I learned firsthand that some moles never stop growing.

(Its a thing!)

And such has been the case with one of mine.

In other words, even though Ive had these moles removed, it seems they have unfinished business.

Theres more than one way to remove a mole, and none are guaranteed to be final.

I convinced my mom it had to go.

And I am very much displeased.

And some moles are all the more likely to make a triumphant return after being shaved off.

Its also not unusual to get a little scar, which I did.

Oh, but it sure is annoying.

And unfortunately, those hairs can be very stubborn.

Although Ill probably always have the scar, thereisa way to finish off the prickly remnants of this mole.
