Eyelid Mole

I have a mole on my eyelid and i don't like it. Is there any way i can remove it safely without any scars? I'm only 17 so I doubt I can see any doctors without my parent being there. Also, does those "home remedies" actually work? Thanks in advance.

Yes, it could possibly be removed, and if done well, there could be little to no scar. It really depends on the size and location of course. Home remedies won't remove a mole or a freckle. Make an appointment to see an ophthalmologist and take your parents with you or else wait until you are older.
