Removing Skin Moles

Skin moles can be painful, irritating and aesthetically unappealing.

The most important thing to consider about moles is not their appearance, but their effect on the body’s health.

Most moles are benign growths (aka non-cancerous), however it is important to monitor your moles and report any changes to your doctor, this is especially true if your family has a history of melanoma.

If you notice a change in any of the following characteristics of your moles, visit your doctor as soon as possible:

If your moles begin to bleed, swell or become infected, medical attention should also be sought immediately.

In all other cases, there are various home remedies for mole removal and natural cures to help eliminate the appearance of moles on the skin.
