Q: Hairy Moles

asked by: GaryD on February 1st, 2007

I have a mole on my cheek and it is starting to grow thick hairs on it. I heard that if you shave or pluck the hairs they grow back bigger, thicker and quicker. Is this true and can I shave them or pluck them? Smile

thanks

Hey there gary. Sure you can pluck them or shave them...Shaving will be much less painfull. If it gets irritated I would see a Dr. About it. Also if its on your cheek I probably wouldnt want to mess with it as thats a very sensitive area and you dont want scaring. See a Dr. About removing it or some other remedy. Best of luck. ^_^
