Does anyone know if ACV will remove flat moles? I have been using it for a couple of days but no change yet. I am saturating a small piece of gauze then put it on a round bandaid. Any input?

I have done the apple cider vinegaer on a mole i have had for years I am on the third day of it I apply this twice a day with a cotton ball and bandade, try to keep the vinegaar directly on the mole, i was skeptal about this, but but this morning it is like a scab over my mole and it is almost flat with the skin i know in a day or so it will be gone, i am so greatful, to have a Dr. remove this would cost houndreds of dollars, and this has cost not even dollars, this mole has bothered me it was on the side of my face and i was embarrased about it, thank you so much for the advice, now i will start on two more moles today, you must use regular apple cider vinegar, not white distilled.

Thanks Pete! I've been continuing, but nothing seems to be happening. Just stubborn mole staying there. It's been almost a month now and nothing seems to be changing. How long did it take you?

Hey everyone, I recently came across this site and I am on my 4th day with the ACV method. I have had a reddish mole about the size of a small pea on my you know what since birth. I am amazed to say that by using a wood nail file to remove the outsite shell then using a Q-tip dipped in ACV and pressing it on the mole, that the mole is now 75% gone!!! After the first day a little scab formed. I pulled the scap off to reveal a now white fleshy mole instead of brown and red. It was lubricated with what looked like some natural skin oil trying to repair the skin.So I applied the ACV again, dabbing on it on throught out the morning.

IMPORTANT: THE ACV WILL STING PRETTY BAD ON THE FRESH WHITE PART, THIS IS GOOD HOWEVER BECAUSE THE PAIN IS THE ACID BREAKING DOWN THE MOLE SO YOU KNOW ITS WORKING.

So it scabs up again, but when I pull it off this time a big chunk comes out of the middle yuck! But to my amazement the mole has been greatly reduced. It's working.

Day 4 I would say it's down to 75%, I am working on the outsite rim now with my file hoping to burn the rest away. This is the Real Deal guys try it. I am still a bit skeptical and I will be until it is completely gone. But so far so good, and you can do it at your own pace. The more you apply acv the quicker it goes.

I will update if I can get this ugly thing gone for good.

Hi James,

ACV really works on moles. I have removed a bunch of them using this method.

I did have one that refused to go away. And when it did, it came back. I just keep with the treatment so long the surrounding skin was not too sensitive (you have to be gentle and patient).

On the aforementioned "difficult" one, I also made sure I also cleaned it with 3% H2O2 after the mole and spongee and soaked up in ACV repeatedly. I think that may have helped. I also suggest you take ACV internally.

Good luck!

Thanks for your reply Sandra! Now, I continued with the ACV for about a week and last night two of them fell off in the shower. I was really excited. However, awoke this morning and looked down and was somewhat displeased. Though there is no longer a brown mole there, there is pink skin that still has the raised feel and texture of a mole and is just as noticeable as the mole that was there before.

I figured that I would be getting a pink scar that would be somewhat indented and would apply something to it to reduce the scar appearance. Instead I've got something that feels and looks like a mole, only pink now instead of brown. Is this normal? I'm somewhat disheartened and don't know what to do?

ANY suggestions/responses, would be more than appreciated.

Response to James about the stabbing/piercing of moles:

I had a mole at the very lower of my neck for 4 years!, and I read about ACV, i tried to put a little of damp cotton with AVC every time on the area with a thick tape, I even wore high neck shirts while the cotton was there, I changed cotton daily with ACV, I slept with it on. At the 4 day I noticed that my mole shrunk, it was a burning sensation on it, then I started to put castor oil on and the scab went out. Leaving only a pink mark that with the time disapeared, it was wonderfull!! you do not have to stabbed. Since then I tried ACV for my dog irritated skin, for warts perfect. I hope someone can benefit for this.

I am so happy I stumbled across this site and I'm excited to try some of the remedies for removing moles! The only question I have is regarding the stabbing/piercing of moles. Is this absolutely necessary and how do you know if you've pierced the mole? Does it start to bleed? I don't want to avoid this step if it's necessary, but don't want to go too far and stab my mole and cause it to bleed profusely. Any help would be more than appreciated!!!

