I recently read a post about using cold pressed castor oil and baking soda...I have 4 large moles on my face, each the size of a pencil eraser....the Dr. wanted $1000.00 to remove...I decided the oil & soda method would be cheaper!!! and thought I would give it a try. I made a thick paste and applied it to my moles and covered them with a round bandage.....it has honestly been a miracle...within 3 weeks my moles have disintigrated and are almost 95% gone. I have been putting the mixture on ever night. The first week the moles swelled(I almost stopped due to fear)but continued on. The second week the moles started wiping away (itchy and some bleeding)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.

How do you tell whether castor oil is cold-pressed or not? I tried just using castor oil (no baking soda) per some website instructions on my moles with very little if any result. I want to try the mix but need to make sure I'm using the right kind of castor oil. My little bottle doesn't seem to say one way or the other.

it says cold pressed, cold processed right on the bottle...you need to get it at a health food/vitamin store...I pour a little onto a spoon...then sprinkle on the baking soda...mix with a q-tip...and keep adding soda a little at a time until it has a thick texture.
I read that about just castor oil online also...I personally think it was wrong...you need to do the mix.

There's an herbal product called Bio-T (available on the net) that works great. I just used it on a mole and it took about 8 days for the mole to fall off, now there's a 'crater' that is rapidly healing. It will most likely leave a scar of some sort though, so I would not recommend using it on your face. Of course, whenever a mole is removed by any method (even by a doctor) it can leave a scar, so you really have to be careful about removing scars on your face. You have to decide which is worse, the mole or a scar.
