I've always had a BIG mole about 1/3 inch away from my left nipple. It is a little larger than half the size of my nipple. As a kid, I wouldn't go to friends birthday parties if it involved swimming, or anything where I might have to take my shirt off. I remember whenever I took my shirt off in PE kids would make fun of me. The only people that know about this mole are my immediate family. I absolutely HATE fearing to take my shirt off so I went to the dermatologist and they said that I should just leave it because it would make a pretty big scar. I am not the type of person who usually worries about these kind of things; it's really only this mole. How can I learn to accept it and not be embarrassed to go swimming or walk around at the beach with my shirt off?

I don't really have any advice or solution suggestions for you but I can say that I know what you are talking about. I have several "smallish" type moles that I have always been embarassed about. I have 2 on the sides of my ribcage that I tend to pick at (I know, bad habit) and sometimes its almost as if it makes them disappear. I pick the darkness off. I know this sounds strange and probably not very safe but I can't seem to help myself. I hope you are able to learn to accept this "beauty mark" and not let them affect the way you live your life.

Scars may or may not be that bad.
You can always make up a story about how you got in an accident as a kid. Maybe you hit the handlebars on your bike and were lucky to not puncture a lung.

if you were really that worried,go to a plastic sergeon. See what they can offer. And if that dont work (try to see the lighter side of things)you can always get yourself a tatoo and make the mole and your nipple into something you like... lol

A scar sounds cool! You can make up a lie about how you got it and impress people with that. Or you can be a real guy and not give a fat rat's behind about what people think about your mole.
The choice is yours

god created everyone remember that if it really bothers you you should see a comestic surgeon they would be better able to judge about the scar issue than a dermotologist could i bet they could remove it without a scar or a very tiny one

Since this is a problem, consult a dermatologist. It can probably be removed . Good luck.
