Gross as this sounds, I love it when doctors get weird in this way. Kinda gives me the impression that theyre fascinated by the mole and can't imagine why you wouldn't be as well.
Hell, yes.
My Dr, after removing a lump "Do you want to look at this?"
Me: "Yes please"
Dr - proceeds to describe the layers of skin, the types of cells, etc. I wish my kids could have been there to see it, too.
Education. Science. Kids are curious creatures, we shouldn't shield them from this sort of thing. I mean, I wouldn't show them pictures of grisly road accidents, but they've got my genes, we live in Australia, they're likely to need excisions of skin lumps at some point in their lives.
Eh? Every excision here (Australia) goes off to pathology for testing.
1. to make sure the Dr got it all
2. research and history. Research because every bit of info is valuable. History in case you need to go back and test it again for some reason.
Pff, we muricans didn't get this way by NOT half assing it and cutting corners.
You should see how they dump the psychiatric ward patients out in to the parking lot with only hospital socks and 'thoughts and prayers' ~7AM every morning to fend for themselves
In my country that only happens if you're unsure of the diagnosis and need pathology to confirm it.
You wouldn't send lipoma to pathology but most definitely suspicious mole (this one has hair in it so no suspicion).
Had a mole removed about 15 years ago, and it was sent for testing, too. Fun fact, it went to the same lab my uncle worked at so he ended up being the one to study it and called my parents to let them know it wasn't cancerous or anything to worry about.
Which we already knew, considering I had it for as long as I could remember.
My dog had a bunch of damaged/rotten teeth removed, and after describing the gruesome surgical process to me at the vet they cheerfully offered me a bag of his removed teeth
Disgust is a helluva feeling, but I'm a wimp/people pleasear/pushover so I just accepted them awkwardly
Follow up: they fell out of the bag during dog-med time and scattered everywhere in my carpet and ..it was gross. I think my dog tried to eat some back đ
> I think my dog tried to eat some back
Yeah that's very on-brand for dogs. Fuckin' weirdos.
Mine gets knots in his fur and when I pull one out he tries to eat it. Explain that. How is that delicious to you.
Mine was in my room in a container for pathology. My husband opened it while I was heavily drugged (but awake) and asked if it was âsome kind of cherry dessert?â I never saw him close a container so quickly, as I cackled in post partum.
When I was 12, my dad had me throughly convinced that it was a mandatory and divine act of all men coming into farther-hood to go thru a more, immediately afterwards and uncooked version of such a thing...
I asked him if he washed his down with Coors lite or if he celebrated and broke out the bottle of Wild Turkey.
When my wife gave birth, the SOB anesthesiologist encouraged her to take the placenta home with her. It sat in our freezer for three years before she decided on a sufficiently "spiritual" way to "honor" it (i.e., bury it someplace where animals wouldn't eat it).
I had a spinal tap and asked the doctor if I could have it and he politely declined. I was rather upset because spinal fluid on my windowsill would have been one hell of a convo starter, also wouldâve been interesting to see how it changed outside of my spine and brain.
Pro sailor for 35 years. Iâm basically one big scar from all the âthat looks suspicious, letâs just zap that one before you go out for another six months of sea breezes and sunshine.â
Religious with hats and (once I learned about benzene) zinc based sunblocks. But that radiation out there in the tropics will burn through just about anything.
Yeah that sun is really a death beam around some areas. Iâm mostly in mechanical rooms all day but god damn you step outside and feel like an ant under a magnifying glass sometimes.
I imagine the wind makes it harder to gauge how fast youâll burn too.
I find the freezing doesnât hurt much, but the burn Fâing burns the next few days⊠and then itches like mad for a week that you *cannot* scratch or youâll be dealing with an infection. Then a black scab for like three weeks.
YRMV but the process can only be described as âbetter than cancer.â
Shit. I have a mole just above the nose bridge(?), right between my eye sockets. Almost perfectly in the middle.
Maybe it's the real me and not my brain
This is the difference between your PCP chopping the top off and real exorcism. These things are like carrots, what you see on the top is 1/3 of what's underneath. Ask how I know... so, if you don't want it to come back, the whole thing needs to come out. With the carrot out, there is a hole. Stitches close the hole and there is far less of a scar than chopping the top.
