I have three beauty marks on my face, like an inch under my eye. They REALLY bother me..ugh. I'm really self conscious about them and they just mess up the symmetry of my face. But the thing is, they're not just regular beauty marks. They're more like moles but very small because I can actually feel them, they pop out sort of. So could I use that Freeze-Off stuff at the pharmacy to get rid of them? Or do I need to get them laser removed by a dermatologist? Help!!

I've dealt with beauty marks and various blemishes that have bothered me (and still do at times). I've tried various ways and they're usually not very comfortable. I think your best bet is to get them laser removed if you really don't like them. Sit down and talk to your parents about it. Since it's only 3 small marks, maybe it won't cost so much.

To be honest though, you probably notice them the most more so than anybody. We all have our own little imperfections that are clear as day to us that most likely go unnoticed by everyone else. So, until you do take care of them, if you do, try not to let it get to you too much. Another thing is since you're so young, sometimes these marks tend to go away on their own. That might happen too.

Either way, best of luck with whichever path you go decide to choose. Again, I wouldn't try any risky at home methods though.
