Moles, known medically as nevi, are clusters of pigmented cells that often appear as small, dark brown spots on your torso, face, arms and legs. But moles can come in a range of colors and can develop virtually anywhere, including your scalp, armpits, under your nails, and between your fingers and toes.\n\nMost people have between 10 and 40 moles, although the number you have may change throughout life. New moles can appear into mid-adulthood, and because moles last about 50 years, some moles may disappear as you age.\n\nThe great majority of moles are harmless, but in rare cases, moles may become cancerous. Monitoring moles and other pigmented patches is an important step in the diagnosis of skin cancer, especially malignant melanoma. Although not all melanomas develop from pre-existing moles, many begin in or near a mole or other dark spot on the skin.\n\n\nEveryone has moles, sometimes 40 or more. Most people think of a mole as a dark brown spot, but moles have a wide range of appearance. \n\nAt one time, a mole in a certain spot on the cheek of a woman was considered fashionable. Some were even painted on. These were called "beauty marks." However, not all moles are beautiful. They can be raised from the skin and very noticeable, they may contain dark hairs, or they may be dangerous. \n\n\nNormal Mole \n\nMoles can appear anywhere on the skin, alone or in groups. They are usually brown in color and can be various sizes and shapes. The brown color is caused by melanocytes, special cells that produce the pigment melanin. \n\nMoles probably are determined before a person is born. Most appear during the first 20 years of a person's life, although some may not appear until later in life. Sun exposure increases the number of moles. \n\nEach mole has its own growth pattern. At first, moles are flat and tan, pink, brown or black in color, like a freckle. Over time, they usually enlarge and some develop hairs. As the years pass, moles usually change slowly, becoming more raised and lighter in color. Some will not change at all. Most moles will slowly disappear, seeming to fade away. Others will become raised so far from the skin that they may develop a small "stalk" and eventually fall off or are rubbed off. \n\nThis is the typical life cycle of the common mole. These changes occur slowly since the life cycle of the average mole is about 50 years. \n\nMoles may darken, with exposure to the sun. During the teen years, with birth control pills and pregnancy, moles often get darker and larger and new ones may appear. \n\nDifferent Types of Moles\nRecent studies have shown that certain types of moles have a higher-than-average risk of becoming cancerous. Some may develop into a form of skin cancer known as malignant melanoma. Sunburns may increase the risk of melanoma. People with many more moles than average (greater than 100) are also more at risk for melanoma. \n\nMoles are present at birth in about 1 in 100 people. They are called congenital nevi. These moles may be more likely to develop a melanoma than moles which appear after birth. When a congenital nevus is more than eight inches across, it poses the greater risk for developing melanoma. \n\nMoles known as dysplastic nevi or atypical moles are larger than average (usually larger than a pencil eraser) and irregular in shape. They tend to have uneven color with dark brown centers and lighter, sometimes reddish, uneven borders or black dots at edge. These moles often run in families. \n\nPersons with dysplastic nevi may have a greater-than-average chance of developing malignant melanoma. These people should be seen regularly by a dermatologist to check for any changes that might indicate skin cancer. They should also learn to do regular self-examinations, looking for changes in the color, size or shape of their moles or the appearance of new moles. They should also shield their moles from sun exposure using sunscreen and/or clothing. \n\nRecognizing the ea

Nail Patella Syndrome (also called Fong's Disease, Hereditary Onycho-Osteodysplasia ['HOOD'] is characterized by several typical abnormalities of the arms and legs as well as kidney disease and glaucoma. It has been recognized as a hereditary condition for over 100 years and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. That is, the risk of transmission is 50% per pregnancy, irrespective of gender (just like flipping a coin). Approximately 20% of cases are sporadic, being the result of a new mutation. The incidence is approximately 1 in 50,000 and occurs throughout the world in all ethnic groups.\n\nThe below mentioned website should be very useful to you and give you 100% answers to all your queries on the subject.

Trichotillomania.  I am not kidding.  It's an impulse control disorder, it is stress related. I have it too, if you're looking for commiseration.  I started when I was seven and have learned to deal with it.  No, I haven't stopped.  I pluck my eyelashes and eyebrows, and when I was seven I plucked the hair on my head 'till I had a bald spot.  My parents did not seek treatment for me and for years I was convinced I was a very bad kid and I could stop if I really wanted to stop - I eventually learned to just deal with it and am perfectly happy - in fact, engaged.  If you're suffering from trich, search for the trichotillomania website, you'll learn more about it and can join a support group.  Also - if you eat the hair you've plucked, it's called trichophagy, and it can lead to some serious medical problems.  I'm glad I don't do that.

