Hello,
About six weeks ago now I tried the baking soda/castor oil combination to remove a dermal mole on my chest (about 1/2 a centimetre in diameter). For those unaware of the process it involves this:

1. Scratch mole with a sterile needle.
2. Rub in castor oil/baking soda combination.
3. Apply band-aid.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 twice a day.

After about 3 weeks, however, I gave up as it didn't seem to be working. During this stage the mole would bleed slightly. It's now 3 weeks (and a bit) after I stopped doing this and I think the mole may be -slightly- bigger. There haven't been any other changes though (colour, bleeding, itching etc). Could the baking soda/castor oil combination have caused this? Am I worrying over nothing?

Thanks in advance..

The only thing I can honestly say is that is not a smart idea. Why would you do that? If it bothers you, go to a derm and get it taken off and checked! I don't think you can make it turn into Melanoma but you can cause infections and scarring. And who knows...
