Moles is a generic term for what we dermatologists typically refer to as "nevi" , collections of nevus cells. Usually these growths are benign but certain irregular nevi can be atypical or even cancerous.

Mole : Moles are under genetic influences and may develop anywhere on the body including the scalp, face, body , etc. More moles tend to develop overtime. See a dermatologist for any changing moles.

Genes and Sun: Some moles appear to genetic factors due to family history. These appear usually in early childhood or in the first few decades of life. Sun also can increase the number of moles by altering dna in the melanocytes in the skin to start a new mole. Using sunscreen and wearing a hat and staying out of the sun can help minimize the size and number of moles a person gets.
