It is no secret that moles can be very disturbing and unappealing to look at. This is the reason as to why many people have turned to surgery just to have them removed. Moles can appear in almost any part of the body; with the face and neck being the most sensitive areas. However there are ways to remove moles naturally without resulting to dangerous or costly alternatives. There has been a lot of talk on natural remedies for mole removal.
As much as the effectiveness of these treatments is yet to be scientifically proven, the remedies do work with some variation from one person to the next. It all depends on one’s discipline in the frequency of use. This article shall aim to highlight 3 effective home remedies for mole removal. Ensure that you consult a professional about your mole so as to make sure the mole is not malignant(cancerous); if the mole is not malignant then you can use these home remedies.
Apple cider vinegar
Follow the following simple steps:
- Wash the affected area with warm water and mild soap so as to ensure the surrounding area is as supple as possible. Pat gently with a towel to dry the area.
- Apply some Vaseline on the surrounding surface so as to ensure it is not affected by the acidic apple vinegar.
- Dip a small ball of cotton wool into the apple vinegar and apply it on the mole. Leave the area for 15 minutes to allow the liquid to soak into the mole.
- Wash the area with warm water and pat dry. Keep repeating the process three times a day and within no time the mole will fade off.
Hydrogen peroxide
Follow the same washing procedure as the one above. Now using a nail file gently smoothen the mole. Remember to apply some Vaseline to the surrounding surface.
- Dip a small ball of cotton into the hydrogen peroxide and apply it on to the mole. Keep doing this until the mole turns white( you may feel some sting).
- Make sure that you repeat the process several times a day.
- Since the hydrogen peroxide can cause some irritation, after the peroxide has dried apply some Aloe Vera gel so as to soothe the area. Many people have reported that the treatment works in days without leaving any marks.
Using Garlic
- Garlic is very rich in sulfur a substance that is very useful in removing moles. The process of using garlic juice is equally easy.
- Wash the affected surface just as earlier discussed. Peel some cloves of garlic and crush them so as to extract some juice.
- Apply the juice from the garlic onto the surface of the mole. You may cover the area with a bandage so as to increase the impact. Do this overnight so as to speed up the healing process.
Word of caution
- The following treatments are only ideal for moles that are not malignant.
- Be patient and persistent when using the remedies so as that they can work.
