Olive oil: Olive oil is not a good treatment to lighten scars and moles.

Question 3

when should i start worrying about my moles some are small clear, and some are small and brown

Accepted Answer

The : The classic signs to consider is the size, shape, color, and behavior of the mole.  Moles to worry about are larger than a pencil eraser, an irregular shape like texas or florida and not round or oval, have a change in color or is dark, dense black, are growing in size, bleeding, or in areas of irritation such as clothing friction lines.  Please do not limit visits to your physician for moles only with these characteristics.  Your physician will be more than happy to see you to evaluate any mole that bothers or worries you.  Peace of mind is good.

Accepted Answer

Is it bothersome?: Keloids are enlarged scars that are larger than the original wound. They  form for unknown reasons and are generally harmless but can become itchy or uncomfortable.  If your keloid is bothersome for you, then there a variety of treatment options that are available to you.  If it does not bother you, then you can leave it and not worry about it.

Question 8

had mole removed - came back dysplastic but no mention if margins clear.  visually clear so dr. did not take any further biopsy/margins.  should they?
