<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Word of Mouth
A quick Google search will unearth a number of natural remedy-oriented websites that claim honey is an effective, albeit slow, means of mole removal. These websites direct the reader to apply honey to the affected area regularly over the period of a few weeks, and some recommend mixing honey with flaxseed oil or other type of oil.
On the Other: Medical Basis
There is no scientific study that assesses the effectiveness of honey for mole removal. Most medical experts recommend talking to your doctor about your concerns. Your doctor can then suggest to you either a topical solution for the mole or surgery.
Bottom Line
Applying honey to the skin has no known ill effects, unless you are allergic to honey, so it will not harm you to try honey as a solution. However, there is no proof that this is an effective strategy for mole removal. If you truly wish to eliminate a mole, the best option would be to discuss with your doctor the best treatment to help you achieve your goal.
