mole removal
I visited my dermatologist today and I have a mole that is physically fine but I want to have it removed for cosmetic reasons. She discourages it because it may or may not heal well and it's in a well seen spot but I hide the mole anyway, so I really just want to be free of it. Can anyone tell me from their own experiences of mole removal if it hurts, how long it takes to heal, and what the scarring is like? Has anyone tried creams to remove their moles? I've read about stuff online that makes it fall off but I don't know if I can trust it.
Thanks so much

It is important to have self confidance and if that mole is bringing down your slef confidence then you can consider having it removed? but i think before you get it removed you should definatly ask your dermatoligst questions you have and do some reasearch. obviously it is going to be a little painful, there taking something off your face that you were born with!
i am sure if you decide to get it removed everything will be fine
but if you decide not to get it removed and u dont like it try some cosmetics such as cover up makeup
GOOD Luck

I had one on my chest, and I wanted it removed for the same reasons. I would hide it no matter what and it was a pain finding shirts that conceal so much.
Anyway, it didn't hurt, they just gave me a couple of shots so that it was numb and I didn't feel a thing. However, I unfortunately scar really badly, and it left a keloid that's the same size of the mole. Its horrible!
I'm not saying it'll happen to you, but if you know you scar after you scrape something, please reconsider. I regret getting it removed because all that's left is a big pinkish/red bump which is the same size as the mole was.
I've tried the stuff that makes it fall off, it works depending on how big the mole is and how well you tolerate pain. For me, it burned so badly that I couldn't continue with the product.

A personal friend of mine was advised to have a mole on his back removed because of the size. It didnt seem big to me but I think it was more the depth of the mole that was a concern. He had it removed and he said it was severely painful. It took some time to heal and it is very visible on his back with scarring from burning it off. It stayed very pink in color.
I would not burn it off if you hide it already. It sounds like its more of a personal insecurity rather than a medical condition that needs to be fixed.
Could cause more damage than anything. I feel you should think twice about it.
Good luck
