OK I have a few moles, one of which is really bothering me. It is this small, raised mole on the side of my waist. Lately it's been very dry and has been breaking open to a small extent. I do not want it to break open in some situations, such as when dancing on stage, and I also do not want an open bruise like this to get infected. I have another mole(below my belly button) that nearly fell off a few years ago! As in, part of it fell off and it was bleeding for a good week or two, but then the mole grew back and it looks normal except for this upraised white part in the center(where part of the mole fell off). Has anyone had any experiences like this with moles? Are these weird experiences a sign of a bigger problem??
Anyway, I am wondering if I could get the mole on my waist removed with lasers. I am not seeking this procedure for "cosmetic" reasons, but because I am worried that perhaps it could cause infection, inconvenience(such as breaking open for no reason at all), and what if it puts me at risk for much bigger problems, such as cancer? (Cancer runs VERY prevalently in my family) Is there any possibility that my Aetna HMO plan would cover such a procedure, or would it probably be completely out of my pocket? Any input? Thanks!

My God....

In that case, the insurance should pay for it, but confirm that just to be sure. Also, if you keep scratching one until it bleeds because of the location, that should be covered too.
