Skin moles are types of lesions that can be present at birth or develop over time. Most skin moles are benign, but some are a sign of skin cancer. Even if you do not have a problem mole, you may want to remove it for aesthetic reasons. Maybe it is highly visible or in an inconvenient place. Surgical mole removal can be expensive, so many people try to remove them at home. Hydrogen peroxide can help in your mole removal.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Food-grade hydrogen peroxide (35%)
  • cotton balls or cotton swabs
