Claimed method: Soak a cotton ball in ACV, apply to the mole for 10–15 minutes daily, or tape it on overnight.
How it works (allegedly): The acid burns the mole tissue over time.
Risks: Skin irritation, chemical burns, and scarring.
2. Garlic
Claimed method: Apply a fresh slice of garlic to the mole, secure it with a bandage, and leave it on for a few hours daily.
How it works: Garlic contains enzymes that some say break down pigment-producing cells.
Risks: Skin burns, especially on sensitive skin.
3. Iodine
Claimed method: Apply 5% iodine solution daily to the mole and cover with a bandage.
How it works: Believed to disrupt cells in the mole.
Risks: Allergic reactions and skin staining.
4. Tea Tree Oil
Claimed method: Dab tea tree oil on the mole 1–2 times daily.
How it works: Known for antibacterial and antiviral properties, but mole removal claims are anecdotal.
Risks: May cause dermatitis in sensitive individuals.
5. Aloe Vera
Claimed method: Apply pure aloe vera gel to the mole several times a day.
How it works: Soothes skin but is unlikely to remove moles.
Risks: Minimal, but results are generally ineffective.
