How to Avoid Dangerous Mole Removal Products

If you have a mole on your skin that you'd like to get removed, you have options. You can either opt for surgery or use a mole-removal product. However, not all products are safe. Avoid dangerous products by consulting with your dermatologist and following these guidelines.

Instructions

• 1

  Understand what type of mole you have. Some moles are benign and others are malignant.

• 2

  Discuss your skin type and any allergies you might have with your dermatologist.

• 3

  Get a prescription from your dermatologist for a product that he recommends for mole removal.

• 4

  Do not be tempted to buy any products you see advertised. Stick with your prescription.

• 5

  Test the product on your skin before applying it directly to the mole. Wait 24 hours. If there are no side effects, proceed with the treatment.

• 6

  Do not use anyone else's medicine on your skin. It can be dangerous.
