Brief Answer:
Kindly send me image of that mole.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to health care magic,
I have read the query and understand your concern.
You seem to be having melanocytic naevus or mole over your body but the looking at the mole will confirm it,so kindly send me the picture of that mole.
Here,I would like to tell you that these moles are absolutely normal.
It is just that some people are predisposed to develop many of these but these are completely harmless skin lesions and are also called 'beauty spots'.
These lesion should be a cause of concern only if there is a sudden increase in the size or if there is development of irregular border or irregular pigmentation.
In these conditions only,medical examination could be required otherwise it is completely normal to have a small black or dark lesion (mole) over the body.
In case it becomes bothersome, then you can get it removed by a dermatologist.
Hope this answers will be helpful.
Kindly get back to me with clinical picture for further clarification.
Regards,
Dr.SandipKabra
