Did any of you develop lots of moles after implants?

[Guest guest]

I have always had quite a few moles. But it seems like in the past few

years (I got my implants 6 yrs ago) I've developed LOTS of them. They

are limited to the areas of my upper chest, stomach and back. A lot of

them are red moles, which has concerned me. I have looked up the

characteristics of melanoma and luckily they do not look cancerous. I

did a search on this forum and found this quote:

" Purpura results from the extravasation of blood from the vasculature

into the skin or mucous membranes. Therefore, purpuric lesions do not

blanch with pressure. Depending on their size, purpuric lesions are

traditionally classified as petechiae (pinpoint hemorrhages less than 2

mm in greatest diameter), purpura (2 mm to 1 cm) or ecchymoses (more

than 1 cm).1 Although purpura itself is not dangerous, it may be the

sign of an underlying life-threatening disorder. (some people refer to

purpura's as " blood moles " ) "

I'm wondering if the moles are the result of my immune system fighting

these foreign invaders? I guess it's all the more confirmation that

I'm doing the right thing by getting these implants out. I was just

wondering if any of you have had this same issue and if you've found

out a reason for it.

Thanks!
