While I appreciate your resourcefulness, I don't recommend trying to remove a mole on your own. As you've noted, the skin seems to be getting irritated. And the mole is still there. It's also an unsafe habit as some moles may be cancerous. Save yourself some time and aggravation and ensure your safety by having the mole evaluated by a dermatologist. There are many methods we use to quickly and permanently remove moles so that they do not recur, including laser treatments (Active FX/Deep FX, Sciton, eMatrix, etc.) and/or excision. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who has expertise in mole removal.

I don't recommend trying to remove moles yourself, due to the risk of burns and scarring. I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care. Moles can be removed with lasers, radiowave or shave. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