Apple Cider Vinegar cured my rash. I had developed a rash which I found out was Tinea Veriscolor. I took Organic Appl Cider Vinegar 3 times a day for about 4 - 5 days. The rash just dried up. Apparently the rash was a fungal rash and ACV kills fungus. I also used ACV on a huge mole on my husband's nose. After 7 uses it just came off in layers. Fantastic stuff ACV.

The scaring you are experiencing could be magnified by the hydrogen peroxide. I am taking Microbiology and my professor told us that you should never use hydrogen peroxide on tissues because it causes scarring....just a little bit of advice for future mole removal.

WORKED TEMPORARILY

Hey Everyone. After trying the ACV treatment for around 9 days, a mole i had been trying to remove finally shrunk and scabbed up, turning blackish with signs of red around the edges. a good sign according to this sight.i told myself that i was not going to pick the scab and i would let it fall off naturally.but when i was in bed sleeping i must have pulled it off. it revealed all was good and the mole was gone. i was so happy! just 5 hours after this happened however, the mole is back.i estimate it will be fully grown in around a week. im going on holiday soon and i really want to be able to feel confident without a shirt on. i have many moles that i want to treat on my back asap. the mole that is growing back is just below my chest. please, anybody, give me suggestions as to what i should do and if anybody has had this happened to them. thanks in advance.

ps should i cut the mole open with a needle and continue treatment?

I just wanted to update on treating my moles with ACV. I've gotten rid of at least 7 moles now with this method (2 of which were on my face). None have grown back and it's been a year and a half! All that's left are some light pink, slightly raised scars that are hardly noticeable (much better than a big brown mole anyway). I've gotten a few emails regarding the method I used to get rid of my moles and I thought I should post it.

First of all, I can't stress enough that I would use the small, round band-aids. They help to keep the acv contained without letting it drip and "burn" healthy skin.

I get those round (or square) cotton pads from the q-tip aisle and I tear off a small piece of that. The size should be able to fit on the small white square in the middle of the circle band-aid.

Let the cotton piece soak up acv and fold if necessary to fit it within the square on the band-aid (make sure the cotton piece is saturated but not actually dripping). The purpose of the extra cotton is to get more acv to the mole, making the process much quicker than just putting acv directly on the band-aid.

Put the band-aid on the mole. Some acv is sure to escape on your skin so it'll feel wet but I wouldn't worry about it. Lay a regular size band-aid over top if you are having difficulty getting the round one to stay in place. I usually it in place overnight and let it air dry during the day (especially if it is in a noticeable place like on your face. I did this method on one I had right between my eyes if you can imagine).

If the mole is somewhere that it's not going to be visible (or if you don't care) you can change the band-aid and wear the new one all day. This just speeds up the process. It usually takes about 3 days to a week for it to disappear.

I only used Vaseline if it was necessary. For most of the moles, it wasn't. However, if the surrounding area starts looking really red or dry, I'd smother it pretty good with Vaseline (or the whatever you use: Neosporin, aloe, certain essential oils) just to keep it moisturized. That is the reason I stress using the round band-aids though. They really keep the surrounding skin from getting bad. I didn't really have any problems after I switched to them.

Just so you know though, when the moles start to die they do get a reddish ring around them sometimes. That seems to be normal. Also, if the moles start to swell within the first or second application, that means it's working. The moles should flatten and harden soon after (they might turn dark brown or white like dead skin). I wouldn't pick at them since that'll probably irritate the healthy skin growing underneath the dead mole. You can probably stop applying the acv once the mole hardens and turns into a scab although you should use your own judgment. Every body is different!

Any problems or questions, don't hesitate to email me.

well i've answered my own question about the ACV previously i had asked about wheather i should leave the mole alone or continue with the acv.. i decided to let the root of the mole heal with my skin and then i applied acv all over again with a cotton ball at night for about 4 nights. I quickly found that the remainder of the mole began to diminish. I now have a scar but am using vitamin E to fade the scar a bit. Thank you so much Earth clinic.. i am now a firm believer of this site and recommend it to anyone and everyone for everything.

