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 the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a...

What are some external and internal conflicts that Montag has in Fahrenheit 451?

 Montag, the protagonist of Fahrenheit 451, faces both external and internal conflicts throughout the novel. Some examples of these conflicts are: External Conflicts: Conflict with the society: Montag lives in a society that prohibits books and critical thinking. He faces opposition from the government and the people who enforce this law. Montag struggles to come to terms with the fact that his society is based on censorship and control. Conflict with his wife: Montag's wife, Mildred, is completely absorbed in the shallow and meaningless entertainment provided by the government. Montag's growing dissatisfaction with his marriage adds to his external conflict. Conflict with the fire captain: Montag's superior, Captain Beatty, is the personification of the oppressive regime that Montag is fighting against. Montag's struggle against Beatty represents his external conflict with the government. Internal Conflicts: Conflict with his own beliefs: Montag, at the beginning of th...

In A People's History of the United States, why does Howard Zinn feel that Wilson made a flimsy argument for entering World War I?

"War is the health of the state," the radical writer Randolph Bourne said, in the midst of the First World War. Indeed, as the nations of Europe went to war in 1914, the governments flourished, patriotism bloomed, class struggle was stilled, and young men died in frightful numbers on the battlefields-often for a hundred yards of land, a line of trenches. -- Chapter 14, Page 350, A People's History of the United States Howard Zinn outlines his arguments for why World War I was fought in the opening paragraph of Chapter 14 (referenced above). The nationalism that was created by the Great War benefited the elite political and financial leadership of the various countries involved. Socialism, which was gaining momentum in Europe, as was class struggle, took a backseat to mobilizing for war. Zinn believes that World War I was fought for the gain of the industrial capitalists of Europe in a competition for capital and resources. He states that humanity itself was punished by t...
