self removing a mole


Question Posted Saturday October 11 2008, 11:50 pm

hey, i have a weird question..
i have this little mole and it's on my chest above my boobs. alot of my friends have one too there. yet i dont really look at it as a beauty mark, i look at it as a flaw. i want mine removed. i dont wear low cut shirts because im that self concious of it. my dermo said she wouldnt remove it because it was unnessesary. well, now ive been thinking ill remove it myelf. what would be the safest way in doing that. i thought of taking a match and to clean my knife and then sterilize it with alcohal. what do you think? thanks.

Do not remove it yourself. You risk getting
a major league infection that can scar or
cause even worse damage. Surgical instruments
are sterilized at temperatures much higher
than you are going to get with a dirty match.

i had the same problem, except mines really big. well i'm not here to stop you, whatever you do is your decision but just know that what happened to me can happen to you... i went to the dermatologist and got it professionally removed, turns out it formed a scar that was BIGGER THAN THE MOLE EVER WAS. there's a greater chance that it can happen to you if you dont get it professionally done.

also, can you go to a different dermatologist? that would help and also, your dermatologist can't refuse you what you want to do if it's not going to harm you in any way. you can also say that it bothers you so they'll be forced to remove it. just please don't do this yourself.

sweety, i dont think thats a good idea if you're that self-concious about it insist on having it removed by a proffesional. i too have a "beauty mark" wich i dont think is that darn beautiful either, but i want it to be removed mine, is probably more conplicated because its huge and its on my arm.
-hope i helped

Yeah, I really wouldn't recommend doing it yourself.
It is considered as plastic surgery. It'll take a 10 minute surgery and it won't even cost much.
It'll leave a minimal scar.

If you do it yourself, you might fuck up pretty badly and end up with a bad scar that looks worse than the mole.

How about using makeup to cover it up?
Whatever you decide, if you do it yourself, you will hurt yourself really badly, and leave a way bigger scar.
