Moles can occur anywhere on a person’s body and can be genetic or caused by sun exposure. Moles on faces can be bothersome, compared to those that are hidden by clothing. While most mole-removal methods can be costly and leave scars, there are some things you can try at home to make the mole smaller or to lighten its color. However, if the mole persists and keeps growing, you should see a dermatologist as the mole could be a serious medical issue.
Grind coriander with a mortar and pestle. Apply the ground coriander to the mole on a daily basis for a few days.
