Same. If I had all my moles removed I'd have had like 100 skin excisions by now. Perhaps more.

I see a dermatologist regularly and we keep track of any "concerning" moles and have those excised and biopsied if necessary. But the handful of moles on my face have not changed in size or appearance since I was a child so I've never bothered. I personally like how they look and it's my face.

I once had a woman freak out over a mole on my shoulder because it's "irregularly" shaped and she was lecturing me about how I needed to get it checked and it was "disgusting." It's not even a large mole -- just a little odd shaped instead of perfectly round. I asked my derm about it at my next appointment and she was like "no I don't worry about that one -- it's small and has normal color and has never grown. But this woman was throwing a fit about it.

This is very much where this is just about some of you having weird OCD tendencies and needing to weight in on other people's bodies and appearance. Being "grossed out" by something as normal and commonplace as a mole is a reflection of your own psychological issues. See a therapist.

The one on my hand (go away, annoying mole n@zi) is looked at by every single doctor I see because it has multiple weird characteristics - not symmetrical, not all one color, that kind of thing. But I have had it for my entire life and it has NEVER changed. And when I did attempt to get it removed, the plastic surgeon told me the scar would be bigger because of location/proximity to bone.

Oddly, the type of mole (blue nevi) is more common in Asian populations and I am as white as white can be.

People need to mind their business. I mean, I wouldn't be mad if someone said it was odd and I should get it checked. Usually, I just tell them "yes, I have had it looked at already and it's nothing"

No. Do not throw around the label Nazi.

Maybe you should treat your OCD and control issues instead if expecting everyone with moles to have them surgically removed.

I have never noticed Lively's mole before and now that it's brought to my attention I think it suits her and is part of her beauty.

I agree. My child's mole is fine, it's been checked out by docs, if you don't like it, that's a YOU problem. Get over it, judgmental jerks.

You should get it removed before your kid is too old.

Not in particular, but in general, the mole with grow with the kid and it's best to get it removed. Of course for everyone out there saying the doctor admitted the scar would be bigger than the mole, then maybe not. Personally I would rather have a smooth scar than a mole and any doc worth their salt can minimize the scar. I have a c-section scar that is 2.5 inches across. Celebrities should have access to the very best.

Look, if you don’t like your moles, remove them. Others can make their own decisions.

I’d have to have hundreds taken off of me that are of no medical concern just to make other people happy? No.

OK now, but moles grow.

and as I said, if they actually grow, you get it checked by a doc for possible cancer

this isn't that hard.

Remove them if you wish, but they aren't hurting anyone else.

Sure, but we were talking about moles being beautiful. They can be cute on a child, but once they start growing, there's nothing pretty about them. Sorry.

No I am sorry that you are so uneducated.

Not all moles grow. The vast majority of moles are benign and will look the same you're entire life. I have hundred of moles on my body and 99.9999% of them never change. The few that do I get removed. 0% of my moles are your business though.

This is why I've never had any of my (small and I think cute) facial moles removed. I do have a scar from a mole I had removed from my torso years ago. Not a big deal and it was a mole that was growing and concerned my doctor so worth the scar to remove just in case. But I'd much rather have a mole on my face than a scar from where it was removed.

People who freak out about moles tend to have anxiety and OCD. They need to look inward. I just have a little brown mole on my cheek -- you have a black spot on your personality. Only one of those things is malignant.

I had a shave excision. I can't even find the scar.

Not all moles can be removed with a shave excision. I've had to have two moles removed by plastic surgeons because my derm didn't feel comfortable removing in office. And one of those even still left a scar because of the location (thanks to the surgeon it was a small and tidy scar but it's still noticeable 10+ years later).

It sounds like a lot of people on this thread don't really know a lot about moles or mole removal. Yet you feel comfortable telling other peopel what to do about something on their body that has nothing to do with you. Interseting.

this right here!

This seems a little harsh...A black spot on the personality? I just don't really like them, particularly if they are large. I apply that same standard to myself, I have gotten many even small moles removed if they were very dark. I don't think they take away from someone's beauty and would never comment on someone's mole or body. I just find them distracting if large. That's all. Lively's is small but yes I think I would have removed it. To each his or her own.

The people in this thread calling moles ugly and disgusting or saying they can't ignore them when they see them -- that is a serious personality flaw that should be addressed. If they feel this way about moles how do they feel about physical disabilities or people with wrinkles or facial asymmetry.

If you just have a preference you never voice then no one cares.

Her face is not hot at all. Mole or no mole.

Came here to say this. Her facial features are pretty basic.

You have hundred of moles on your body and they are not my business?! Um...ok, thanks for sharing on a public forum, enjoy them.

Why? Because some stranger on the internet assumes it is ugly? And what exactly do you think is too old for a child to have a mole? So curious.

NP. It's okay for you to go on and on about how all moles are ugly, but then when someone throws out a word you don't like, you freak the F out? Oh. Okay, how about I call you INSANE instead. You psychotic freak. You're weird.

I'm sorry, are you some sort of medical expert on moles? Feel free to post your credentials here.

"I WOULD have it removed" is not the same as "she SHOULD have it removed." Totally different level.

I am one of the posters who said I have hundreds of moles. Most are more large freckles, some are raised classic moles. They dot my arms and legs. I am part Irish and very fair skinned. It id not at all unusual.
