Plucking hair from a mole can lead to inflammation and perhaps infection, but that’s all. But basically it’s very simple-removing hair from a mole usually doesn’t disrupt the cells. Perhaps the fear that plucking hairs from moles is linked to cancer stems from the fact that every once in a while a mole may turn malignant by itself, and you might blame what was done to it. Sometimes hair appearing on a mole is vellus, which is shorter, fine, and light-coloured, compared to longer, dark, and thicker terminal hair, which can also occur on moles. The dense cluster of skin cells growing together which forms a mole can cause darker pigmentation of hair growing through the mole.
Hair follicle produce hair on nearly every area ott he body, including areas where moles occur. Moles themselves don’t actually produce hair, hair grows through them. If you want to pluck, shave, wax, or use electrolysis on a mole, there’s no evidence that this will cause a melanoma, or any other kind of skin cancer. „Can I tweeze out the single hair that grows from a mole without rising the risk of turning it cancerous?” – a common questinon from my patients during my visitis.ĭispite the pervading misconception that this procedure hazards the malignant transformation, even by cutting, you don’t change the behavior of a mole.
