Been looking for quick/easy and healthy, but really effective homemade mole removers. I have flat moles on most of my body, but the ones I want to get rid of are on my face that aren't flat. Had one there since I was a child and suddenly in the past week I noticed another one near my eye starting. Can't get them lazered off or go to a doctor to get them removed so I'm trying the next best option.

I've heard onion juice, fresh pineapple, coriander, and garlic helped. Yesterday I tried the garlic after using an emery board to file it down a bit so the juice of it could seep in. For the first hour I felt it kick in. Painful, but it was working. This morning I looked and I didn't notice even a slight change in the moles.

I am aware it can take anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks of constant care before they go away, depending on what you use.

Anyone else tried these before? How soon ddid you notice results? Any recommendations?

I apologize for any spelling mistakes, typing from my mobile. Lol. Kinda.......broke my laptop a couple weeks ago. ^^;

I hear those remedies only bleach the surface and don't do much after time has past. You can get them laser treated or in some cases I think they can freeze them off?

;I I'm really skeptical about treating moles at home, considering that if you irritate a mole, it may come back unfriendly as ever. Aka problematic, if that happens you'll have to get surgery, which is what I had to get on my thigh-but that was a natural occurrence..

I can understand that. Darn, was hoping it would work. But, at least I know now. Thank you.

You're welcome? Sorry I wasn't much help.

I would make an appointment with dermatologist. There are many specialties in dermatology, when you're looking, look for someone who has experience with cancerous moles, mole removal, mole surgery or even cosmetic mole removal. Since your's is near your eye, I would have a dermatologist take a look and see if there are any gentle remedies for it if you really do not like them or you feel that they are turning into a nuisance.

If you tell your doc the right thing, it will usually work out with your insurance if you claim the mole is causing a health hindrance, like if its big and you feel like its weighing your eye down, or you always end up scratching it in the shower or you feel like it may become cancerous etc.

Don't Try This At Home
I had this one mole on the side of my face that was really annoying to me, so while just sitting around I would scratch it and scratch it over a couple days...it would grow a scab and I would scratch that off and keep scratching and each day it felt like it was getting flatter from the scratching....then after a couple days I just put a band-aid on it and left it alone...when it healed...it looked reduced to 1/3 of the size and was a lighter shade that is closer to my skin tone..
I hadn't intended this the mole had just really been annoying me...but yeah I feel lucky it ended up reduced I don't even notice it anymore...

As for natural at home remedies...sorry I have no clue.. confused

If it dried out on its own it's known as a keratoses, I had one too once, and it would always itch and I thought I had a cancerous mole! But then one day it started to look like it was drying out then I really started freaking out, then a month past and it broke in half!!! I went to the derm in a heartbeat. My derm just laughed and said it was an abnormal growth on the skin that happens to young and middle age adults. They look like moles and warts but they are more like pigmented pimples and just go away after time.

Mind you I had this thing for years almost 4 years then it fell off. Biggest freak out over nothing.