Apple Cider Vinegar mole removal:

Day 1 - applied ACV to plaster and put it on mole at night.
Day 2 - woke up in morning slightly smaller

Day 3 - mole slightly blistered and I got worried. Pierced mole several times with a clean needle.
Day 4 - scab beginning to form
Day 5 - scab formed
Day 6 - Went to Sauna and sat there for about 30 mins
After this it was very tender and when I went to the shower it just fell off. Looks great just can't wait for scabbed area to heal.
Wish me luck!

The ACV mole removal treatment worked great. I used a small cotton ball with medical tape before I went to bed each night and removed it each morning. After 4 days I was removing the medical tape and the mole just fell off. Thanks much for the info here.

I had a black mole on the top of my left breast for quite some time and I really didn't like it. I came across this site and decided to give the Apple Cider Vinegar remedy a try. Like some other users suggested, I used a nail file to file down the mole some. I soaked a small piece of cotton in the ACV then put it over the mole which I held in place with a band-aid. I would leave it on overnight. At first the mole got flatter. After a few days it seemed like the mole was kind of wiggly but it was still flattened into my skin. The area around the mole was a bit pinkish in color and I wondered if the ACV was burning the surrounding skin so instead of bandaging the ACV soaked piece of cotton, I began using a q-tip to dab the acv on. After about a week some clear fluid began seeping out from around the mole. I was beginning to regret even trying it. I read one other user who had a similar experience. I begin cleaning it out with hydrogen peroxide to clean out any germs. I also began applying Neosporin ointment to it. On about the 7th day the top black part of the mole came off but it left a very pink and flesh colored open sore. It wasn't huge but I still did not like it. I was glad the mole was gone but then I was left to treat an open sore which I believe was caused by using the ACV too long. I cleaned the wound with hydrogen peroxide a few times a day and alternated between applying Neosporin ointment and the oil from a vitamin E capsule. After another week the wound healed but now I have a small round scar where the mole was and a small area surrounding the scar is a little browner than my normal complexion. So while the ACV did work on my mole, unfortunately it left me with a scar in an area where I would rather have just left the mole. I'm currently using Scar Zone cream on the scar in hopes that it will fade. It only took a week to remove the mole, another week for the wound to heal, and now it's been over a month since I've been treating the scar. I would recommend that you only tape the small piece of cotton ball soaked in ACV to your mole for the first couple of days. After that just dab the mole with a q-tip that has been dipped in ACV. Once the mole gets flat, if you continue taping the ACV cotton ball on it, it may leave a crater like sore in your skin. Overall ACV did remove the mole so I guess it did what it was supposed to do.

Just wondering, I just started to try this method out myself and I want to know if this also works on flat moles. Because a lot of people talk about it getting rid of their moles, but I don't know if this works on flat moles. Please respond.

I'm not even sure where to start. Today is my 6th day taking ACV (_____s organic). I'm taking 2 tsp along with 1 tsp pure natural honey mixed in apx 2 ounces of water, 3x a day ( before each meal.) Apx 2 years ago I developed a white mole directly under my eye, hated it and always planned on finding out about getting it removed. On day 4 of taking the ACV, I had gotten out of the pool and was rubbing my eye and noticed I couldn't feel the mole. I went to the mirror to look and could barely see it. Today is day 6 and it's almost gone! I have another dark mole on my arm that is also changing!

Another HUGE change this week are my bowel movements. I am hypothyroid, and normally when I'm eating healthy items such as alot of fruits and veggies, I tend to have a hard time producing a movement, but this week I have been producing at least once, sometimes twice a day, and they are very large healthy movements. I have also lost 4+ lbs which of course I also attribute to eatting better and drinking alot of water. I tend to go on these health kicks alot, for long periods of time, but this is my first time trying the ACV and I have been telling everyone about my dissapearing mole and my movements for 2 days now. I cant wait to wake up each day and see what else is going to change! Loving it, and I will keep yous updated! Thanks, Mom in Phila

After a recent derm. appt.; where they offered to remove a two moles for a "mere" $150, I came home and found this website. Being the forever skeptic, I thought it sounded too good to be true; went ahead and gave it a try anyhow. And...it worked. Seriously, to my fellow disbelievers...it really works. I tried one in a inconspicuous place first by soaking a small piece of cotton in acv then covering with medical tape. After a couple of days it looked blistery and parts of it were dark, then it gradually hardened, scabbed and fell off, leaving a slightly pink circle. I've since taken another one off my chest in similar fashion and am proceeding to a couple on my neck. Give it a try. We could all save some cash right now.

