Can you yank off a skin mole (with no consequnces other than bleeding)?
Tie a thread or hair around it. every day you tighten it and after 2 or three days it will come off. I know that sounds crazy, but I have a friend that has done that and it worked

its stuck to your skin, theres no harm in it unless its really big, or its dark, then you might have skin cancer. if you want it removed, go to the dermatologist
Reply:its fine just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesnt get infected
Reply:No, it has to be cut out. Even then, if they do not cut deep enough, the mole can grow back. Don't pull it off. See a dermatologist instead
Reply:Is it one of those little tag like moles? I went to the skin doc to get rid of a tiny one. She just put alcohol on it, pulled it out a little and cut it with the scissors. Then she put a band-aid on it.
My husband has shaved his off and I had one under my arm I accidentally shaved off. Just stung a little. So I guess you can if you put alcohol on it to kill any germs. If it was too big I would go to the doc tho.
Reply:There's always that possibility, but it would be better to consult a doctor or something like that first.
Reply:No, it may bleed
Reply:I have a full prof remedy this may sound strange but it works, most moles have stinacles and they will bleed and may become infected tie a piece of thread around the mole tightly as not to fall off then every day make it more tight but drawing the thread together, and knot it each time after 5-7 days the mole will fall off with no ill effects ..

How much would it cost to get a skin mole removed? Does it leave like a huge scar?
I want to get my mole removed, it's on the side of me face, i cover it up with my hair, it kinda like pops out and i hate it. I want to know an estimate on how much it would cost? If insurance covers it? and if it leaves like a huge scar that won't get removed?
How much would it cost to get a skin mole removed? Does it leave like a huge scar?
It's usually the cost of a an office visit plus a minimal amount for lab work. If you tell your dermatologist it is suddenly itchy or painful then they will biopsy it and it will be covered by insurance. If you tell them it is purely because you don't like the way it looks then your insurance will say its cosmetic and not cover it. All in all it should cost about 150 before insurance pays. I had a mole removed from the side of my nose and now there is nothing no scar or anything. I went to two different docs because the first doc told me "If I remove the mole people will notice a pretty girl with a scar on the side of her nose....if you leave the mole in place, you'll notice a pretty girl with a mole". Needless to say I got a second opinion and had the mole removed and now they just notice a pretty girl! Get it removed!!!!! Good luck to you.
Reply:If you tell the dermatologist that it is suddenly itchy or painful, that suggests that the mole is somehow abnormal and they may obligated to send it to the pathologist for microscopic evaluation (to rule out a cancer like melanoma), which will be an additional fee on top of the dermatologist's fee. Report It
Reply:The cost of getting a mole removed depends on who you see and where you have it done. Yep. Sounds wierd. Family doctors, dermatologists and plastic surgeons will all remove moles for you, but the plastic surgeon will usually cost the most. It's hard to tell how much it will cost since insurance companies typically base what they pay on the usual and customary charges for the zip code your doctor is in.
Why does it matter where you have it done? In the state of Washington, if you have your mole removed at a facility, not in a hospital, but one that is owned by a hospital (University of Washington, Virginia Mason are two examples), you will be responsible for additional charges made by the facility. So do your homework.
Finally, there are different charges for the removal depending on what the surgery is. For example, if your mole is elevated above the skin and is small enough, you can have it removed by shave biopsy, which will usually leave a smaller scar than the one you might get with an excisional biopsy. The trick is that you need an experienced practitioner to do this, since if they remove too much, you have a dent in your skin, and too little, and it grows back. Another way of removing moles is to do a punch biopsy. One question I would have for you is are you prone to forming keloids, which are a form of exuberant scarring? That might make a difference for you as well.
The only other question is whether the doctor would want to send it off to have a pathologist look at it, which would be an additional fee. Good luck!
Reply:That would be called a biopsy and it really is not that expensive but you should have insurance for it.
It won't leave a huge scar. For the first few days, it will look like a scab but it will then go away. If you really want to speed up the process, put on miderma (for kids - depending on how old you are).

Reply:A month is way to long to wait for the test results. Call the doctor and ask to get the results, they should be back by now. I had a biopsy done and had the results in two days. Call the doctor!

My son has a skin mole at the very top of his head.?
what does this mean?
My son has a skin mole at the very top of his head.?
If the son in infant, it can be 'baby acne' due to remaining hormones from mother's body.
Other occurrence which is similar to 'mole' is 'molluscum'.... skin mole type condition caused by virus which are temporary....and should go away in few months...
Reply:Nothing, but if it bothers you take him to a dermatologist.

Do in home skin mole removers work?
I wouldn't recommend it. You could get a serious infection if you tried it yourself. Please go see a doctor instead.
Do in home skin mole removers work?
Haha! That is crazy that u ask this qt, cuz I have the PERFECT solution for them!!! Well, this is an old grandma's remedy, but it works!!!!! And this will work with basically any mole! Grab either a thick strand of ur own hair, u can rip it off urself, or u can use a really thin string....But ur own hair works best....Tie the hair, into a knot, tightly around the mole (It may sting, cuz of the pressure***), and cut off any excess left of the hair, so it's not all draping around, especially if it's a very long strand of hair...Now, let the hair stay wrapped on the mole for no more than a week....Within a few days, u will see that the mole will start turning dark, almost black (and the reason why this is the case, is cuz the hair is cutting off circulation to the mole, thus forth, it is not being "fed" by blood anymore***), and within 4-5 days, it will fall off!!!! My Mom has done that, my Grandma, me, u name it! And it works every single time!!! I even did it to my best friend! She had the most horrendous, biggest, ugliest, nastiest mole that I had ever seen in my life, on the tip of her shoulder....For yrs, she was soo embarrassed to wear any tank tops or anything of that sort......So I convinced her to let me try this out on her...And she finally gave in...Within 3 days, the thing fell off!!!! And there was no bruising, no soreness in the area, NOTHING! Just perfect, clean skin! The only thing left behind was a small dot, where the mole had been...That is ALL! And till today, she still thanks me for that cheap, quick solution.....I hope my advice helps! I guarantee u, it WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ps: If u have the mole in an odd place, or it's hard to reach, like on ur back, have someone u feel comfortable with wrap the hair tightly around the mole....Also! The tighter it is wrapped, the quicker it will come off!!! And no!!!! You won't get any adverse reactions/results after it is off doing it this old fashioned way!!! I have done it for yrs, and even my doctor has looked at them, and he is amazed at the fact that it seems like there was no mole there ever!!!! So good luck! =)

I have a skin mole. Can it be removed at home?
No You need to see a dermatologist aka a skin doctor. I had a mole on my chin that doubled in size and would bleed. A doctor had to remove it. They usually use a scalpel or they can freeze it off depending on the size of it. And if they are concerned they would do a biopsy to see if it is cancerous or not.

No moles need to be removed in the docs office. Often it takes a stitch or two to close the wound and the doc will send it to the lab for testing if it is a suspicious one.
Reply:absolutely not....removing a skin mole should only be done by a doctor. under no circumstances should you try to do it yourself. you could wind up, hurting yourself pretty bad. if it bothers you, that much, then talk to a dermatologist.
Reply:Definitely not. Go to the doctor and get him to check your moles, and make a mole map for later reference. Unless moles are cancerous, they dont need removal.
