If you have moles on your face, neck, arms, or legs, is it possible to make them less noticeable? Moles can be removed through a medical procedure, but that process is sometimes expensive and painful.
So, if you don’t have an outstanding medical reason to completely remove a mole, such as a skin cancer concern, and you just want to minimize the mole’s appearance, consider these home remedies. (Note: Check with your doctor before trying any mole home remedy to make sure the mole is not cancerous.)
Pineapple Juice
If you’re looking to lighten the appearance of a mole, pineapple juice is a possible natural option. It operates as a natural solution to lightening skin. Just soak a cotton ball with pineapple juice, rub it on the mole, and let is sit overnight. If you do this for a few weeks, the mole should lighten up, according to Top 10 Home Remedies.
Banana Peel
Thanks to nutrients in bananas, banana peels can be used to help reduce moles. Just place the inside of a ripe peel against your skin, cover it with a bandage, and leave it on overnight. The mole will be reduced (some say even removed) in a few weeks, according to Beyond Disease.
Garlic
Garlic is known for breaking down mole-causing pigments, thanks to natural enzymes. Crush up two cloves of garlic into a paste, and then apply the paste to the mole. Remember to put oil on the mole first so the garlic does not burn your skin. Then leave the garlic paste on overnight. The mole will fall off after around five nights of this process, according to Natural Remedy Ideas.
Honey
Because honey contains antibacterial and healing agents, it can help with various skin conditions. Just clean the mole with soap and water, and let the skin dry. Then apply a thin layer of pure honey on the mole, and cover it with a bandage. Repeat these steps each morning and night for three to six weeks, according to Leaf.
Onion Juice
Onion juice helps with mole removal because it’s acidic. The onion juice works by removing every layer of the mole until it’s gone. After applying onion juice to the mole, leave it on for 30 minutes before washing off. Do this several times every day for up to one month, according to Natural Remedy Ideas.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apply apple cider vinegar is also said to help remove moles. This acid-based solution affects the mole by making it scab over and fall off. To apply this remedy, apply apple cider vinegar on the cotton ball, put the cotton ball over the mole, and secure it with a bandage overnight. After about a week and a half, the mole should be gone, according to Top 10 Home Remedies.
Frankincense
Frankincense is recommended for mole removal because it provides antibacterial and astringent properties. This method requires you to take a bath using Frankincense and baking soda. Soak in the bath for 15 minutes each day. Beyond Disease provides detailed instructions for this method.
Iodine
While iodine is similar to garlic for treating moles, some say it’s better to use if you have sensitive skin. Apply iodine to a Q-tip, and then rub it on the mole several times every day. Over time, the mole will change and fall off, according to Natural Remedy Ideas.
Grapefruit Seed Extract
Another home remedy for mole removal includes using grapefruit seed extract. This solution is effective as a result of vitamin E that nourishes and regenerates the skin. Please one drop of extract on the mole, cover with a bandage, and let it set for a few hours. Repeat twice a day for about one month for effective results, according to Top 10 Home Remedies.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera can treat a variety of skin issues, thanks to its antibacterial properties. Plus, this solution soothes instead of stings, compared to some other acidic options. Apply aloe vera gel, directly from the leaves of an aloe vera plant, onto the mole a few times every day. Within a month, the mole should be gone, according to Beyond Disease.
Castor Oil
Please SHARE this with your friends and family.
Because castor is a discutient, it helps to remove skin growths, including moles. Apply a tiny amount of castor oil to the mole twice each day, letting it set for two hours per application. Then rinse. Natural Remedy Ideas points out that this home remedy does not leave any scarring.
