i'm planning to get one removed which is on my face... i am told they are going to apply this white powder stuff after the laser treatment and have to leave it on for a while and it can't get wet and i can't remove the powder until it heals...

i want to remove it tomorrow but i have school on monday... is there some way which i can place something over the powder stuff and then apply concealer over it?

I dunno, maybe you can put some kind of band-aid or something over it, like those small ones? If you are allowed. I'venever removed one, but been considered for one before but they decided it wasn't needed after all :P

0: Where on your face is it?

above my lip on the left... kind of where a monroe's piercing would be

i had never seen small enough band aids though =

A bandaid there might be odd...Hmm...fake mustache? /Norealadvice XP

haha that would look so awkward at my first day of college lectures... i was thinking of putting a compeed cold sore patch on it... but apparently it is super sticky...

Is the white stuff on it now even that noticeable?

that's the thing, i haven't gotten it removed yet >.< apparently it is noticeable... like flour on your face literally, so i would have a white dot above my lip instead of a black one xP

i'm kind of trying to see if i should get it removed or wait until the summer...

Oh..Hmm lol. Maybe you could paint the rest of your face to match? I'm of no help ;_;

haha, white wash myself >.< that's fine, good to consider what your ideas would be =]

if only i had a giant scarf i could wear like my HA and it is winter...

Lol, but the only serious advice I can give is not to be so close to people that all they can see is the mole. I doubt people will be too concerned anyway d:

that is true =] i would only be given weird looks... but i doubt they won't be giving me weird looks anyways since i wrote all over my arm xD

aw, then you might have to be a lil' bit of white on your face but hey you can always wear a moustache xD

That's something you'd probably have to ask the doctor. I wish I could get a mole removed. I have one on my forehead that I hate. Everyone else says it's fine and I can cover it easy enough with concealer I guess, but I hate it. I don't have insurance or the money to pay for it though.

there should be something like a moustache month xD

i got it removed an hour ago... two actually, on my face and on my neck... i highly do not recommend it if you can't stand pain... it hurt like hell. period. i now have to apply this white powder stuff whenever i get it wet so it doesn't get infected... i guess it's better than before it is flat now =

and no to the makeup =[ the doctor said it will take months to completely heal up and restore to normal skin...

it cost about 200... hope there's no scarring crosses fingers

I have a really large mole, but its on my pelvic bone so very few people will be seeing it lol... Well, at least in a few months you won't have to worry about it anymore (:

i haves tonnes on my arms and back but they're those not above skin level dark spots... if only moles only grew where no one can see them xD that is true =D

Might I say, I have a mole (or a beauty mark, whatever) in the exact same spot that you described too. I used to hate it because it made me so self-conscious, but I'm not that worried about it now.

:o the removal sounds like a complete pain...literally. Hopefully it was all worth it though!

i kind of regret it now... but i feel so self conscious with it... if it was less noticeable like marilyn monroe's one i would not have gotten it removed... and i just feel that whenever people are looking at my face, they would be highly distracted by the damn thing...

the removal process was like sewing needles piercing through it again and again... it still kind of stings right now =[ i do hope so!

Mine isn't as small as Monroe's either, but it isn't that much bigger. I know exactly what you're talking about. It was more so in middle school, but I was so self-conscious of it myself. I used to scratch at it all the time, wishing that I could just scratch it right off, lol.

Goodness, that removal process sounds absolutely terrible. I never expected one to be so bad.
