🩺 Final Note:
While these natural methods are commonly shared and used for minor, harmless moles, it’s important to note that medical removal is the safest and most effective method for permanent results — especially for raised or suspicious-looking moles. Take good care of your skin, and when it comes to natural remedies, prioritize safety over speed!
