General description of the disease
Nevus – congenital or acquired neoplasms of the skin, which are referred to as benign. They appear mainly in childhood and adolescence, babies have practically no nevi (their presence is an exceptional case). With age, the number of nevi on the body may increase or, conversely, decrease. Otherwise, a nevus is a mole, a birthmark.

Tip # 2
Garlic juice and lemon juice will help. Alternate from time to time: garlic-lemon juices for 7 days.
Tip # 3
Juice from unripe figs works well. They need to lubricate the mole once a day.
Tip # 4
Prepare an ointment from crushed chalk and hemp oil in a ratio of 1 to 4. Apply it to a nevus 2-3 times a day. Duration – a week.
Tip # 5
Make compresses from the following infusion: take 400 milliliters of apple cider vinegar, place 2 medium cloves of garlic there, leave for 14 days. After the expiration date – dip a simple cloth in liquid and apply to the mole at night.
Tip # 6
Prepare the gruel of your choice:

Spread the nevus twice a day, leave the gruel for 2-4 minutes, then rinse with plenty of warm water. This is done so that an allergic reaction does not start (if left for a longer time).
