Asked By:27yearold in La Paz, Bolivia

I have two moles on my face, one small and the other big, both close to the lips. I'd like to know if it's dangerous to apply a peel over them. What should I do to protect them? cover them in the peel process? with what? Can the peel be agressive to the moles and cause cancer? Thanks.
