What Treatments Do Not Work

Dreamstime

Many individuals want to remove their moles at home, and some creams and ointments claim to remove moles. However, most of these do not have any significant research backing up their claims. On top of that, some of the at-home treatments recommended can be dangerous. Another reason not to remove moles at home is because individuals will not know if the mole is cancerous. If individuals do want to do at-home removal, they should always consult a doctor about the best options. Some unproven at-home methods for removing moles include burning them using apple cider vinegar, applying straight iodine that kills the cells inside the mole, cutting the mole off using a razor, or taping garlic over the mole so it breaks down from the inside. None of these have been proven effective. Home mixtures and remedies like banana peels and essential oils also have not been proven effective at treating moles.
