We highly discourage people from removing a mole at home or use any DIY kit to remove a mole. At home mole removals are dangerous and often lead to an infection. These types of treatments are never effective, the mole has a strong likelihood of growing back. At home mole removal can also cause severe scarring, which does not go away easily or at all. Also, there are many over the counter mole removal pens, creams and solutions that are sold in stores and online. All of these products and medications are extremely unsafe to use because they are not regulated by the FDA. They can cause more harm than good. They can also destroy the lesion making it harder for dermatologists to check for skin cancerous moles afterwards. This means that the skin cancer could spread unnecessarily and you would not know.
Some at-home dangerous remedies that are NOT recommended include:
• Apple cider vinegar
• Garlic or oregano oil
• Castor oil or baking soda
• Lemon juice and tea tree oil
• Hydrogen peroxide, aloe vera, coconut oil, iodine
• H-mole Formula
• Fibroblast Plasma Pen
