I'm 14 with 6 moles on my right side of the face. You can literally play connect the dots with it. But it's really causing an issue with my self esteem, and it makes me have a higher risk of cancer. I asked my mom multiple times if I could have them removed but her answer is always 'No. Wait till your 18.' Of course I ask why.. And she says that my body is still changing and my moles would just grow back. So, is it true? Or can I get my moles removed now, and it won't come back?
