How to Get Rid of Moles

Moles come in all shapes sizes and colors, and sadly one cannot control what spots the moles occur in, if they are flattering enough they are termed as beauty spots and can actually enhance one’s appearance, however sometimes they can actually be a nuisance and a cause of grievance if they appear at a spot that is not so favorable or appealing.

• Most people are born with moles, while there are some which appear over time, there are many things that can contribute to the formation of moles for example sun exposure, or even genetic structure. Because of heredity, many a time atypical or dysplastic moles have their origins in these.

The most common types of moles that people generally want to get rid of include:

• Birthmarks
• Haemangioma or the abnormal formation of blood vessels and Keratoses which are benign or cancerous moles that appear generally after the age of 30.

So if you want to get rid of a mole, we are here to help you with a few options that you can exercise and be rid of the dark spot forever.

Treatments:

Homemade or Herbal Remedies:

• If looking for home remedies to get rid of moles there are a few which involve the usage of fruits and vegetable juices, though one needs to be patient when it comes to them, as the treatment may take months to get rid of the mole completely. One thing that you do need to keep in mind is that when you choose a particular homemade remedy, you need to stick by it, no matter how much time it takes.
• Some effective remedies are using the mixture of flax seed oil and honey, and leaving on for an hour, or even using castor oil and baking soda to cover it. You can also use juices like apple juice, pineapple juice, juice of coriander leaves etc. to get rid of moles. You need to dab them on the skin at least 3 times a day and leave them on for 40 minutes at least.
• Other effective natural remedies that can be used are garlic paste and dandelion juice; they too help in getting rid of the mole.
• Another way to get rid of the mole is via using acid base creams which destroy the tissue; however the scar that is left behind by them cannot be rid of easily.

Medical Procedures:

• Cosmetic methods too have cropped up in abundance in recent times that can help get rid of moles. Procedures that require minor surgeries like, Electrocautery, Cryosurgery, Laser surgery etc. have become popular, normally the minor surgeries require removing of the mole with the help of a scalpel, r injecting the mole with something that will disintegrate it, the procedures can lead to scarring hence laser surgeries, which are least painful and mildly scarring are gaining popularity and being preferred.
• For larger moles, the method of excision is recommended, however the incision made by the removal of the mole is quite a big one, and since it cannot be stitched, it generally requires a cosmetic procedure like skin grafting and is quite a fragile procedure.

With quite a few options that can be exercised on the medical front one needs to be careful of the risks that the treatments can pose for example anesthetic allergy, and also one needs to realize the fact that some people opt for mole removal due to aesthetic reasons ignoring the fact that sometimes the scars left behind are equally unappealing. So before opting for cosmetic procedures one should be quite careful and really mull the decision through.
