Final Results: It Works Paste for Mole Removal

This is an extremely dangerous product and in my opinion should be removed from the marketplace. Atypical moles and melanoma can be lethal if only partially removed. What is left over microscopically can become melanoma (if atypical) and if melanoma, can spread elsewhere in the body, undetected because of partial removal. If a mole was to turn into a melanoma, you would see it change it some way if it was still on your skin, alerting you to see a dermatologist. Most people will not go to their dermatologist to get their okay to use this product, they are buying this product to avoid making a trip to the doctor. Even when we, as dermatologists, remove moles we always cut them off and analyze them (biopsy them), we never just burn or freeze them off (other growths that are not moles can be treated this way however.) Sometimes the most normal looking moles can actually be bad.

Do you have to worry about this if melanoma has never occur in family history?

I used the product and it worked well. You need to use some type of anti-scar cream or else it can take months to match the normal skin color. I am very pleased. In response to the Dr Klein above, what about the doctors who do a biopsy removal, tell you it's all gone, and come to find out it came back twice. Sometimes natural products work better.

iam so desperate now i need something that works i removed some moles & freckles with a cream now iam left with red marks the moles went but i wont wear shorts now as they look horrible. have you a product that really works for this?. Thank you Karen

has it faded much more since then?

I used the itworkspaste on 6 areas my doctor said were not cancerous. Unlike the other user, I got no scarring at all. Must be my tough italian skin.

I used the Itworks paste with no problems. It fully removed the moles and the red mark faded with emu oil use. You should treat it with something after removing or it will probably take a while for the red mark to go away.

I used itworkspaste and YES it works. I have 15 moles on each facial cheek. I have to buy alot of itworkspasted in order to get all the facial moles off my facial cheeks. Somes i feel it will be better to see the doctor to have them removed. any help please.

OK, before purchasing this product I did my online research for a few days. I'd say that based on a non scientific approach that about 90% of the feedback indicated that this was an effective product. I chalk up the remaining 10% to people that either didn't follow the directions or have a financial interest in not allowing a product like this on the market. So I forked it over. That being said I agree with what Dr. Klein says. Get the moles checked first by an MD. My MD said at my last physical that nothing seemed unusual so i was good to go. While I waited for the product to arrive I decided to try out some of the off the shelf remedies, in particular the Apple Cider vinegar remedie (1/5/2010). I can say that it works. The procedure is the same. You need to scrape off the top skin layer that is growing over the mole or if it is a raised mole, the protective top layer so that the liquid can get to the heart of the mole. Dab the mole with a qtip soaked in ACV and let it dry up. Do this for 4-5 days in a row, twice a day and the raised mole will darken and slowly shrink. Only scrape the fist time though, not every time you dab it. It's been a week (1/11/2010) and I still have the moles, but they are more like scabs, half the size, and I can see the skin around them slowly growing together pushing the scab (mole) out. Now the ItWorks product came today (1/11/2010). Followed the instructions as described and the first thing I noticed was that the sting was much more intense that the ACV sting. It's a tiny amount that you get, but it does go a fairly long way. I was able to cover about 10 moles. Some raised and some flat. The key is to abrade the surface of the mole first. Immediately after the sting I noticed the surrounding skin turned pink and the moles turned black. The flat moles even elevated a bit above skin level. After the alotted 20 minutes and rinsing the moles off, the pinkness started to fade. The moles remained black, but they have also seemed to receed back to skin level and have a hardness to the surface. I suppose it's the beginning scab stages. So from what I can tell so far the ACV does the same thing that ItWorks does, the only difference is that ItWorks is much more potent and is quicker. Obvioulsy I have not ran either procedure through to the end, but this does seem like a valid option to laser or the knife, and much cheaper. The most important thing to remember is that it will take quite a bit of time for these spots to heal. I agree with what Sierrath says and use emu oil. I bought some of that (the cream version is 11 USD) and it seems to be working nicely. Don't over do it either. This isn't an instant fix. In fact the literature from ItWorks says it could take 21 days for the scab to fall off. DONT PICK THE SCABS! and use an anti scar treatment and I see no reason why this isn't a valid option to going to the doctor. Sierrath

Well there seems to be many mixed emotions posted here.
Really this is just common sense really!
Read instructions carefully, always prepare for any unforeseen things that may happen, for instance,some treatments may not suit your particular skin type.
Generally Body Mole Removal is quite easy.
