This print showcases a pigmented skin mole, known as a melanocytic or melanotic naevus, on the surface of a 24-year-old Indian man. The intricate details of this blemish are brought to life through the lens of Larry Dunstan from Science Photo Library. Moles like these are caused by an abnormality or overactivity of melanocytes, which are responsible for producing the pigment melanin in our skin cells. They can vary greatly in size and appearance, making each one unique. While they are uncommon at birth, moles tend to appear during childhood and adolescence. The photograph provides a close-up view that allows us to appreciate the complexity of this particular pigmented naevus. It serves as a reminder that our bodies are composed of countless intricacies waiting to be explored and understood. Dermatology plays a crucial role in studying such dermatological conditions and understanding their impact on human health. By capturing this image with precision and clarity, Larry Dunstan invites us into the world of medical science where every mark tells its own story.
