Facial moles are clusters of pigmented cells that often look like spots on the face. These may be simply flat colored spots on the skin and may also be raised. Most of the times, facial mole removal is not necessary as these are completely harmless. However, in some cases, the moles are cancerous and may be indicative of malignancy.
Moles are usually a result of excessive exposure to sunlight. With over exposure, the pigmentation of the skin cells may propagate and spread to other areas of the body. In most cases, the moles are caused by localized hyper pigmentation.
Medically, facial mole removal requires the use of laser surgery; however, if you are looking for something less invasive or less expensive, you can try using home remedies for facial mole removal. Apply a small amount of apple cider vinegar to the skin where the mole is present. This could help lighten the hyper pigmented skin a little. Another way to lighten the mole is to soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and place it on the mole. Use a band aid to keep the cotton in place. You can leave the cotton in its place over night, and remove it in the morning. To make sure that the apple cider vinegar does not cause any side effects to the surrounding skin, apply some petroleum jelly on the skin. This makes sure that the apple cider vinegar does not seep from the cotton ball. During the rest of the day, you may continue daubing at your face with a cotton ball soaked in vinegar. The mole will begin to shrink in a few days. Eventually, the mole will shrivel off and flake away.
Another mole removal home remedy is the use of garlic. You could use the paste of garlic in a manner similar to the use of apple cider vinegar. Simply use the crushed garlic paste on your mole, and to keep it applied, put a band aid over it. Leave it overnight, and continue rubbing garlic on the mole through the day.
You can also try facial mole removal by using iodine. Keep a ball of cotton with you, and continue cleaning the mole with the help of iodine. Just like with the garlic and the apple cider vinegar, soak a cotton ball in iodine and place it on the mole. Use a band aid to keep the cotton in place. This is an effective mole removal treatment method. Apart from these home remedies for facial mole treatment, you could also approach a doctor for medical treatment.