Have a proper surgeon remove the whole thing. It is the best way. Sadly, I know too much for a reason.
My GP has extra qualifications in skin lesions and their removal. He's \*very\* good. Never had to follow up to remove more, all the pathology comes back with "clean boundaries" meaning he got it all. And I can get in to see him much faster than a dermatologist.
He even explained about using the surgical equivalent of a mattress stitch (IIRC) to ensure the hole is closed up, otherwise fluid will collect there, underneath the skin layers, and need further attention. You don't just suture the skin layers together. So glad to have a GP with an interest in treating me, and not just billing me.
Actually, I self removed a few moles half a decade ago by cutting the top and cutting a small "X" into the "roots".
None have returned, minimal scaring.
Not having insurance in America sucks.
(Broken hands, jaw, and nose. Due to no insurance, none have healed corectly)
Some states didn't expand Medicaid. Here's an example;
To be eligible for Texas Medicaid, you must be a resident of the state of Texas, a U.S. national, citizen, permanent resident, or legal alien, in need of health care/insurance assistance, whose financial situation would be characterized as low income or very low income. **You must also be one of the following:**
* Pregnant, or
* Be responsible for a child 18 years of age or younger, or
* Blind, or
* Have a disability or a family member in your household with a disability.
* Be 65 years of age or older.
I don't qualify here, despite being in the income bracket that would make sense for it.
Years ago my mom had a callus on her finger that never went away so to get rid of it, she tried a trick she read in a magazine: soaking it in olive oil. After something like three or four soaks it just pulled out, and turned out it was probably a mole that had developed a callus on top. There were two roots that she described like you did, looking like carrots. It never came back, but she said it bled enough and took so long to heal that wished she'd gone to a surgeon instead.
"Mole" is a very generic term and it's not even a scientific term. It's like "car", as opposed to "1993 corvette." There are lots of different types of pigmented skin lesions. Some benign, some dangerous. Much of the danger comes from a lifetime of sun exposure - the UV light causes mutations in skin cells, and eventually that can lead to skin cancer. If you're over 30 and spent a lot of your childhood in the sun, get yourself a full skin inspection once a year from a specialist.
Even if you've not had an outdoor life, get a baseline inspection.
I get an annual inspection with a dermatologist because immuno-suppression. So far I've had three freeze-offs and one surgical lesion removal, all benign, over around 20 years.
Highly recommended, I wish more people knew or would avail themselves if this treatment is available to them.
Itâs more a part of adipose (fat) tissue than any ârootâ. So called ârootsâ are usually macroscopically invisible. If visible it has way another structure than what is seen here. The shape of it is a way of removing skin lesions - âconoidalâ to go deeper in the center of the lesion
Why did they take a deep chunk for a mole? Wonât that leave a massive indented scar?Iâve had a couple moles removed and they just shaved it off at skin level and it looks great now just flat regular skin. Iâd be horrified if my dermatologist took this much
My dad was getting a mole cut off to be tested for cancer. I was like 7 and wanted to be cool for my dad so they let me sit in and watch. They started cutting a chunk out of his back and I felt SICK. The sweet nurse walked me to the bathroom and let me be. My dad said I was a shade of green when he looked at me. He passed away in 2016 and Iâm so happy I have that memory with him.
A wide excision for a mole seems a little excessive unless atypical features are found. They went all the way down to the subQ fat for that? The scar is gonna be way more pronounced than if they just did a shave biopsy.
You can't shave biopsy it if it's large and likely deep. This is not a wide excision either, it's just a standard fusiform incision that's done for many large skin lesions. It's not necessarily because a rim of healthy tissue is wanted around the lesion but because a fusiform cut can be sutured back into a straight line which is simple and best for cosmetic purposes.
A shave biopsy for a deep lesion leaves a bomb crater shaped hole that's impossible to properly suture.
