The DIY mole removal method Jessica chose involved applying a combination of apple cider vinegar and ground garlic to the moles daily for two weeks. According to the instructions she found online, the acidic nature of the vinegar and the antibacterial properties of the garlic were supposed to gradually dissolve the moles without leaving a scar.

For the first few days, Jessica diligently applied the concoction to her moles, hoping to see results soon. However, instead of the moles shrinking or disappearing as promised, they began to swell and become inflamed. Ignoring the warning signs, Jessica continued with the treatment, convinced that it was just a reaction to the ingredients.

By the end of the two-week period, Jessica's moles had become even larger and darker than before.

Concerned about the worsening condition of her moles, Jessica finally sought the advice of a dermatologist.

Upon examination, the dermatologist confirmed that the DIY mole removal method Jessica had used had caused a severe allergic reaction, resulting in the inflammation and discoloration of her moles.

Treatment and Recovery

After the removal of her moles, Jessica was left with small scars on her face where the moles had been.
