It typically is seen in darker-skinned persons between the ages of sixteen and thirty years. Of course this rule has a lot of exceptions. Usually the black mole is little, up to 5 mm, black spot some times with a subtle touch of brown color at the periphery. The black moles usually appear on the body and extremities and in rare cases on the face. Black moles vary in number from a single lesion to more than fifty.

Because the dark skins tend to develop dark moles it usually could be seen in people with African and Asian origin. Black moles are more prominent in women that in men.

Usually the intense black color is a symptom of melanoma and because of that the black moles should be monitored carefully. There are not enough experimental evidences to prove that black moles will turn into melanoma but you should always be on the alert when a black-pigmented spot is found during the regular check mole process. A single black nevus is more worrisome than multiple lesions so it is obligatory to inform your dermatologist as soon as possible.
