Why do nevi appear on the neck?
To determine why a convex or hanging birthmark appeared on the neck, you should consider the reasons for which large or small nevi appear on the body:
- Prolonged exposure to direct ultraviolet rays. The summer period is characterized by aggressive sun rays, especially from ten in the morning to four in the evening. Hot weather excludes the neck being covered, so it is exposed to the sun's rays. New spots may form on the neck or old nevi may change the structure.
- Skin injury. Moles on the neck are subject to rubbing by tight clothing and jewelry. If regular mechanical impact on the stain causes irritation and inflammation, you should think about getting rid of the formation.
- Hormonal changes in the body. A spot consisting of pigment cells appears on the neck during puberty in adolescents, pregnancy, and lactation. Also, a hormonal surge is typical during termination of pregnancy, menopause, and long-term use of hormonal medications. Impaired functioning of the thyroid gland provokes a hormonal imbalance, which will cause the appearance of new nevi or the enlargement of old ones.
- Hereditary factor. If a brown mole is located on the back or stomach of a man or woman, there is a high probability of a similar localization of the nevus in their child. Babies are not always born with nevi. The spots appear after six months after birth.
When do you need a doctor's help if a nevus occurs?
If there is cause for concern, then you need the help of a specialist. Only a dermatologist can determine what is happening to nevi. First, a visual examination is carried out, then laboratory tests are prescribed, and sometimes a puncture is added to this. This is necessary to understand the structure of the formation and find out the cause of inflammatory processes. Most often it is recommended to remove nevi, which are called hanging nevi. Such formations cause various injuries; the risk of catching or damaging the growth, or rubbing it with jewelry or clothing, increases significantly.
Modern methods of removing nevi are:
- laser surgery;
- radio wave method;
- surgical intervention:
- cryodestruction.
Laser removal does not cause pain, complications, scarring or scarring for patients. The procedure is carried out quickly, especially if you only need to cut off 1 mole. The radio wave method allows you to reach the most delicate and hard-to-reach places on the neck. The nevus is cut off using a knife that works like a radio wave. A high voltage current passes through the tool, which allows you to gradually cut off the formation.
This is done for 20 minutes, during which the mole is gradually removed. It is almost impossible to catch infection or inflammation during radio wave surgery, which is due to several factors. Firstly, this is a sterile procedure. Secondly, the operation is contactless. If it is necessary to remove several growths, then first one formation is removed, and then the other.
Recently, the method of freezing, or cryodestruction, has been actively used. For this, liquid nitrogen is used, with which the formation is frozen, and only then removed. The postoperative recovery process takes significantly longer than with a laser procedure. Much less often, moles are excised with a scalpel, which is used to eliminate large and large nevi.
Many people who have a mole on their neck often do not pay attention to it. But a cervical mole is not just a nevus. This is a sign of fate. The specific significance of this neoplasm is associated with localization, quantity, and forms. Anyone interested in this issue will find the proposed material useful.
Kinds
Nevi most often form on the neck, since this area of the body is vulnerable to external factors. Based on shape, size, color and structure, the main groups of moles are divided. These include:
- Red spot (angioma). The color of a mole does not depend on melanocytes, but on a large accumulation of vessels that are located inside it. Angiomas occur six months after the birth of a child. Education at a later age appears less frequently.
- The hanging growth is characterized by a flesh color. The mole is located on a stalk, protruding above the skin level. Three to four moles may form on the neck, since this area of the skin is susceptible to external influences. A hanging formation is dangerous because it is constantly injured, torn off or shaved off, which increases the risk of degeneration into a malignant tumor.
- Pigment spots are divided into several subtypes, differing in shape, size, and color. A pigmented spot that develops in the upper layer of the skin is called an intradermal spot. The border formation is located between the epidermis and dermis, does not exceed one centimeter in diameter, and is beige, brown or black in color.
The above types of nevi are benign and do not pose a health hazard in the absence of modifications.
Shape of moles
The round shape speaks of positive events in a person’s life.
A mole that resembles a line in shape warns of misfortunes and dangers.
A triangular mole indicates increased sexuality.
And the square one speaks of already pathological sexuality.
The lighter the mole, the better the future and character of a person, say meleosophists. They also analyze the dominant color of moles on the human body.
Pink moles characterize a positive person with above average intellectual abilities, successful and respectable. He is inclined to a calm family life. People of this type are loved by others and have a great influence on them. This type achieves success in everything, be it business, politics or creativity. But people with a predominance of pink moles are extremely rare. Although one mole of this color is already a good sign.
Brown moles are positive, promising their owner success and prosperity. People of this type are hardworking and know how to spend the money they earn, they travel a lot, and they understand a lot about food and entertainment. Brown moles dress well and furnish their homes with taste. They are fair and do not get involved in dangerous adventures, do not break the law, are easy to train, have analytical abilities and intuition, and therefore act quickly and correctly in crisis situations. In addition, these people always express their point of view clearly and decisively, without engaging in idle talk.

Is it possible to delete
The nevus, located on the neck, is rubbed by clothing and is exposed to ultraviolet radiation. The result is discomfort that cannot be ignored. Unpleasant sensations may be a sign of transformation of a benign spot into a cancerous tumor. Dangerous symptoms:
- The occurrence of itching and burning.
- Increase in spot size.
- The area around the nevus became painful.
- The surface of the growth took on a cracked appearance.
- The appearance of red or black spots on the surface of the nevus.

Medical institutions offer several methods for removing growth. These include:
- The cryodestruction method is based on the action of liquid nitrogen, which freezes the area of skin where the nevus is located. During the operation, mild pain is felt. Disadvantage: scars after the recovery period.
- Radio wave removal involves exposure to high-frequency electric current. The operation lasts half an hour and leaves no scar or scar.
- The electrocoagulation method leaves a scar, since it does not directly affect the mole. It is not recommended to use the procedure for formations on the neck.
- Surgical removal. The doctor uses a scalpel to excise the growth. The method is appropriate for large convex nevi. The method will leave scars, which are removed with plastic surgery.
- Laser excision is based on removing the spot without the possibility of sending it for histological examination. The method does not leave scars, is painless, does not require anesthesia, and is high in cost.
If there is any change in the birthmark, you should consult a dermatologist. After the examination, the doctor will prescribe medication treatment or removal of the mole.

- one side begins to grow and loses its contours;
- the size of the formation increases;
- pain when touched;
- cracks appear from which liquid leaks;
- begins to bleed;
- a white halo appeared around the nevus;
- hair began to fall out from the surface of the growth;
- formation of ulcers on the body of the mole;
- burning;
- peeling;
- the skin around the formation became inflamed and an additional rash appeared.
If you have symptoms, you should consult a doctor, he will conduct a diagnosis and choose a course of therapy.
It is important to pay attention to the fact that redness and peeling of the skin around the formation may be caused by an allergic reaction and not be related to oncology. When wearing synthetic clothing, moles begin to itch. A low-quality cream that is applied to the face and neck can cause a reaction. Insect bites in the area of the nevus also cause itching.
