Is the removal of moles or other blemishes allowed?

In the context of Mississippi state law, the removal of moles or other blemishes is considered to be within the practice of medicine, which is typically regulated. This means that such procedures require the supervision of licensed medical professionals rather than those working in the cosmetology or esthetics fields. The act of removing moles or skin blemishes is associated with surgical procedures that might carry health risks and complications if not performed by someone who is properly trained and licensed, like a dermatologist or a medical doctor.

This regulation ensures that individuals undergoing any form of skin alteration are safeguarded from inadequate procedures that may lead to complications such as infections, scarring, or misdiagnosis of potential skin conditions. As such, any removal of moles or blemishes is prohibited under state law unless it is conducted by a qualified medical professional, thereby emphasizing the necessity of medical oversight in skin treatments beyond basic cosmetic applications.
