• guys,
  I am getting really tired of nicking the same damn moles and bumps on my head.  Has anyone here had moles removed from their noggin?  I'm thinking about getting this done ASAP.

• Luckily I don't have any on my head.  I do hate it if I get an ingrown hair and then nick it.

• Hey Brad, I have a very very sharp utility knife sitting here on my desk.  I can dip it in alcohol and slice it right off.  Then we can put some seam sealer on it so it wont grow back.  LOL   Sorry dude, I dont have any on my noggin at this time.  Hopefully I never will.

• I have this one mole that keeps coming back in my armpit. As gnarly as it sounds I just cut it off with fingernail clippers. It's almost painless

• I havent had a mole on my head but I had one on my side. I iced it up for awhile and used some nail clippers and clipped it right off. It hasnt come back really, just a little scar looking thing.

• Everyone said I was crazy for doing it. It would be super hard to clip one off the head though.

• I had one on my head when I first started shaving my head.  Unfortunately, I didn't know it was there.  LOL
  
  The Mach3 took it right off.   
  
  Not the recommended way, I might add.

• I had one behind my left ear.. i've nicked it abot 4 times... each time there were a couple f-bombs thrown.. and some blood loss.. but on the good side... after each nick its got smaller  I got one on top my forhead that sometimes wins the battle with the headblade though and that one hasnt got smaller.

• Word of CAUTION.   Moles could be a serious matter.  If you have one and it is bothersome, gets sore or starts to turn darker, go see your doctor.  My wife had to have a could cut off and they sent them off to be tested because they could form into cancer.  So maybe "slicing" one off isnt such a good thing guys.  Just my opinion, take that seriously, as you do shaving your head.

  I had a few red moles on my head (i think they were called angioma's), I had them removed by a dermatologist, had a few stitches in my head for a week and it's all good since then.
  there's some good advice in other posts about the fact that it should be checked out by a doctor (for pathology).

• I guess I have a small mole/birthmark of sorts behind my right ear and the first time my head was shaved (by my neighbor) he was like....
  
  neighbor: uh.... dude do you have a mole or something by your ear?
  me: Umm....I don't think so ....why??
  neighbor: well...whatever it was...I just took a huge hunk out of it...
  me: really?? Ok whatever I didn't even feel it
  
  hahahaa good times

• Most of the time these things can just be shaved off.  Have a supply of gauze or a stiptic (sp?) pen handy, though   Occasionally, the MD's like to biopsy them, just in case.  Most of the time they freeze them off.  I have a mole on my chin that I have shaved down even with the rest of my skin with no ill effect, aside from bleeding.  It's been fine for 15 years now.

  Very very good advice.  BTW, this being my first post, I like you guys.  Bald is best, except when the sun gets it and it burns.  Anyhow, I have 2 moles on my head, they are too flat to easily cut off, so I'm just careful shaving around them.  Go over them lightly, and you can still shave the hair.

• I have a few small ones on my neck, I too want to get rid of them. The last time I took one off myself I took a piece of thread and tied it around realy tight for a day then yes used nail clippers to hack the dead mole off, but it did grow back.
