No, I don't recommend trying to remove a mole with garlic, this should be done by a professional. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Moles can be removed with lasers, radiowave or shave. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I do not recommend you use any herbal treatment to attempt to remove a mole until it has been evaluated by a physician, preferably a dermatologist.   You might be treating a skin cancer, maybe even a melanoma, and delaying treatment that could save your life.

There are a ton of "natural" remedies you will read about to remove a mole. I would recommend visiting with a dermatologist prior to attempting any natural methods since many of these can cause more problems than they are worth. Best of luck
