The folks at the SDMB are always far more enlightened about things like physical looks and societally-determined imperfections. Of course, their opinions are all written anonymously online. 🙂 I’m assuming the author is making note of a real wart/mole, not a beauty mark (most humans have the capacity to tell the difference). I’d venture that the vast majority-- _overwhelming_ majority, 99.9% with the bar over the top, of folks will feel that a wart/mole on the face is unsightly (when not writing about it anonymously online). There’s no shame in feeling that way, nothing shallow about it. Personally, I’ve never gotten why people keep them. If it’s from childhood, maybe their parents didn’t care about it, told their kid how beautiful they are even with a big honkin’ thing on their face that-- and this is important-- _can be easily removed by a five minute procedure at any doctor’s office_. I’m no fan of plastic surgery, would never advocate it for pretty much anyone, but wart & mole removal isn’t the same thing (there is, after all, always a chance of something cancerous down the road… although that’s not the only reason to remove these things). Anyway… I’m thinking most folks are just lazy and don’t even think about it. Or if they do, they’ve been improperly conditioned to be stubborn about it, thinking that it’s somehow distinctive, like a _super_ beauty mark. Dudes/ladies, unless you’re as talented as Aaron Neville, it’s _not_ distinctive, it’s just ugly (and all apologies to the talented Mr. Neville… that thing is hideous, man). ---

I had a boyfriend one time who had two such bumps on his face. I talked to him about getting them removed, because I didn’t find them terribly attractive. He looked into it, and discovered that they would have to be burned off. He said it would be a painful process, not to mention that the procedure of removing it from the face would be more complicated and dangerous than removing it from elsewhere on the body. Finally, he said that even if he were to get the bumps removed, it would still leave an unsightly scar in place of the bump. ---

It could just be a case of denial. “I’ll ignore it, and it’ll go away”. I’m reminded of the Xmas dinner held for Mrs. J. and co-workers at a certain university, where one guest seated near us sported an enormous (we’re talking better than softball-sized) facial tumor. It looked like one of those benign salivary gland tumors that take years and years to grow. No one said anything, though it was almost literally the elephant in the room. Maybe he regarded it as “a distinctive feature”. :dubious: ---

A halfway decent plastic surgeon could take care of that thing in about 10 minutes. Ask her out. Save up the money to pay for her molectomy surgery, and now you got a smokin’ sleeve tatoo barista all to yourself. ---

I have a little bump on the end of my nose. Not a wart, just a little mole. It’s not **huge** but it’s noticeable and I hate it and would like to get rid of it. I’ve spoken to a couple of doctors (a dermatologist and a plastic surgeon) who told me that due to its placement on the edge of a nostril, removing it will likely be painful and leave scarring. If it goes wrong, I will have a chunk missing from the end of my nose, instead of a lump. So: If it goes well, I’ll have a scar on my nose. If it goes badly, I’ll have a missing bit of nose. Seems to me that whatever I do will still leave me with something on my nose that will be noticeable and draw people’s attention as much as the mole already does. So, for now I’m happy to keep the mole, given the possible alternatives. Maybe she’s in a similar situation. Or it may be a wart and she’s a witch. Weigh her against a duck and let us know the results. ---
