While most moles can’t be removed with at-home remedies, there’s no harm in trying! You may be able to lighten the appearance.

Garlic: First cover the skin around the mole with petroleum jelly. Then rub garlic on the mole. Cover it with an adhesive bandage and let it sit for at least 3 hours.

Warts are caused by a virus called HPV. At the doctor’s office, you can have them frozen off, but try these at-home remedies first.

Honey: Rub some honey on the warts before bedtime and cover when an adhesive bandage. The honey and bandage will help your wart soften and fall off.