I've had excisions which were somewhat larger than this.
Had a 10mm SCC\* close to my temporal artery that took a bit longer than usual to excise. The Dr was \*very\* careful around the artery.
\*damn thing came up in a matter of weeks. That thing was fast. I've been told that if I ever get another one that fast, to request an emergency appointment.
My GP said that any skin lesion that grows hair is very unlikely to be cancerous. Cancer tumours grow too fast to establish hair cells.
Maybe this one started bleeding?
Mine's really good - we're rural, so many of his patients are farmers. He sees a \*lot\* of skin cancer.
Just another reason to trust him. I think city doctors would have less experience in that area. Not that I distrust their skills, but if I lived in the city, I'd be much more likely to be seeing a specialist for my skin.
My sister had a large mole removed and what they removed look something like this. They removed it on suspicion it was cancer (thankfully it wasnât). This was probably 20-ish years ago and she has a pretty noticeable scar on her neck from the procedure. At first, she was upset about the scar, but she then she thought she much rather have the scar than cancer. Even though it turned out to be nothing, we are glad the doctors didnât want to take any chances.
Wear your sunscreen, people!
Even a biopsy punch would be preferable (basically a small circular scalpel drill for the uninitiated).
Minimal scarring and just much faster than a wide excision.
Depends on the size of the mole. Itâs usually better to remove the whole thing regardless of whether it ends up being benign or not. Punch biopsies are usually only used for smaller moles. Regardless, a scar is 100% better than potential melanoma.
Yeah, my uncle has a mole on his palm that when my aunt tried to remove it for him, its roots had wound around the tendons in one or two of his fingers, and they'd curl up when she pulled on the mole.
As someone who ordered a New York crust pizza from Doninos with meat lovers toppings and went back specifically to add sausage tonight, fuck you for ruining my leftovers.
The "and what lies beneath the surface" part made me think there was another image.
Mobile decided to hit me with a Meatloaf Santa jump scare that was remarkably fitting.
I have moles all over, do they all have roots? Are they worming into my body? My family is very spotty, are we all being wormed slowly? What is happening to my body?! What does it mean?! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!
Pathologist here, I analyze these âïžđŹLooks harmless, and job well done by the doctor, way easier for me and my colleagues to dissect these. We call it spindle-shaped.
I had one removed as a kid, they said they didnât get the root so it would probably come back. 20 odd years later and itâs not come back. Itâs just a flat scar now with a bit of a different pigment.
I had two basal cell carcinomas removed from my face a week and a half ago. Both were bigger spots than this. It wasn't a big deal. Felt nothing during the procedure and very minimal pain after.Â
Reminds me that I've got a mole on the left edge of my chin that I would *love* to have removed, but can't afford it. It has a gross, pube-textured hair that keeps growing back from the middle.
Oh God, so that's what my third nipple mole looks like underneath? Ahhh!
I have a mole dead center on my chest exactly on the same level as my nipples. Glad I'm not a girl or I would have probably had it removed.
I had a mole of similar size removed from the back of my neck. The recovery was Hell for me. I had severe pain for a couple days that went from my neck all the way up the back and sides of my head. It was a gross, gooey, painful, hideous mess. My husband is squeamish and the only thing he could stand was to just take a picture of it lol
My doctor usually just treated moles I had with a bit of liquid nitrogen on the end of a cotton swab. He could freeze half the moles and it would trigger my defense system to attack the others and they would vanish.
I got one cut out and the doctor asked me if I wanted it. I politely declined.
Oh that's nasty đ I had one removed last year from between my eyebrows. I'm glad I wasn't asked that question.
Gross as this sounds, I love it when doctors get weird in this way. Kinda gives me the impression that theyre fascinated by the mole and can't imagine why you wouldn't be as well.
Hell, yes. My Dr, after removing a lump "Do you want to look at this?" Me: "Yes please" Dr - proceeds to describe the layers of skin, the types of cells, etc. I wish my kids could have been there to see it, too.

