This may not be the place to put this ,but anybody know or have experiance of any products that will remove non cancerous moles.I have two on my back that are less then 1/4 inch in size,but look simuliar to a pencil eraser on the end of a pencil.I have had them for about 20 years and have had a doctor look at them a couple times and they say not to worry about them.Short of surgery is there an easy way to have them removed.I have been tempted to use freeze technology used on warts or even that new dr.Scholl skin tag remover.Any success stories out there.

I have had some removed by my dermatologist, they just freeze the area and cut it off

I agree. Moles are an excellent addition to anyone's diet.

I've had skintags (probably what you've got) removed by a dermatologist and they use a surgical arc-welder of some sort. Problem is it cost like $100 to have 2 zapped. Worked well though, but I couldn't get any company health plan to pay for it so going to see if I can push it through a business tax return :D

Since then however, I've seen a dr scholls product emerge that you might want to check out. It costs about $30-40 and should be good for 8 or so use\applications. Let me know if you can find locally in stores it as I haven't kept an eye out but would like to pick it up to try out in the future.

here's a link http://well.ca/products/dr-scholls-skin-tag-remover_19186.html

the commercial is pretty cheesy if you catch it on tv. the daughter points to her moms mole and goes "mommmy, EW what is that?!?!" lol

edit: heh, I didnt read your whole thread. I see you're already aware of the product. Let us know if you try it out.

Let us know if you try it out.Yea i have seen it at londondrugs here in BC,but i read the warnings and it says do no use on a tag that is not at skin tone.Mine are a reddish brown colour but doctors have told me not to worry about them,so i never had them remved.I am tempted to try it though.
