[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have moles all over and I’ve never worried about them. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [b]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[/b].

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"[/quote]

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.[/quote]

this right here![/quote]

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.[/quote]

"I WOULD have it removed" is not the same as "she SHOULD have it removed." Totally different level.[/quote]
There is a PP who literally said about a child she's never seen before: You should get it removed before your kid is too old.[/quote]
