A mole is a benign formation that appears on the skin. Its key feature is pronounced pigmentation against the general background of the skin.

These pigments begin to appear at an early age. Children and adults have them. On the one hand, their presence does not cause any concern. On the other hand, moles from a benign formation can “grow” into a malignant one. Therefore, at the first signs of changes and severe symptoms, you should consult a specialist.

In professional medicine, a mole has another name - nevus. In general, this is not a strict medical concept; the word is used to unite various neoplasms that differ in nature.

Symptoms and signs of moles in adults

In medical practice, sometimes dangerous moles come across that need to be quickly removed. If this is not done, the disease will begin to progress, which can lead to quite unpleasant consequences. Therefore, it is extremely important to monitor the condition of pigmentation on the skin. Especially if you have large moles on your body or those that have begun to grow and visually change.

The symptoms of “bad” moles are as follows:

• moles of a different shape appear, symmetry is lost, the neoplasm grows in one direction;
• the edges become “torn”;
• Over time, the color changes and becomes uneven. This is the first sign that malignant moles are appearing on the body;
• quick resizing;
• change in texture - smooth moles become rough and vice versa;
• if there are hairs on the surface, their sudden loss should cause a person to worry;
• peeling, itching and burning in the place where the mole is.

Do you have any suspicious moles?

Only a doctor can accurately diagnose the disease. Don't delay your consultation - call

Mole on the labia: prognosis

The appearance of a mole in an intimate place and if the nevus is handled correctly, the development of complications is unlikely.

When melanoma develops, the outcome of the disease is significantly influenced by timely diagnosis and prompt treatment.

Survival is influenced by factors such as tumor depth and the number of layers affected.

If the penetration of melanoma is shallow, then treatment can have a better effect than in the presence of deep damage and the spread of pathological cells with blood throughout the body.

Causes

Why do moles appear on the skin? Every experienced mole doctor will say that there are several reasons for their appearance on the body:

• ultraviolet radiation;
• traumatic damage to the epidermis;
• systematic violation of the integrity of the skin;
• negative influence of radioactive background;
• Constant consumption of unhealthy foods, smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages. Because of this, moles on the body constantly grow;
• problems in the functioning of the endocrine system, changes in hormonal levels;
• hereditary predisposition.

Types of pigmented nevi on the labia

Moles in the genital area can be congenital or acquired.

The sizes of nevi range from small neoplasms to large ones; the shape also varies - from dotted to warty.

The color of the mole ranges from pale pink to black.

The depth of penetration into the skin also varies.

✓ Hanging moles on the labia

Papillomas have this form - neoplasms that are small in size and flesh-colored or pale pink in color.

Growing rapidly, the new growth becomes similar to a cauliflower inflorescence.

The reason for the formation of papilloma is HPV infection through unprotected sex or through domestic means, ignoring the rules of personal hygiene.

Among the main reasons for the appearance of hanging tumors on the genitals:

• imbalance of hormones in the body
• penetration of human papillomavirus infection into the body
• weakening of the body's immune defense
• pathology of the endocrine system
• promiscuous sexual intercourse without the use of protection against STIs
• insufficient intake of vitamins and minerals into the body
• chronic stress and anxiety

Hanging growths can provoke the development of an oncological process.

The presence of such neoplasms on the labia can lead to injury with subsequent bleeding, discomfort during sexual intercourse, and interfere with normal childbirth.

Very often, papillomatosis leads to depression and psychosis, developing against the background of psychological discomfort.

If hanging “moles” appear in the intimate area, you must consult a doctor to undergo diagnosis and treatment.

✓ Black moles

Black nevi not only on the labia, but also on other parts of the body are very rare.

If such a neoplasm appears, it requires special attention.

Black moles usually appear in childhood.

They have a uniform color and round shape.

With the onset of puberty, nevi may acquire a darker shade and larger sizes.

Dark moles that form on the labia can be of the following types:

1. Melanoform nevus . It is a mole with a smooth or dome-shaped surface, having distinct edges. The size of the formation is no more than 5 mm, the shape is round or oval. Nevus does not pose a danger to its owner in terms of degeneration.
2. Dysplastic . The size of the neoplasm is more than 0.5 centimeters. The mole does not have clear outlines and is asymmetrical. The surface of the neoplasm is heterogeneously colored and slightly swollen in the central part. Such nevi require observation, as they tend to become malignant.
3. Melanoma. This is a malignant form of nevus. At the beginning of development it looks like a birthmark, which quickly becomes malignant. The main signs of degeneration into cancer:
   fast growth
4. lack of symmetry
5. interspersed with several shades
6. hurts
7. bleeding

The presence of black moles on the body does not pose a danger to a person until they begin to change.

If characteristic symptoms of degeneration appear, do not hesitate to contact a specialist.

✓ Hemangioma or red mole

Red moles are called hemangiomas.

Their formation on the body, including the labia, is associated with disruption of the vascular system.

They can occur during periods of changes in hormonal balance in the body.

Externally, it is a small convex formation, filled with blood, which gives it a red color.

