Easy Ways of Getting Rid of Moles

Moles are small marks on the skin caused by pigment producing cells in the skin they can appear flat, raised, smooth, rough, and contain "mole hair". They can be black or brown in color. They can come from hormonal changes caused by adolescence or pregnancy. Sun exposure is believed to cause small moles to grow and darken. Sometimes moles can even be hereditary.

One or two moles placed in the right spots can be considered beauty marks. However, a whole bunch of them everywhere can be unsightly. I and several of my friends know this from personal experience.

Common Mole Treatment

The common way of getting rid of moles Is to have them surgically removed through laser treatment by a dermatologist. They can also be removed through laser treatment by a plastic surgeon. However, seeking treatment from a dermatologist or plastic surgeon can be costly. Yet one can save money by doing self mole removal.

Mole Removal Formula

Mole removal formulas can be applied by the sufferer to remove the moles him or herself. The ingredients destroy the cell tissues of moles. As a result the moles dries up, scabs, and falls off within a few days. The formulas can run from $25-$80 in price.

There are many different kinds of mole removal formulas out there. I recommend Derma Tend. It is pretty safe to use. It does not burn the skin. After the moles come off the little scar left can be gotten rid of by using the Derma Tend scar cream. (http://www.dermatend.net/)

Old Fashion Home Remedies For Mole Removal

Unfortunately as a girl I suffered from embarrassing facial moles. Back then I did not know of any do-it-yourself mole removal formulas. However, older relatives gave me some tips on how to remove my moles.

Vinegar

One tip suggested to me was to use vinegar. To use vinegar to get rid of moles one must first take a sharp needle, such as a sewing needle and scratch the mole. Then take a cotton ball dabbed in vinegar and place it on the mole. Hold it there for a minute and then remove it. After a day or two the mole will dry up and come off. There may be a little scar, but if one uses coco butter cream or a scar remover cream it would eventually fade away.

Instead of using vinegar you can use iodine, freshly pounded garlic, or a crushed vitamin C mixed with a drop of water to make a paste and place on the mole. The iodine, garlic, and vitamin C should be applied the same way as the vinegar, and the same results will occur.

Toe Nail Clipper

Some raised moles develop small stalks as they grow. Often these stalks are rubbed off or may break off on their own. However, when these stalks do not come off they can grow quite large. So when a stalk is first noticed use a toe nail clipper to clip it off. Then apply a drop of vinegar, garlic, or vitamin C to the spot to get rid of the rest of the mole.

To avoid infection buy a brand new toe nail clipper and reserve its uses only for clipping the stalks off of moles.

These old fashion remedies really work and they hurt. The vinegar, iodine, garlic, and vitamin C all cause a stinging sensation. The toe nail clipper brings pain as well. The pain can be bearable for one or two moles. However, if you have a lot of moles, and/or big moles, do not even consider using the home remedies. It would be best to use a mole Removal formula, such as Derma Tend instead.

If you choose to remove your moles using home remedies would be best to remove the moles when they are small. Do not wait until they grow big. Removing them when they are small is less painful.

Before attempting to remove your moles on your own, first consult a doctor. Have the doctor to examine the moles to make sure they are not cancerous. Then discuss mole self removal with the doctor to be sure it is right for you. I personally recommend a good mole removal formula, but if you are living on a tight budget the home remedies would be a good option. They work just fine.
