A famous dermatologist told how dangerous moles are

1

Some moles on the body are harmful. A dermatologist told about the danger caused by trauma to these formations. They should be protected, especially those that have arisen during life.

Professor Polotebnov A. G., an authoritative representative of the domestic school of dermatologists, expressed his opinion. The greatest danger is posed by birthmarks that appear on the body over the years. In contrast, congenital formations are not dangerous, they cause problems extremely rarely. Nevi can be injured by mechanical impact on them. The risk group includes people whose moles predominate on exposed parts of the body, including the face, neck and chest. Birthmarks should be protected from damage, otherwise there is a risk of deterioration of health. When exposed to the sun for a long time, nevi should not be covered with a plaster to avoid the greenhouse effect.

Polotebnov noted that if moles cause inconvenience or a person's well-being worsens after unintentional mechanical trauma to the nevus, one should immediately consult a dermatologist.
