A variety of skin diseases often cause trouble for people. Papillomas, moles and warts have an unattractive appearance and can develop into malignant neoplasms. This is especially true for those who are constantly exposed to mechanical injuries at their location.
Modern medicine has found several solutions to this problem. Clinics perform safe removal of such pathologies using electrocoagulation or liquid nitrogen. These are absolutely safe procedures, before which the formation is carefully examined for the risk of possible complications. For those who are not ready for such radical measures, preparations based on medicinal herbs have been developed that can combat these cosmetic defects. One such remedy is Stefalin ointment .
What is Stefalin ointment
Stefalin is a medicinal product that consists of 100% natural ingredients and does not contain chemical additives or excipients that increase the volume of the ointment. The ointment has a pungent odor and dark green color, with a cream-like consistency. Stefalin is used to remove any moles, papillomas and warts, including precancerous ones.
The ointment acts locally, without affecting the human body and internal organs, and is hypoallergenic. Stefalin gradually penetrates under the skin to the very roots of a mole or wart, destroying them and “pulling” them to the surface. Therefore, the mole may increase in size at the beginning of treatment, then it dries out and falls off completely or in layers. If a mole begins to degenerate into a malignant formation, then it swells and fluid flows out of it at the beginning of treatment, then a crust forms on the mole, which over time falls off in layers or completely.
Stefalin is not a medical drug, therefore it does not have quality certificates or production licenses. According to the law, the ointment belongs to traditional medicine and is not distributed through pharmacies.
Sunscreens to prevent
By the first 10 years of life, nevi already appear on the child’s body. They are often safe and do not cause any discomfort. The pigment melanin provokes the appearance of moles, coloring them in a spectrum from light yellow to dark brown. Sunscreen is the best way to prevent the appearance of new nevi, age spots, freckles and burns. Special filters help protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation without provoking the active work of melanin. When properly selected for your skin type, a ton of skin color, structure and uniformity have the most positive effect. It should be applied 2 hours before going outside, repeating the procedure if necessary.
Virtually every cosmetic brand offers products with SPF protection in their product line. Well-known cream manufacturers are NIVEA, Estel, Vichy, Inglot and others. The popularity of these brands depends on the quality of the product, the price of the product, and the versatility of the approach to different skin types. Available with varying degrees of protection. Trial packs of mole creams (samples) are sold so you can choose the best option for yourself without buying a large quantity blindly.
Composition of the ointment
The ointment contains a collection of herbal inflorescences and roots collected on the slopes of the Carpathians; some components are also supplied from other countries. Herbs are collected at different periods of their growth and flowering. So the ointment includes the following components:
- Common aspen.
- Field Yakut.
- Ivy.
- Buttercup anemone.
- Burdock.
- Celandine.
- Alpine sundew.
- Spring clear.
Part of the collected herbs is used to make a non-alcoholic infusion, which is the basis of Stefalin ointment. The base provides high penetrating ability of the ointment, penetration of medicinal substances directly into the root of the wart, mole, papillomas. The remainder of the collected herbs is dried and ground into powder, which is then mixed with the infusion.
Removal methods
Many people are not satisfied with the appearance of education. It happens that it interferes with shaving, combing hair, and clings to clothes. This can lead to inflammation. This problem is easily solved - now there are several methods for removing moles:
- surgical - shaving and suturing - for moles that penetrate deeply into the skin;
- cryotherapy - freezing;
- electrocoagulation - burning with electric current;
- photodynamic therapy - if cancer is suspected, the doctor chemically increases the photosensitivity of cells, damages blood vessels so that the tumor does not grow;
- laser correction - burning layers of skin with a laser;
- a product for removing skin lesions on a plant or chemical basis.
Before getting rid of a nevus, you need to consult a dermatologist and oncologist.
It is imperative to remove large asymmetrical formations of uneven color, since they can degenerate into melanoma, a malignant tumor. Bleeding or growing growths are especially dangerous. Before removal, it is necessary to send their contents for histological examination to ensure that the growths have not yet degenerated.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of using ointment are:
- Painless procedure.
