I have a few moles on my face and neck area, comparatively small but distinctive. I also have one on the back of my palm and almost exactly on the centre of my back. I was planning to do surgery for the moles. The larger ones (hand & back) should be easy to remove, but I'm worried about the ones on my facial and neck area, I think they would require much precise surgery for their removal. I studied somewhere that applying a mixture of baking soda and castor oil, and leaving them for a few hours on the moles will do good. Is it true and should I go for a trial? Or should I go for other medical steps including surgery. Please Help! Thank You!

Hi lybrate-user, For removal of moles, there are treatments available like, RF cautry removal, TCA-occlusion removal cryotherapy and many more. Do not attempt to remove them yourself or try any such home based methods. They can lead to pain, bleeding infection and scarring. Please meet a cosmetic physician or dermatologist in your city and seek professional help.
