can I use regular white distilled vinegar to remove a mole?

Question

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I would strongly recommend that you not try to remove a mole at home with distilled vinegar or any other at home method.  Moles need to be removed by a physician and some need to be biopsied to make sure they are not dangerous.  Removing a mole at home can cause problems such as infection, scarring and making the mole worse.

I recommend getting an in-person formal evaluation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist. Moles can be removed with a laser, radiowave or shave. If there is any scarring or pigmentation following the removal, your dermatologist can treat those conditions as well. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.  I stress extreme caution when using at home remedies to remove skin lesions as severe wounds or burns may occur. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist to have your mole evaluated and to discuss removal options that are safe and effective.Take care and good luck.
