It;'s courtesy of DS2, who is now nearly 2.

It;s been growing silently since that pregnancy, the fucker is HUGE now.

It;'s on my side. Big and fleshy and flappy.

I catch it on my clothes and it stops me showing off my otherwise amazeballs bikini bod in public, donchaknow.

Shall I fuck it off with the nail clippers?

If youse dare me I will do it.

Even Bear Grylls would think twice about a skin tag on the face. That's proper hardcore.

I have just seen you can buy mole remover from amazon.

You stab moles 50 times with a pin, apply this stuff, and it burns them off.

WHY would you bloody well do that at home? That can't be safe can it?

Are they like Amyl nitate?

You can't go stabbing moles. Sad

LeGavrOrf · 21/09/2013 23:08

Granulated scar tissue, that's what it was apparently.

Hurt like hell.

I think there is still a HOLE into my stomach through the belly button as it bleeds sometimes. Perhaps an alien will poke his little face out one day and surprise me.

Why 50? Would it not work with 49? Which executive worked out that magic number?

Would you not just snip though? fifty stabs? That's some serious self loathing there.

Gives you a banging headache.

BigPigLittlePig · 21/09/2013 23:09

Fenton ditto.

Times have changed. This is not how I used to spend my Saturday nights.

Silver nitrate is the mutts nuts. But stings like a motherfucker.

I could happily stab Hugh FW. He's a mole. The grubby little curly haired article.

Stabbing moles is wrong. But is it ok if they are Skin Tags pretending they are moles?

reelingintheyears · 21/09/2013 23:10

Oh god Gav, I have a horror of belly buttons, a proper phobia.

That makes me want to cry.

Does it hurt?

This is copied and pasted from amazon from a LUNATIC who burned off her facial moles

After reading the reviews on amazon.com as there was more feedback on that site, I decided to just give this product a try.
I am prone to moles due to a hereditary condition and so with each summer I notice more and more moles forming. Looking in the mirror I always notice them and delete all photos where they are too visible. The ones that I am desperate to remove are the ten on my face.
I received this product and was surprised by the small tube of actual product; I also received a toothpick and a nail file and also the healing balm.

I threw away the toothpick and instead sterilised a needle. I had a shower and then dried the skin on and around the mole. I decided to treat two small moles on either side of my face. I poked the moles with a needle around fifty times till there was a slight bleeding and then lightly filed the moles, however I must admit this was painful.
Having squeezed the tube of product and released some of the air (as in the instructions), I squeezed the product till the thick gunky product came out (if you only apply the liquid then it doesn't work) and applied it carefully to the two moles and then left it there ten minutes more than was specified.
Washing off the product I didn't notice any change and went to bed with low expectations however in the morning the texture of the moles had changed, both becoming slightly darker and feeling rougher to the touch.
The next few days both moles turned darker and darker and so appeared more visible however I didn't mind this stage as I knew that soon they would be falling off. I must admit they did become itchy but I was careful that they didn't fall off too early. It took about six days for the first mole to come off however I caught it when I was getting changed, the mole came off in one go and in its place was a red mark that from far away still looked like the mole was there however I discovered with a green based concealer and then foundation I was able to cover over the mole as though it had never been there. I also ordered from amazon Dermatix Silicone Gel Scar Reduction 15g and started applying that daily. The other mole took longer to come off and because it had enough time to heal there was no noticeable mark when it finally came off in one go.

Shock

Toothpick? Shock

LeGavrOrf · 21/09/2013 23:13

It hurts a bit sometimes. I'm too scared to look really, it might be a wormhole to another dimension.

Like stargate.

EstoyAqui · 21/09/2013 23:14

"I was careful that they didn't fall off to early" WTF, either you want them gone or not. No time for a farewell party.

People are mental

Fenton · 21/09/2013 23:14

I had a long zip stitch when I had a huge ovarian cyst removal extravaganza, it opened up like the Grand Canyon and the Doc on the check up said 'oh you have stretched your scar'

Not me you arsehole - your surgeon.

Still tender now.

Tossers.

BigPigLittlePig · 21/09/2013 23:14

Am I the only one who feels really quite funny about the prospect of sticking needles into my own moles ???? Envy

LeGavrOrf · 21/09/2013 23:16

I had a big ovarian cyst removed when it blew up.

Lots of internal bleeding so they stuck a pipe in my side to drain the blood.

Interesting walking to the loo dragging my drip trolley and my bucket of blood whilst off my nut on morphine.

LeGavrOrf · 21/09/2013 23:17

Why didn't they put a catheter in?

I have never had a catheter.

Are they nice?
