I have a dark brown mole on my leg and dark hairs have appeared. I am told that I should not pluck them out. Why?

Because it can cause melanoma

I've also heard you're not supposed to pluck them and I don't know why... Although it might have something to do with infection- I'm sure an infected mole isn't a pleasant thing to have and plucking a hair out of it can lead to ingrown hairs or infection in the now-open pore. If it's bothering you, just trim it.

I have no idea but I'd pluck them.
I think it's just disgusting when people have long strands of hair coming out of their moles.

It's not true! Old women's tales, but if you have any doubts just cut them instead of plucking them. They can look very ugly...

just buzz them off, I have a feeling that moles are more sensitive to sun burning and injury and could develop cancer in extreme cases

I think moles are extensions from veins or something? It may start bleeding uncontrollably, and you'll have to let the doc burn it shut

there are such things as ingrown hairs and they become infected. they swells and they hurt a lot. you are not suppose to remove hair that way.
