Which type of mole removal would be best for me and how should I go about it?
My life has been destroyed by moles on my face. I have 14 dark brown or black moles on my right side of my face and 10 on the left side. I have many light brown spots as well. I am 20 year old male and I am extraordinarily self conscious about them. I have no friends because I look like a total freak with a totally abnormal number of moles. I have white skin and am otherwise normal. I have no money but I am going to take out a loan from my parents in order to finance this since I simply can’t stand being so ugly by something which is entirely fixable. Pretending money isn’t an issue, which type of surgery is least likely to result in a scar? remember this is my face so I really want to make sure that the cure isnt worse than the disease (the scar isnt bigger or more noticeable than the moles). Is laser or surgery the better option? Can lasers remove moles that are cone shaped and deep in skin?

A bunch of moles does not make a person ugly. You probably have no friends because of your self consciousness. How many times have you seen guys who look worse than you with hot woman?I’m wondering why you have such a collection of moles and for how long you’ve had them. Have you never been to a doctor to have these evaluated? This sounds like something more serious than an isolated mole or two. i had two small moles removed from my hands. The doctor cut them off with a small scalpel and then cauterized the area with a laser. Its now about 2 months later and the spots where they were are just mildly discolored but flat.You definitely need to see a dermatologist and a cosmetic surgeon to get a full evaluation.You could have a few of the moles in the less conspicuous area removed first and see how you like the result and then decide. Until then stop being so down on yourself. There are many people with problems worse than yours that cant be solved through any means. You are young and sound intelligent and by having to suffer with this affliction you may have gained other qualities that may prove to be useful to you in the future, after all, looks are not everything. Good Luck!
i don’t know, but i understand where you’re coming from man. everyone’s a little self-concious about moles. hope you find the solution you’re looking for.
The best things is consult a dermatologist and let them examine
what kind of mole you have. Some moles could be cancerous
and need to be removed.
You need to look into getting health insurance or getting on your parents insurance as a dependent. Moles have to be surgically removed. It is not just a superficially discoloring on the skin that a laser would take care of. The mole and a little skin around it will be removed and stitched shut or they may use a liquid adhesive. Most likely your doctor will want to biopsy a few of the larger or darker ones to make sure they are not cancerous. Most things of this nature are covered by insurance when a doctor can deem it necessary for your health to remove them. Once healed though you may be left with an indented scar in the areas where the large ones are removed and poc like marks for the smaller ones. If you are really worried about scarring, consult a plastic surgeon who may be able to remove and stitch them in a way to further minimize scarring. When speaking with the doctor make sure you let him know what you expect to look like after the removal of the moles and that you are concerned with scarring. Also remember that moles are hereditary and though you have those removed you may develop more in the future. I am sure a good doctor will be able to find the right option for you and most plastic surgeons can establish a payment plan as well.
