Moles do not cause cancer, however, certain cancers, such as melanoma, can present with moles.

Most moles aren't cancerous, but if you feel concerned, you should see a doctor, as the cancerous moles are very distinguishable from the regular moles.

What is in sunlight which is harmful?

Sunlight is the main source of ultraviolet radiation (UV) known to damage the skin and to cause skin cancer. There are no safe UV rays (or safe suntans). Sun exposure at any age can cause skin cancer. Your skin and eyes are most susceptible to sun damage. You need to be especially careful in the sun if you have numerous moles, irregular moles, or large moles; freckles or burn before tanning; fair skin, or blond, red, or light brown hair; or spend a lot of time outdoors. Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer, and accounts for more than 75 percent of the deaths due to skin cancer. In addition to skin cancer, sun exposure can cause premature aging of the skin, wrinkles, cataracts, and other eye problems.