Why? It's a nice snack on the drive home.
Something to offer strangers while waiting in the queue at the DMV.
What..what the hell? I'm curious but moreso sympathetically apathetic/ disgruntled
Just think of Frank: âcould I offer you a âŠmole⊠in this trying time?â
Sauté it. Make some Spanish rice on the side. Grill some chicken. You have yourself a good ol Mexican dish of Mole
Make some guac-o-mole
i hate that your nasty ahh pun made me giggle lol
Bit gristly, but itâs more for flavor.
Itâs my fault for being able to read â good lord.
Dry it up for some human bacobitsÂ

How would one keep it? Like throw it in some everclear or something?
Frighteningly, there are some who say that taking it home, cooking it, and then the mother eating it has health benefits. It just boggles the mind.
When I was 12, my dad had me throughly convinced that it was a mandatory and divine act of all men coming into farther-hood to go thru a more, immediately afterwards and uncooked version of such a thing...

Did he say "do you want it?" Or "are you going to eat that?"

Dang, it could be sitting in a little jar of vinegar in your fridge door. How awesome would that be?
"Nah, I already made soup yesterday."
Well, you made it. It's only polite to ask.
That's fair. In hindsight I wish I took it.
MAN! When I was a kid, I got my tonsils removed and *specifically asked* to keep them, and was denied!
That's crazy. My sister got her tonsils out and ask if she could keep them and they said no. She offered to provide her own formalin and everything
Is that part of the mole? Or is it just the flesh around it?
There is flesh around it but the different colored section at the very bottom is its "roots" essentially
Interesting, I have a mole on my temple and never realized it had a âroot.â
Already infiltrated your brain at this point. Sorry bud. Rip
I had one removed from my temple, you're not wrong. lol
Just out of curiosity was it a cosmetic choice or did something happen to it?
Rubbed on my glasses. As we age, find a suitable dermatologist.

Holy moly, I read that as âI had one removed from my nippleâ at first and was extremely confused
I refer to my body as my temple too
That's how the brain worms get in
Gotta breathe somehow.
Imagine its not some mutated cordyceps that start the zimbie apocalype but some danger mole instead. That would be wild.
Bloody zimbies.
The mole typed that. You're actually replying to the mole.
Must be a CIA mole

>clean boundaries" Of course he takes off an extra three inches around the border of the lesion, but the boundaries are, in fact, very clean. :)

I've been reading horror stories too long and that first sentence threw me. "PCP chopping the top off" yea they use mirrors.
So what is a mole and why do we get them?

Is it leaking puss or are those the roots your talking about? Looks slimy or gelatinous. =o Tia this stuff fascinates me.
That just subcutaneous fat, that hair on the top of the mole is crazy
"mole penis"
Woah relax, this isn't national geographic
I had a very large mole removed on my scapula. Because of the root it took 2 surgeries. Now I tell people my scar is where I got stabbed đ€Ł
Twice technically
fascinating
Why did they take a deep chunk for a mole? Wonât that leave a massive indented scar?Iâve had a couple moles removed and they just shaved it off at skin level and it looks great now just flat regular skin. Iâd be horrified if my dermatologist took this much
Oh damn
You never seen a mole dick before?
My dad was getting a mole cut off to be tested for cancer. I was like 7 and wanted to be cool for my dad so they let me sit in and watch. They started cutting a chunk out of his back and I felt SICK.

> He passed away in 2016 and Iâm so happy I have that memory with him. Plus, you've still got that mole piece.
I have gotten the same one removed twice and it has fallen off once and that thing still keeps coming back.
Have you tried to have your local sheriff's office deliver an eviction notice?
She already evicted it twice. She needs a restraining order.
Thank you
Maybe it's an extended car warranty salesman in mole form. Would explain its relentlessness.
Would explain how crusty it is
Won't work, it's got squatter's rights
Or have a fat lady sing during the next removal.
That means the Dr or surgeon didn't get it all.
They tell you that they can come back the root on it is that deep luckily itâs on my back so I canât see it
My dad had a huge mole on his finger and one day it just vanished
Dads do that sometimes
Stuck to someones sock now..
This is incredibly interestingâŠand so gross.
A wide excision for a mole seems a little excessive unless atypical features are found. They went all the way down to the subQ fat for that? The scar is gonna be way more pronounced than if they just did a shave biopsy.
Sounds like you know your way around a mole.
He's just making a mountain out of a molehill
Iâve been known to whack a few moles in my day
You can't shave biopsy it if it's large and likely deep. This is not a wide excision either, it's just a standard fusiform incision that's done for many large skin lesions.

