A member asked:
Other than having surgery or getting a punch biopsy, are there any other ways of lighten moles? like any home remedies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Forget the do it yourself. Can you take out your own appendix? See a dermatologist for diagnosis and possible therapy. "Moles" is not a medical diagnosis. Any treatment depends on exactly what is there.
