Natural Home Remedies for Mole Removal
Moles can become very disturbing when they appear on unappealing spots. While many will turn to mole removal surgery to get rid of their unsightly facial mole, there are natural solutions to it.
Lately, there are hypes about using natural home remedy for mole removal at home. Though the effectiveness of these natural home remedies is unproven and it differs from one person to another, some have found them to be useful to some extend. I personally have not tried any home remedy for mole removal; but I guess it would be a good idea to share the common remedies most people used to remove moles at home.
Here’s the list of home remedies I managed to get from the Internet that claimed to be effective for mole removal. I need to stress again, these home remedies are not scientifically proven. Try them at your own risk. Do not use them on malignant moles.
1. Hydrogen Peroxide
Wash your mole and pat dry to prepare the mole for removal using hydrogen peroxide. Smoothen the mole with nail file gently, and then apply a layer of Vaseline to protect the surrounding skin. Use a Q-tip or cotton ball and soak it with hydrogen peroxide. Apply it directly onto the mole several times until it turns white. This will sting a little.
Repeat the steps for several times a day; do not cover the mole during the treatment to aid for fast healing. However, if hydrogen peroxide is used before you go to bed, use a simple bandage to protect it. You may apply some Aloe Vera gels to soothe the stinging sensation after the hydrogen peroxide has dried up. Some have reported to have their moles removed in a matter of days, leaving no scar.
2. Apple cider vinegar
To use apple cider vinegar for mole removal, you need to make the surrounding skin of the mole to be as supple as possible to ensure easy removal. Moisten the mole and its surrounding skin with warm water for about 15 minutes. Apply Vaseline to the surrounding skin to protect it from the acidic apple cider vinegar.
Dip a Q-tip or cotton bud with some apple cider vinegar and apply it onto the mole. You may use cotton ball to treat bigger mole. Leave it for at least 15 minutes before wash it off with warm water and pat dry. Repeat this for few times a day.
3. Fresh pineapple juice
Apply fresh pineapple juice onto the mole and leave it overnight. Wash it off the next morning. Alternatively you can put a small slice of pineapple onto the mole, and wrap it around with a simple bandage to keep it in place. The mole is said to vanish after few applications.
4. Garlic
Garlic juice is rich in sulfur, and is said to be helpful in getting rid of moles. Cut a clove of garlic into half and place the cut portion of the garlic slice onto the mole. Make a simple bandage around the garlic slice to keep it in close contact with your mole. Leave it for overnight. If you can leave the bandage for 24 hours, it will speed up the treatment.
5. Iodine
Get some iodine tincture from drugstore and apply it onto your mole for 2 to 3 days consecutively. Use it before you go to sleep and leave it overnight to allow it soak into the mole. You will see your mole to be totally gone after 3 days.
6. Honey
Use only pure honey for the removal of moles. Apply pure honey directly onto the mole several times a day. It may take a couple of weeks for you to see the mole fading away. Alternatively, you can also mix flaxseed and flaxseed oil into the honey to aid in mole removal. Apply the mixture regularly onto the mole and expect to see the mole becoming lighter after few days.
