Thank you so much for this video. I've been insecure about the 2 moles on my face which are very prominent, and it got worse now that I'm in college. We have face-to-face classes and I don't even eat inside our campus because I don't want people to see my face. I am saving up for the surgery but I don't know how to tell my parents and friends. Hoping to get it removed in the first half of 2023.

[@raine3692]

same situation, I also don't remove my mask when i'm at school, and I also don't eat when it's break time It's all because of my mole one of my biggest insecurity. I hope i get it remove before the starting of new School Year .

y’all same and i saved for the surgery too , im using makeup to hide it as much as i can . but hopefully i’ll get it removed soon

[@songweilongmylove9292]

I relate with you so much 😭 I was always insecure about it even tho my friends and family were kinda okay with it and never throwed negative comments to me still I just don't like it but my parents won't let me remove it too bc of beauty purposes and also it was on my right cheek but a week ago I saw some changes in it like it was totally swollen and turned into a big pimple then started bleeding so I went to dermatologist and got it removed 2 days ago but now I see that it's turning into a black scab I just hope it will fall off quickly ☹️ also thanks for sharing your journey 🥺💕

[@imnotpat]

omg tysm for also sharing ur story!! 🥺 make sure to visit ur derma every now and then to check if the scab is falling off properly! i hope it works out for u 🫶🏻 once it heals, i swear it's life changing !! i've been more confident and happier ever since :)

Oh I watched this video a while ago and it encouraged me to remove mine and I DID IT :D One of the BEST DECISIONS OF MY LIFE It's still healing all you have to do is apply silicon based cream .

Does it hurts? I’m scared, I’m planning to though

[@carreen.a]

How long does it take for the recovery until the scars gone? Thank u❤

[@Mixiisss]

@@carreen.a it doesn't hurt at all , after the surgery if they cut the skin (like in my case ) you'll get some temporary bruising for couple weeks maybe and then you'll start to apply a silicon based cream twice a day for it to heal , I got mine removed in march and now it's November there still be some scaring but it's just my skin type ig . If you have good skin it will heal and look almost none existent. Despite the little scare I have I don't regret it at all .

[@truthseeker7651]

Idk why this got recommended to me just after I removed my mole like just right now... But anyway guess I'll share my story I had two moles one on a side of my forehead & one on my neck & I actually tried every home remedy like applying tree tea oil and what not but nothing really worked so I decided to get it professionally removed. & I just got it removed, the procedure was smooth/painless & they charged me 3000rupees or 40$ for whole process & ointments. There is some scar left but doctor said it should recover by a month or two.

Hi! You said you had multiple sessions/visits, does that mean you had to pay 8k per session? Or are those follow-ups lang na covered na by the 8k + consultation and meds? Hope you can answer my question! :)

Though because of other warts that kept growing I had to get rid of them all. And I feel like I'm missing my identity now. . . . People will say love yourself as you are but no I had about 40 warts and counting and kept growing on my face so yes it was problematic and had to get rid of all that unwillingly. I loved few of my moles🥺
