Why do moles often have hair?

Why do moles often have hair? What's the relationship between melanin and hair growth?

Could moles overlap? How random is their spatial distribution?

Why do pimples grow in some places (back, face, shoulders) but not others (e.g. belly)?

Dude, and I mean....."dude" you really need to get out and date.
Promise me you will NOT use these as ice breakers.

I agree with you. I'm a social procrastinator.

It's easy for me to get discouraged when there are so few women that I have a connection with.

That's why I need to make a commitment with myself to go out with someone new every week (although this week, the quota was met: see a few posts back).

There is no QUOTA. LOL

>pimples.

Skin is heterogeneous in composition across the body. It's one of the reasons that skin transplatnts are so difficult.

The face produces oil because it's one of hte more supple/elastic skin types thus it requires lubrication.

On the back/shoulders it's often a matter of clothes, pimples are clogged pores and the clothes hanging down tend to facilitate this, plus heat which allows the infection.

don't know about moles, but I imagine that the hair facilitates the eruption of the skin.
