Figured it'd put the little red X symbol just in case this freaks some people out. So as I've been coming clean with some "bad habits" of mine I figured this should be included...

There have been times when I would try to remove moles on my body buy literally pinching them off with tweezers. Particularly on days when I was just disgusted with myself. I'd pick up the tweezers find a mole on my body and then just pinch it until I felt the skin tear then pluck out the skin. As they heal they leave these divots that sorta look like chicken pock scars. Most of the times the mole does grow back within the scar.

I'm not sure why I do this...but it does tend to take my mind off things...I'd have to guess it all stems back to when I was younger and I had these moles around my neck. They got to a point where the doctor thought they might be malignant, so they had to be removed. I had a total of 6 removed from around my neck in various places. They all ended up being benign...but I think that's why I remove them when I find them anywhere else on my body.

Anyways....I haven't done this for a while. So that's good news, for me at least.
