Dermatologist's say, "almost all of us will get moles on our bodies, someday--it's a part of growing older." Usually after 40, skin care nuisances like moles and other skin growths begin to appear, most often on the torso. Some of these moles become cancerous or turn into what is called "Melanoma". "If you think you have melanoma or some other type of skin cancer, see your doctor immediately."

Moles are made up of abnormal skin cells; the average mole is not cancerous. Congenital Moles -- are moles that are present at birth. These moles can vary in size some as small as 1/4 inch to some that cover almost the entire body of the child. These large (nevi) moles vary in size, in shape, in color, texture, and also hairiness. Some of these moles are colored reddish-tan; others mole are almost black. Most of them are shades of brown. Some of these congenital moles have fine downy hair; others have long, thick, darker hair. Giant congenital nevi involving much of the body are less common, possibly around one in every 200,000 to 500,000 births.

Removing moles usually requires a doctor to cut the mole at the base with a sharp scalpel. The mole is removed from the skin in this outpatient procedure, only a few stitches are required. Removing moles in this manner does leave scarring so it was passed over some 20 years ago when laser removal was adapted for dermatology. Laser removal was very popular in the U.S. until the cost of the procedure broke the $300.00 mark. Laser mole removal has less of a chance of scarring than removal with a scalpel, but most doctors will not guarantee a scar free result.

An old remedy used by Native American's for removing moles, and warts is now being hailed, "even by dermatologist's", as the best way to remove moles from the skin. This natural mole removal remedy, "DermaTend" has replaced the laser for more than 20,000 patients a month. Reno, Nevada Dermatologist, Dr. Mark Farner said, "This DermaTend "bloodroot" medicine has the most unique properties. It removes bad skin cells naturally without the use of a scalpel or laser light" -- it is also is used for removing genital warts, skin tags, and athlete's foot.
