If you are unfamiliar with mole removal creams then, I believe, your question should not be, "Should I feel safe using a mole removal cream?" but rather, "Can I safely use a mole removal cream?" In order to answer either question you need to first understand the two basic types of over-the-counter creams available at your local pharmacy.
The two basic types are chemical and herbal.
The majority of chemical creams, are specialized creams and can contain acids or other chemicals used to dry up and dissolve the mole.
When using a chemical-based mole removal cream, there are a few things you should take into consideration before using them.
Things to consider with chemical creams: 1.
Scaring: The use of chemical-based creams, because many contain acid, can leave scars after the mole is gone.
2.
Irritation: If you have sensitive skin these can irritate the skin, the degree of irritation will depend on how sensitive the skin is.
3.
Eyes: Since many of these creams contain acid, it is not advisable to use them when the mole is close to or around the area of your eyes.
If you get the cream in your eyes, it can cause severe problems and burning.
4.
Use as directed: When using creams that contain chemicals, it is important to closely adhere to the directions of use to avoid other problems.
Things to consider with herbal creams: 1.
Scarring: Scarring associated with tropical treatments, (herbal) is far less than with the specialized creams using chemicals.
2.
Irritation: If you have sensitive skin then the herbal treatment creams would be a better choice for you.
Herbal creams are natural-based and much less irritating to the skin.
3.
Eyes: Again, just as with chemical creams, if you get the cream in your eyes, even though natural based, it can cause problems with the eyes as well as burning.
If you do use tropical treatment creams on moles close to the eyes be very careful not to get the cream in your eyes.
4.
Use as directed: Anything you use to help correct or treat a medical condition, should be use according to the directions of use.
Misuse can cause problems and end up giving you more problems to deal with.
If you read the label of the products closely, and closely follow the direction of use then, yes you can and should feel safe using a mole removal cream.
Just remember to read the label, avoid specialized (chemical) creams if you have sensitive skin, and always use as directed.
If any product you are considering for use contains an ingredient that you are not sure of what it is or how safe it is, do a search on the internet for more information on the ingredient before using it.
