the first thing you need to do is see your doctor, it could be nothing at all, but see a doctor as soon as you can

Moles, known medically as nevi, are clusters of pigmented cells that often appear as small, dark brown spots on your torso, face, arms and legs. But moles can come in a range of colors and can develop virtually anywhere, including your scalp, armpits, under your nails, and between your fingers and toes.\n\nMost people have between 10 and 40 moles, although the number you have may change throughout life. New moles can appear into mid-adulthood, and because moles last about 50 years, some moles may disappear as you age.\n\nThe great majority of moles are harmless, but in rare cases, moles may become cancerous. Monitoring moles and other pigmented patches is an important step in the diagnosis of skin cancer, especially malignant melanoma. Although not all melanomas develop from pre-existing moles, many begin in or near a mole or other dark spot on the skin.\n\n\nEveryone has moles, sometimes 40 or more. Most people think of a mole as a dark brown spot, but moles have a wide range of appearance. \n\nAt one time, a mole in a certain spot on the cheek of a woman was considered fashionable. Some were even painted on. These were called "beauty marks." However, not all moles are beautiful. They can be raised from the skin and very noticeable, they may contain dark hairs, or they may be dangerous. \n\n\nNormal Mole \n\nMoles can appear anywhere on the skin, alone or in groups. They are usually brown in color and can be various sizes and shapes. The brown color is caused by melanocytes, special cells that produce the pigment melanin. \n\nMoles probably are determined before a person is born. Most appear during the first 20 years of a person's life, although some may not appear until later in life. Sun exposure increases the number of moles. \n\nEach mole has its own growth pattern. At first, moles are flat and tan, pink, brown or black in color, like a freckle. Over time, they usually enlarge and some develop hairs. As the years pass, moles usually change slowly, becoming more raised and lighter in color. Some will not change at all. Most moles will slowly disappear, seeming to fade away. Others will become raised so far from the skin that they may develop a small "stalk" and eventually fall off or are rubbed off. \n\nThis is the typical life cycle of the common mole. These changes occur slowly since the life cycle of the average mole is about 50 years. \n\nMoles may darken, with exposure to the sun. During the teen years, with birth control pills and pregnancy, moles often get darker and larger and new ones may appear. \n\nDifferent Types of Moles\nRecent studies have shown that certain types of moles have a higher-than-average risk of becoming cancerous. Some may develop into a form of skin cancer known as malignant melanoma. Sunburns may increase the risk of melanoma. People with many more moles than average (greater than 100) are also more at risk for melanoma. \n\nMoles are present at birth in about 1 in 100 people. They are called congenital nevi. These moles may be more likely to develop a melanoma than moles which appear after birth. When a congenital nevus is more than eight inches across, it poses the greater risk for developing melanoma. \n\nMoles known as dysplastic nevi or atypical moles are larger than average (usually larger than a pencil eraser) and irregular in shape. They tend to have uneven color with dark brown centers and lighter, sometimes reddish, uneven borders or black dots at edge. These moles often run in families. \n\nPersons with dysplastic nevi may have a greater-than-average chance of developing malignant melanoma. These people should be seen regularly by a dermatologist to check for any changes that might indicate skin cancer. They should also learn to do regular self-examinations, looking for changes in the color, size or shape of their moles or the appearance of new moles. They should also shield their moles from sun exposure using sunscreen and/or clothing. \n\nRecognizing the ea

it doesn't hurt one bit. they numb your mole with a shot. the shot doesnt hurt at all. i have the biggest fear of needles and i'm fine. then if it is raised then they just scrape it off but if it is even with your skin then they scoop it out like ice cream. depending on the doctor and size they will pull it together with stitches or leave it. if you have the option take the stitches b/c if they leave it then it raises and looks bad. i have had a few removed and all those times i didnt even realize they were finished because i didn't feel a thing. Also, my insurance covered it so I am not sure how much it costs. Good luck with it. :)

Your mole could be a small hemangioma. It will bleed if you don't cauterize its base after you remove it. Once it is removed EVERY mole should go to a pathologist for examination. Beside melanoma, a very aggressive tumor of the skin, many other conditions may require further treatment after the mole is removed and analyzed, though most are benign. A complication of removing a mole on your own is infection. But why do you want to suffer pain when a tiny amount of local anesthetic and an aseptic procedure can make the process painless and safe? Go to your General Practitioner. He or she can help you.\nhope this helps.

A mole that is changing enough for you to notice it generally should be biopsied to be sure it is benign. Although dermatologists are best at determining from appearances alone if a mole is dangerous, no one can be 100% sure. You are worried, and the peace of mind alone would be worth the cost and trouble of biopsy.

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.

I got a freaking mole right smack in between my eyes. Now that unique & its me. I haven't seen someone else like me ever. My young daughter even draw the mole to say that stick figure is daddy.

