A member asked:

I have a medium hairy mole in my face . it's a problem if i pluck the hairs with tweezers?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Removal: If the mole is a problem due the hair, please see a doctor to have it removed. Plucking hair may irritate the nevus and hide any problems that may develop.

OK: OK to pluck the hairs. Or remove them in other ways. This will NOT cause the hair to grow faster or thicker. Sometimes it can be a bit irritating, but this will heal. Girls usually hate facial hair.
