Skin moles are common, usually harmless, and vary in size and color. While many people choose to leave them alone, some may want to lighten or reduce their appearance for cosmetic reasons. If you’re looking for natural home remedies, here are a few safe and popular options — but remember: always consult a dermatologist before treating moles at home, especially if they change shape, size, or color.
⚠️ Important First Step:
Before using any remedy, make sure the mole is:
- Stable (not growing or changing)
- Smooth-edged
- Even in color
If not, get it checked by a healthcare professional to rule out anything serious.
