If you have many birthmarks on your body - this is not a cause for concern. Much worse, if the old mole began to change color, or shape. Let's talk about what caused such metamorphosis and what could be the consequences.
Why are there many moles on the body?
The reasons that there are many moles on the body can be very different. Usually these new growths appear in childhood, in infants they do not. After the first year of life, small light spots become slightly larger, with time they darken and turn into habitual birthmarks. Most people have such happy marks about forty. If the moles are less - this is a rarity, only 10% of people on the body have less than 25 moles. Abnormally large number of tumors is 100 and above, such people on Earth only 5%. In themselves, moles appear, reacting to ultraviolet radiation. In the process of growth, new cells produce excess melanin, which is reflected in color.
In many countries moles are considered a sign of good luck and not in vain. Not so long ago, scientists noted that those who have a lot of moles on their bodies grow older much slower than other people and less sick.
The fact is that the human body with a large number of markers produces white blood cells with several elongated telomeres. This has a positive effect on health:

- decreases the likelihood of cancer.
How the appearance of moles with the length of telomeres is connected, scientists have not yet established. This is the same mystery as the very reason for the appearance of a large number of moles.
