those darn moles - Skin Problems Message Board - HealthBoards

...... now the smallest one is completly gone and the other 3 almost...I figure it took 40 years to grow them...I can be patient waiting for them to go....the mixture does sting....small price to pay...and they look unsightly right now, but I cover them with makeup...and I fully expect the skin to scab and then clear up with minimal scaring.

cactus... is there a scar where the smallest one was? and are your flat or raised?

All my moles are were raised, big and brown. 1 month later they are flat and white...the mixture did leave a crater (as mentioned in the previous post)but it healed over. I was also worried about scaring...because yes, this is my face...but I have been very patient not to pick at the drying skin and scabs that formed. If you can afford to have them professionally removed I would persue that....this was something I could afford and I have been happy with the results...I would rather have a small white scar easily covered with make up, instead of big unsightly moles...oh, FYI, I have very fair skin.

Oh...what is Bio-T?
Is it that similar to a remover where you scrape your mole with a needle and apply a topical cream that makes the mole fall off? If so, I researched that and read some testimonies that left me to conclude I did not want to use that.
If any one has had success with that let us know.

As I mentioned, I used Bio-T and it worked very well. Others here on this board have also used it with success. It takes anywhere from 6-10 days for the mole to fall off. You don't have to scrape the mole, just apply the ointment once a day and cover with a bandaid. The entire mole will fall off in one piece, and won't ever grow back. Now I'm using it on a skin tag, which should be even faster to remove than the mole. You get enough ointment in the jar to remove several moles or skin tags. It also removes warts, which DO need to be scraped first because of their tough outer skin. I would probably have tried the castor oil treatment if I had known about it.

CACTUS........
sorry.. but did your say that you think having them professionally removed would be a better choice than trying the oil and baking soda method? I want mine gone. I don't want big craters . And would not mind if they were FLAT. but the older I get the bigger and higher they get. I feel like I have M&M's on my face. I will pay to have them removed if I can find a method that will leave minimal scarring.
