damn moles! can they ever go away!!? Options

[jesus89]

i have this mole on the side of my head which is pretty irritating. i was wondering if anyone knows if they sort of fade away over a long period of time or if there's actually an effective treatment out there. i googled a little and all i saw that surgery is the main option. scary!!

[TyCooN]

there's this operation where the mole gets lasered out

Why would you get rid of your mole? I love mine.

no get it excised.

its the only way.

see a doc. there are many methods of removal:

1. laser
2. dry ice
3. scapel

but u need a medical professional to remove it because it is sort of a tumor

Moles are a messy situation. In general, just leave things you were born with alone unless they really need to be fixed.

[Ichigo_Zangetsu]

My friend had her on one side of her cheek. It was big, round, dark and bumpy. It was a distraction. And then she got it removed and she looks great.

i know some1 that had his one 'removed' through laser surgery.

Sounds painful cuz apparently the doctor gave him a needle shot ON THE MOLE, which was on his face, ouch.

Left nothing.

Cloudy's right....if it's a really deep mole then get it excised, not lasered. Moles that get lasered either leave a faint mark or eventually come back, especially if they're deep. The doc has to dig the mole out at the root and stitch your skin back together.

[miss_merisha]

Is the dry ice method where u put dry ice and freeze it off? Is that even possible to freeze off a mole?

What's the scapel method?

Do all the methods leave u with a scar?

[cloudyski]

the amount of scarring you have depends on the individual (and also how well you clean your wounds)

neosporin can help minimize appearance of scarring - most people do scar though...

make up can cover scars in worst case scenerio

i had some moles excised and i don't wear makeup
minimal scaring

no one knows i have moles removed unless they knew me before or unless i point out the scars

so its fine

[neezee]

^ cost = ???

[BeN_86]

If its those moles where its just flat, you can get those lasered easily.

IT BURNS away the mole.. wtf.........

you know its bad to mess with benign tissue because technically it could turn cancerous if u were to perturb it. best to get the skin and area around it all removed.

go to a doc, don't burn off the mole...



i'm really skeptical about this product

Pristine Herbal Touch Wart & Mole Vanish

A Natural Herbal Cream Preparation (active components listed below)

The cell tissues of warts, moles and other skin disorders are burned by the natural components derived from the herbal extracts found in Wart & Mole Vanish.
Produces similar results as Electro-cauterization, but without anesthesia
Causes destruction of wart or mole to the root within 20 minutes after a single application (certain types of warts and moles may need more than one application)
Dried up lesions fall off in 1-3 weeks Has an anti-viral action without recurrence
Minimally invasive. Unlikely to scar unless scab is disturbed or removed prematurely or unless a secondary infection occurs.

Indications
Wart & Mole Vanish cream is indicated for the topical removal of all kinds of warts, moles and other skin growths including external genital warts, skin tags and syringoma.

Some people mistake Seborrheic Keratoses as a mole. We do not recommend using this product for Seborrheic Keratoses because they tend to grow back.

Standard Kit Contents

Natural antibacterial solution - 5ml
3 cotton swabs
2 applicator stick
1 scratching sterile stainless needle (for hard warts and small moles)
1 emery board (for scratching moles and skin tags)
1 toothpick (for scratching small moles/skin tags)

Anacardium occidentale, Ficus Carica, Chelidonium Majus, Citrus Limon, De-ionized Water, Talc.


Storage
Store at room temperature.
Once opened, cream will dry out very quickly.

If product dries out, it may be possible to re-hydrate. Use applicator stick to add a little water at a time to bring to original creamy consistency. (This may or may not work)

Basically, the ingredients are:
Anacardium occidentale (the cashew)


Ficus Carica (the fig)


Chelidonium Majus (the poppy)




Citrus Limon (the lemon)


De-ionized Water (not tap water)


Talc (the stuff they use to clean baby's asses comes from a rock)





so today i'm gonna go to the grocery store mix up a few of these ingrediants -save myself a couple bucks and burn off all the moles on my body to become the ultimate beauty
