hi my-lotters, i just want to ask this, and i want to ask an advice.. i have a lot of moles on my body and in my face, but they are not big.. maybe it's in my blood, my grandfather is spanish and my grandmother is half chinese and filipina.. maybe because of it that's why i have a lot of this on my body... and i plan to remove them all but it cost so much, really it is.. but my family advices me not to do it because they love to see it and it's not bad for me to have it all.. they also say that they are my assets, but really i am not comfortable with it.. my BF loves them and told me not to remove them..!! and maybe the operation can cause another problem for me if i will continue my plans.. i also think that if what GOD gives you so accept it, don't change anything.. friends, is it right to remove them or just leave them.?? what do you think about this?? do you have also a lot of moles in your body..?? thanks for the advices...

If your mole is can't affect your life I think removing it is not advisable. Mole that are big and can be a cancerous it is advisable to remove it. Now that there a solution made in cashew that can remove the moles but it is not availabe in the market. The inventor of it has a clinic that's why he don't sale it outside. I think if our Bf find it attractive so be it I think it would be your asset.

I do not feel it is necessary for you to remove them, when your boyfriend has asked you not to, you say you do not have them on the face, so it is not a problem at all. Moles are considered lucky for some. I do have moles on my elbow, but none on my face.

I have moles I don't really count them but they are hardly visible, almost like a small dot on my skin if anyone bothers to notice I don't know if moles are genetic but if they are big and you don't feel comfortable then go ahead remove them mine are like small brown dots so it doesn't matter to me

well the truth is that you never know when a mole will become cancerous so if its oddly shaped or in an area that gets rubbed or scraped by a strap or something or if it changes color you should get it removed.. i dont care for moles and have had some removed but not all due to cost and if the person doesnt do it right they leave bad scars.. i went to a very well known place and i got huge scars that were way bigger than the mole it removed! but it was worth it since one was always getting rubbed by my bra and it was big.. some ethnic/nationalities do seem to have more moles.. my mom said italians tend to (im part italian) do what you want for yourself! not anyone else! you have to look at yourself and if not having them would make you happier then do it when you can.. but they have several ways they can remove it.. they did the "punch" with the ones that did badly but they can freeze them off with chemicals and other ways.. just make sure you are willing to live with the scar instead if you do do it.. or research who you go to well

That's really up to you Janebeth. You're the only one who knows what you really want. I think the opinion of other people doesn't really matter. It's your body so only you have the right to decide. If I were you, I would do what I want no matter what others think as long as it would not harm anyone including me.

I do have quite a few moles on my body. There are some big dark ones on my neck and chest and some on my back and a couple on my hands that are not so dark. For me personally, if I had the money and I was still young, I would have gotten the biggest and darkest moles removed and left the light colored ones and small ones. Now that I am older, they don't bother me as much.

hi Janebeth hatley here. I do too but unless they are very'dark black or are very irregular in size, or are sore and bleeding 'I would leave them alone. a trip to the dermatologist to be' sure you do not have any socalled moles that could be skin cancer is in order so you know whether or not you need worryabout any of them. I think a lot of people have them and they may bother you just thinking they look awful but really they dont.as long as they dont have any symptoms of skin cancer you needent worry at all.

Hi jane. I found your moles too attractive for me and I don't think you have to remove them. Besides, we can't tell how the operation will cause you harm. There are lots of reported surgical procedures that everywhere and wished they never done that. One more thing, it's kinda expensive to remove them. But if you have lots of money, it's up to you, it's just an advise. Me, I have also moles, but just a few.

Almost everyone will have some kind of birthmark, skin discoloration, or small mole on their body. No is perfect, and people who look like they have perfect skin are usually covering up their imperfections. With that said, it is important to check your moles regularly for changes. An irregular, oddly-colored, or fast-growing mole could signal a skin condition. If your moles still really bother you, you can also have them removed and evaluated by a dermatologist or your local family physician.

Hi janebeth, First talk to your doctor about it wether it will be safe to remove them then see how you feel, if its making you very unhappy about it remove it if it is safe, i know that others don't mine about your moles but really its up to you. Good luck in whatever you do. Tamara

Well some moles can be attractive, but some don't look good. You said that yours are small and your boyfriend likes them, so if I were you I'd probably leave them. I don't have any moles, only a few freckles and none on my face. My ex bf had some small moles on his face that I thought were attractive and I'd never want him to remove them.

Hello jane, Why the need of removing it when you loved ones like to see you the way it is.And even your bf loves it too.Maybe it looks unpleasant to you but for those people around you they found it cute and an asset. Just like what you have said,it maybe due to some mixed blood in your genes,so,why remove it dear,let it be.As long as it doesn't makes any trouble with you. Have a great Sunday my friend

Hi jane,I also have many moles on my body.I feel they are an essential part of my body. However there can be some problem if they tend to grow and become malignant.In that case its better to get rid of the malignant ones. Happy mylotting

I have moles but not huge moles just regular ones that cannot really be removed? It would be a waste of money to remove them. I accept my moles :)
