How it's used
This term specifically describes a mole that is prominent or physically raised, rather than just a small freckle or flat spot. It is often used in descriptions to help identify someone in a crowd. While it can be used neutrally, be mindful that commenting on someone's physical features can sometimes be perceived as rude depending on the context.
Examples
He has a large mole on his nose, it is very easy to recognize.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe flat or tiny spots on the skin. It implies a mole that is large enough to be a distinct facial or body feature.
