Have weird bright red moles. Want them removed. Also some thread veins. Can I get 'em all done at once? Anybody know? Thanks.

Campbell De Morgan Spots. Can be removed by laser, apparently.

I have them as well and was told by my GP they were age related Sad Most of them are in places where the sun has never shone!

Unfortunately, there are age related Rassy, and I have far too many of them considering how incredibly young and glamorous I am.

I have had some campbell de morgans all my life. As a result, I am quite fond of them.

Dd1 had some when she was born but they disappeared within a couple of months.

I have one on my left thigh, and DD has just developed one. But she's only 11!

I have had one on my left breast since I was about 16.

Have noticed more since I became old crone more mature though.

Has anyone had one removed? Does it leave a scar?

I had a prominent, but small lumpy one removed, not any little tiny ones, this grew in a couple of years, went to the Dr to get it checked, was sent to get loads of moles checked at the hospital and was told they were all okay. I went back to the gp and asked to get the lumpy one removed, referred to hospital and they did it under local anaesthetic - it was painless but unpleasant! So many people in the room assisting/observing too.

I have a slight scar, but I don't feel self conscious about that - the lumpy red mole was pretty horrible and I struggled to hide it, my kids were fascinated and repulsed by it.

They did a biopsy(?) on that mole just to make sure it was okay too.

I wouldn't get a normal little red freckle removed. They look lovely.

ThatVikRinA22 · 25/04/2011 22:49

ive got them....and i keep finding new ones all the time!

gp also said they were age related.....when i went to him in my 20's!

Stuffedcat · 26/04/2011 10:21

How fascinating, I have lots of these (have done since my 20's) never knew what they were, I did once pick one with a pin on my finger (bled a bit wouldn't recommend that but it did go!) They are mainly on my trunk... and no I'm not an elephant. Smile

I don't like them. Don't mind other little brown freckles I have but the red ones are freaky and weird imo.

I think they look like red felt tip marks!
