Being the vain bastard that I am, I’ve got a lil mole on my neck I wanna get rid of. Did some searching and this shit called DermaTend seems to be the most popular
Just wondering if anyone has used it or anything similar?
Nothing wrong with wanting to get rid of a mole or something like that. You can also go whole hog and have it surgically removed.
nah, I don’t wanna do surgery for a little mole.
someone posted a homemade recipe for removing moles about a year or two ago.
Do a search for ‘skin tags’ and you should find it.
Hope it helps.
Must be some sort of acid. You’re probably better off just going to the doctor and just slicing it off. Your GP can do it.
Let’s be polite and say my face has lots of character, it’s been lived in, (some would go so far as to say it looks like a dropped pie) so vanity wasn’t the reason I had some moles removed.
Don’t be hesitant about the surgery, a GP should be able to do it under a local in a matter of minutes, no drama’s.
I had 33 moles and bumps lasered off my noggin’ in about 5 minutes and 2 larger moles cut off as well.
A smooth head and removed the risk of them turning into something worse.
What about what the mole thinks? Maybe it’s more natural to have the mole than to not have the mole. I would think long and hard about this before making a decision. Maybe you should use the money to get breast implants instead.

LMAO!
Damn, I was just about to eat… there went my appetite
If you have health insurance they’ll pay for it to be removed. All you have to do is say it gets irritated when clothes brush against it. I’ve had 4 taken off this way, and they’re healed in a week and a half tops.
I’ve had several moles taken off by a dermatologist. One, on my back, was large enough that she froze it first (liquid nitrogen) before removing it; the others she just sliced off. They heal pretty quickly and you’re left with a small white scar that fades over time.
If you’re covered by insurance, it’s easy to go that route. And if it looks funny (irregular borders, has recently grown larger, etc.) definitely go to the doctor so that it can be sent to the lab and checked to make sure it’s not cancerous.
But if it’s normal and it looks the same as it’s looked all your life, you could probably slice it off yourself with a sterile scalpel, if you knew what you were doing, i.e. exactly how deep to cut. I’ll tell you how my dermatologist does it, in case you want to give it a go:
First, she injects an anesthetic subcutaneously, right next to the mole. Besides numbing the area, she says it “puffs up the mole” making it easier to slice off.
Then, she pinches the area around the mole slightly, and cuts straight through underneath the base of the mole with a sterile scalpel. When she lets go, there’s a very slight concave depression where the mole used to be (which disappears after healing). Then just band-aid it and let it heal (of course change the band-aid every day).
Heck, twenty-five years of shaving “naturally” removed the two moles that used to be on my neck… although I ruined a lot of shirt collars over those years (damn moles bleed like hell when you nick them, and tend to start bleeding again during the work day if you so much as touch them…)
Oh, and by the way… if you do decide to try that DermaTend stuff, let us all know how it works.
