There are different ways to investigate and interpret moles on the face. In a health setting, moles (also called nevi) are evaluated to prevent and manage skin cancer. But there are other interpretive meanings of moles on the face that go back thousands of years in China.
The art of face reading provides information about a person's characteristics. According to The Chinese Art of Face Reading: Book of Moles, if you want to know about a person's reputation, nobleness, wealth, blessings, and longevity, look at their forehead, eyebrows, nose, mouth, ears, and chin. A mole in any of these facial areas offers insight into certain qualities.
