Will a mole become darker and bigger after exposing it to sunlight? also will going out dorr and touch sunpight produce more mole?

Mole: It depends on the mole. You certainly can get more sun damage and may get lesions caused by the sun the more you are out in the sun. That is why we recommend that you use sunscreen liberally and often when outdoors. Remember that cloudy days may even be worse for sun exposure,
