How to Treat Moles & Skin Tags Naturally & Medically

Moles (dark spots on the skin) and skin tags (small, soft growths) are usually harmless, but if they bother you cosmetically or cause discomfort, here’s how you can remove them safely.

1️⃣ Natural Remedies for Skin Tags & Moles

🌿 Apple Cider Vinegar – Helps dry out skin tags over time.
🧄 Garlic Paste – Can lighten moles with regular use.
🍍 Pineapple Juice – Contains enzymes that may help fade moles.
🥛 Castor Oil & Baking Soda – Works as a natural exfoliator.
🌿 Tea Tree Oil – Helps shrink skin tags.

🍏 Apple Cider Vinegar (For Skin Tags & Moles)

1️⃣ Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar.
2️⃣ Apply it to the skin tag/mole and secure with a bandage.
3️⃣ Leave it on for several hours (or overnight for skin tags).
4️⃣ Repeat daily until the tag shrinks or the mole lightens.

⚠️ Do a patch test first! ACV can cause irritation on sensitive skin.

🧄 Garlic Paste (For Moles)

1️⃣ Crush fresh garlic into a paste.
2️⃣ Apply it on the mole and cover with a bandage.
3️⃣ Leave for 3-4 hours, then rinse.
4️⃣ Repeat daily until the mole shrinks.

⚠️ Garlic can cause skin irritation, so apply petroleum jelly around the mole to protect the skin.

🌿 Tea Tree Oil (For Skin Tags)

1️⃣ Soak a cotton swab in tea tree oil.
2️⃣ Apply directly to the skin tag twice a day.
3️⃣ Within a few weeks, the tag should shrink and fall off.

2️⃣ Medical Treatment Options (Fast & Safe)

If natural remedies don’t work or you need quick removal, a dermatologist can remove moles and skin tags with:

✅ Cryotherapy – Freezing with liquid nitrogen.
✅ Laser Removal – Works for small moles & tags.
✅ Electrocautery – Burning off the tag with heat.
✅ Excision (Surgical Removal) – Best for larger moles.

3️⃣ When to See a Doctor?

⚠️ If a mole changes shape, color, or grows rapidly, see a dermatologist to rule out skin cancer.
