✢ Mole removal: is it safe?

Want to get rid of your moles for vanity reasons? Show them to your GP first. “As long as the moles are not overly numerous or irregular in colour or shape then there is no positive or negative to having them,” says Dr Perry. But removal won’t reduce your risk of skin cancer in the future. “This is because 70% of all melanomas are new moles. So removing moles to reduce your skin cancer risk is not advisable.” >>
