What does it mean if you have a mole by your nose?

It means nothing in particular. Almost everyone has moles all over his/her body, often some 40 in number, but there are many people who have many more. Having one on your nose will only litterally make it stand out. If that bothers you, your doctor can in most cases easily remove it.
