Can I Remove a Mole at Home with Duct Tape?

You cannot remove a mole with duct tape.  The only way to remove a mole is through a surgical procedure, either a shave removal or an excision.  Some people believe that warts can be treated with duct tape and there are some studies to support this.  However a mole needs to be removed by a dermatologist and sent to the laboratory to ensure that the mole is benign.  Please find a board certified dermatologist with experience in skin cancer and cosmetics for the best result.

Your at-home method for removing a mole with duct tape is pure myth - this is not an effective way to remove lesions from the skin. Furthermore, the only way to definitively tell if your mole is cancerous is by doing a biopsy and examining the mole under the microscope. For optimal results, as well as to avoid scarring, bleeding infection, and other complications, mole removal should be performed by a dermatologist or surgeon that has experience in this area.
