Mr Moley

by taoski on July 11, 2007

It’s great to read that as a person who is covered in moles, that my “7 signs of aging” may be slower to take effect than that of a person who is mole free.

The flip side to this discovery is the common knowledge that people with a lot of moles have an increased risk of skin cancer.  This does not bother me too much though as I am not a sun lover, never have been and never will be!  Give me a rainy trudge up a hillside in the Lake District any day - you can keep your holiday to Barbados!

The only other down side to having moles is the increased risk that they will be

  • Knocked off during play fights with children
  • Scratched off during sex
  • Cut by the hairdresser
  • Grow hairs so thick and wiry that the US military want to use them for secret projects

I did once ask my GP about having my larger moles removed but he told me they may leave a scar if I did.  A homeopathic doctor once told my father,

Just cut it off with a pair of scissors and put your finger on it…

Advice not to be followed I think!
