Hi there.

... so the other day .. I couldnt take it anymore .. and I removed 3 moles that were on my stomach ... I whiped them with alcohol ..... then cut them off with scissors ..... it wasnt too painful. ... has anyone ever done this ?..... will they grow back ? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Some grow back, some don't. My husband gets what I call "hangie moles" the skin flap kind that stick up. He will cut them off and sometimes they come back. I am assuming this is the type you have, since you cut them off with little pain. Not much help I know, but that's all I know about them.

Be carefull doing this. moles have a tendency to bleed alot and you are putting yourself at risk for infection. Most likely they will grow back.

Ouch, that sounds really painful! This does put you at risk for an infection. It's probably best to have a doctor remove them. I don't think they usually grow back when a doctor does it. I guess I am curious why you "couldn't take it anymore" and had to remove them yourself?
