Using Iodine to remove moles

by admin on January 15, 2009

Here are some testimonials from our readers after they read about our natural mole removal home remedies.

Tim from Berkeley, California writes: “PAINTED IODINE MAKES A MOLE OR SKIN TAG FALL OFF: I had just been checked for skin cancer at my HMO and was told that the blemishes on my skin were non-cancerous, so hving read all of the positive results with iodine, I decided to try it for myself. I ordered Lugol’s online and applied it to a “mole” (for lack of a more specific term) on my hand which had appeared a few years ago. I applied it once per day for about 3 weeks and it disappeared. After about 2 weeks the skin started to get a bit dry and flakey so after 3 weeks I stopped applying the iodine. About 1 week later the flakey skin flaked off to reveal the lack of any “mole”. I am going to try this again on a few more of these “moles” on other parts of my body. Thanks!”
Steve from Metairie, Louisiana writes: “I have had at least 10 moles removed by my dermatologist, and after they were burned off (they usually burn, or freeze them), It took about 2 weeks for the cuts to heal (depending on the depth of the cut). Then, once the skin was basically healed, a pink mark was left behind. After a while (usually a month or two), my color would return and blend in with the surrounding area. Some of the areas that my dermatologist cut left a hole in my skin, which has never filled in. So far, Iodine has removed moles from my skin, but never left any mole removal scars (depressions) in my skin.”
Donna (gem_of_blue[at]yahoo.com) from Dalton, GA writes: “I had been reading about Iodine and how it could get rid of different skin lesions, so I decided to give it a try on several Sebaceous Keratoses on my torso, several quite large. It has worked wonderfully. It took about 2 weeks for them to go away, and I applied it 2x a day most days. I put it on with a q-tip and let it dry before getting dressed. I sometimes scratched them lightly first with a emery nail file before applying the iodine. I use the Lugols, because I also take it by drops internally each day.”
Steve from Metairie, Louisiana writes: “Iodine worked to remove my moles. Make sure to gently scratch (softly) and then apply the iodine. I applied the iodine at least 3X’s a day.”
Darren from Walhalla, SC writes: “Iodine helped get rid of moles but left pink spots how do I make the pink spots heal faster or blend in with the skin?”
Shane Sunbury, Victoria, Australia writes: “Thank you everyone. Iodine worked brilliantly for removing my moles. The trick was to rub them with a pumice stone or scratch them with a needle before applying the iodine 2-3 times a day. Hey presto ! Mole gone in a week to 10 days. Once the moles turn hard you can stop applying the iodine. I also found apple cider vinegar worked as well, but must be careful not to over apply as it irritates the surrounding skin (only needed to apply this for 2-3 days to kill the mole. Thanks to this site for the information, I never thought it would be so easy.”
Diane Chesapeake, VA writes, “I use tincture of iodine (everyday) on skin ulcers which refuse to heal. Sometimes I apply iodine 2 to 3 times a day. I never miss a day when treating squamous cell carcinoma. The area being treated by the tincture of iodine often becomes very sensitive or itchy…don’t discontinue the iodine…keep applying iodine on the ulcer. The itchy skin will scab up…it’s just the healing process. Scrape off the skin if it again develops a white flaky patch or a brown scab…then, apply more iodine. Use the iodine for at least one to two months until the skin ulcer has completely disappeared. Then, use Retin-A cream to complete the skin rejuvenation process. Use Raw Organic Palm Fruit Oil along with the iodine to promote deep healing and also use Raw Organic Palm Fruit Oil along with sun block to prevent future skin damage. The ulcer patches have developed on my hands and lower arms. One skin damaged area shows my skin separating on crease lines on top of my wrist. The day after I applied the tincture of iodine to the separating skin, the crease lines showed signs of healing, as blood circulation appeared in the area. The areas I treat are all about the size of a quarter, which is larger than the freckle-sized spot. I figure the underlying skin damage takes in a larger area and it may only show up on the skin as a small freckle-sized spot. Last, everyone will ask you why you are using iodine on your skin…it’s orange…it’s sooo old fashioned. Don’t let the embarrassment of orangey skin stop your self-treatment…it beats having a doctor remove the cancer and leaving you with holes where the carcinoma or melanoma used to be. I use this treatment on all skin problems, to include possible melanoma. In addition to the topical treatment, I plan to add a daily dose of Lugol’s Iodine in my drinking water. I want to treat all cancers and other health problems from within. I have red hair and white skin with lots of freckles, and I am very sun sensitive. I have been terribly burned year after year while growing up in California. I am now 56 years old, and the skin cancer is just starting to appear. That’s why I feel it necessary to add the Lugol’s Iodine daily to my drinking water.”
Teresa, from Lowell, North Carolina writes, “I had a raised mole to come up on my face and several skin tags to appear under my arm. I was embarrassed by the mole on my face, but didn’t have the money to have it removed. Using a q-tip, I rubbed iodine on both the mole and skin tags at night before going to bed. Within 3 to 7 days the skin tag dried and fell off while the mole went away. I have shared this information with my sister who has removed several as well.”
Brenda, from Bear, DE writes, “Iodine is excellent for toenail fungus, ringworm, fever blisters, moles and skin tags, hangnails, etc. Just a few drops on a q-tip is all it takes. Use daily until the “boo-boo” is gone.”