✓ Congenital moles

The formation of a nevus occurs in the mother’s womb, and the neoplasm begins to appear in the first year of the baby’s life.

Moles on the labia can be small or large.

Neoplasms require observation, as they can develop into melanoma.

✓ Flat pigment spots

Such neoplasms are usually safe, but like all moles, they require observation.

If the nevus begins to increase in size, changes color, peeling and any discomfort appear in this part of the body, you need to visit a specialist to make sure that it has not degenerated.

Self-removal of tumors, both on the labia majora and labia minora, is very dangerous and can cause serious consequences.

When to see a doctor

There are the following types of moles:

• pigmented;
• vascular.

Usually, red moles on the body are harmless, but only if they have not changed color. If you find a mole, what should you do in this case? First, we advise you to carefully examine it. You need to go to the clinic with a mole if you have:

• bleeding or peeling;
• itching;
• dark areola or rim;
• rapid increase in size;
• sudden color change.

Why moles appear

The appearance of a nevus can be caused by various reasons, including:

• the presence of a genetic predisposition - a mole can form during the development of the fetus in the womb
• changes in the hormonal status of the body - imbalance of hormones in the female body during puberty, during pregnancy, when taking oral contraceptives
• ultraviolet irradiation - under the influence of ultraviolet rays on the body, melanin begins to be produced in the skin, which leads to the formation of moles on the body or increased growth of those that already exist
• pathological conditions of the liver or pancreas

Moles on the genitals should be distinguished from warts and condylomas, the appearance of which is caused by papillomavirus (HPV).

Nevi located on the labia can be injured during sexual intercourse, which can provoke their malignancy.

Most often, moles are benign in nature, but when exposed to damaging factors they can degenerate into melanoma.

If the color, shape or size of the nevus changes, as well as if a crack appears, pain, signs of inflammation or bleeding of the tumor, you should contact an oncologist.

The doctor will remove the mole followed by a histological examination for the presence of cancer cells.

From lyrics to medicine

How aesthetically pleasing and attractive this phenomenon is is an entirely subjective opinion. But there is an important aspect from the field of medicine that you should definitely know about.

• The moles that a woman is endowed with by nature are congenital and are characterized by extremely slow growth, which stops completely during the process of sexual changes in girls. Usually, they are practically not prone to degeneration into cancerous formations.

  
  Symptoms of moles on the genitals are very minor, do not bother and cause discomfort

• Acquired ones have a clear tendency to develop oncology and occur when wearing low-quality underwear and using low-quality hygiene products. Somewhat less often, they can appear in the intimate area as a result of the body’s atopic reaction to care products - soap, shampoos, creams and pads.

The symptoms of moles on the genitals are very minor, do not bother and cause discomfort. They are usually discovered when visiting a doctor. Signs indicating degeneration of pigment formations are as follows:

1. There is an increase in size.
2. Manifestations of discomfort, pain, burning and itching in the area of ​​growths.
3. Redness or darkening, the appearance of roughness, bumps, peeling, and a blurred outline appear.
4. The upper covers of the nevus bleed, become moist and macerated.

Medicines and treatment methods are chosen exclusively by the attending physician, after a diagnosis as part of a consultation of a gynecologist, oncologist, and allergist. The choice of treatment procedures is quite large - classic topical medications based on potent ingredients, herbs or natural bases. Cryotherapy, laser beam or directed electrical flow are widely used. The main thing is to never treat yourself.

Some information about moles

All inhabitants of the globe, without exception, have moles - birthmarks. A person is born with moles and acquires them at any age. The majority of moles appear in humans for the first time at 2-3 months of age. The active period for the appearance of new moles is also adolescence in adolescents and the period of waiting for a child in women. Birthmarks can also transform and change during a person’s life.

According to medical terminology, moles are pigmented nevi, which are classified as skin defects that can be congenital or acquired. Such a nevus consists of cells of the epidermis, or dermis, and melanocytes (cells with pigment melanin).

Not all moles are identical: there are normal birthmarks, benign ones, and there are pathological ones, which pose a significant danger to human health and life itself.

Should I delete

The operation helps to eliminate hanging, convex defects in the intimate area, when the large size of the pigmented area is determined. Removal is performed with a scalpel. The specialist uses an incision to capture healthy skin, the surface layer of cells. The nevus is removed and the wound is sutured using a cosmetic suture. Histology examines the removed tissue.

The method helps to remove the defect in one session so that it does not degenerate into a tumor.

You need to remove a mole when:

• dimensional change exceeded;
• when the formation is in the vagina;
• there is a suspicion of cancer;
• the spot is divided into several parts;
• injury to the defect often occurs;
• there are cosmetic problems.

Inflammatory diseases, infections, and genital herpes are contraindications to surgery.

After surgery, the following measures are necessary:

1. Treat the skin with peroxide.
2. Apply an antibiotic to the wound and secure with a bandage.
3. Perform actions until healing.

If the patient does not follow the rules, infection, complications of the disease, and pigment spots are possible.

Disadvantages of the surgical method: duration of rehabilitation, risk of scars, exposure to the sun is contraindicated.