Great results from ACV mole removal remedy!! I had a dark brown mole on my cheek near my jawbone since birth. It used to be flat on my skin, and over the past few years had grown into a pea-sized proportion. I had an appointment with a dermatologist to have it removed when I came across this website. I began the apple cider vinegar thing on a Sunday night, and by the following Sunday afternoon the mole was gone!! Here's what I did:

I basically just followed the advice given by others on this site. I heated a needle over a flame, GENTLY stabbed the mole a couple times to 'tear' the skin, and liberally rubbed the acv on with a q-tip. I did this three or four times each day, but I never slept with it on my face for reasons noted below. The mole first became hard and dry, then cracked, then very itchy and tingley, then came right off as I was washing my face with regular cleanser as I normally do.

Just a note of warning to anyone who may want to try this: I read the accounts of others who said they rubbed vaseline on the skin surrounding the mole to prevent the acv from buring the skin, and I did not take that seriously enough!!! After the first time I applied the acv, I ended up with lots of tiny burns all over my cheek -it was kind of painful and REALLY ugly! It also cleared up with lots of treatment (I used a combo of glycerin, vitamin E oil, and aloe) in about a week, but it is for this reason I urge you NOT to apply with a cotton ball. That is what I did the first time, and also failed to apply enough vaseline. If even a little of the acv gets on the skin, it will burn, so use a q-tip!

Needless to say, I canceled my appointment with the dermo - my face is now mole-free and looks so much better!

Tried ACV on a mole, forearm area, that had been disturbed by some tattooing over it. It increased in size shortly afterwards leaving me bummed out and concerned as well. Used ACV on it for about the whole first day and a little on the second. Mole shrunk rather quickly leaving a black flat area. Applied lotion with aloe for a few days later and the scab came off exposing a small indentation where the underside of the mole had been. Luckily my tattoo was red so the discoloration somewhat matches it. Thanks for my newfound piece of mind.

I too had similar results! I am just thrilled. I looked at this ugly mole on my face (right in the fold around my nose and mouth) for 44 years and in one week, it was GONE! It left a tiny "mole hole" which is healing nicely. My son said "the dermatologist would have charged you $500. to do that!" Of course everyone in my house was skeptical when I first started applying ACV. It really looked like it wasn't going to work. They thought I was crazy for keeping up with it. But then POOF! I couldn't be happier!

Hi Emily, I'm glad to hear that the remedy is working for you, but can you go into detail as to the steps involved? I just started mine today. I ate the fresh garlic and used the acv on my veggies as a dressing. Thanks.

After putting up with a very ugly mole on my cheek for 40 years of my life, I gave the apple cider vinegar thing a go I had a week booked of work so on the Friday night i heated up a sewing needle over a flame to make sure it was clean, i cleaned my ugly thing then stabbed it gently like the other people have suggested, then soaked at qtip in acv put it onto my ugly thing and held it it place with a plaster.taking off the plaster in the morning , i did this for two nights and somtimes during the day i just dabbed on a little.I also drank a table spoon of it three times a day, it tastes terrible so have a drink near by, but i thought why not treat my self from inside out as well,i did this for a week. on the 3rd day my mole had a blister over it then on the forth it started to go realy scabby and looked terrible i started to wish i had,nt done it by the fifth day it started to get itchy.I was very worried by this time because i was due back to work on the monday and i it looked horrible.I need not have worried because on the 6th day when i was bathing it, the whole scab came of leaving a small pink hole,I was so happy i cried, I have been using e45 cream since then and its almost clear on my cheek, people keep saying there is somthing different about you then they realise what is missing,
I hope this helps people who like me were so sick of well meaning people saying leave your moles alone there part of you,
they always dont have any.

Please just be careful to only put it on the mole not on your skin. and let the mole really dry out and i would advise you to go into hiding with lots of chocolate and a good book while you are doing it, Good look to you all and thank you so much for Apple cider vinegar, this wonderful site and the internet, please excuse me now as i get on with my life confident with a clear face oh and lovely long nails and shiney hair thats with drinking the acv, i am now taking it in tablet form as it tastes better. xxxx