Using Garlic to Remove Moles

by admin on January 15, 2009

After reading my post on natural mole removal remedies, many readers have written and thank me for how garlic have helped them to remove their moles. Here is what they wrote:
Phil from Toronto, Ontario writes: “Ok well I resently got my hair cut for a hockey tournament, in the form of a mohawk, just for laughs. Afterwards i discovered a large mole on the back of my head, about a 1/4 of an inch in diameter. This mole was in plain sighy and because UI attend high school i felt it necessarie to remove it as soon as possible if possible. I used the garlic remedy, taped small amount of garlic to the mole on my head. after two days of sleeping with it and keeping it on during the day I eventualy lost hope and thought maybe since this mole was there since i was a baby it could not be cured. so on the third day i stoped taping the garlic then after my shower i realised it had just fallen off. WOW like i mean wow this really does work!!!!!!!!! Be careful cause the garlic left quite a burn on my head.”
Pam from Santa Barbara, CA writes, “I have many small moles on my torso so I thought I would give some remedies a try. The one I put garlic on was about 3/8 inch big and slightly raised. I squeezed the garlic and put it on a bandaid. It tingled all day so I figured it was working. That evening when I took off the bandaid I saw a burn that was about 3/4 inch round, very sore and inflamed. So I guess the warnings were right. I suspect that my garlic was fresher and stronger than some others. The mole I am trying the iodine cure on is still getting iodine on a bandaid twice a day – nothing different after 4 days. The little cluster of moles I am using coconut oil on are unchanged after 4 days. I’ll keep you posted. But anyone who is trying the garlic cure should use some unpetroleum jelly to surround the mole and prevent burning. Good luck, Pam”
Trisha from Singapore writes, “My mom had a 1 inch diameter mushroom like mole that would fester. She had it for over 30 years..at the side of her breast. when she was in her 70s she heard about garlic and started taking it to lower her high blood pressure, she would take 2-3 cloves every night ( chopped finely and tucked into her mouth like a pill, & swallowed it down with a glass of sweet drink.. ) after 6 months she realized that the mole started to dry up -no more festering- and after a year it started shrinking and simply flaked off bit by bit..after 2 years it completely dissapeared, todate it is only a dot left. completely cured what could have been cancerous ? She continues to take 3 cloves of garlic daily, to keep her blood pressure down, she is 84 years old, lives alone in a flat in Malaysia.
Debbie from Georgia writes, “I took garlic – 1 clove a day for 2 weeks – but have just switched to garlic tablets – one equate odorless per day. Hope these work as well as the real thing.  My husband has been taking one clove of garlic a day for 2 weeks for bloodpressure. One side effect that we did not expect was his skin improvement. He had around 10 flat dark color moles on his back and one wart on his lower chest that he has had for many years. Two days ago I was scratching his back and noticed that the moles were flaking off. I began to brush them off and there appears to be healthy skin was underneath. His skin also appears pinker and healthier. He noticed that the mole on his lower chest is also gone. I have never heard of this side effect of garlic and I am amazed at the change in his skin. I just hope it is improving the inside as much as it has the outside.”
Linda, from Scarborough, NY writes, “Moles. I had several moles that I wanted gone. I taped a small piece of garlic over the mole, scraping the flat side of the garlic that touches the mole so the juice can get onto it. I slept with this garlic remedy and kept it on during the day. Within two to three days, the mole, in each case, disappeared completely, leaving only a small indentation where the mole once was. The skin is now pink and healthy. (If something looks really suspicious, however, do go see a doctor. You might try this first and see if it works.) “
Kyle from Watford writes, “Garlic made my skin mole smaller but red marks came up under it.”
