Thank you for submitting pictures with your inquiry.  It is best you do not to try and use a "home remedy" on your skin, facial skin at that.  Schedule a skin exam with a board certified dermatologist in your area.  There are several options at treating skin discolorations and mole removal, but you must be evaluated for the best treatment plan for your skin.  A board certified dermatologist can set you up on a great skin care regimen and go over different cosmetic options to treat your concerns. Best of luck.

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Moles can be removed with laser, radiowave or shave. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Many dark spots are just discolorations which can be removed with chemical peels or bleaching creams. Some spots are actual flat moles which need either electrofulguration or laser or liquid nitrogen treatments.
