Moles

[tarhuni]

Hello everyone,

My case is that I have little tiny moles (warts or darts? don't really know what they are called) at the sides of my face.

These as I've been told and noticed, tend to grow bigger over time when they are exposed to sunlight. My mother has them. So does my grandmother (my mother's mom). I think I inherited it.

Two years ago I consulted my dermatologist and he said it can be treated by electric sessions? don't know if I can remember the correct name of the procedure. But he also said there is another alternative, which is by using some form of an acid sold in pharmacies.

He adviced using a toothpick after applying or dipping it into the acid, then targetting the exact spot of the mole/dart/wart... He said that they will then turn to white and fall off on their own.

Anyway, I got the acid but my mom got to use it before I do. What she noticed is that the ones/moles that stick out of the skin (kindda fully rounded non flat ones) turned into white and fell off. Great! But what sucks is that the other ones that are semi flat got even flatter and bigger in diameter.

Conclusion was that it is only to be used with the ones that are fully developed and that stick out of the surface of the skin. Well, I also have both the flat and the non flat ones. I want a non risky proven treatment.

I also have another different type of mole that was very tiny but started to grow bigger in time. It is on my cheek. Photo below:

I also heard it can be treated by laser,,, maybe the same procedure my doc mentioned when he said electrical (don't really know).

Anyway, I'd like to know what the best treatment is and its costs.


Thanks in advance,

Tarhuni
