I have two flat moles on my cheek. I am trying to remove them with aloe vera. Does it work?

Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

I would opt for an expert who specializes in minimal scar mole removal. Laser options can reduce mole prominence without scarring. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

It is difficult to answer a question regarding your mole without examining you in person; however, aloe vera is not a known treatment for mole removal.  While aloe may have benefits for skin care it is unlikely to provide any benefit to help remove this mole.  With this information, it is important that you be evaluated by a health care profession to make sure that these lesion are in fact "flat moles" as this will really change treatment. 
To see if you are a good candidate for mole removal,  please see a Board Certified or Board Eligible Plastic Surgeon to evaluate if you may benefit. Good luck!

If you are concerned with the moles, the best option is to go to a Dermatologist to have them checked. Otherwise, Aloe Vera is not a known or recommended treatment for removing moles.
