mole on eyebrow ~ should it be removed? Posted: 12-03-07 21:24pm
I have been wanting to get this removed
for the longest time being that is on my
eyebrow and I was browsing the web looking
for any information on what type of mole
this is and if it's a bad idea to remove
it. Any help is appreciated thanks. I
included a link to a picture of me.

Is this mole flat or raised?
Do you have it since birth?

Yes to both. I have had it since I was
born and yes it is also raised.
Underneath the hair it is that normal
brown color that moles are. Thanks

Still looking for more information on
this, curious on what the scar might look
like and if it's in a bad location that I
should leave it alone.

Doctors say to beware of the ABCDs if you
are looking for possible problematic
moles. They are:
Asymmetry: If the mole is not symmetrical,
there could be a higher risk of cancer
Border: Make sure moles have regular
borders. If part of the mole is
zig-zagged, or crooked, it should be
checked.
Color: There should be no purple, blues,
greens, red, or whites in any of the mole
Diameter: A mole should be checked if its
diameter is larger than the head of a
pencil eraser.
Hope this helped!

Just looked at the picture you posted and
following those rules, you should
definitely get it checked out or removed.
It's diameter is much larger than the head
of an eraser and it looks to have an
irregular border.

I'll have to make an appointment soon, I
had thought in my mind of removing it
after october because i'm getting married
in October, but seeing those ABCD's I
think i'll make an appointment. Anyone
else want to throw anything else out there
for me, please do thanks

Hi Posted: 03-11-08 14:25pm
First off, congratulations on your
upcoming wedding! From what I can see,
this is a birth mark, not really a common
mole. I would tell you to find a reptuable
dermotologist and ask their opinion. They
will be able to advise you on hte many
ways of taking this off. It does not take
away form your face....you have a very
nice looking face! Wonderful smile! I have
had so many places removed and surgically
removed its not funny. As for the ABCD's
in moles....this "discoloration/cell
mutation" you were born with and as you
grew, it has grown. I would still seek a
professional if you are in the least
considering having it removed. I would
think having it frozen off in segments,
would be the least invasive/damage to the
other healthy skin cell areas. But, hey,
I'm only a Fairy*Godmother! Keep us posted
and good luck to you and your lucky bride!
Hugs!

Thank you for the congrats, i'm very
excited. The only reason I haven't had it
removed yet is the fear of having some
nasty looking mark on my face. Even if I
could get the brown of the mole the color
of my skin, I think I would be happy.
Anything on the market that can change the
color of a birthmark lol. Thanks for the
response and as soon as I get to the
doctors I will post and let you know my
decision. Thanks

Hi again Posted: 03-11-08 15:18pm
What about tattoo? I'd first consult a
dermotologist to ensure this is nothing
more than a miscoloration. Then, I'd ask a
tattoo artist what they thought. I know
our (Yes Fairy*Godmother's have TATS)
tattoo artist can do scar/skin
pigmentation recoloration. Its kinda of a
new process I am told. A lot of physicans
do not like it, but what the hey...if it
works and is not bad for you....getter
done! I am pretty sure they can lazer this
off. Might have a little red place there
for a bit, nothing makeup couldn't hide!
Good luck Sweetie!

Everything is now healed and I felt like
sharing a picture with everyone. I
couldn't be happier now that this is
finished, 3 more months to the wedding so
everything should look good. Thanks
Im amazed at the results of your picture!
I too have a mole on my eyebrow, mine is
about 4cm long and about 2cm wide. Ive had
it since birth and grown as i have!
Im considering having it removed but i
will have to wait till im 18. Im not sure
if its worth doing though, im worried i
might have a scar.
