People with giant moles on their faces

You know, I’m usually one to poo poo the mole removal people, but watching Roswell, New Mexico I do catch myself distracted by Christine Branski’s offspring and wonder why with all her mother’s wealth and cosmetics surgery connections they never choose to do anything? Poor people it’s not their fault, but she’s practically a Hollywood princess. And then I noticed that the actress who plays Rosa who started at the end of season one, has two very prominent facial moles. I feel like maybe the mole actress maybe forced their hand to hire her to down grade her own mole, or maybe she doesn’t have any in real life, but make her for the show to distract away from the Branski offspring? It’s a whole mole distraction on that show. At least as a alien they could make it have a secret power or something.

I don't mind the moles. It's the dark hairs growing out of them that disgust me.

The alternative is a scar.

I had one on my jawline removed.

It grew back.

🤷🏻

Get a pair of pliers and grip the mole tightly. .. and TWIST! Basically unscrew it from your face.

Someone let me know if this works.

TIA!

I had an interview for a job and the woman interviewing me had one the size of a pencil eraser on one eyebrow. It made me realize 1. She didn’t have very good health insurance and 2. The company didn’t pay her well enough to take care of it.

I didn’t take the job.

The other time I was in line for the new iPhone years ago and the woman in front of me also waiting had a giant malignant one plastered to her cheek. She bought three.

Because priorities.

R6 Well I bet when she holds the phone very strategically she hides the mole really well. I just hope it doesn’t take all three.

Because you could end up with this:

They're called beauty marks, silly.

Moles are sexy.

R3 = former DL fave Drew Brees

[quote] They're called beauty marks, silly.

They certainly enhance RL Stine's beauty!

Maybe people don't have the money or insurance to get it done. Or maybe they don't care.

It always depends where they are. they actually can enhance a beautiful person's looks (cf. Cindy Crawford), but they can also look awful.

The one on RL Stine's head looks terrible, but would be really look beautifuul without it? he could enhance his appearance by getting better galsses and a buzz job on what remains of his hair, but I doubt he cares.

One thing that's always hard for Dataloungers to remember is that other people do not exist to aesthetically please you. They have the ethical right to look as they want to look, so long as they're not shoving their looks in your face (like Lens Dunham and Lizzo do) and demanding you find them beautiful.

Watch Dr. Pimple Popper. Most of her patients have had disfiguring and disabling bumps for years before they see her. Many of them are scared of, or don’t trust, doctors. Insurance doesn’t cover cosmetic procedures.

Val Kilmer was beautiful back in the day, but I could never understand why he didn't remove his John-Boy sized mole on his jaw. Then again, that wouldn't have stopped me.

Can someone address that thing on Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s face? She wanted it to get billing over me.

R6, did you biopsy her mole right there in the line?

Because inconvenient.

Moles are much to worry about, it’s the giant capybaras you need to be on the look out for.

Depending on the location and size of the mole, I'd much rather have a scar. A modest scar can be sexy; a mole is never sexy.

I have a small dark mole right in the middle of my right cheek. It doesn't bother me though and I'm not getting it removed. I do have to pluck out some 2-3 hair strands every once in a while but that's about it. I embrace it.

^^ right cheek of my face, I mean.

R18, I have lots of moles and the angry, raised ones that have irregular borders or larger than an eraser tip are dangerous to leave unattended.

The pliers for you, r23!

gross. if i ever had a mole with hair growing out of it i would see a dermatologist ASAP. I once worked with a woman that had one on her face near her lip. It's the only thing i could look at and i tried so hard not to when she would talk to me.

[quote] I once worked with a woman that had one on her face near her lip. It's the only thing i could look at and i tried so hard not to when she would talk to me.

I only had one, but had it burned off in seconds at Kaiser. Easy, peasy.

No reason to run around looking uglier than necessary.

I had 2 beautiful moles right next to each other.

[quote] I only had one, but had it burned off in seconds at Kaiser

Things were better under the Kaiser knife.

Moles? With all of the homeless encampments these days, simply bring yourself down, find a rat and let it gnaw the mole(s) off of you.

It’s BEYOND oft putting to see. There’s no excuse to keep those hideous targets on their faces and necks. I worked with a woman who has the sticking out brown one on her neck and her cheap ass gold plated chain would stick on it since it stuck out. I could never eat when she was around. Same as people with warts, beauty (ugly) marks… anything that says “take a dart 🎯 to me” gross

It worked for us.

My neighbor has one right in the middle of his cheek, about the size of a nickel. I've lived here 13 years and it has grown.

People don't know you can freeze those things off?

Bitch, it helped my career.

On someone iconic, such as myself, it can only be called a beauty mark.

I had two raised moles on my head removed. Seeing as my hair covers them anyway they just shaved them flat rather than cutting them out. . Best decision ever.

What's the difference between moles, warts and beauty marks?

Homely, Witch, Movie Star R37

It's the flesh colored ones I find repulsive. They're like tumors on your face. Just cut them off. A scar is preferable to me.

