Would having large moles on your arms influence your decision to wear sleeveless tops?

My friend was wearing some cool jeans; I told her they would look really great with a sleeveless top and she could borrow one of mine, but she became a bit shy and told me she was really self conscious about the moles on her arms and that's why she didn't wear short sleeves or sleeveless. It's a pitty because she is very attractive and I think she is missing out on a lot in the clothing line.





To be honest I have seen her moles and they really are quite large like as big as your fingernail. A couple of them have got big hairs growing out of them. They are a bit icky and I wouldn't want anything like that on my arms. I tried to console her and said that people wouldn't notice and she has nice arms (which she does, apart from the moles).But I felt a bit useless. I could see she was upset about it.





Anway, would anyone worry about large moles if they wanted to wear short sleeves. What I can say to help her out because I feel bad about mentioning the sleeveless top in the first place.

If she is concerned she can have them removed...wearing nice clothes and feeling attractive is important and not to be trivialised...you can't lie and say they are unnoticeable but you can be constructive....she has options.
Reply:It might be a good idea for her to have them checked out, especially the ones with the hairs in, just to know that they aren't cancerous, and they can easily be removed. Report It

Reply:She has to be confident with herself, if she didnt have the moles people would find something else to talk about anyway. You live life once, relax and enjoy, tell her to wear the damn shirts, sleeeveless ones i mean
Reply:no, it wouldn't influence me, because I'm comfortable with my body, I know that most people have atleast one thing they hate about thier body, so I would just tell her that theres nothing she can do about it so she might as well wear her moles proudly, it could be worse. Plus most people won't be thinking about the moles on her arms, but how great her outfit looks!
Reply:Well she shouldn't be a shamed of them. If she really doesn't like them and it's that big of an issue she could have them removed, or idk pluck the hair that's growing out of it. Personally I don't think it should matter and besides ppl will get used to it after a while and they wont even care, it's just the way her body was made and she shouldn't feel like she has to hide.
Reply:I know someone who had birthmarks a LOT lighter than her skintone and she is not bothered one bt and they cover a good 50% of her body. I'd tell your friend to Go get 'em, and if anyone laughs heres a good line to say:


friend:"Get a life!"


bully:"I have one"


friend:"Then why are you spending it worrying about me?"
Reply:Just tell her to wear an arm band or something to cover the moles up. Until she gets enough self-confidence that is.
Reply:look she is a girl there is nothing you can say to change her mind.


if she doesn't like the moles there then get them removed its the only way she'll feel confident!


and to your question YES i would feel a bit nervous about wearing short selves tops around other people and in public.
Reply:When i was younger i used to self harm which i reget doing but my arms are covered in scars, i used to wear long sleeve tops all the time to hid them because i felt embarrassed but one day my friend said to me if people dont like it or stare at you they are not worth knowing or having as a friend so i stopped worring and started living life, but if they are really bad and making her feel upset maybe she could go to doctors and see if there is anyway she could get them removed, my auntie had one on her face and she recently had it removed so this should be possible
Reply:Honestly, if she is that worried about it have her go to the doctor. But there is more to a person than looks. I really think you did the right thing, butshe should get over it.
Reply:Yikes!





Well if I had large moles (and judgeing by what you wrote, she has more than 2) on my arms, I would be worried about showing them off too. And it would influence my decision on what I wear. But here's the thing, a friend of mine had a similar problem. Except that the moles weren't as big and they were on the left side of her face + forhead. What was amazing was that one day I noticed that they had disapeared. Surprised and dumbfounded I asked her what the heck happend, and she told me that she got them removed. But not through laser removal or surgery, she got this natural mole removal stuff online. Well, it worked pretty good, it left a bit of redness where the moles used to be, but you can hardly tell she had moles and it just looks like a bit of normal blemish on the face. I don't remember what website she got the stuff from, but I can ask ya if you want. A "mole removal" search on yahoo or google should get ya more info too. Anyways, hope I helped! Cheers!
Reply:if they are big aweful moles i wouldn't wear a top that would show them off but if they are small or freckel like it wouldn't bother me not one bit...
Reply:I myself sort-of have that problem myself. But don`t fret. Most of them are freckles. I wouldn`t worry about it. For some of them you could try to put make-up on them. I`m sure your friend is just a little self-consiouse, she`s probably going through that teen-harmone thing.
Reply:I have freckles and have never worn short sleeves in my life !
Reply:I have a large mole, one of those big lumpy brown types (ew) on my arm were my elbow joins the top of my arm. It has never concerned me and i have never felt self concious about it and i always were short/sleeveless tops. People however do mention it alot, but i just shrug there comments off.


I suppose there is always the option of having them removed??
Reply:A mole on the arm is better than a ferret down the trousers.
Reply:I think she should speak to her doctor about having them removed. If they are actually that large they could get ripped by clothing catching on them, or become cancerous if she sunburns badly.





But just for cosmetic reasons? No. If its affecting her self-confidence, then possibly.
Reply:unless i had large moles i couldn't say.i have bat wings but i don't worry.
Reply:well i have a mole on my arm but i call it a beauty mark. tell her that everyone has imperfections and if you show people that you do not care then they will also not care.
Reply:i would worry i recently had 4 middle sized moles removed from the back of my neck as this would always put me of wearing my hair up because people would flick them. so i can deffinatley sympathise with her. she should enquire with her gp and get them checked out if they are large. she may be able to get them removed, its very easy , they can cut them using local anesthetic, or they can be burnt. i hope this helps. good luck to your friend.
Reply:she could have it removed.
Reply:It shouldn't matter whether or not she has moles, I don't think they're icky at all. She could try surgically freezing them off as an option but I heard that some grow back.
Reply:NO
Reply:Tell her to put them back in the garden where they belong there is enough animal cruelty as it is
Reply:if she has them on show and somebody likes her for other reasons they will not be bothered by the moles, which might be a problem if they see them after a relationship has formed any way beauty is in the eye of the beholder