Susan from Lubbock, TX writes, “I am in the process of removing a mole on my arm. I know it is working because it stings. It actually blistered up and broke. Now the skin in drying up. I am sure it will remove this lifetime ugly mole. Yeh!”
Barbara from Hagatna, Guam writes: “I was skeptical in trying the methods, but I took a chance and used the garlic mole removal remedy. I only applied it for a couple of hours and took it off. I burned the moles that I have and it also gave me a scar on my face. But it removed the moles on my shoulder and also on my forehead. I still have a mole on my face but it seems to be shrinking and I’m content with it. If anyone tends to try the garlic on their face, please make sure you apply it on the mole and not have the garlic touch your face. Thanks for the remedy, Im satisfied with the results.”
Dave from Ottawa, Canada writes: “I have had flat moles on my upper body all of my life. I’ve had some removed by doctors and always was left with scaring. I decided to try my luck with garlic on two moles. I cut two thin slices the shape of the moles and taped them on top of the moles using midical tape. I changes the garlic twice a day for three days. On the third day the moles puffed up like a blister. It’s worked, and now I’m doing the rest! Who knew something as cheap as garlic would be a cure.”
James writes, “I have been using the garlic cure for about 3 days and though it seems to have shrunk, there is also a small yellow lump appearing just beneath it were garlic has also been touching the skin. I don’t know if this ok or should i stop.”
Anonymous writes, “I had a small mole on my arm that the doctor wanted to cut off, it was turning a strange shape and was red in parts. I was booked for getting it cut off, but in the meantime had found that taping a slice of garlic to it can help. I taped it on and refreshed it a few times a day, within a few days the actual mole had lifted out and there was a hole there where the problem part of the mole was!) i showed the doctor and he was surprised but there was no need to remove it.”
Charlene from Australia writes, “Thanks for the great suggestion. And after a more research from the Heathboard.com forum, I decided to take the plunge. It worked in 8 days. Scabbed in 4 and dropped off in 4. I am so grateful to this website. I am also a believer of home remedies and believe that science still has a lot of catching up to millions of years of experience.”
Mac from Sydney writes, “Garlic stuck on with tape cured moles that i hated.  Thanku all for helping us, but for the people who it didn’t work for — U DID IT WRONG!”
T.S. from United Kingdom confirms, “Not being confident about wearing a swimsuit because of a number of moles on my back I am so happy that I stumbled across this quick and effective remedy to curing moles. It works. I was a bit sceptical but after treating a mole on my back and finding out for myself that it does work I will be tackling the others too. Next summer I will be able to wear a swimsuit with confidence.”
James from Belfast, Ireland reports that garlic cured, “A mole on my left cheek. It stings so I knew it was going to work, after the garlic dried a bit I cut it up and crushed it, I thought to add some vinegar to it which worked perfectly because it is an acid it works with the iodine to beat the mole! Make sure to crush it and put a bit of vinegar in, get a bit of kitchen role and scrunch it up, soak up the vinegar and make sure you get some garlic, the garlic sticks to the mole and works even better. USE IT IT WORKS.”
Ahmad from Sidney writes, “hey i tried the garlic remedy i put it on the mole and it started stinging. i slept with it an i realized it was smaller.”
Sanjay from Leicester, UK writes, “i kept crushed garlic on the mole and covered it with a bandage and left it over night but it got worse, my skin was burnt by the garlic.”
A Edwards writes, “I tried the Garlic and Apple Cider Vinegar remedy. It did not work!! it left a big big scar down the side of my face and the mole did not disappear. i suggest you use petroleum jelly around the skin (vaseline) if you wanted to do this remedy.”

Paul from Haywards Heath, UK writes: “Garlic for superficial skin tumors — I applied a slither of fresh garlic on a skin lesion abnormal but small skin growth under left eye for one week, appling for a duration of 5 mins untill it stung and was a little red…the lesion shrunk and has disapeared. Thanks so much!”
