Is this what you mean?
Moles can be round, oval, flat, or raised. They can occur singly or in clusters on any part of the body. Most moles are brown, but colors can range from pinkish flesh tones to yellow, dark blue, or black.
Everyone has at least a few moles. They generally appear by the time a person is 20 and look, at first, like freckles. A mole's color and shape don't usually change. Changes in hormone levels that occur during puberty and pregnancy can make moles larger and darker. New moles may also appear during this period.

"What is a mole?
- A mole (or melanocytic naevus) is an abnormal collection of pigment cells present within the skin. These cells are known as melanocytes. Moles are extremely common. Most people are born with a few moles and develop others during their lives.
Keep an eye on your moles. Go and see the doctor if they begin to itch, increase in size or change colour.
What causes moles?
- Most moles are simply the result of a harmless proliferation of the pigment cells within the deeper layer of the skin. 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. However, the majority disappear with age.
Why are moles a concern?
- The main worry with moles is that a small number may go on to develop a condition called malignant melanoma. This form of skin cancer, which can be fatal, is best spotted early and treated with surgical excision (ie it is cut out of the skin)."