- No scars or scars after use.
- Cost-effective (the ointment is cheaper than many medical products, as well as laser removal procedures).
- No harsh effects on the skin.
- Easy to use. The ointment can be used at home, at any convenient time, which will eliminate the need to visit expensive clinics and medical centers.
- Hypoallergenic ointment.
- Guarantee of 100% money back to anyone who proves the ineffectiveness of Stefalin ointment.
- Natural composition.
- Free consulting support. Removal of moles, warts and other skin formations is carried out with online support. Users can send the ointment manufacturer a photo before removal for consultation, during or after removal if questions arise.
However, there are certain disadvantages that also need to be kept in mind before ordering and using the ointment:
- Selling ointments according to the principles of network marketing and conducting an aggressive advertising campaign, which are signs of low-quality products.
- Lack of registration, quality certificates, production licenses, which are a guarantee of high quality and safety of medicines.
- Stefalin ointment has not undergone clinical trials or laboratory studies that would confirm its effectiveness and the absence of a threat to the human body.
- The general danger of self-removal of moles, which are often melanoma-dangerous formations (malignant moles). The danger is that before removing moles, a preliminary examination and diagnosis were not carried out, based on the results of which a qualified specialist could recommend a more detailed examination of particularly suspicious formations on the skin. Also, during the use of Stefalin ointment, there is no reliable and proper control over the removal process, so there is a risk of incomplete elimination of a mole, wart or other formations. After the procedure, the mole may grow back, much larger than initially, and the risk of malignant degeneration in this case increases significantly.
Indications for mole removal
Before starting treatment, you must visit a doctor and undergo a diagnostic examination. A dermatologist will examine you and determine the best way to remove the nevus. It is not recommended to perform surgery if a cancerous tumor is suspected, during an exacerbation of chronic diseases, if there is a history of cardiovascular diseases, or if herpes rashes appear.
Moles are removed in the following cases:
- frequent injury, rubbing of the nevus with clothing items (moles on the soles, neck, palms, waist, scalp);
- pedunculated moles are excised, as they can become twisted and easily damaged;
- when changing shape, size;
- if the nevus appeared in adulthood in people over 50 years of age;
- location of a large mole on the face.
If you suspect the development of melanoma, additional consultation with an oncologist is required. The main signs of a cancerous tumor are: ulceration of the surface, discharge of ichor, pain on palpation, rapid growth of the tumor, change in shape and blurred boundaries with the surrounding skin.
Use of Stefalin ointment
The ointment is used according to pre-written instructions with mandatory adherence to the methodology and timing of use.
A small amount of Stefalin ointment is applied to the wart or mole. It is advisable to apply the ointment once a day in the evening, after swimming or other hygiene procedures. If the mole is large, then in the first stages it can be smeared 2 times a day - morning and evening. After applying the ointment, the mole or wart should not be soaked for at least 4 hours.
If Stefalin ointment gets on healthy skin during application, you should immediately wipe it off or wash it off. A short-term contact will not cause harm, but if healthy skin is regularly touched while applying the ointment, then there is a risk of burns on the skin.
Stefalin ointment should be applied for 7 days in a row. After the first 3 days, you need to take a break if the skin is inflamed or painful. After 7 days of treatment, a break of 2-3 days is required, during which a crust should form and fall off at the site of the mole or wart. If the mole remains, then treatment should be continued for another 7 days and so on until the mole or wart is completely destroyed.
The period of removal of moles and warts depends on their size, the density of the skin and the depth of the roots. The average duration of the removal process is from 2 weeks to several months.
The process of eliminating moles, warts and other skin formations is considered complete if a pink depression remains in their place and there are no dark bumps or spots. Over time, the indentation should heal and the skin color should even out.
Cryodestruction
How to get rid of moles on the body? You can painlessly and quickly get rid of nevi using cryodestruction. This is a method of excision of skin tumors using liquid nitrogen, which cools pathological tissues to very low temperatures (-196°) and causes them to die.
