The mole can be cancerous. It does not become cancerous by you picking it. Picking a scab =/= cells mutating. Idiot. kepp picking your mole=idiot! The Samsoniteman Posted at 12:58 pm on July 6, 2009 Irritation does do odd things to cells, however.

Cunning Stunt Posted at 12:26 pm on July 6, 2009 Quote: from easy at 1:37 pm on July 6, 2009 chronic picking or scratching=irritation! So by that logic, somebody could get cancer by scratching at bug bites or poison ivy rashes. Bullshit. You get skin cancer either randomly for no reason or from damage caused by some form of radiation, most likely UV.

That would have to be irritation for a very, very long time. If you scratch it pretty much non-stop for months the plasticity of the cells would change dramatically and yes, a precursor to cancer might form. halfbaked7 Posted at 11:57 am on July 6, 2009 uh...anger greed and ultimately stupidity causes cancer.  *see desteni.co.za  *for more details. Cunning Stunt Posted at 11:10 am on July 6, 2009 Quote: from easy at 1:42 pm on July 6, 2009 anyone with a brain knows that a mole that is irritated by anything over a long period of time, can become malignant! Anyone with a brain can make something up to seem like they're correct. Come back when you have documented sources.

Which means that you have no legitimate sources.   It's a huge myth. Ask any dermatologist or check the American Academy of Dermatology. easy Posted at 10:42 am on July 6, 2009 Quote: from OodleNoodle at 10:40 am on July 6, 2009 Quote: from easy at 10:38 am on July 6, 2009 Quote: from OodleNoodle at 10:35 am on July 6, 2009 No. That's absolutely ridiculous.       The only time you can get cancer from a mole is if it's already a cancerous mole. ..you know little!

I doubt mechanical stimulation constitutes "chronic irritation." That would be some like, oh I don't know, UV radiation. chronic picking or scratching=irritation! joker678 Posted at 10:36 am on July 6, 2009 i wouldnt pick a mole OodleNoodle Posted at 10:35 am on July 6, 2009 No. That's absolutely ridiculous.   You should only be worried about moles if they change shape, colour, are bigger in diameter than a pencil eraser or if the edges are bumpy or jagged instead of smooth. However, if you don't protect your skin in the sun, you should get your moles checked once a year by a dermatologist, just in case.
