Se’if 1א׳

אָסוּר לִטֹּל שְׂעָרוֹ אוֹ צִפָּרְנָיו, בֵּין בַּיָּד בֵּין בִּכְלִי, בֵּין לְעַצְמוֹ בֵּין לַאֲחֵרִים, וְחַיָּב עַל שְׁתֵּי שְׂעָרוֹת; וּמְלַקֵּט לְבָנוֹת מִתּוֹךְ שְׁחֹרוֹת, אֲפִלּוּ בְּאַחַת, חַיָּב, וְדָבָר זֶה אֲפִלּוּ בַּחֹל אָסוּר מִשּׁוּם לֹא יִלְבַּשׁ גֶּבֶר שִׂמְלַת אִשָּׁה (דְּבָרִים כב, ה) הַגָּה: וְעַיִּןִ לְעֵיל סוֹף סִימָן ש"ג דִּין סְרִיקָה וַחֲפִיפָה.

A Few Laws of Forbidden Things on Shabbat Connected to Categories of Work, 14 Seifim: 1. It is forbidden to remove hair or nails, whether by hand or using a tool, whether from oneself or others. He who does this is liable for punishment after pulling two hairs. If he is removing white hairs from amongst black ones, he is liable even after only one hair. This practice [of removing white hairs among black hairs] is even forbidden during the week because it is considered crossdressing. Rem"a: And see above at the end of Chapter 303 regarding the laws of combing and parting hair.

Se’if 2ב׳

אָסוּר לַחְתֹּךְ יַבֶּלֶת מִגּוּפוֹ, בֵּין בַּיָּד בֵּין בִּכְלִי, בֵּין לוֹ בֵּין לְאַחֵר.

2. One is forbidden from removing a wart from his body, whether using his hand or a tool, whether for himself or for someone else.

Se’if 3ג׳

הַמּוֹחֵק דְּיוֹ שֶׁעַל הַקְּלָף אוֹ שַׁעֲוָה שֶׁעַל הַפִּנְקָס, אִם יֵשׁ בִּמְקוֹמוֹ כְּדֵי לִכְתֹּב ב' אוֹתִיּוֹת, חַיָּב. הַגָּה: אָסוּר לִשְׁבֹּר עוּגָה שֶׁכָּתַב עָלֶיהָ כְּמִין אוֹתִיּוֹת, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵינוֹ מְכַוֵּן רַק לַאֲכִילָה, דְּהָוֵי מוֹחֵק. (מָרְדְּכַי פֶּרֶק כְּלָל גָּדוֹל).

3. One who erases ink from parchment or wax from ledger is liable for punishment if the space that he erased has room for two letters. Rem"a It is forbidden to cut a cake that has letters on it, even though one just intends to eat it, because it is considered erasing (Mordechai Perek Klal Gadol).
