Moles, warts and skin tags are typically not a pleasant experience for their bearers, especially when the growth appears on very visible parts of the body such as the face or the arms. In a society where good looks are so important, the appearance of a large and unsightly mole can cause a lot of anxiety, and even lead to depression and under-confidence. So, if you are anxious to get back unblemished skin, there are some home remedies as well as medical treatments and procedures to get rid of moles.
Checking for Cancer
While moles are usually harmless, there is always some concern that the growth might be cancerous. It is not likely, but it is possible, and one should be concerned especially if the size, color and shape of the mole appears to change suddenly, or there is serious itching and pain, accompanied by oozing, crusting and scaling. In fact, if any kind of growth has appeared on your skin after the age of 20, consulting a physician or a dermatologist is the most advisable precautionary step. The doctor will send a sample of your mole for cancer testing. Besides, a doctor can also offer you crucial advise on the most effective medical mole removal procedures.
Home Remedies
If you are not desperate to go in for an immediate medical procedure, it may be a good idea to try a couple of natural mole removal methods first. Some of the common home remedies include overnight application of fresh pineapple juice to the affected area, leaving a slice of garlic in a cloth bandage on the mole overnight or even a slice of potato, consuming potassium-rich foods regularly such as apple cider vinegar, and applying the inside of a banana peel on the mole. These are just a few of the treatments available. It is best to try to consult someone amongst your family or friends who has used a home remedy treatment successfully. However, bear in mind that whichever natural remedy you choose, it will need to be used for several days before results can be evaluated.
Peel-Off Creams
Peel-off creams are also available to remove moles, but these too need to be used consistently to display effective results. Also, since most of these products have herbal as well as chemical ingredients, it is best to consult a dermatologist before beginning this treatment.
Medical Treatments
The quickest way to remove moles is the use of one of the various medical treatments available. Laser treatment is becoming quite popular nowadays, and it is used in combination with a surgical incision. The advantage of the laser method is that the skin is left smooth and relatively unblemished after the treatment. Freezing the mole with cryotherapy is another common treatment. Chemical and dermabrasion treatments are available too, and they work by peeling of the topmost layer of the skin. None of these methods are particularly painful or longwinded. They are all simply administered treatments, and a good dermatologist will be able to educate you on the pros and cons of each method.
With so many treatment methods available, you have no reason to think that it is a pain to get rid of moles. However, before attempting any mole removal methods, keep in mind that a small mole is not always received grudgingly. There are a lot of people out there who consider it very attractive and regard it as a beauty mark.