You can replace the operation with the following methods:

An effective and painless method of removal is laser.

Some experts believe that a mole can be cured without radical methods. Medicines act more slowly, but help achieve the effect:

• relieve inflammation;
• skin changes occur;
• eliminate germs;
• there is a healing effect;
• normalizes the relief of the epidermis.

Popular medical remedies for eliminating nevi:

Use medications as recommended by a doctor. The dermatologist will prescribe effective medications.

Diagnosis of moles

To make a diagnosis, the ICD10 classification is used.

Moles, regardless of their size and location, are prone to degeneration and therefore require observation.

The diagnosis is based on collecting anamnesis, patient complaints and examination data.

The doctor determines how long ago the nevus formed, the presence of changes, and also finds out whether the neoplasms have been diagnosed or treated.

Basic methods for studying neoplasms:

1. Oncocytology . If the nevus is damaged or bleeding, then biomaterial is taken from its surface and subjected to microscopic analysis. The technique allows you to determine the type of mole and the possibility of its degeneration into melanoma.
2. Biopsy and histology. A piece of pathological tissue is taken for examination. The analysis makes it possible to detect malignant cells at the very beginning of tissue degeneration. The technique is traumatic, which can serve as the beginning of malignancy of the mole.
3. Computer diagnostics. The method allows you to compare the tumor with samples and make a correct diagnosis, on the basis of which treatment will be prescribed.
4. Analysis for tumor markers. For the study, blood is drawn and protein C 100 and other tumor markers of melanoma are determined in the laboratory. Based on the results obtained, additional studies may be prescribed.
5. Dermatoscopy. A special oil composition is applied to the nevus, after which a specialist examines the mole using a special device (dermatoscope). The integrity of the skin is not compromised during dermatoscopy, and the method itself is quite accurate. The study allows us to establish the structure of the neoplasm and the state of the dermal layers.

Where to remove a mole on the labia

Often women do not know which doctor monitors the condition of moles, as well as where to go to get examined and, if necessary, remove a mole in an intimate place.

• You can go to your local clinic and make an appointment with a dermatologist, who will conduct a diagnosis and take biomaterial for examination.
• If a woman is found to have condylomas on the labia majora and minora, a gynecologist or venereologist will treat the patient and remove the growths.
• In the event that the results show the degeneration of a mole, you will have to contact an oncologist to begin treatment without delay.

Removing moles on the labia

The results of the study will determine what treatment the doctor chooses.

The main method of therapy, if there is a possibility of injury to the nevus or the neoplasm causes inconvenience, is excision.

To remove a mole, the doctor chooses one of the most suitable methods:

1. Cryodestruction. The technique is based on exposing pathological tissue to low temperatures. The nevus is treated with liquid nitrogen, which promotes its freezing and subsequent death. After the mole falls off, healthy tissue forms in its place. The main advantage of this technique is that scars never remain at the site of removed tumors. When removing a nevus, there is no need for anesthesia, and no damage to healthy tissue occurs.
2. Electrocoagulation. Excision of the tumor is carried out under the influence of electric current. Using an electrode with a loop at the end, the growth is cauterized. The procedure is quite painful, so before removing the mole, the area of ​​the skin is first numbed. The advantage of the procedure is that it is bloodless, but only small nevi can be removed.

1. Laser therapy. Excision of tumors is carried out using a laser beam. The method is applied to any part of the body. The laser is not used to treat large formations. After removal of tumors, complications may occur in the form of scar formation.
2. Radio wave therapy . A nevus is removed using a radio wave. The method is one of the most common, since after removing the tumors, the affected area of ​​the skin heals quickly.
3. If there are large moles, removal is possible only with the use of a scalpel. After excision of the tumor, the doctor applies stitches. The disadvantage of the procedure is the formation of a postoperative scar. The operation requires anesthesia.

What does a birthmark on private parts mean?

Surprisingly, since ancient times people have tried to determine exactly how the presence of a particular nevus affects the character and fate of a person. And during such searches, real coincidences were found, which allowed the development of a whole branch of astrology - morphoscopy (this is the name of the science that deals with deciphering the meaning of moles on the surface of the body).

Meaning for a man

On the pubic area

There is a theory that the owners of such a mark of fate are characterized by:

• Great sexuality. Guys with a mole on their pubic area just attract girls. There are many women in their lives, but such passion does not make them womanizers, but rather allows them to be “gambling hunters.”
• A craving for unapproachable women who need to be conquered.
• The desire to win and achieve success everywhere. And they succeed; men with such a nevus are most often successful in their careers, make excellent money and achieve a good financial position.
• Good nature, openness of emotions, independence and activity.
• Love for relaxation with like-minded people, entertainment and thrills.

On the dick

According to astrologers, the presence of a mole on the penis is a sure sign of high potency and good libido. A man with a similar mark is capable of:

• It is good to understand female psychology and clearly know what exactly a partner needs to be happy.
• Finding the right key to a woman's heart.

The presence of a mole on the head of the penis warns that a man is not at all deprived of the love and attention of women.

He cannot imagine his life without a beautiful lady and is ready to lay his own feelings at her feet.
