Is it safe to remove hair from a mole?
There is no evidence to suggest that removing hairs from moles is harmful in any way. Most moles are not ‘cancerous’ and do not have the potential to become so.
However, it is sensible to treat this area with some caution to avoid sensitivity which could cause redness or swelling.
Plucking with tweezers is the most common method of mole hair removal. Many men shave over moles on a daily basis and this causes no harm. Depending on the area, waxing may be considered.
If the mole is raised, then it is sensible to avoid any activity that could damage the mole.
