I'm just over 23 years old, and have begun
to get serveral moles over the right half
of my body.
One is on my right collar bone, one is on
my spine just below my shoulder blade, and
the newest is on my right shoulder blade
(the upper part of it).
They were all flaky when they began, but
the newest one did bleed a bit when it was
'born'. My Mother had a mole on her temple
that was skin cancer, but also has a few
others that are not. My two older ones are
'normal' as they are round, not flat. My
new one is irregular. Almost like a square
but indented in the very middle. I also
have occassional Excema on my left hand,
if that factors in at all..
I'd say the one of my collar bone is about
a year old? Can't really remember that
one.. The one on my spine is likely 8-9
months, and my shoulder one is fairly
new.. 2-3 months?
I read around first, and it says most
moles have grown by the age of 20.. And
I'm just now breaking out in them.. Keep
checking my body pratically daily now to
see if anything else pops up..
Anyone have any ideas? Lol. It's kind of
weird..

I had a sore on my lip for quite some time
and went to the doctor for something not
pretaining to the sore. While I was there
I said by the way I have had this sore on
my lip that peels but keeps coming back.
It was very sore. The doctor took one
look at it and said it was cancer and I
needed to get it off immediately. He said
he didn't think I had caught it in time
and put his arm around me. I completely
freaked out of course!
I went to a plastic surgeon the next day
and he did a biopsy. Two days later he
had me back in his office and told me I
had squamous cell carcinoma and it would
have to be removed. He scheduled it for
that week. They took half of my bottom
lip off and brought some of my top lip to
the bottom and sewed my mouth shut accept
for a little spot where I could put a
straw. After two weeks they opened it up
and did more surgery. I had plastic
surgery for the next year but I was lucky
I got it in time. I guess I am going on
and on about something that probably
required a simple answer but I wanted to
get my point across that it is very
important to get to a doctor early. Do
not ignore it. Twelve years later I had
to have a squamous cell removed from the
other side of my mouth but didn't have to
have the flap surgery. Reason being I had
gotten into the doctor immediately.
Please get it checked out.

Oh jeeze!
Heh. Hope you're doing alright now,
though!
I forgot about the tiny tiny smooth bump
below my left ear.. I've never seen any of
my moles as I'm too petrified to look at
them.
Yeah, will likely get them checked out
soon as I get some insurance set up from
work.

I had one on my temple removed, then I got
more moles that popped up. My doctor told
me they were not cancerous and that they
would charge to have them removed. My
nurse told me she uses molepaste (#1
natural mole and wart remover) at home
(cosmetic only) only if the doctor has
said they are not cancerous. It cauterizes
them with an herbal cream within 20
minutes and worked fantastic.

After asking my doc about a couple moles
and him saying they were benign and not to
worry about them, the nurse who is a good
friend told me about itworkspaste for
removal of these. You use it at home and
it works great- no problems afterwards,
just no moles.

Hi There!
Yes it worked great with no problems. It
only stung for a few seconds after I first
applied it. I already ordered another kid
and got the emuscar with it. Good stuff.

Hi Jenzie,
I am thinking you meant the scab? It was
around 10 or 12 days I believe for the
scab to fall off if I remember right. I
used the emuscar after that to help heal
it. I'm not positive if I did that part
right - maybe you are supposed to use it
right after the paste - at any rate, it
worked well and there is only a very faint
area that I can barely see where a mole
was on one and I can't even see where the
other one was.

Sorry Shannon62, I did mean scab and not
scar....my bad! Well, I've read that most
people used the emuscar after the scab
fell off from the itworkspaste, but others
started to apply it around the area to
soften it more. the main thing is not to
pick the scab.
