I have a brown mole that is larger than I would like right in the middle of my forehead. I have had it since birth so it has really become part of my identity. I dont mind having it at all, I just wish it was slightly smaller. Is there any way to reduce its size or even lighten the color of it? I would hate to have to part with it completely. Thanks.
I've had this birthmark since I was born, it's flat but pretty dark and big. I got it shaved off (I don't think that was a good idea in retrospect) but it just grew back, and lightening it with a Q switch laser made no difference. I really want it gone, what can I do?
How soon after a mole is shaved from face, can I start using prescription products all over my face (such as hydroquinone)? I got three moles shaved and already one mole developed a dark spot. Can I immediately start using hydroquinone to lighten the dark spot? If not, how many days should I wait before apply hydroquinone to my face?
I have a very small begnign mole on my face (I had it cheched by a dermatologyst). It is about 1mm diameter and flat, but very dark, and I would like it to lighten it. I heard that by applying lemon juice or pineapple juice on it 3/4 times a day it could bleach a bit. Is it safe to try this method? The worst thing that can happen is that it could not work?
I've had a mole removed only two days ago, and aside from parts of it that are slightly scabby there is dark pigmentation left over in the shape of the original mole. I know the area will likely always be pigmented darker than my skin tone, but should I expect the current pigmentation to lighten more during the healing process, or is this simply what I am permanently left with?
