[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: Olympians with moles. Is there any way the outdoor training has given rise to the number or extent of moles? Just a thought.[/quote]

Sun exposure can make moles look darker in appearance so it's possible that athletes who train outdoors are more likely to have visible moles. But then hormones are also known to make moles darker or larger (both puberty and pregnancy are common reasons totally unrelated to cancer that a mole will get bigger. Also I think fair skinned people (of any ethnicity) are just more prone to moles generally. Obviously lighter skin also makes moles more obvious but I also think they've found that lighter skin leads to more moles anyway like there might be something about the way skin with less melanin develop moles that makes it more common. So I don't think the correlation between sun exposure and moles is as 1:1 as some people think -- some people are just predisposed to more moles even if they are very careful in the sun.[/quote]

I actually don't think fair skinned people are more prone to dark moles. To freckles, absolutely but I see many darker skinned white people with dark moles. I'm fair and my few moles look like freckles, they're flesh toned. The dark ones I have had removed, in part because they really are prominent on fair skin. Most were small. [/quote]
