How to Remove a Mole - Home Remedies

Everyone has moles on their skin. Most of these are small, dark spots that we don’t even think about. However, some of us have larger, more unsightly blemishes that lower self-esteem and make us uncomfortable. It’s possible that you, like thousands of other people, have considered having a mole surgically-removed only to find the procedure is too expensive and won’t be covered by your health insurance because it’s a cosmetic procedure. It’s also possible you’ll end up with a scar by having the mole removed by surgery, and the last thing you want is another unsightly blemish to have to try and hide. Therefore, you might want to consider non-surgical methods of mole removal, some of which will be discussed in this article.

Most moles are nothing more than a concentration of the same natural pigment that gives your skin its color. You may remember your grandma cooing about some darling little mole you were born with, and you’ve undoubtedly seen others appear as you’ve grown older. Maybe you have one of those little ones on your face that are considered beauty marks, or you might just have some spots that you think are unsightly. Some moles need to be watched carefully, because there is a potential for them to turn into a more serious health issue. No matter what you’re dealing with, there may come a time in your life when you seriously want to consider mole removal.

It isn’t a good idea to just grab the first product you see and try to remove a mole. You really should visit your doctor or dermatologist first to determine if there’s anything dangerous about the mole. After all, some of them can be cancerous. If this turns out to be the case, you’ll want to have the mole medically removed instead of attempting to do it yourself. If the doctor says there’s no problem with the mole, however, you can go ahead and think about how to remove the mole on your own. Check online, and you’ll find a number of creams that were designed for mole removal. However, there are also some home remedies you can try before spending your hard-earned cash on commercial preparations.

Even though some of the home remedies might seem a bit off-base, you’ll find that there are people who are true believers in the miracles they provide. If you’d like to give one or more of these remedies a try, here’s what you do:

• Use a blender to create juice from cauliflower, fresh pineapple, or fig stems. Apply the juice to moles daily until they soften and peel off.
• Make a paste out of fresh garlic. Work some of the paste into moles before going to bed at night and then cover them with bandages. In the morning, remove the bandages, and repeat the technique as needed.
• Rub castor oil into moles every day until they disappear.
• Apply honey to moles once a day until they’re gone.
• Wash your moles five to six times a day with hot water. Then apply cider vinegar using a cotton swab. Leave on 10 minutes and rinse off with cool water. Reapply as needed.

Are these home remedies really going to help with mole removal? That’s pretty much anybody’s guess, and you won’t know unless you try. If they don’t work, you won’t be out much but a little of your time, and you can still purchase a commercial cream and try again.
