thinking of getting a mole on my hand removed, is it safer than having it?!


Question: Thinking of getting a mole on my hand removed, is it safer than having it?
anything else i should know or take into consideration? can you still get cancer from it later? will having it removed increase the chances of it being cancerous?

Answers:

The only reasons to get a mole removed is if the dermatologist is concerned it is dangerous, you have symptoms like pain or itch, you don't like the appearance or it gets traumatized frequently. Most moles are not dangerous. Most skin cancers arise spontaneously, though some come within preexisting moles. If it is not cancer when it is removed and it is fully removed, there should be no increased risk of cancer at that site. Other considerations are infection and scarring.



i dont think so.
