Mole Removal – Effective And Safe Home Treatments

Mole Removal Treatments – How To Pick The Good From The Bad

So you’re looking for an effective way to get rid of your moles that doesn’t involve surgery.

Google or one of the other search engines looks like a good place to start your search.

And sure enough, after a short search, you’ve identified a dozen or more sites trying to sell you their mole removal cream or treatment program, plus quite a few more acting as their agents.

Mission accomplished. All you need to do is work out which product will do the job at a reasonable cost.

Not too difficult at all!

Well, sort of.

Because while there are products out there which will almost certainly help you get rid of your moles, it’s going to take a while to sort out exactly what the sales sites are telling you, and even then there’s likely to be a bit of trial and error involved in finding the right product.

The patent medicine industry, which is what we’re dealing with here, has long reeked with the aroma of hype, misleading claims, and various varieties of snake oil.

And I’m afraid that things haven’t changed much in the mole removal cream business. And it just gets worse when we start looking at wart treatments.

So how do you separate the sheep from the goats?

Well, you can visit this blog occasionally, and see who the good guys might be. I can’t claim to get things 100% right, but I should be able to point you towards the more effective mole removal treatments. Or you can try and work it out for yourself, because you may be looking for something quite different from what I believe to be a good product.

If you want to do your own research, here are a few hints about how to find the good stuff.

First, find out a bit about your particular problem. If it’s moles, you’ll soon find out that they are usually just a harmless skin disorder. Unlike warts, they are not caused by a virus, so a site which talks about getting rid of the mole virus may be getting it wrong about other things too.

Secondly, a reputable company should be happy to tell you what goes into their product, don’t you think? Not all of them do, although they go to a lot of trouble telling where these mystery plants are grown and how pure they are. They may actually have a good product, but it would be nice to know what’s in it and how it’s going to help you remove those moles.

There is a reasonable exception to this – several people offer information on how to prepare your own mole removal cream or paste at home, using products that you can easily and cheaply find at your local mall. It’s fair enough that they keep their secret to themselves and those who buy their manuals, although the real meat of their booklets is not so much the products they use (castor oil and baking soda are the main ingredients), but the way they are applied, the follow up treatment, and differences in the way different skin conditions are treated. You can find out more about these natural mole removal treatments here.

The third consideration is proof of their effectiveness. The best way to provide this is before and after photos, and testimonials from satisfied customers. The photos are helpful, although credibility drops a long way when the same photos turn up at two apparently unrelated websites. Sounds stupid but it’s true.

Customer reviews and testimonials are usually worthwhile, provided they are displayed on an independent site. It’s not totally unrealistic to think that just occasionally a seller might make up a few testimonials supporting their product just to get things started. It’s definitely unrealistic to think that unfavorable reviews might be shown on a sales page.

So you can look out for some of these warning signs, and come to your own conclusions.

Or you can keep an eye on these pages, because none of the suspect products will get a recommendation here. That’s not to say that every product that’s not listed won’t work – it’s just that there is not yet enough supporting information to justify a recommendation.

And of course I’d welcome more information from any mole removal product manufacturer who think they’ve been unfairly left off these pages.

So that should give you an idea what to expect from the Mole Removal Blog – effective products at competitive prices.

What is the Most Effective Mole Removal Cream?

There are many over- the-counter Mole Removal Creams and preparations available at your local drug store or through the internet, but as is often the case with patent medicines, the quality of information about them is very variable and hard to understand.

But one or two stand out as being effective, as judged by the reports from those who have used them.

Ideally a good mole removal treatment should work quickly and not involve too much time or fuss in its application.

DermaTend fits in very well with this definition, but let’s look closer.

DermaTend is a cream which only needs to be applied once a day. If your moles are small that may be all that is needed, but larger moles may require follow up applications. It is a natural mole removal product that can be applied in the privacy of your own home.

How does it work?                                           

DermaTend is applied only to the mole itself (and it works just as well on warts and skin tags). It basically acts like an acid and eats the mole away. A scab forms on the mole, and provided you let it fall off when it’s ready, there should be no scarring, although slight changes in skin color may persist for a few weeks or months after the treatment.

What’s in it?

There are two main acitve ingredients – bloodroot and zinc butter.
Bloodroot sap is a strong corrosive material which destroys the structure of the mole. Zinc butter, a chemical, acts the same way.

What should I beware of?

Two things.

Firstly, only apply DermaTend (or any other home treatment) to normal moles. Any suspicious moles with irregular shapes, colors, recent increases in size or tendencies to bleed or itch with no good reason should be checked out by an experienced medical practitioner, and removed surgically. Aggressive skin cancers which will develop elsewhere in the body if not treated, often with fatal results, resemble moles. They are called melanomas, and while some treatments claim to cure these dangerous cancers, the risks are too great and severe to use any other form of treatment than complete surgical removal.

And secondly, although both active ingredients are safe to use, it is essential to follow the instructions exactly – if it damages a tough old mole it will also damage normal skin. So make sure that the cream is only applied to the mole itself, and don’t overdo it with flat moles. A good tip is to apply vaseline to the normal skin around the mole to protect it before you start working on the mole itself.

Does it hurt?

Yes, it can sting for a short while. It’s a sign that the mole is being attacked and destroyed. The degree of pain will vary from person to person and may also depend on the location of the mole.

Part of the treatment involves roughening the surface of the mole with an emory board (used in nail treatments) and a needle. If there is no sting when the cream is applied you probably haven’t roughened it up enough.

Anything else?

If your mole is near an eye, consider using a milder treatment. One of the do it yourself home methods would be worth considering, but take care all the same.

Bloodroot has received some bad press in recent years, largely due to misuse and misleading or wrong claims about its role in destroying skin cancers. If used as directed for mole removal, there should be no problems. It is also worth noting that competitive products use similar extracts from closely related plants.

What about a Guarantee?

DermaTend offers a 60 day money back guarantee on return of the unused part of the product. They also provide customer support.

Product Varieties

DermaTend offers an Extra Strength version at a higher cost which is more likely to remove your mole with only one treatment.

Alternatives

Quite a few, mostly using different plants but still relying on corrosive sap based creams. Most don’t provide much useful information in their product descriptions (although there is plenty of spin). A good but slightly more expensive alternative is Wart Mole Vanish.

There are also milder treatments based on plant oils. Again the available information seems a bit light on fact. If you are worried about the rather dramatic method of treatment, the DIY home remedies are worth considering. They are also cheaper if you are thinking of treating 10 or more moles.

Where is it available?

Mostly over the internet. Amazon provides both varieties of DermaTend and may have special deals from time to time.

Summary

Dermatend is a tried and tested product backed by a good record of customer service. You can find it Here and get started on removing your moles within days.
