And I love Matt, but man, seriously, they have things they can do to easily get rid of that!

Hm, you and I are on opposite ends of the spectrum here ... I have to say I was verrrrry pleased to see Matt get the boot, since I am not a fan of his singing at all. And I have to admit I've giggled at some of the comments about Das Mole. BUT, in all fairness, I don't think it really is that easy to get rid of a large mole. My husband has a big ol' mole right in the middle of his forehead that has appeared there in the last couple of years, and it is NOT a pretty sight, but when he asked his doc about it, the doc first examined it to make sure it was not cancerous ... and then said, well, take your pic whether you want a mole or a scar there. You can freeze off warts, but a mole has to be taken out surgically (or so I am told). So then you have a scar. I think this information is probably accurate, since I had a pre-cancerous wart in my armpit about three years ago that had to be removed. (What? Is this TMI? Sorry!! :) Anyway, I now have a scar there that is much larger than the original mole.

Yeah, but if he has the scar there, he can say he got it in a knife fight or wrecking his Harley. ;-)

But, I know what you mean about moles sometimes being tough to remove. I have one right in the middle of my knee that has been there since birth. It’s small, but I asked the doctor a few years ago about getting it removed. He said as long as it’s not changing form/color to just leave it. They can grow almost like tendrils under the skin.

However, one of my coworkers had this huge cyst on his finger since he was about 20 (he’s 30ish now). This thing was half the size of a ping pong ball! Insurance wouldn’t pay to have it removed (because it wasn’t cancerous and would only be “cosmetic”), so he finally paid for it out of pocket about 2 months ago.

The doctor did an excellent job! There is only the faintest scar left and you don’t even really notice it unless you are looking for it.
