Natural Remedies:
- Lemon Juice – The natural citric acid can help lighten dark spots over time. Apply fresh lemon juice with a cotton ball, leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse. Use sunscreen afterward, as lemon makes skin sun-sensitive.
- Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) – Contains natural acids that may fade age spots. Mix with equal parts water, dab on affected areas, and leave on for 20 minutes before rinsing.
- Aloe Vera – Has soothing and skin-brightening properties. Use fresh aloe gel daily on spots.
🟤 2. Moles
Moles are clusters of pigmented skin cells — most are benign, but always monitor for changes.
Natural Remedies:
- Garlic Paste – Garlic contains enzymes that may break down mole-forming cells. Crush fresh garlic, apply to the mole, and cover with a bandage overnight. Repeat daily for up to a week. Stop if skin becomes irritated.
- Iodine Tincture – A few drops applied daily may slowly break down mole tissue. This method is less harsh than garlic, but results take longer.
⚠️ Never attempt to cut or burn off a mole at home. If in doubt, have it checked professionally.
🏷️ 3. Skin Tags
Natural Remedies:
- Tea Tree Oil – Dab pure tea tree oil on the tag twice daily using a cotton swab. Its drying and antibacterial properties may help the tag fall off in a few weeks.
- Apple Cider Vinegar – Soak a cotton ball in ACV, tape it over the tag, and leave it for a few hours daily. It may darken and fall off over time.
- Banana Peel – Some say placing a small piece of peel over the tag (inside part against skin) and covering it overnight can help dry it out naturally.
🦠 4. Warts
Warts are caused by a virus (HPV) and often appear on hands, feet, or knees. They’re contagious, so treat carefully.
Natural Remedies:
- Duct Tape Method – Cover the wart with duct tape for 6 days, then soak and file it down gently. Repeat until it’s gone. Surprisingly effective!
- Apple Cider Vinegar – Its acidity helps destroy wart tissue. Soak a cotton ball, tape it over the wart overnight, and repeat daily. May sting a bit!
- Garlic Paste – Apply crushed garlic directly to the wart and cover. Its antiviral properties may help.
⛑️ For stubborn or painful warts, seek medical treatment. Some need cryotherapy (freezing) or prescription options.
