People with moles tend to live longer.

The medical term is nevus or plural nevi. Moles are skin legions, small clusters of colored skin cells that can be under or on the skin. Moles are either raised or flat, internal or external. Benign moles are usually circular or oval and not very large but some can be larger than the size of a typical pencil eraser. Some moles produce dark, coarse hair. Some medical definitions include skin tags with moles.

The medical world grades moles: 5 aspects.
 * a for Asymmetry. One half of the mole does not match the other half.
 * b for Border. The border or edges of the mole are ragged, blurred, or irregular.
 * c for Color. The color of the mole is not the same throughout or has shades of tan, brown, black, blue, white, or red.
 * d for Diameter. The diameter of a mole is larger than the eraser of a pencil.
 * e for Evolution. The mole is changing in size, shape, or color.

Large (fist size or bigger) birth moles (congenital nevi) are more likely than other moles to become skin cancer (malignant melanoma). The cancer risk is related to the size, location, shape, and color of the mole. A dermatologist should examine every mole and then re-examine if the moles has any fluid ooze, starts to bleed, changes color, becomes inflamed, develops an itch, ulcerates (open sore), becomes painful, changes size, and/or changes texture. Normally, moles that become cancerous are either strangely shapped or develop after adulthood. Small childhood moles tend to be begign. Still, anybody with moles should watch for malignant melanoma, skin Cancer.
