Home Remedy for Skin Mole Removal

Moles, technically known as nevi, are skin growths that appear anywhere on the body. According to the Mayo Clinic moles are "clusters of pigmented cells that often appear as small, dark brown spots." But moles can be any color, and of varying sizes, shapes and textures. Although some moles disappear over time on their own, there are home remedies for skin mole removal that might make them disappear sooner.

Using Items From the Refrigerator

• Onion juice is a folk remedy for getting rid of moles. Extract the juice from an onion or buy onion juice. Apply the juice a few times a day for up to a week. Fresh garlic cloves cam also remove moles. Cut a clove in half and then cut a thin slice. Place this slice on the mole using a band aid to keep it in place. Keep the garlic on overnight for three nights. Garlic contains sulfur which works on the mole to remove it. On the Earth Clinic website one user reported that garlic worked, but cautioned that it burned the surrounding skin. One way to prevent burning the surrounding skin is to apply petroleum jelly to the area to protect it from the garlic juice.

  Grapefruits may also remove moles, but it takes about a month. Take a fresh grapefruit and squeeze out the juice. Apply the juice several times a day every day for a month for the mole to disappear.
