What You Need to Know About DIY Mole Removal

Dr Ross Perry is the founder and Director of Cosmedics Skin a range of and medical skin for .

As a doctor who in l for aesthetic I see many who have been by home remedies and do-it-yourself removal solutions.

The is quite as the ‘treatments’ are not only as quick, simple, and easy but are also invariably free or cheap. 

Some of mine are often to mention they have tried home treatments and other DIY cures with from to those that are dangerous and in some cases left with severe .

I can why are keen to get rid of their ; it is for (not liking the look of them), practical reasons (e.g. where they catch on clothes), or simply peace of mind where the is causing any concern.

The great of the is the vast amount of information available, enabling people to research any topic under the sun.

Unfortunately, that is not always ...

A quick Google search on DIY mole some .

1. "Tying" a Mole Off

The method is to restrict the blood flow to a by tying it very tightly around the base with thread or dental floss. The idea is that the mole will fill with blood, dry up and then fall off.

This should be with caution.

While it actually can work for skin tags, there are still risks around the possibility of infection. Where cotton thread is used, this can become wedged into the skin finishing the job leaving a much bigger scar after surgical removal.

Moreover, when it comes to moles professional or surgical removal is the best option for complete removal and this should always mole testing.

moles at home, no matter how harmless they may appear, misses this vital precautionary step which can highlight any or cells. This point applies all DIY mole removal and myths and is the number one reason why home mole removal should be left alone.

2. Creams, and Solutions

The internet also has a plethora of ready-made mole which claim to lead to mole removal.

Again, approach these with caution. These are designed on a basis (or sometimes the same) as wart and verruca removal. The mole removal cures often suggest filing or scratching the top of the mole to ensure the acid is able to . However, true moles are very in nature.

Moleskin is quite and this can be painful and some have been left with scarring. In addition, the scratching can be quite harmful to the mole itself.

Again, this approach completely misses the vital mole testing – patients could be the first signs of skin cancer.

3. Mole Products

Essentially acid or alkali based agents, mole lightening products are creams and potions that seek to remove the pigment from moles so that they are still there but much less obvious .

However, those agents available over the internet may not meet British safety standards. If they are too strong they could burn the skin and cause damage.

Once again, the point applies that home does not include mole testing.

4. "Natural" Home Mole Removal

The principle here is again external but based on common household foods.

Some of these "cures" are to fade the colour of the mole; others claim to remove it .

These home mimic the acid or products available over the by causing a chemical burn to the skin in order to remove the colouration and or mole itself.

Suggestions include rubbing the mole times a day with lemon juice, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, cauliflower juice, pineapple juice, castor oil or honey.

Other ideas are strapping a slice of onion or garlic over the mole underneath a plaster. The most bizarre urine-soaked cotton wool to the mole a plaster, having first scratched the mole so that it can .

This area seems . At best, the patient risks wasting time and facing the embarrassment and of their and family. However, they also risk irritation, and .

At worst, as with all home cures, the risk of NOT having proper mole is the greatest of all. Some of the do that moles should be examined by a professional, though this is often in small print.

Case 1 – Used cream to bleach his mole that he felt was normal as it had not changed. This resulted in a severe skin and has now left him with a thick red raised scar (keloid) that is twice the size of the mole on his chest.  He regrets he ever saw this on the internet as there is very little we can do to help improve his scar.

Patient Case 2 - Thirty year old man who had a skin cancer on a mole he tried to bleach which may or may not have contributed to a delay in his diagnosis and .  He now wishes he never used the internet for advice on something he now admits should only be left in the hands of experienced as the can be  potentially life threatening.

Mole surgery and laser mole removal are effective safe procedures to do with modern and equipment. All procedures will leave a small scar but this is in most cases far more than the original mole.

Even for moles being removed for reasons, I would caution patients not to risk DIY home removal solutions however tempting they may appear to be.

Good will always send even the most apparently innocent-looking mole away for to rule out any possibility of cells as skin cancer caught early has the best for the patient.

The doctors’ experience and training are the most important factors to look for when the right person to remove your mole rather than glossy or cheap pricing as the wrong choice can lead to that is rarely easy to correct even with modern lasers and medicines.

Please see your family doctor / GP or a skin regarding any existing or new moles that are changing in size shape and or colour (getting darker in particular) or even if you have from a cosmetic point of view just so as to get the correct advice to avoid or a skin cancer.