Go to your doctor, have him numb your mole and scrape it. It won't scar. He will then take it to the lab to test it and see if it is cancerouse. \n\nIf a mole is questionable ask the professionals!

according to something I read once.....about 60% of males have a "crooked" penis.  it can happen because of traumatic accidents in childhood (getting kicked etc) or can happen with repeated dry humping episodes.  It's supposed to be because of ruptured blood vessels and scar tissue that it curves.  Mine curves and hangs to the left and I haven't had any problems or complaints about it.  As for sterilization...... there is no medical reason for that unless you don't want children.  it's a simple procedure where the cut a hole in your scrotum and tie off the vans deferense. (the tube that your cum travels through). best of luck

if this hair is a new growth that you have noticed until  recently  or if your mole has changed in any way don't pick at it .it could be a sign of certain kinds of cancer.also best to not get a mole to bleeding,plucking can get a mole to bleeding depending on how deep the hair follicle is.If you have noticed anything new with this mole or if it just looks strange see your health care provider

Not a good idea ... you could puncture it and cause a serious infection.  \n\nThere are 3 main issues that bring patients to the dermatologist for their moles.  One common patient concern is whether any of their moles are suspicious for or at risk of turning into cancer.  Another concern is about moles that protrude and get repeatedly irritated by activities such as shaving or rubbing on clothing.  Also, many patients have concerns about the cosmetic appearance of certain moles and may desire removal to enhance appearance.\n\n  Evaluation of moles to check for melanoma is an essential part of dermatology today.  Melanoma usually develops on previously normal skin, but on occasion may develop in a pre-existing mole.  People with many moles are at slightly greater risk of melanoma, especially if the moles are large and irregular.  Checking for melanoma is trickier when patients have many moles, the difference between normal moles and melanoma are often subtle and require an expert trained eye.  The removal of normal moles does not decrease the risk of developing melanoma.  Dermatologists are best qualified to determine which moles are suspicious enough for biopsy.  Ideal biopsy technique allows for complete information about the growth with minimized scarring.\n\n  Moles that are irritated by activities of daily living are best removed.  These moles may interfere with shaving or may rub against clothing.  The techniques used to remove these moles are the same as those used to remove moles that are cosmetically undesirable.\n\n  There are many people who have one or more moles that they see as detracting from their overall appearance.  Not all undesirable moles, however, are candidates for cosmetic mole removal.  Figuring out which moles are appropriate candidates requires careful judgment.\n\n  There are two main methods used for mole removal.  Moles can either be shaved off of the surrounding skin or excised with the underlying and surrounding skin and then stitched.  For best results, treatment should be individualized.  The shave excision method is the most frequently selected method for mole removal, as it tends to produce optimal cosmetic results for most cases.  Shave excision is also generally best for moles that are irritated by clothing or shaving.  For shave excision, the skin around and under the mole is injected with lidocaine anesthetic.  This takes away any minor pain of the procedure.  It also raises and firms the skin treatment site.  Then a small sharp scalpel blade, often lubricated with mineral oil, is used to precisely remove the raised and pigmented mole tissue while leaving a cut surface that is flush with the surrounding skin.\n\n  The shave removal technique is excellent, but, like all techniques, has limitations.  Despite every attempt to cut the mole exactly flush with the skin, minor imperfections of the cut surface may occur.  An electrosurgical apparatus is used in these instances to even out the contours of the removal.\n\n  With meticulous technique and careful patient selection, shave removal results are generally gratifying to patient and physician.  Nevertheless, permanent contour and color imperfections may occasionally result.  Contour imperfections may result if the tissue is not cut exactly even with the surrounding skin and may also rarely occur due to changes in skin contours resulting from the healing process.\n\n  During shave excision of moles, some of the melanocytes are often left below the even cut surface of the removal site.  Usually, these cells pose no cosmetic problem.  Moles may, however, regrow at the excision site shortly after removal or years later.  The mole cells below the cut surface of the removal site can also cause re-pigmentation of the removal site to a shade much darker than that of the removed mole.  This re-pigmentation side effect is particularly problematic for patients with olive skin or dark eyes and hair.  Mole regrowth and re-pigmentation occur more commonl

That's disgusting.  I don't know how you managed to do that, but you shouldn't be asking for help on Yahoo! answers, where many people just joke around and don't know what they're talking about.\n\nGO TO A FREAKING DOCTOR!!!\n\nDon't be embarassed; it's for the sake of your penis.

I still have mine... Some women get a bit freaked out by it, and think it's unclean or abnormal... Once it's off, keep it off...

Whoever did my husband's circumcision when he was a child messed up, and there was extra skin, but he has a wonderful penis, so who cares. Use it to your advantage. It will make you unique and special. Walk around and let it out, don't be embarrassed by it! ;)

How come people show concern about it this much?  Like some other person said, for a big number of the world male population this is normal.  I think this is one of the things that have been recorded on people's mind, I swear.  Why there is not a lot of repulsion toward the female reproductive organ.  As I see it, there are more opportunities for it to be of concern.  A lot more of skin goin this way and the other.  A cavity for breeding of all kind of nasties.  But you know, I am not concerned, because I was not taught in that belief (maybe I should)