Now a small dark mole in the right place is fine and can be interesting. But those out of control or in a ridiculous place - cut them off.

How about that thing between Russell Crowe's eyebrows? I mean WTF. A man can easily carry a scar.

R14, "cf." means "compare for a different position", so you're basically saying Cindy Crawford's mole makes her look ugly.

Tom Holland had the one on his chin removed.

[quote] Tom Holland had the one on his chin removed.

He needs to have the one on his neck removed too.

That's a thumb.

Moley Russell's Wart, at your service.

Without plastic surgery, you get scars left behind and you don’t know what it will look like until after the removal. I guess fine if it’s just one being removed, but if it’s more I can understand why people take the better the devil you low approach!

If you're a woman you can cover a small scar with makeup. If you're a man you can either cover it with a beard (depending on location) or just accept the scar that makes you look distinguished.

But a giant dark or flesh colored mole?! You can't cover that very easily. It seeks out people to devour.

[quote]People with giant moles on their faces ... Why don't they get those things removed??

People who criticise the physical appearance of others ... why don't they get therapy for redirecting their judgment to avoid dealing with their own insecurities?

Answer: they can't be bothered.

I had to get one on my nose removed because it suddenly tripled in size over the course of a couple of weeks and there was a skin cancer concern. It was unpigmented and not very noticeable when I got it at about age 10, but did get a little larger over the years. The removal left a dent in my nose, a bump of scar tissue, and a scar but that wasn't a big deal.

They didn't remove all of it though, and here we are, 10 years later, and it's coming back, just like it did when I was 10 years old. Now I have the dent, scar tissue, scar, AND a mole. I can see why people don't get them removed. I wouldn't have if I hadn't been really concerned about the cancer potential.

R47 I wondered how long it would be until we had some Twitter-style shaming response!

R48 but you had ten full years of mole-free beauty.

[quote]I'm guessing you have a huge, hairy mole somewhere visible

No, I don't, R49. But, it's telling that is what runs through your mind.

R51 I just can't talk to you with that giant thing on your face.

[quote]I just can't talk to you with that giant thing on your face.

I just can't talk to anyone as delusional as you. Bye.

They have roots that dig in deep, so they need to be scooped out completely, leaving a concavity. Otherwise they just grow back.

Health insurance won’t pay for them to be excised unless they appear cancerous. I have a few that are clearly not candidates and I just let them be. Unlike many hideous tattoos, I didn’t choose to put my moles where they are. We all have to look at ugly things. Tough.

On the plus side: people with moles live longer. Something about telomeres.

Alex Wolff = sexy mole

R55 Is he getting butt fuck there and not in missionary because his partner doesn’t want to look at the mole?

They can come back. You can scar.

Not everyone gives a fuck.

[quote] The alternative is a scar.

That seems to be a common misconception. I had a mole near my nose burned off, no scar whatsoever.

I think you run into a problem when you go the shaving route, a la R8. That has a higher chance for scars. The burn/freeze method is the way to go.

I thought the mole people referred to the underground subway dwellers in NYC, but this is giving a whole new meaning.

R31 Exactly. As a kid I remember going to Thrifty's to get an ice cream cone. There was a stout woman with a mustache and a hideous mole above her lip with hair growing out of it. Whenever she was there working the ice cream counter I'd completely lose my appetite and leave. So gross.

What's with the hair in the moles? Can't people afford a pair of tweezers?

I gag as I write this, and it maybe an urban myth, but as a child I remember being told never to pull out a hair in a mole that it could lead to bad things.

Enrique Iglesias got the big one on his cheek removed. I bet he was tired of every caricature of him having this huge spot on his face.

I hate when I’m watching a fine ass on tv then he turns his head and bam! This sticking out brown shit looking thing on his neck just pops on the screen and I’m instantly grossed out.

I don't know much, but I know this is disgusting to look at.

I know it used to be conventional wisdom that it was better to leave some moles alone—that they might be pre-cancerous but dormant and removal could activate the cancer. I have no idea if there was any medical truth to that.

I had 3 moles removed when I was a teenager. They never grew back and didn’t scar, but my beard doesn’t grow where they were.

Neither moles nor warts have roots R54. That simply is not true.

There's a wonderful actress named Michael Hyatt who I am happy to see in any role when I see her but I am always taken aback and initially distracted by a giant mole on the side of her chin. I eventually don't notice it but the next time I see her I am focused on it all over again. Which makes me an asshole because she's fantastic.

R54 Medically incorrect

Reminds me of Lunch Lady Land.

Sorry to hear that, R70.

She was great in The Wire, Rescue Chick.

Amazingly so r74! I completely agree

R61 there was a local kiosk coffee place that had a girl who didn't shave her armpits, rode a bike, and wore sleeveless tank tops. I could never order anything there when she was working. Kept imagining one of her fragrant armpit hairs ending up in my mocha.

R76 What if it was a guy in a sleeveless tank top?

r77 still disgusting. And don't get me started on all the pictures guys have on Instagram now with their arms over their heads showing off their hairy armpits.

