Answer 1

Get some perspective.

Are these moles particularly itchy or perhaps spreading in size across your back? If so, go see your doctor for a professional opinion.

Otherwise, the medical profession have real emergencies to deal with without you moaning about TWO insignificant blemishes.

There are people who will charge you to remove them, but you could just focus on getting yourself some other interests and focussing on other people around you rather than just on yourself.

Are you soooo shallow that you think other people will notice them first and then notice you yourself. You should be grown up about this - people want to find out about you if you are willing to be interested in them.

There is a high likelyhood that you remove these warts and then find others popping up either in the same place or on other areas of your body - they are relatively harmless so just be grateful that you don't have REAL health issues.

Answer 2

I work for a plastic surgeon who does mole/lesion/growth removals all the time. It's a relatively simple procedure... Most dermatologists will do this sort of thing but some people prefer to have a plastic surgeon do it for better cosmetic results. No matter what anyone says SOMETIMES moles need to be taken off. They could be atypical (meaning it's not cancer but it's not quite right, either) or it could be pre-cancerous or even cancer. If they are raised, if they itch, if they bleed, if you've noticed any changes definitely bring it up to your doctor. In MD, at my doctor's office a client is usually referred by a dermatologist for an appointment, they come in, the dr. says he can take it off, less then a month later they're in for removal and a week later they're out and about again. I'd check with your local primary care doctor. (I had three moles, that were raised and I caught with my fingernails constantly, removed and I didn't even need stitches.)

i had a big mole on my lower back n its like reli nasty, so ive been beggin my mom for years, so finally last summer i got it removed. firstly i found myself those typical skin doctor, n got it removed by laser. its kinda pain dependin which places ur handling wif. the doc told me it would be alot painer if ur doin on the face. anyway, it healed after 1 week n sth for me. if ur area is larger, it definitely would take longer to heal.
one thing to remind u is to avoid the sun after the surgery, cuz it will darken ur wound n ur mole may grow again. if u reli hate ur mole, go for it! gd luck! email me for more information =)
