A mole is a type of growths on the skin that usually happens when cells in the skin, called melanocytes, grow in a cluster with tissue surrounding them. In common case many people have moles between 10 and 40 moles. These moles usually develop time to time in human beings, usually until about age 40. Among one in every 10 people has at least one unusual (or atypical) mole that looks different from an ordinary mole. This mole has the greater chance than an ordinary mole to develop into melanoma skin cancer.
Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes scaling and swelling in the skin. In psoriasis skin disease patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales forms. These patches can itch or feel uncomfortable. These patches can be on the elbows, knees, other parts of the legs, scalp, lower back, face, palms, and soles of the feet and also they can occur on other body parts.

The size of the psoriasis patches and the type of psoriasis decides what treatment is to be given.
