Moles occur when cells, called melanocytes, grow clustered together rather than being spread throughout the skin. Melanocytes make the pigment that gives skin its natural colour.One of the most common causes of skin moles is UV light; skin with greater exposure to the sun tends to have more moles, this exposure may also cause them to darken in appearance as the melanin reacts with the light. Exposure during childhood years plays a particularly large role in the number of moles person may have. However, moles may also occur in sun-protected areas like the palms, soles, and genitals.

Experts have also identified a hormonal link with the appearance and changes in moles. Moles frequently develop in the teenage years, they may get darker during pregnancy and they can fade away completely from around the age of 50. Finally studies have established the genetic inheritability of moles; the genes we inherit from our parents is a mafor factor in determining the number of moles on the body.
