posted in Other on Aug 11, 2015
Most moles are harmless, posing no health concerns. They are problematic primarily from an aesthetic point of view as many people find them unattractive. Medically known as melanocytic nevi, moles are black, brown, or flesh-colored spots or patches on the skin that form due to the collection of melanocytes. Melanocytes are cells that produce pigment, the coloring substance also called melanin. Most moles appear by the age of 20 or 30. They can be flat or raised, rough or smooth, with or without hair. Factors like genetics, hormonal fluctuations and sun exposure may affect the number and
appearance of your moles 1. Garlic Garlic is one of the most effective home remedies for moles because it contains enzymes that help break down the clusters of pigment-producing cells. Plus, it helps lighten the dark pigmentation. Crush a fresh garlic glove and place it on the mole. Secure it with a bandage and leave it on overnight, or at least for four hours. Do this daily for a few days. The mole will then fall off naturally. This method is said to give positive results with merely five days of daily application. Make sure to disinfect the area with rubbing alcohol or another disinfectant
disinfectant before repeating the process daily. Plus, to protect the skin surrounding the mole, apply some petroleum jelly or oil. Warning: Applying garlic on skin can cause redness and irritation. 2. Apple Cider Vinegar Dip a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and place it on the affected area. Secure it with a bandage or medical tape and leave it on overnight. Do this daily for about 10 days or until the mole falls off. Alternatively, you can rub warm water on the mole or lightly scrape the surface with an emery board and then apply cider vinegar on it until it turns white. Leave i
it on until it dries naturally. Do this several times a day. Apple cider vinegar is likely to make the mole worse in the initial few days, but it will get better in a week. If it leaves a scar, apply coconut oil. Note: To protect the skin around mole, apply petroleum jelly on the surrounding area before applying apple cider vinegar.
4. Flaxseed Oil Flaxseed oil is particularly useful for removing raised moles. It softens the moles and loosens them around the edges so they can easily come off. Mix enough finely ground flax seeds and honey with flaxseed oil to make a paste. Apply it on the affected area and leave it on for at least one hour. Follow this remedy three times a day for a few weeks. 5. Iodine Clean the affected area and apply a drop of 5% iodine solution on your mole. For flat moles, you can also scratch it slightly with an emery board before applying the iodine. Cover it with a bandage or gauze and le

Do this daily until you are satisfied with the results. 8. Onion Juice Extract fresh onion juice and apply it on the affected area using a cotton swab.
