Molluscum contagiosum
Moles, also known as nevi (singular: nevus), are common skin growths that develop when pigment cells (melanocytes) grow in clusters rather than being spread evenly throughout the skin. They can appear anywhere on the body and vary in size, shape, and color. Most moles are harmless, but some may develop into skin cancer, particularly if they undergo changes in size, shape, or color.
