What type of moles are there?

Moles are by definition, benign (noncancerous) growths. They occur in babies, children & adults. The classification is complex. Most moles have an extremely low chance of turning into skin cancer. A simple classification is:

Junctional & compound naevi- most common moles
Intradermal naevi- presents as skin-coloured moles
Dysplastic moles- abnormal moles with a potential for malignant change
Congenital melanocytic nevus- moles since birth
Blue nevus- deep blue moles, frequently confused with melanoma
Collision naevi- characteristics of two or more skin lesions

关键点

Australia has the highest incidence of melanoma in the world

Queensland has the highest incidence of melanoma in Australia

Moles will increase in size & number until your mid 30s

A sudden change in shape, colour, border, or size may point toward malignant change

Early detection of melanoma increases survival rate

What are my risks of cancer

If I have a lot of moles?

It’s all about numbers, probability & genetics.

A large number of moles can act as a marker for developing melanoma at each mole has a chance of malignant change. Other factors that come into play include:

Race & ethnicity. Fair skin types have increased incidence of skin cancer
Genetics: a family history of skin cancer increases your odds of developing both melanoma & non-melanoma skin cancer.
Sun exposure & UV radiation, including sunburn increases the odds.
Immune suppression increases both melanoma & NMSC rate.

Mole monitoring

And what is the ABCD rule?

The ABCD rule is a guide to early detection of melanoma based upon probability & not possibility. It stands for:

Asymmetry – the mirror image of one half is different from the other.
Border changes – the edges are often ragged or irregular in outline; the pigment may spread into the surrounding skin, blurring the outline of the mole.
Colour – the colour is uneven, consisting of many shades of black, brown, & possibly even red, pink & blue.
Diameter – increase in the size of the mole, with a diameter of 6 mm or more.

This rule will not pick out every single melanoma, however 90% of cases follow this pattern.
