Pigmented lesion are known as moles which are benign and they can occur in the face or any where else. It can turn malignant especially with too much exposure to the sun. Medical advice should be taken if there is any change in size, colour, itching or ulceration.

The mole: It ranges from small to large, varies in color from pink, brown, red, or black. We know that almost everyone has at last a few moles; most people have 10-50! Statistics show that they can appear on any part of the body. When someone is born, a person always has at least 4 moles on themselves, however they are not visible. As the individual ages, the moles become darker (more visible). Any skin mole on your body may be flat or stout; the more they grow, the more likely one might sprout a few hairs.

In fact the moles are not red. The pigmentation of the mole is brown to black. There is a mole which looks like a red one and it is called spitz nevi. The spitz nevi is typical for the childhood and the adolescence (see http://www.molesremoval.org/skin-moles/moles-in-children). For the adult the red disorders of the skin are some type of bening tumor but not mole (nevus).
