what is a mole? how do they become? how to prevent them? is it viral?

Question

i have a few moles. i dont like them. i got some while i was pregnant. one sticks out alot and kinda worries me. i visited my mother the other day and she questioned me about that certain one that sticks out a good bit) it is pretty embarrassing. i have them on my neck, back, and small ones on my arms. i think they are gross and if i want them all removed by my doctor, will tricare prime cover all of it? is the procedure painful afterwards?

Answer 1

Moles are small collections of pigment melanin.Some are raised.Moles come by birth .Some occur during pregnancy.No definite cause is known.Their removal is not needed for medical reasons but only for cosmetic reasons.Their removal is not painful and there are no after effects.They are not viral.Warts are also similar to raised moles .Warts are viral.Your physician or dermatologist can advise properly.
