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 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.

What is hyperbole in the story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry?

The most obvious use of hyperbole in "The Gift of the Magi" occurs when the narrator describes Della's and Jim's evaluations of their two treasures—her long, luxuriant hair and his gold watch. Had the Queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels and gifts. Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his...

What are some literary devices in Macbeth, Act V, Scene 1?

Act V, Scene i of Macbeth certainly continues the imagery that is prevalent in the play with its phantasmagoric realm, as in this scene a succession of things are seen or imagined by Lady Macbeth. Imagery - The representation of sensory experience Lady Macbeth imagines that she sees bloody spots (visual imagery) on the stairs; she also smells blood (olfactory imagery): Here's the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not...

Examine the boy’s “interior monologues,” the italicized parts of the story in "Barn Burning." What do these parts tell us about the boy,...

With the italicized sections of "Barn Burning," Faulkner is using a Modernist style of narration called perspectivism. In this style, the narrator is omniscient only in regard to one character, at least for a given part of the story where the technique is used. Thus the action of "Barn Burning" is experienced through the boy Sarty's perspective, and events are interpreted through the way he perceives them. The italicized portions of the story take us deep into Sarty's psyche and usually give words to either the conflicts he is experiencing or the hopes he has for resolving those conflicts. As the story opens and Abner Snopes appears before a Justice for burning a barn, Sarty's thoughts voice his loyalty to his father, but the intensity of their expression indicate that the loyalty requires effort on Sarty's part. As they ride away in their wagon, Sarty begins to hope: "Maybe he's done satisfied now, now that he has..." As yet he cannot
