yes it is safe..as long as you go to a Dermatologist (skin doctor)as they have special training doing it.mush safer than how they used to do it..which was to freeze it and scrap or cut it off...it can be done right in the office,some will do it the first visit.It doesn't take very long to do.\n I have light skin and have had a few flat moles removed to test for skin cancer.....had it done both ways...the laser didn't hurt very much..the scraping/cutting did as it is like any scrap or cut...cutting they may stitch it up...and it can leave a scar.

um i guess you can go to a dermatologist if you mean by pimples on your face or if you mean your whole face then youll have to see the doctors who perform laser surgery

i studied the skin in anatomy and physiology...pigment cells (like cells of a mole) are on the very last layer of the epidermis (1st layer). laser will help prevent scaring becasue it uses light to break up these pigment cells. regular surgery is more likely to cause scaring since these pigment cells are so close to the dermis (2nd layer of skin; if cut it can easily be scared)...also since u r dark skined many dermatologist won't recomend laser surgery since all of your skin has these pigment cells, therefore the laser can differentiate between mole pigment cells and your regular skin pigment cell

Its indeed a precancerosis, a lot of people have it, especially those who have been in the sun a lot in their lifes, its easily removed with a laser, so if you have some, you should best contact a dermatologist

That sounds very serious and painful..if I were you I think I would get a second opinion because with all the things that they have in the medical world you may can have them removed by laser surgery...check it out.

Mine look like a little white marbles the size of a pinhead just under my lower eyelid.  (very different from a sty)  They can last for weeks or even months at a time.\n\nI get these from time to time.  They never go away on there own and eventually become painful when I apply makeup.  I get them just under my bottom eyelid.  I ususally take a pair of tweezers and gently squeeze them. I do not pull on my skin, just pinch the "marble" under the skin   It take me a few tries but they do come out.  If your extrememly careful you will not harm your skin. I have never had any bleeding or bruising afterwards.  You might consider cleaning your tweezers with alcohol before you use them.\n\nPS I think it has more to do with heredity than diet or cleaning your face.  These are not your normal pimple like bumps as you probably aleady know.\n\nI also get tiny tab moles on my neck and upper chest from time to time.

Have you been to your Dr. and have him/her a look at it to see if it's cancerous or not? Also the Dr would be the best to ask about the laser surgery too. All the best and good luck to you.

My best fried was diagnosed with melanoma.  She spent many years tanning when she was younger.  She had several moles removed about five or six years ago and has been fine since that time.  There have been many advances in the treatment of melanoma.  Take care.

Yip there is an easy way to make it look better without spending a lot of money on surgery.Go to your pharmacy and buy some BIO oil or sometimes they call it tissue oil.It is a very good vitamen A oil that you put on youre scar and in time it will heal the scar and skin.I had really bad burns on my back ones from hot oil spilling on me, and there is no burn marks anymore.Good luck

I have neurofibromatosis and have had Gamma Knife laser surgery for a tumor that kept growing after two open head surgeries. It was so much better than being cut open. I stayed one night in the hospital, as opposed to a week with the other procedures. I had no scaring on my head whatsoever, no regrowth of the tumor. It is important to discuss the risks of this type of surgery with your doctor. And only the doctors that perform this procedure can tell if you are a candidate for it by looking at MRI's. Good Luck to you.

if u already have them, try to life with them, i spend $$$$ on them, but they didn't move a bit, and a laser gave me an extra scar . but u can prevent it by not gaining and losing weight all the time too and moisturise ur body frequently will help a little.

I dont't think getting a laser treatment that young is a good idea. Also there are side effects think how important it is first and if its worth it. talk to a dermatologist for more info.

Yes that is completely normal, Just make sure you keep an eye on your mole to monitor the size, shape and colour of it though.\nIf you notice any changes in it's appearance get it checked by your doctor.

I've had a few moles removed. I had two sliced off and that was quite easy and didn't leave much of a scar - just a white spot. The other two I had cut out and that was less easy but still nothing major. My Mum had a melanoma removed. She has a big hole in her leg but fortunately it hadn't spread. Get any moles you're vaguely worried about off and then you won't have to worry about them developing into something nasty later.
