I have often wondering when seeing some individuals who have dozens of facial moles why they don't remove them

Throughout my life, I have noted that quite a few women of my race (African-American) have dark, protruding moles all over their faces and necks. I've never really noticed this in caucasian women, but I haven't ever really been looking for it. I always wonder why these moles aren't removed. Is it that these people are just choosing to not have it done for reasons of their own, such as cost, potential scarring, etc.? Or is it not medically possible to remove them without complications that could be serious, such as profuse bleeding? I'm just curious, because I have had problem skin for decades, but mine is mostly with a lot of blackheads and a tendency toward ingrown hairs. I have a bad habit of picking at my blemishes (I have OCD, as well), which I know only makes the situation worse. But I'm really so bothered by my outbreaks, and I think if I had moles everywhere, I'd go crazy wanting to pluck at them or get them off one way or another.

Removal can be painful, you can have scars- and for some African-Americans the scars may be more unsightly than the growths, as the color and texture can be noticeably different than the surrounding skin. Removal can be expensive.


How ever, the most important reason is.... it is their own business.

Here are some real answers on skin conditions (your current situation). Remedies at the bottom. Cleansing the body of toxins is the key. Especially a colon cleanse! Educate yourself on detoxifying the blood and removing excess waste in the body.





Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "What is your skin trying to tell you? Often the skin is a metaphor for deeper issues and a way for your body to send up a red flag to warn you that all is not well underneath. When our skin is unhealthy it is usually a reflection of the internal state of our bodies, and is often a sign of poor elimination of toxins and waste products. Most of us are embarrassed by skin problems such as rashes, rosacea, boils or acne, especially in places where others can see our imperfections. The skin is the body's first line of defense against the environment. It has to deal with the effects of weather, sun , cold, heat, dryness, humidity, scrapes, bumps, soaps, detergents, chemicals, perspiration and dirt of all kinds. It is a wonder that our skin stays healthy most of the time! We can help our skin deal with this onslaught by optimizing our general health and by protecting our skin from harsh environmental exposure. Western medicine generally treats skin eruptions with either antibiotics, cortisone, or antifungal preparations. These medicines may alleviate the skin problem temporarily, or occasionally for good, but do not address the source of the problem. Putting a lid on skin symptoms without getting to the root of the imbalance may even result in suppression, that means the imbalance may be driven deeper causing more serious health problems later without ever strengthening the underlying vital force of the person. Fortunately, naturopathic medicine offers a wide vareity of effective treatments for skin problems."





Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "Your skin is a reflection of how well your body is eliminating the toxins that build up on a daily basis. Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis stem from a combination of genetic factors, immune stress, dietary deficiencies or sensitivities, and the accumulation of toxins in the body. For our skin to be radiant and clear, it is very important that the other organs of elimination (kidneys, liver, lungs, and colon) are cleansing the body effectively. If not, the skin will be overtaxed, pores will become clogged, and eruptions of one sort or another will result. Here are a number of steps you can take to improve your body's overall elimination wtih specific emphasis on your skin."





Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Juice Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue in the body.

Natural Cures





1. Fruits and Vegetables for Acne: Carrot %26amp; spinach, celery %26amp; watercress, grapefruit juices are all useful to combat acne.





2. Unwholesome Foods: Acne, a prevalent problem among teen-aged boys would not be possible in our society if our foods were wholesome. A most sad and disgusting sight is the pus-filled pimples due to inner toxicity --- wastes trying desperately to escape through the face. This condition often turns a gentle face in the blossom of youth into a waste dump of pimples, pus and subsequent pock marks which can be prevented. The tons of acne medications and prescriptions sold annually act only on the effect of the harmful food, and not the cause of the disease, malnutrition. The traditional teenage meal, a grease burger, french fries and a milk shake or cola simply does not provide enough nourishment for anyone, let alone a boy going through puberty to adulthood. Our highly processed foods are devoid of hormones found in fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Must do a colon cleanse to rid of all the toxins in the body, which eventually get into the blood and cause acne and all other diseases.





3. Cabbage: Apply a lotion of freshly prepared cabbage juice preceded, if desired, by the application of leaves. The eating of cabbage leaves or juice is also helpful.





4. Lemon Juice: Skin problems such as acne... will often respond to a treatment of lemon juice. For blackheads rub lemon juice over them each night.





5. Black Walnut: Externally, Black Walnut is nearly a miracle worker in cases of ...acne, dandruff, boils, itch, shingles, ringworm--we could go on, but you can see that you can use Black Walnut whenever a skin disorder appears! The tincture is an excellent first-aid remedy for wounds.





Cause


Moles are usually the result of a nutritional deficiency and they should be treated internally, as well as externally.


Potassium deficiency is the general cause.





Best of health to you
Reply:well i think you hit all the bases on that actually i am pretty sure its all iof the above, cost, possable scarring (especially on dark skin it can be really bad) would be the most likely reasons, also some people just dont think its a problem and really i agree, i dont have any moles but on black people especially i dont think it looks bad so to say its just a common thing that occurs. what i dont get is when people have bad skin issues that only require good hygiene to fix and they dont do anything about it, like women with hair growing on there face or people with whiteheads that obviously need to be taken care of (if there white there GROSS GET RID OF THEM!) i dont understand that sort of thing.