[quote] there was a local kiosk coffee place that had a girl who didn't shave her armpits, rode a bike, and wore sleeveless tank tops. I could never order anything there when she was working. Kept imagining one of her fragrant armpit hairs ending up in my mocha.

This is what hair nets were invented for. We need armpit nets.

Gloria Swanson had a famous mole on her face - a little too late for her to worry about it now, though.

Janet Jackson used to move her mole around to different sides of her lip

R80, a discrete little mole in a non-offensive place is not the same as others. Nothing like the one in OP's picture.

When did Madonna get rid of the mole above her lip?

Here's an investigation taken by Madonna fans.

What's with all the "burning/freezing" talk? Isn't that just for tiny spots? I had something like that taken off in the dermo's office using liquid nitrogen, but everything else, I went to a very well-regarded plastic surgeon for. I had a bunch of moles and bumps I wanted taken care of, and every one of them was cut and stitched. The surgeon never mentioned burning/freezing as an option, I'm sure because it was not a good one.

Was that Brianna, R75? It has to be--because I was totally fixated on that thing, too.

And how about Richard Thomas? Why wouldn't they even cover that thing up with makeup? Was everyone afraid to bring it up?

I think we all know which poster this is.

R67 that is utter BS

I mean a flat dot is no prob (though I have one myself and would rather not). But a protruding one I do find unattractive (maybe because some of my relatives have them?)

I do feel shallow for not liking them, though.

[quote]I do have to pluck out some 2-3 hair strands every once in a while

I wouldn't do that, if a mole gets irritated it can become cancerous. Shave the hairs with an electric razor instead.

I wasn't bothered by Richard Thomas' dark spot. He had an amazing ass. That's where I looked first.

Phoebe Snow had several moles on her face. They were prominently featured on the striking illustration of her face that was the album cover for her first record. I thought they gave her face character and distinction. Not unattractive at all.

r86, yes!

I once slept with a man who had a mole on his frenulum (the loose skin behind and under his cock head.) It was fun to have my fingers play with it. He came with a huge, forceful load, and then I did, too. Some of the hottest sex ever.

R68, that's terrible for a young girl.

We hope the bad spots have been easily covered by hats through the years.

It's a living thing!

You can watch its heart beat - you evil murderer!

R89 why would you feel shallow for not finding a skin disorder attractive?

I'm reminded of the model Winnie Harlow that was a judge on Making the Cut (the new Project Runway, on Amazon Prime) . She's beautiful, except she has vitiligo, and in clear acts of performative virtue you see her leading major advertising campaigns, even though the vitiligo is visible on her face and makes her look as if she has a white goatee. It's impossible not to see. It is not attractive.

I'm sure there are some people in the world who genuinely are turned on by people with vitiligo, but I don't think that's what the industry is going for. Yes, she's different, but the point of a model is to sell clothing and other products - if you're paying more attention to the skin condition it would seem to defeat that purpose. Unless of course you have consumers who also are trying to look or be supportive so they buy the (always) branded product. But I would be surprised if it was enough to boost sales.

You have people bending over backwards to say how beautiful she is, though. And she is! Except...

[quote]I wasn't bothered by Richard Thomas' dark spot. He had an amazing ass. That's where I looked first.

And it was so wet and breedable!!!

moles below the waist are supposed to be more prone to cancer.

I went to a teen camp one year and this girl had moles covering her face. They were huge. I had never seen something like that before.

I could've sliced them off for her.

I had a ring of moles removed from my neck. Ugly in front and barbers occasionally cut the ones in back making them bleed. I felt a little queasy afterwards in the doctor's office and I remember the doctor yelling out 'Nurse, get in here, we have a fainter!"

How did you have them removed?

OP screw you for making me look at the pic of RL Stine multiple times now. WTF man.

R103 I was as shocked as you by the giant, prominent mole!

It doesn't come through in his writing.

But now I wonder... Did he write the novels, or was it the mole?

I had a mole on my neck/chest area removed. I was born with it and when I was a teenager, I noticed it started to grow bit by bit as time went on...I had it removed. I got a couple of stitches and it's totally fine now.

I know a friend in high school had a lot of moles on her face...I saw her after she had multiple moles on her face removed. They were tiny ones, like over 10 on her face and she told me the doctor used laser and burned them off. they looked like chicken pox marks afterwards and then they healed. her face is flawless now.

The mole doesn't sway me from wanting him.

I had a centimeter sized mole next to my nose until I was 30. When I was younger, my parents offered to remove it, and a very rude woman said to me once, “Why don’t you get that removed?! when I was a pre teen. Nice. I refused from sort of a punky, adolescent attitude of I’m not changing myself for you! Never got in the way of sex or relationships. Then one day I felt like, I’ve lived like this for 30 years, let’s see what life is life without it. I was lucky to get a doc to cover its removal with insurance. It didn’t really make any big difference, and some days I think it’s still there. The Austin Powers scene did make me feel weird, though.
