A specific type of cell called melanocyte is responsible for causing pigmented spots and bumps on the skin. The color of skin also depends on these pigment-producing cells. Sometimes, if many melanocytes join together, a darker area will be produced, which is called a mole. While some people think differently, most people do not consider a pigmented spot beautiful, especially when hair grows out of a mole.

What Causes Hair to Grow Out of Mole?

It is possible to have hair growing out of mole when you develop these moles on areas of the skin where you have hair follicles, such as the arms, scalp, legs, eyebrows, and genitals. Than means you have hair growing out of your mole mainly because of the location of the mole. The color of the hair that sprouts out of a mole may or may not be black. 

Is a Hairy Mole More Likely to Become Cancerous?

There is a common misconception that when you have hair growing out of a mole, it indicates cancer. Some people may think that removing that hair may trigger or cause cancer. There is no scientific evidence to prove these statements. It is less likely to be true especially because the mole itself has nothing to do with the growth of the hair.

Note: You may be at an increased risk of developing malignant melanoma if you had moles at the time of birth. These moles are called congenital nevi or giant hair nevi.
