plus if removing a mole is that easy, no one would have moles.

Wait...disrupts cells and could lead to cancer? What??! Oh please tell us your sources for this groundbreaking medical revelation. I had no idea that cutting skin can lead to cancer! Quick, alert the paper companies and tell them that paper cuts cause cancer! And call Ginsu and tell them their knives are carcinogenic! Mass panic shall ensue!!

I did this once and the mole never came back. LOL on the cancer thing.

42- I think he was implying that the mole could be a benign tumour and disrupting /those/ cells can lead to cancer. If anything, he wasn't wrong since disrupted cells is basically what cancer is.

Shadmed - no. Just no. Cutting benign cells in no way makes them cancerous. That takes DNA mutations. There is not one type of cell that turns into cancer by cutting or "disrupting". He was entirely, completely, 100%, wholly, and in all other ways wrong.

61- My bad, I wasn't clear enough. I never said the cutting itself was a problem, but leaving the cells exposed to another agents might cause problems. That's why moles should be removed with sterilized equipment by a professional, not by the bearer with a razor. Secondly, are you saying a tumour is not a ball of disrupted cells?

And yet you are not allowed to serve in the military in many countries if you have a large mole on your neck - uniforms' collars can cut it off, and thus have a risk for cancer ... in other countries, they just make you remove it with doctor's help. Cutting of moles can be cancerous ... you're exposing cancer cells to a new, uncontrolled environment. No guarantee that cancer will occur, but still happens more often than someone might think.

tell that to radiation
