Is it dangerous to remove moles?

Se7ven · 27 Jan 2010 at 18:24

Does anyone know?

I purchased some Wart Mole Vanish for some warts I had on my hand that Sylacylic(sp?) Acid wouldnt get rid of, but this stuff was like a pure acid based solution that did the trick and didnt even leave a scar, just completely fried the warts (left them black) 2 weeks later the scab came off and no more wart.

I have a few moles too that I wouldnt mind getting rid of, but these arent warts and I am a bit aprehensive about using it on moles.

does anyone know if there would be any damage apart from possible scarring from burning off moles?

Maglite and a shovel should see you fine.

Just don't put your hand in their burrows without wearing some kind of glove.

GP won't do anything about something that doesn't cause me problems

it's an ... image thing, call me vain

You're vain

happier now?

go to your GP and tell them it's causeing you psycological stress, low confidence etc, they apparently love that stuff, friend of mine played that card and got it removed a month later (yes, you'll have to wait a little while)

Show us your moles!

Just use the stuff. Worst that can happen is it will damage the cells and cause cancer, then the gp will remove it for free. Win-win situation tbh.

Most will do it as they get money for every mole removed.
Just say it's changed colour or shape if they wont do it.

My uncle used a shotgun to remove his moles so I think it can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing...

That's so cute!

Get the moles removed by a doctor if you're so fussed. I wouldn't risk removing them with the cream.

Having known several people who have had considerable problems with moles that have turned nasty... I wouldn't mess with it.

Go see your GP, who will do it for you if the mole is small and accessible enough.
