Bleaching creams: Some bleaching creams are associated with an increased risk of skin cancer particularly when combined with extensive sun exposure or uv radiation. Also it is important to k ow the history of the mole such as the abcd (see diagram) and risks of malignancy.

Creams not effective: If you have a dark mole you can not remove it with creams nor should you try. The only way to remove a true mole is to excise it completely. If your mole has irregular features it should be evaluated by your doctor.

Hard to know: Mole-removing creams are generally not approved by the fda, and are herbal or naturally derived. These have not been rigorously tested and can have significant side effects in the short term and long term. I would advise seeing a dermatologist. If it looks ok, you probably don't need to remove it at all!