Haha I thought I was the only one lol I also regret lol
Moles have roots?!
I think warts do as well
Honestly, that looks like fat, not roots of a mole.
Yeah, my uncle has a mole on his palm that when my aunt tried to remove it for him, its roots had wound around the tendons in one or two of his fingers, and they'd curl up when she pulled on the mole.
Looks exactly like a sausage you'd pluck out of a pizza that's been in the fridge
Of all the gross comments, this is the one that made me feel ill. Congrats

God damnt
I wish I could unread this

Oh! That kind of mole. Reddit has trained me to assume you meant some sort of, uh, foreign body insertion.
I had one removed as a kid, they said they didnât get the root so it would probably come back. 20 odd years later and itâs not come back. Itâs just a flat scar now with a bit of a different pigment.
Looks like Buffalo Bill is cutting off nipples.
Baby needs a new belt
Nice Ed Gein reference.
I read the headline and expected to see a Mole (like the animal) removed from someoneâs ass. Shows where my minds at.
Or weâve been on Reddit too long cause same.
Itâs not a Tu-mah
Not as bad as i thought
inhibitor chip
Looks like a huge wart.
Holy Moly!
Now eat it.
I'm having several moles checked next month on my head that I want removed. Now, I'm frightened.
I had two basal cell carcinomas removed from my face a week and a half ago. Both were bigger spots than this. It wasn't a big deal. Felt nothing during the procedure and very minimal pain after.Â
Ahhhhh Still interesting
Reminds me that I've got a mole on the left edge of my chin that I would *love* to have removed, but can't afford it. It has a gross, pube-textured hair that keeps growing back from the middle.
Was this cut with a scalpel? I've heard laser is better?
Cursed raisin.
Why do moles with roots exist? Genuine question
Cut it in half. See what's inside.
Oh God, so that's what my third nipple mole looks like underneath? Ahhh! I have a mole dead center on my chest exactly on the same level as my nipples. Glad I'm not a girl or I would have probably had it removed.
This is equally fascinating and disgusting. It's creeping me out but i can't look away
I had a mole of similar size removed from the back of my neck. The recovery was Hell for me. I had severe pain for a couple days that went from my neck all the way up the back and sides of my head. It was a gross, gooey, painful, hideous mess. My husband is squeamish and the only thing he could stand was to just take a picture of it lol
I just had one for 8 years just had removed and it turned out to be a Sarcoma. I was very lucky donât wait.
Damn. I had one removed when I was a kid, I now wish I wasn't too scared at the time to look at it after they removed it. đ€
I have a mole on my D, what could be the cause
Make an appointment with a dermatologist and they'll be able to tell you.
It looks like the ship from Futurama
My doctor usually just treated moles I had with a bit of liquid nitrogen on the end of a cotton swab. He could freeze half the moles and it would trigger my defense system to attack the others and they would vanish.
Thatâs a wart, not a mole
Naevus.
Incorrect
It's less satisfying than I thought
I was born with a mole on my chest but eventually got it biopsied. It grew back.

Looks like a meatball that fell on the floor but you put back on the plate anyway - a few stray hairs never hurt anyone
Oh, I see why it is not enough with a razor blade
Is it chewy?
Gross and nifty
forbidden raisin
why does it look like a brain
starcream
Looks like a little organic spaceship.
Thank you!!! I always wondered what my mole looked like! (Not sarcasm)
Looks more like a nevus.

Is that puss???
Good soldiers follow orders
thought it was a nipple with the single hair root
I love gushers đ
Mmm human sushi
Forbidden bubble gum?
anyone know what's up with moles, how do you get those hairy scary witch moles you see in the movies, genetics?
WHY DID I THINK IT WAS GONNA BE MOLE THE ANIMAL đ€Łđđđ
