Can I get my moles removed?

I have gotten a lot of moles and it seems like if I go in the sun, new moles come. I don't use sunscreen because I think that it causes cancer. But the moles are not lifted, meaning they don't rise out of the skin. I hate the moles I have and I'm wondering if I can remove them even if they are not cancerous. Will it leave scars? How can I prevent getting new moles?

yes you can have them burned off. whether insurance will pay depend on your plan. keep in mind sunscreen doesn't cause cancer, the exposure to the sun causes cancer. next time you go out apply the sunscreen.
Reply:Yes, it's a fairly easy procedure, but you will probably have some scarring. Even if you don't want to use sunscreen, there are other ways to protect your skin. Carry an umbrella, wear long, light clothes, etc. As for why you're getting so many moles, you'd have to ask a dermatologist.
Reply:I got some moles removed and I am so happy that I did... but my doctor would only remove the raised ones - the ones that were flat on my skin he said would cause more damage to be removed that was worth it. I happened to have great insurance at the time, but usually it's an expensive procedure. My scars are very minimal.
Reply:yes, you need to go and see a dermatologist, they can usually


remove most moles in the office, without major surgery.