The tip of the device is directed to the removal site and the mole is cooled until a white spot appears within 2-3 minutes. Freezing of intracellular and intercellular fluid occurs, vital processes in the treated tissues cease, destruction and death of the dermis is observed.
The procedure is painless, the patient experiences a slight tingling, burning sensation, and mild pain may occur. After freezing, local swelling forms and lasts up to 3 hours. Then bubbles appear on the surface of the nevus, necrosis develops after another day, and the tissues are rejected on their own within 2–6 weeks. Complete tissue regeneration lasts about 6 months.
Getting rid of moles using cryodestruction has some disadvantages. This method is not suitable if the nevus is localized in a hard-to-reach place. The rehabilitation period is long, taking at least 21 days.
Frequently asked questions and answers
At what age can the ointment be used?
Stefalin ointment has no age restrictions. However, it is not recommended to apply the ointment to small children, because the skin may itch after application, the child may wash off the ointment ahead of time, and Stefalin may get into the child’s mouth or eyes.
How to apply ointment to a hanging mole?
Before application, the skin around the mole should be covered with a paper plaster, as close as possible to the foot of the mole. After the ointment dries, the patch is removed. After the ointment has dried, the mole can also be covered with a band-aid, which will ensure rapid penetration of the ointment.
Where and how to store the ointment?
The ointment should be stored in a cool, dark place, tightly closing the bottle. If the bottle is left open, the ointment will dry out quickly. After 2 years of storage, Stefalin may thicken; in this case, you should contact the ointment manufacturers, who should send you a diluent tincture. This tincture should be added to the ointment and stirred, Stefalin will acquire the necessary consistency and can again be used for treatment.
How many moles is enough for a 2 ml bottle?

What skin formations can be removed with Stefalin?
The ointment is suitable for removing any moles (flat, hanging, convex, red), as well as papillomas and warts.
Can Stefalin provoke the degeneration of a mole into a malignant one?

Other means
How to treat removed moles? Today, pharmacies offer a large selection of products that promote the healing of skin damage. These include:
Before using any of the above remedies, you should definitely consult your doctor and read the instructions included with the drug.
Plaster or bandage?
The main attributes when treating wound areas are plasters and bandages. However, instead of the usual adhesive plasters and bandages, modern medicine suggests using special devices that protect the wound and promote its speedy healing.
For poorly healing wounds, doctors recommend using a special “Hydrocol Syn” dressing. The cut is impregnated with a gel that absorbs exudate and stimulates the healing process. In addition, such a dressing does not allow water and bacteria to pass through. If there is exudation, it should be changed daily. If there is no discharge, you can wear Hydrocol Syn for several days.
Mepiform silicone patch can be used to resolve colloidal hypertrophic scars. It is produced in small cuts and bandages. If necessary, you can easily cut out an element of the size and shape you need. The treatment period with this remedy is quite long and takes up to 8 months.
Potassium permanganate solution
How to use it correctly? After removing a mole, many patients are interested in how to dilute potassium permanganate for treating wounds. An antibacterial solution is used to prevent the development of bacterial infections that can cause suppuration.
The most popular products intended for skin disinfection include potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate). It looks like a crystalline powder of a dark purple color with a metallic sheen. Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizing agent. Even in a diluted state, it has strong properties. A 0.1-0.5% permanganate solution is best suited for treating wounds. To prepare it, you need to count out 6-8 crystals of powder. The solution is prepared in a glass container using warm water. If you cannot determine the desired proportion, you can dilute it “by eye.” After thorough mixing, the solution should have a rich color, reminiscent of red wine.
Now that you know how to dilute potassium permanganate to treat wounds, a completely logical question arises - how to apply it to damaged areas? To do this, dip a cotton swab into the solution and gently touch the surface of the former mole. It is also recommended to treat nearby areas. This procedure should be carried out daily before applying creams and ointments.
