How can we grow new moles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sunlight: Exposure can stimulate the growth of the types of cells, melanocytes, that cause moles. If any of your new moles looks different from the others ("ugly duckling sign") be sure your physician knows about it and takes special care in evaluating it.
