What You Need to Know About DIY Mole Removal

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

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

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

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

I can why patients are keen to get rid of their bothersome ; it is for cosmetic (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 .

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

Unfortunately, that information is not always ...

A quick Google search on DIY mole removal reveals some staggering .

1. "Tying" a Mole Off

The method is to the blood flow to a by tying it very 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 concept should be with caution.

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

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

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

2. Creams, Lotions and Solutions

The also has a of mole which claim to lead to mole removal.

Again, approach these with caution. These are on a similar basis (or sometimes the same) as Wart and verruca removal, https://www.dhaestheticsclinic.com/,. The mole cures often suggest filing or scratching the top of the mole to ensure the acid is able to penetrate. However, true moles are very in nature.

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

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

3. Mole Lightening Products

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

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

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

4. "Natural" Home Mole Removal

The here is again external application but based on common foods.

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

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

Suggestions rubbing the mole several 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 a sticking . The most involves strapping cotton wool to the mole a plaster, having first scratched the mole so that it can penetrate.

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

At worst, as with all home cures, the risk of NOT having proper mole testing is the greatest of all. Some of the websites do mention 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 horrible 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 melanoma skin cancer diagnosed on a mole he tried to bleach which may or may not have to a delay in his diagnosis and .  He now wishes he never used the for advice on something he now admits should only be left in the hands of experienced as the consequences can be  potentially life threatening.

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

Even for harmless moles being for cosmetic reasons, I would not to risk DIY home solutions however tempting they may appear to be.