They are called age spots.  Many people develop them on their hands and arms as they get older.  It is a sign of sun damage.  They can be treated by a dermatologist, even removed or lessened with a laser.  If the appearance of them bother you, then look for a dermatologist in your area.  Do not order creams and lotions for them over the tv or internet or from magazines because there are a lot of con artists out there (snake oil salesmen just never seem to go away).  A dermatologist is a professional doctor who has been trained to diagnose and treat disorders with the skin.  Many dermatologists are now moving toward using lasers in their office to treat skin discoloration and varicose veins.  Check the yellow pages for dermatologists and see if they advertise laser treatment.  It might be a little expensive.  A dermatologist can also prescribe a cream or ointment that actually works.  I have included some links below that provide more information.

Albinism (from Latin albus, meaning "white") is a lack of pigmentation in the eyes, skin and hair. Albinism is an inherited condition resulting from the combination of recessive alleles passed from both parents of an individual. This condition is known to affect mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. While the most common term for an individual affected by albinism is "albino", some of them prefer "person with albinism", because "albino" is often used in a derogatory way. A humorous compensation for this was the invention of the word "pigmento" for a normally pigmented person. The gene which results in albinism prevents the body from making the usual amounts of the pigment melanin. Albinism used to be categorised as Tyrosinase positive or negative. In cases of Tyrosinase positive albinism, the enzyme tyrosinase is present but is unable to enter pigment cells to produce melanin. In tyrosinase negative cases, this enzyme is not produced. This classification has been rendered obsolete by recent research.\n\nAbout 1 in 17,000 people have some type of albinism, although up to 1 in 75 are carriers.\n\nThere are many alterations of genes which are proven to be associated with albinism. All alterations, however, lead to an alteration of the melanin (pigment/coloring) production in the body. Melanin helps protect the skin from ultraviolet light coming from the sun (see human skin color for more information). Organisms with albinism lack this protective pigment in their skin, and can burn easily from exposure to the sun as a result. Lack of melanin in the eye also results in problems with vision unrelated to photosensitivity, which are discussed further below.\n\nThere are two main categories of albinism in humans: oculocutaneous and ocular. In ocular albinism, only the eyes lack pigment. In oculocutaneous pigment is missing from the hair, eyes, and skin. People who have ocular albinism have normal skin/hair color and many have normal eye color. People with oculocutaneous albinism can have no pigment to almost normal. Some may even tan.\n\nThe eyes of a person with albinism occasionally appear red due to the underlying blood vessels showing through where there is not enough pigment to cover them. In humans this is rarely the case, as a human eye is quite large and thus produces enough pigment to lend opacity to the eye. However, there are cases in which the eyes appear red or purple, depending on the amount of pigment present.\n\nPeople with albinism are generally as healthy as the rest of their species, with growth and development occurring as normal. Many animals with albinism, however, lose their protective camouflage and are unable to conceal themselves from their predators or prey. The survivability rate of animals with albinism in the wild is usually quite low. The largest problem people with albinism face is social, as the condition is sometimes a source of teasing during adolescent years.\n\nAs albinism is a recessive gene, the chance of offspring with albinism resulting from the pairing of a creature with albinism with a creature without albinism is very low and is discussed below.

It is also Known as an involuted nail-  Here is some interesting information::\n\nIt is common for us to have patients with self-diagnosed ingrown toenails. Upon examination, however, we often discover that it is, in fact, an involuted nail.\n     A true ingrown toenail (onychocryptosis) involves a piece of nail actually penetrating the skin. This often leads to an infection occurring with the toe becoming red, swollen and very painful.\n     One of the main causes of ingrown toenails is poor self-treatment, whereby a small piece of nail is left uncut at the corner of the nail plate. This then acts like a spear and pierces the skin.\n\n\n     An involuted nail (pincher nail), however, results from an increase in the overall curvature of the nail. As the nail grows forward, the increased curvature of the nail causes it to push back into the skin creating a pinching sensation. This often leads to an increase in the height of the nail as well. Therefore, it is important to wear shoes with a deep toe box to prevent further pressure.\n    In the case of a traumatic ingrown toenail, the nail spike would be cut out (resected), and the toe would be dressed.\n      The severity of the involution would determine whether ongoing periodic management would be adequate or if, in fact, removal of the nail would be required.\n    Surgical removal of a nail is a minor surgical procedure requiring only a local anaesthetic. Either the whole nail plate or a small sliver from the side can be removed. Once the piece has been removed, a chemical is applied to the nail root to prevent re-growth of the offending part (chemical ablation).\n    Both of the above problems warrant a timely professional opinion, as trying to deal with the situation yourself often exacerbates the situation which can result in a longer healing time.
