Question 1

what does it mean if you get a pimple after a mole was removed ?

Accepted Answer

Probably nothing.: Pimples are very common and it is probably not related directly to mole removal.

Question 2

Question 3

can you get a pimple underneath a mole? i have a mole that just developed a bump like a pimple.  after i took a hot shower it drained a little.

Pimple: Yes a pimple or cyst may develop under an existing mole. If  the mole itself is changing size, color , or shape , and /or the "bump" described does not resolve , have it examined by a dermatologist.

Pimples under a mole: Pimples could occur anywhere on the skin, though more acne prone skin generally is more oily skin.

Question 5

hi, i recently developed a mole on my head. it started as a pimple now a mole. 
please advise on what i can do to get it removed.

thank you.

Accepted Answer

: You should see a skin doctor, known as a dermatologist. A skin doctor can diagnose and remove your “mole”. Once removed, it can be sent to a lab for further testing, if needed. So, see a skin doctor to have it evaluated and removed. Best of luck to you!

Question 6

i have a pimple right on my nose for almost a month and it won't go away. now it looks more like a mole but it is a pimple, how can i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

See a Derm : If you have a persistent strange lesion of the skin for over a month, i would recommend having it checked out by a dermatologist.  They are able to look at it and let you know the next steps to safe diagnosis and removal if necessary.

Question 7

hello. i have a mole on my neck. it's very small and it sticks out and you can wiggle it. i heard that if you try to pop it like a pimple it will bleed. i've had it or years. how can i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

See MD: This may require a biopsy but it may be a skin tag.

Question 8

raised mole on back - appearance unchanged over many years. this morning had little white spot on top n little tenderness. can moles get whiteheads?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is possible but i would have it checked out by a dermatologist to make sure it's not something that needs to be tested/biopsies.

Question 9

about a month ago i had a pimple under a mole.the pain of the pimple went away, but the area around my mole is still slightly swollen is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Need for check up: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Any change in a mole needs to be checked out.

Question 10

i have a pimple under a mole on my face and super thin layer of my skin around and on the mole is peeling little by little is that normal?

Accepted Answer

You can always ask: your PCP or skin doctor about this since it requires a physical exam of the moles you're talking about. Also dermatologists do mole mapping to help keep track of this. Most moles don't peel. So, that's unusual, and it may be another type of skin lesion that looks like a mole, but isn't. So start with your doctor first, and let that pimple's inflammation heal a little more.
