How to Avoid Dangerous Mole Removal Products

If you have a mole on your skin that you'd like to get removed, you have options. You can either opt for surgery or use a mole-removal product. However, not all products are safe. Avoid dangerous products by consulting with your dermatologist and following these guidelines.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Understand what type of mole you have. Some moles are benign and others are malignant.
2. Discuss your skin type and any allergies you might have with your dermatologist.
3. Get a prescription from your dermatologist for a product that he recommends for mole removal.
4. Do not be tempted to buy any products you see advertised. Stick with your prescription.
5. Test the product on your skin before applying it directly to the mole. Wait 24 hours. If there are no side effects, proceed with the treatment.
6. Do not use anyone else's medicine on your skin. It can be dangerous.
