NATURALLY REMOVE THESSE! MOLES, WARTS, SKIN TAGS, AGE SPOTS.
Your skin is constantly being
exposed to different chemicals and factors such as sun and pollution.
But it also suffers from hormonal
imbalances, stress, and unhealthy diets.
The most common issues that our skin
endures are moles, warts, skin tags, age spots, and blackheads.
The good news is that there are
numerous natural ways to treat these problems! While these “natural treatments”
are not cures and they should not replace professional medical treatment, it’s
worth it to try them out! Before trying any of these natural remedies out,
always be sure to speak to a doctor or dermatologist first to make sure that
what you are doing is safe.
1. Moles
Moles are common growths on a
person's skin.
Most people actually have about 10
to 40 moles all over their bodies.
Most moles are not harmful and do
not pose any health risks.
Moles which could be harmful are
ones that change over time.
These changes can include
differences in color or shape.
These types of moles could be a sign
of skin cancer, which is why it is always a good idea to visit a dermatologist
if you notice any changes in shape, size, or color in a mole on your body.
According to MedicineNet, a mole is
composed of melanocytes, which are the pigment producing cells of the skin.
When moles are exposed to the sun,
they become darker and can appear anywhere on the skin.
To remove them naturally, Health
line suggests that you tap garlic to the mole so you can break it down from the
inside.
This is one of the most effective
natural remedies for removing moles because of the enzymes that are in garlic.
These enzymes help break down the
collections of pigment-producing cells.
Garlic also helps lighten the color
of the mole as well.
Another effective natural remedy for
removing moles is apple cider vinegar, says health line.
This is a popular remedy because of
the acidity that is in apple cider vinegar.
The acidity helps scab the mole and
if it works effectively, it will fall off over time.
To perform this remedy, dip a cotton
ball in apple cider vinegar and put it on the affected area.
Put a bandage on it and put medical
tape on it.
Leave it on overnight and do this
for 10 days or until the mole falls off.
We should note that certain home
mole removal methods can be harmful.
As tempting as some of these
techniques may be, sometimes it is best to visit a dermatologist instead.
Although there are certain creams
you can buy at pharmacies which can remove moles, many of these creams can
result in large scars which take the mole’s place.
Another risk that is involved with
removing a mole by yourself is that if it is not checked by a dermatologist,
you won't know if the mole is cancerous or not.
If you remove a mole yourself and
the mole is cancerous, it could spread throughout your body.
This is extremely dangerous, and is
why you should never consider removing your own mole by yourself.
It is always best to see a
dermatologist first to ensure that it is not cancerous or to have it removed
professionally.
2. Warts
Health line defines warts as bumps
on your skin that are caused by human papillomavirus.
The best treatment for removing
warts is apple cider vinegar according to health line.
The acid in vinegar burns and slowly
destroys the infected skin, which can cause the wart to fall off.
The irritation of the acid in apple
cider vinegar actually stimulates the ability to fight off the wart.
To perform this remedy, mix two
parts of apple cider vinegar with water.
Soak a cotton ball in the mixed
solution and apply it directly to the wart.
Tape the cotton to the wart and
leave it on overnight and remove it in the morning.
Repeat this every night until the
wart falls off.
There are also many different over
the counter wart removers you can purchase if you do not want to risk removing
a wart on your own.
3. Skin Tags
Skin tags are soft, benign growths
that form within the skin folds of the armpits, eyelids, groin, and breasts,
says health line.
These types of growths are loose
collagen fibers that become stuck inside a thicker area of skin.
Skin tags are considered harmless,
and do not cause medical complications.
In fact, some skin tags can fall off
on their own, while medical removal is available as well.
Some people remove their skin tags
because certain larger skin tags can cause pain when they catch onto clothing,
while others may remove them strictly for cosmetic purposes.
One of the top natural remedies
according to health line is tea tree oil.
Tea tree oil contains antifungal and
antiviral properties, so health line says it is safe for use on the skin (as
long as you dilute it with a carrier oil since repeatedly using undiluted tea
tree oil can dry the skin over time).
However, it can irritate the eyes,
so if you’re applying it in that area, be sure to apply with care.
To perform this remedy, wash the
affected area and then use a cotton swab and gently massage the oil mixed with
the carrier oil over the skin tag.
Put a bandage on it and let it sit
overnight.
Do this every night until the skin
tag dries up and falls off the skin.
There are also certain skin tag
removal kits which are available at pharmacies.
These kits can be used to cut off
the skin tag's supply of blood.
When this is done, the cells die and
the skin tag usually drops away within a period of ten days.
You can also purchase skin tag
removal creams or even a freezing kit which are both available at pharmacies.
4. Blackheads
When there is a clog or plug in the
opening hair follicles of the skin, a blackhead can form.
Each follicle contains one sebaceous
gland and hair that produces oil.
The oil is called sebum and helps
keep the skin soft.
When there are dead skin and oil
cells, they collect in the opening to the skin follicle and produce a bump
which is called comedone.
If the skin on the bump opens, it
will be exposed to the air and will cause a blackhead to form, according to health
line.
One of the best remedies for
removing blackheads is lemon juice.
The acidic and citric properties in
lemons help tighten the pores which can help remove and even prevent further
blackheads.
But use lemon juice sparingly, and
instead use a glycolic or lactic acid-based exfoliant.
This is because in some cases, raw,
undiluted lemon juice can be phototoxic, meaning that it reacts to sunlight negatively,
causing irritation.
Lemon juice can also change the
natural pH balance of your skin, and it can also cause hyperpigmentation and
sensitivity to the sun, according to the True Skin Care Center.
5. Age Spots
Age spots can be black, grey or
brown flat spots on your skin.
In most cases, they occur on
sun-exposed areas of the body, according to health line.
One way to naturally remove an age
spot is by using onions.
Onions contain sulfur compounds that
act as an antiseptic.
Onions can also facilitate
exfoliation.
If you want to perform this remedy,
all you need to do is slice up some onions and rub the slices on the affected
area between two to three times a day.
If you have moles, warts,
blackheads, skin tags or age spots and want to remove them naturally for
cosmetic reasons, you should speak to a dermatologist first to ensure that you
are doing it safely and not putting your skin at risk.
It is always best to seek advice
from a professional before attempting to remove anything from you skin.
Improper removal of things such as
warts or skin tags can leave scars.
And although most moles are not
cancerous, there is always the possibility that if you try to remove your own
mole, you may be removing a cancerous one, which could mean that cancer will
spread throughout your body and even become undetected.
As always, it is in your best
interest to speak to a medical professional or a dermatologist to find out what
your options are if you have certain issues that you are self-conscious about.
It is always best to remove skin
issues with a professional, as this can significantly reduce any risks which
can occur as a result of self-removal of warts, blackheads, moles, age spots,
or skin tags.
