Intradermal<unk>  (dermatoscopic image) According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the most common types of moles are skin tags, raised moles and flat moles. Benign moles are usually brown, tan, pink or black (especially on dark-colored skin). They are circular or oval and are usually small (commonly between 1–3 mm), though some can be larger than the size of a typical pencil eraser (>5 mm). Some moles produce dark, coarse hair. Common mole hair removal procedures include plucking, cosmetic waxing, electrolysis, threading and cauterization. Aging Moles tend to appear during early childhood and during the first 30 years of life. They may change slowly, becoming raised, changing color or gradually fading. Most people have between 30 and 40 moles, but some have as many as 600. The number of moles a person has was found to have a correlation with telomere length. However, the relation between telomeres and aging remains uncertain. Complications The American Academy of Dermatology says that the vast majority of moles are benign. Data on the chances of transformation from<unk>  to melanoma is controversial, but it appears that about 10% of malignant melanomas have a precursor lesion, of which about 10% are<unk>  nevi. Therefore, it appears that malignant melanoma quite seldom (1% of cases) has a<unk>  as a precursor.
