Our skin is the largest organ, which shields the internal organs from any physical harm. Skin moles, also known as nevi, are mostly skin lesions. It differs from the natural shade and can vary from black to brown depending on the hair color and type of skin. They can be found on the skin or the mucous membrane. Moles usually appear alone, or in groups.<\/p>\n

It may be round, oval, or irregular and may be of varying size and color. Most moles are benign, but they can be potential precursors to skin cancer.
