How can I remove moles (on the skin) at home?

I am not a physician, so my input should not be taken as medical advice. In fact, if you are concerned about the color, size, or shape of any moles or freckles on your skin, I urge you to speak to a dermatologist or your general practitioner.

I can tell you a few ways that some people  have successfully removed their moles at home, but I suggest you check with your general practitioner before attempting any of these home remedies.


One thing you will need to consider is whether the moles on your skin are raised or flat. If you have a raised mole, this remedy uses apple cider vinegar to essentially "dry out" the mole until it falls off. This method also works on skin tags. Do be warned that apple cider vinegar is an acidic solution, and can cause some irritation. If the process is painful, give your skin a break for a day or two.


Another option would be to try to fade the coloration of the moles with a clay-based mask. Fuller's earth (also called multani mitti) has been used for centuries to help fade discoloration of the skin. This method would work especially well on flat moles and freckles as opposed to the vinegar treatment.


Do not try to remove moles by cutting or shaving them off, as this can result in infection and scarring.


Once again, if you have any concerns about your moles or freckles, please consult your physician.

In chapter one of The Great Gatsby, what advice does Nick's father give him? How does this make him a good person to tell this story?

Nick says that his father advised him that, before "criticizing anyone," he "remember that all the people in this world haven't had the same advantages" as Nick.  As a result, Nick claims that he is "inclined to reserve all judgments," presenting himself to the reader as a fair and dispassionate arbiter of character, and thus, a reliable narrator.   The problem is that Nick immediately reveals himself as anything but reliable, as he then launches...

Explain and discuss how the definitions of freedom change for the nation, for the freedmen and for southern whites after the Civil War.

After the Civil War, the definition of freedom changed in the nation, as slavery was ended with the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. The practice of slavery was disallowed, but definition of the freedom that would take its place was a subject of controversy, ongoing debate, and even violence in the decades to come.  For freedmen, freedom often meant reconciling with their families, who were broken up by slavery; choosing which church to...
