“Leaves no marks”, “Safe mole removal”, is the Internet celebrity potion really so magical?

Many people have some moles on their bodies or faces. Those who love beauty think that these moles affect their appearance, so mole removal has become a medical beauty project that is often visited in daily life.

However, recently some "mole removal solutions" claiming to be "safe" and "leaving no marks" have become popular. The prices of these mole removal solutions range from tens to hundreds of yuan. There is no specific product ingredient list and no production license, but they can be found on major shopping platforms, beauty salons, and even street stalls.

Can mole removal solution remove a black mole in 10 days?

The editor checked several mole removal potions with high sales on a certain shopping website, and all of them claimed that the potion was "made of natural herbal formula, mild and non-irritating". However, there was no ingredient list and production qualifications on the product details page. The ingredients claimed in this type of mole removal potion, such as Sophora flavescens and Dictamni, can only play a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory role, and cannot remove moles. Buyers also said that "there is no effect at all" and "this kind of mole removal potion is a scam."

There is also a kind of mole removal lotion that needs more attention. The surface effect of this kind of product can indeed achieve the effect of lightening and removing spots, but this kind of mole removal lotion contains corrosive drugs, which kill local cell tissues of the skin to remove pigmented moles. The moles removed are easy to leave scars, recur, and have the risk of cancer, which brings greater troubles to those who seek beauty. At this point, some friends must be puzzled: it is just removing a small mole, how can it become cancerous? The older generation also used lotions to remove moles when they were young, and I have never seen anyone get cancer because of mole removal!

This is because mole removal solutions are usually made of corrosive chemicals such as strong acids and alkalis. If inferior mole removal solutions are used, the chemicals in them will irritate our skin once they act on the skin. The melanocytes inside the mole are repeatedly stimulated, which will lead to the risk of cancer. In the past, when medical and technological levels were relatively less developed, mole removal with solutions was indeed a traditional and common method of mole removal. With the improvement of medical and technological levels, mole removal with solutions, which is less safe, has a higher recurrence rate, and has great side effects, has gradually been eliminated. However, there are still some lawless elements and unscrupulous merchants who seize people's pursuit of beauty and seek profits by using the gimmicks of "safe and efficient" and "anytime, anywhere" for mole removal with solutions.

In short, although these mole removal lotions that claim to "remove a mole in 10 days" are advertised in a very impressive and attractive way, in fact, these things either have no effect on removing moles at all, wasting the time and money of the patients; or they can temporarily remove moles on the epidermis, but the patients may need to spend countless ten days to repair the sequelae caused by the corrosion of the lotion.

The editor advises all friends that it is not advisable to remove moles with medicine. You should go to a regular hospital or institution for mole removal. Don't seek temporary convenience. Money is a small matter, but health is a big matter. Once cancer occurs, it will cause irreparable damage to the body.

Scientific methods of removing moles

In fact, most of the moles on our bodies are benign and generally do not require treatment. However, due to the desire for beauty, some people think that moles affect their appearance, so they join the team of mole removal. As mentioned above, it is not advisable to remove moles with medicine, so what are the scientific methods of mole removal? Let me share with you some popular science~

At present, there are two main safe and scientific methods for removing moles: laser treatment and surgical treatment.

1. Laser treatment

Moles with a small diameter, generally less than 3 mm , and relatively flat can be treated with laser. The principle of laser mole removal is to use high-energy, high-temperature laser to directly clear the cells of the mole, that is, burn them off. The mole after laser treatment will form a wound and scab. After the scab falls off, we will see our white and tender skin! However, laser treatment of moles twice usually cannot achieve the effect of eradication, and multiple laser treatments are not recommended.

2. Surgery

Moles with a larger diameter, generally larger than 3 mm and raised , should be surgically removed in time and the removed tissue should be subjected to pathological examination. Although surgical treatment sounds a bit scary, it is currently the most effective method for removing moles. Because surgical removal can not only remove the mole itself, but also remove the surrounding normal tissue, which is less likely to recur. Moreover, by performing a pathological examination on the patient's removed tissue, it is possible to determine whether the mole is benign or malignant in a timely manner, thereby protecting the patient's health to the greatest extent. No matter which method of mole removal is chosen, you must follow the doctor's advice after treatment and pay attention to follow-up care.

The editor would also like to remind everyone that to remove moles, you must choose a regular hospital and a regular medical institution with relevant qualifications, and do not go to a beauty salon or small workshops on the street.

Finally, I would like to give you a message: There are so many unique beauties in this world, and all the shortcomings that you mind are unique "characteristics" in the world, so love yourself more!
