I have one on my upper lip that has recently developed, it's very unsightly and I'm becoming quite self conscious because of it. I've been referred to hospital for an assessment to have it removed but it's 8 weeks away, and then there's the wait for the op on top of that. I understand the NHS waiting times, I expected it.
BUPA want £1250 all in, which is cheaper than I thought, however I really can't afford it.
Does anyone know of any natural remedies that I can try?

Firstly I wouldn't pay private as there's a 50% chance it will grow back within a year.Can your GP remove it for you by cautherising it? Our GP referred my little girl to the hospital to have hers removed but the waiting list was 18 weeks long.Our GP does mole removal etc at the surgery and told me he would remove it for her rather than let her wait so long.It was causing her massive problems,she was being sent home from school almost daily as it kept pouring with blood.Just her school shirt touching it would set it off.Bloody awful things,the bleeding was heavy it was frightening.GP removed it and sent it off for a biopsy.Its never come back either.
