A young woman who attempted a facial wax at home has accidentally removed her mole after a DIY treatment at home goes horribly wrong.

Samantha Domaille, from New South Wales, shared her dilemma in a now-viral TikTok video after she realised she had waxed off her beauty spot on her chin.

‘I can’t laugh because it’s pulling the hairs but I’m actually terrified,’ the 24-year-old said as she showed herself in stitches.

Holding up a tiny wax strip, she explained: ‘Look, that used to be a mole and now it’s just sitting in this piece of wax. That’s my mole, it’s gone, what the hell.

‘I’ve just waxed off a whole mole. Look at it, it’s sitting in the wax. I just want to know how does this happen? And why do these things happen to me?’

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Samantha said she feels ‘fine’ after the waxing fail.

‘There hasn’t been any reactions. I have waxed my face multiple times at home but this was the first time I had ever tried to wax over a mole,’ she explained 

‘I think I’ll give it a few days to see whether it starts to scab over before I go see a doctor.’

Her video has since been viewed more than 250,000 times with many curious to know why she placed a wax strip over her mole in the first place.

‘I was self conscious that it was growing hair that you could only see at certain angles because I could never tweeze them,’ Samantha replied with a laughing emoji.

Some asked her whether she’d mistaken the mole for a pimple, to which she responded: ‘It’s definitely a mole. I’ve had it my whole life and have had it checked at a skin clinic before.’

Many urged her to go see a doctor as a precaution while others suggesting applying Vaseline over moles next time she attempts a DIY facial wax so the strip ‘doesn’t stick to them’.

‘You’re good, my sister scratched mine off when I was four. Not dead… yet,’ a woman explained, while one said: ‘People pay good money to get that stuff removed.’

While another revealed: ‘I sliced mine off the back of my leg shaving… It bled for ages and I thought I was going to die but it eventually grew back through.’

And one woman added: ‘You are not alone in waxing your mole… But I am terrified of this happening to me now.’ 

Skin Cancer Centres explained why there are serious risks associated with trying to perform a mole removal procedure without a doctor. 

‘Mainly, you have no idea whether you are removing a completely benign (safe) lesion or a malignant (cancerous) one,’ the clinic said. 

At-home mole removal can also lead to infections or cause significant scarring.

From the cosmetic risk to the potential for incorrect removal and not properly diagnosing a dangerous skin cancer, trying to remove a mole at home is not advised.
