Moles becoming raised with age

Is it normal for moles to become raised with age? Why does this happen?

Hi, i have noticed several of my moles have become more raised the older I get, they are all fine though as I get them checked regularly.

Re: Moles becoming raised with age

Thank you very much for your question,

yes it is quite normal that moles become raised with age. We do not really understand why it happens. It is a good die to continue to monitor all your moles and check that they are symmetrical in colour, shape and outline.

I hope this is helpful.
With Best Wishes,
