I got a number of small moles that i want to get rid of but buring or cutting them isnt a option cause to many, but i looked on the net and apparently there creams that get rid of them or something can someone help me and tell me more about these products or if they work?

For people facing the chronic development of new moles, retinoic acid (vitamin A acid, Retin A®, Tretinoin) is often prescribed. In addition to its uses in treating acne and for improving skin quality, retinoic acid has has anti-tumor effects and causes the regression of many types of non-uniform pigmentation and precancerous lesions
does this need to be prescribed by a dermatoligist?? cause i get quite a few moles he will give me this stuff? does it work?

Some moles can can be removed with the combination of alpha hydroxy acids and copper peptides. A mixture of a strong copper peptide cream and a strong alpha hydroxy acid cream is rubbed into the mole daily. After about one to three months, some moles flatten and diminish in size or are totally removed

these creams would be perfectly safe to just try and not very costly, where would u buy them??

also i go to dermatoligist in 3 months should i wait until then before trying something?
why didnt my dermatoligist give me options to get rid of some when i visited, i didnt ask for any but shouldnt they tell me about stuffs like this??
 
My research involves a retinoic acid analogue that's an FDA-approved chemotherapy agent. 🙂

I'd imagine the dermatologist would offend quite a few people if s/he offered mole-removal options to everyone who has moles. Just my two cents though.

safeway has a sale on dry ice ($.99/lb).. otherwise get a premed friend to hook you up with a small canister of liquid nitrogen.

on the topic of unwanted bumps, how do you get rid of plantar warts? the dr. scholls stuff doesn't work too well..
 
u reakon i try burn them off myself with dry ice, sounds bad as i have no idea how much to use, how to use itetc, might burn a hole in my arm
 
How is this remotely appropriate for the pre-allo forum?
