My 13 yr.old son has several moles on his chest and back. Since they’re not cancerous my insurance will not?

   Hello,

   I disagree with the other Answerers on this. I think that if your son is very self-conscious about these moles, then he has enough "psychological" trouble to warrant having them removed.

   I would strongly advise you to appeal against the Insurer’s decision, – if there is any mechanism for it, – or at least to write a strong letter to the Insurance Company. If you have a "General Practitioner," (as we call them in the UK), it would help a lot to get him to support you. It would help even more, if he was prepared to write to the Insurance Company for you.

   Would this "Insurance Company" pay for your son’s psychological treatment or psychological medication, instead ? To treat his anxiety about this ? If yes, why will they only pay for this very second-best treatment?

   If you can get your G.P. to take your son’s anxiety seriously, that may be used as a lever to force the Insurers to pay up. I urge you not to let them off the hook too easily.

   Hope this helps,

   wow! that is the way god made him! those are his beauty marks be proud of who you are and what you have.

   but if you insist. there are a ton of products on the market that claim to lighten… but you should take him to a dermatologist for professional strength products. I have freckles (love them! by the way) but with my face care product they do seem to lighten, especially when i do not have a lot of sun exposure.

   i have a few moles myself, but they just look like normal freckles. dermatologists probably won’t remove them unless they are cancerous

   Your son ought to see my family!!!!On the boys side,we got nothing but moles on our entire body!!!!!I got a few on my face but when I was talking about laser surgery to take them off,each and every one of my friends told me not to because the moles gave my face character.My 13 year old nephew has a few on his face too,and the girls love it(and I am not kidding!!!)!!!!The girls say it makes him look even that much more cuter.Tell your son not to worry about it because sometimes when you think which part of your body is ugliest can also be a turn on to other girls.

   Well that mineral foundation is pretty damn impressive.they make a cheap one by NYC makeup I use and its pretty cool.. It won’t hide it but make it faded.

   Tell your son the Lord made Him exactly how he should be and I am sure he is wonderful just like his momma.
