I've accidently scratched off some of a mole once but I dunno. -- Posted by Live Just To Die at 10:26 am on July 6, 2009 No. -- Posted by easy at 10:26 am on July 6, 2009 Quote: from Cunning Stunt at 10:25 am on July 6, 2009 Sounds like an old wive's tale to me. no it isn't, chronic irritation of skin and moles can cause cancer! -- Posted by eklipse at 10:26 am on July 6, 2009 Quote: from Monroe at 1:24 pm on July 6, 2009 Well, if it's already a cancerous mole then yes..It can make it worse. Exactly. Get it removed while you can so that it doesn't spread and become a more cancerous event. Better to get it removed while you can, right? -- Posted by easy at 10:27 am on July 6, 2009 Quote: from Live Just To Die at 10:26 am on July 6, 2009 No. dead wrong! -- Posted by 218 air codet at 10:31 am on July 6, 2009 yes it can cause skin cancer -- Posted by Cunning Stunt at 10:34 am on July 6, 2009 Quote: from easy at 1:26 pm on July 6, 2009 Quote: from Cunning Stunt at 10:25 am on July 6, 2009 Sounds like an old wive's tale to me. no it isn't, chronic irritation of skin and moles can cause cancer! I doubt mechanical stimulation constitutes "chronic irritation." That would be some like, oh I don't know, UV radiation. -- Posted by OodleNoodle 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. -- Posted by joker678 at 10:36 am on July 6, 2009 i wouldnt pick a mole -- Posted by easy at 10:37 am on July 6, 2009 Quote: from Cunning Stunt at 10:34 am on July 6, 2009 Quote: from easy at 1:26 pm on July 6, 2009 Quote: from Cunning Stunt at 10:25 am on July 6, 2009 Sounds like an old wive's tale to me. no it isn't, chronic irritation of skin and moles can cause cancer!

Which means that you have no legitimate sources.   It's a huge myth. Ask any dermatologist or check the American Academy of Dermatology. -- Posted by Cunning Stunt 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. -- Posted by halfbaked7 at 11:57 am on July 6, 2009 uh...anger greed and ultimately stupidity causes cancer.  *see desteni.co.za  *for more details. -- Posted by The Samsoniteman at 12:15 pm on July 6, 2009 Quote: from easy at 6:26 pm on July 6, 2009 Quote: from Cunning Stunt at 10:25 am on July 6, 2009 Sounds like an old wive's tale to me. no it isn't, chronic irritation of skin and moles can cause cancer! 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. -- Posted by Cunning Stunt 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. -- Posted by Live Just To Die at 12:37 pm on July 6, 2009 Quote: from easy at 6:27 pm on July 6, 2009 Quote: from Live Just To Die at 10:26 am on July 6, 2009 No. dead wrong! The mole can be cancerous. It does not become cancerous by you picking it. Picking a scab =/= cells mutating. Idiot. -- Posted by The Samsoniteman at 12:58 pm on July 6, 2009 Irritation does do odd things to cells, however. -- Posted by easy at 7:01 am on July 8, 2009 Quote: from Live Just To Die at 12:37 pm on July 6, 2009 Quote: from easy at 6:27 pm on July 6, 2009 Quote: from Live Just To Die at 10:26 am on July 6, 2009 No. dead wrong!
