when they hear the word tumor. In particular, some people’s moles have pain, so don’t be too nervous. If your moles have abnormal symptoms, such as pain, bleeding, or skin lesions around the moles, then it is very likely to be malignant and you should go to the hospital for examination in time. However, we must remind everyone not to remove moles blindly, especially using methods such as laser and drugs, because even if the moles appear to be completely removed, they will actually grow again. If there is a possibility of malignant transformation, it cannot be eradicated.

What causes mole pain?

Moles are medically called "pigmented nevi". They are benign tumors of the skin that are differentiated from nerve cells. People of different ages and genders may develop moles. For moles on the back of the neck, considering that they may become malignant due to friction, it is best to see a dermatologist to decide whether surgery is needed. Except for moles in special parts of the body, moles in other parts of the body are generally divided into intradermal nevus, junctional nevus, and mixed nevus. Intradermal nevus is more common, usually protruding from the surface of the skin, relatively large and round, mostly black, and may also have hair on it. This type of nevus is a safe nevus and generally does not require treatment. Junctional nevus usually appears at the junction of the epidermis and dermis. It does not feel higher than the skin surface, is generally hairless, and is relatively dark. If this type of mole has damage around it, feels painful, bleeds, or has satellite lesions around it, it indicates that it has become malignant and should be removed promptly.

Classification of moles:

Everyone has more or less "moles" on their bodies. The "moles" here mostly refer to blue moles and pigmented moles.

Blue nevi are more common in women and often occur in childhood. They are prone to occur on the face and extensor surfaces of the limbs, especially the backs of the hands and feet, as well as the waist and buttocks. They are occasionally seen in the conjunctiva, oral cavity, cervix, etc.

Almost everyone has pigmented moles, the only difference is the number. It often occurs in children or adolescence and may appear as macules, papules, warts or nodules and may occur in any part of the body. The color is usually yellow, brown or black, but can also be blue or purple. There are three types:

Blue nevi and pigmented nevi generally do not require treatment. If they affect the appearance of the face, or occur in areas prone to friction such as the palms, armpits, and shoulders, or if they suddenly increase in size, become more pigmented, or become itchy and painful, they should be removed surgically or treated with laser therapy as soon as possible rather than using the "dot" method, i.e., condensation and corrosive drugs, which may prevent the complete elimination of nevus cells.
