Not necessarily.

Like most tumors, skin cancer has better chances of healing when it is diagnosed early. And the self-examination of moles and spots can be great allies to identify the early signs of the different types of disease - including the more serious skin cancer, melanoma.

Who has many spots should have the habit of attending the dermatologist - who not only knows how to say better than pints should be removed according to their appearance as you can request a biopsy to arrive at a diagnosis beyond any doubt.

If you only have light, small, regular spots, continue to pay attention to new ones that come up. And it's good to remember that these tips do not replace frequent check-ups with a specialist for diagnosis - or the use of sunscreen for prevention.

Moles are small,flesh coloured black/brown spots on the skin.Most moles appear at the age of 30.

Irregular enlargement of moles can be skin cancer or development of skin cancer.

Moles come as a result of hereditary genes we acquire from our parents  or amount of exposure to sunlight especially during our childhood stages.

Precautions measures: avoid direct contact with sunlight and also,in case of irregular or changing moles, a dermatologist should be consulted immediately.

Minor surgery is the only effective way to remove the moles.

As people age, their risk of developing 'melanoma' rises. The average age of those who are diagnosed with it is 65. But then,  it can occur in people as young as 30.

There is no definite answer to this question as the presence of black moles does not necessarily indicate cancer. However, it is important to be aware of any changes in moles, including the appearance of new ones, as well as any changes in size, shape, or color. If you notice any changes, you should speak with a doctor or dermatologist for further evaluation.

Not all black moles are a sign of cancer, but it's important to keep an eye on any changes in color, shape, or size. If a mole becomes larger, irregular, or develops additional symptoms, it may be a sign of skin cancer and should be checked by a doctor. Regular skin checks and early detection are key to preventing and treating skin cancer.

The science of cancerous cell growth and regression is still being studied by scientists. However, while black moles may seem to be a result of cancer, it is best not to concerned yourself with this potential issue right away as it may only be a matter of time before the black moles disappear. This is because, as more research is conducted on black moles, it will be determined that they are a result of cancer and therefore, should not be worried about.

Even though moles are generally benign, it's important to keep an eye out for any changes in their texture, colour, size, or shape. Black moles by themselves don't always mean cancer, but some traits should be taken seriously:

Asymmetry: When the two halves of a mole don't match.

Border irregularity: Sharp, uneven, or hazy borders may be cause for concern.

Colour Changes: Any changes in colour should be assessed, particularly if a mole gets darker.

Diameter: Moles greater than 6mm, or roughly the size of an eraser from a pencil, might be cause for concern.

Changing: Any modifications over time, like expansion or changing characteristics, need to be looked at.

It's important to self-examine your moles on a regular basis and see a dermatologist if you have any concerns or notice any unusual changes.
