BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

I started using ACV to rid my face of a mole 3 days ago. I did use Vaseline around the area but I was very aggressive with the treatment since I'm going out of town next week. I kept a cotton ball soaked in ACV for pretty much a night and most of the next day. I really wanted this gone within 10 days, or at least gone enough that make up could cover. I have some pretty bad burns around where the mole was. The 'mole' is now very, very small and dark black so I think it worked on that, but my poor face around it :( I put aloe on it last night and I do believe it's helped. Is there anything else I can do to possibly speed up the healing of the burn? I think I'm more concerned about that getting better by next week than what's left of my mole. I do have sensitive skin I suppose...darn fair skin that comes with the red hair!

I need help A.S.A.P. So this is my second day using avc and my mole is super black and the skin around it is really red. The mole flattened out and became black but hasn't scabbed over yet. Should I be patient for the scabbing over? because I haven't seen any yet! And I'm afraid to use more because of the burning around my mole! PLEASE HELP! I'm afraid I ruined my face :''''(

I would not put vaseline on it as vaseline is made from petrolatum (petroleum jelly). Maybe put on some olive oil, coconut oil, vitamin e oil.

Vanessa,

I am thrilled to hear about someone else using the ACV on a larger mole. Mine is about the size of a nickle, raised, and on by face by the hairline. I've had it forever and when I went to a dermatologist for removal, he said it was not cancerous, that he had to check all my skin since I have generations of skin cancer in the family, and then he said he wouldn't remove it. I needed to make a second appointment and pay cash since insurance would not cover the removal. Needless to say, I didn't go back. So, tonight I am trying the ACV. Was going to try the iodine until I read all the positive ACV results. Will let you know how it goes if I can find my way back to this site. :)

WARNING!

Well having read these apple cider vinegar for moles posts, I decided to take some moles off my back and face. The one on my back came off with no scar and completely removed the mole. The one on my face has left me with a large red scar the same size as the mole, it is ever so slightly raised and I have tried, coconut oil, silicone gel, and a few others to try and get rid of it, could anyone give me any advice on getting rid of it. I think we should be wary telling people the ACV way because it can scar, as I am living proof and I am a guy who is now having to wear makeup to save myself any discomfort :(

Scars are always red at first, then fade to pale. if you can't wait for the scar to heal, there are otc cream medications that work exceptionallly well.

Check out the pharmacy. They now make a gel-like dressing that is supposed to minimize scars. I think it has collegen or something in it and is supposed to be good for new scars.

Although this is difficult on your face, try to minimize sun exposure. Getting a sunburn on a scar or on the healing area can cause it to keloid, which is to raise and become hard. This happened to me about a year after I had some surgery where they removed skin from my arm. Thought it was all healed, sat out in the sun and got a tan, but the doner site burned and turned keloid on me.

You can also massage it with an oil to slowly, over time, break down the scaring, to make it flatter. About 50 years ago they recommended cocoa butter, but probably any oil will work.

The redness will be there for a while, but will eventually fade.

Hi Chris, has the scar disappeared? I used ACV on a mole on my face and have a horrible scar that's causing me more anxiety than the original mole. If so, what did you use?

I'm using aloe vera gel as the scar is a bit sore - looks like an open wound, and needs to heal over. I'm thinking of using turmeric powder mixed with yoghurt after it has healed. I have olive skin, and would appreciate any advice to make this scar go away.

Hi there, I'm treating my moles with Apple Cider Vinegar for 8 days now, and it won't work! I'm about to go crazy, tried 4 different acvs but my mole is simply stuck there. Not even a redness on my skin. I'm using 100% natural with 5% acidity avc. Am I doing something wrong?

Apple Cider Vinegar for mole removal: So far it has been about 2 weeks and the mole has not returned and the Apple Cider Vinegar actually worked on a mole that I had right below my nose that was slightly raised. It took about 8 days to remove the whole thing due to the fact that after day 4 the mole came off but there was still a piece of it left so I continued treatment. To avoid burning of the skin I put pieces of bandaid all around the mole than roughed up the mole with a plastic toothpick and than slept with a cotton ball soaked in Apple Cider Vinegar overnight. So far after 2 weeks, the skin's just redder where the mole was which really cannot be avoided.

Hi everyone. I need some help, please! I just started the vinegar. Treatment today.

Here is my question. My mole, on my back had a pimple beneath it and I popped it. The pimple never went away but reduced a tiny bit. The mole hurts a lil and has been this way for months maybe a year. I have lots of moles. I have a feeling this might get cancerous. My question is can the vinegar treat the cancer at all?

It works just keep putting a dab on it everyday till it turns black and then it will turn into a scab then after that its gone. But first you have to get the tip of the mole irritated and about to bleed and you can do it by rubbing with a pin or even your finger nail or what ever, but when you put the ACV on it should sting, if it does not sting then you didn't ruff up the mole to good, it has to sting to work and that tells you the ACV got inside of it.

I've always had moles, but they were smallish and "normal, " looked like big freckles. With age, and a later in life pregnancy, and lack of time in the sun (as compared to my younger days), a mole on my back had turned massive. The docs checked it out and declared it, "not likely cancerous, " and wanted to cut it off me. Horror stories concerning said doctor remedies abound and kept me from pursuing it.

About six months ago my huge back mole started itching and became a constant companion up against my bra. I also had a small, flat, dark mole on my shin that had begun to change (slightly) and grow. After researching home/natural remedies, I was not surprised to learn about ACV as I used it to cure 20 years of worsening allergies (4 years free! ).

I did not "scratch" the mole on my back, it was difficult enough just to get a bandaid on it due to its position, and the fact I'm not a contortionist by trade... lol! Enlisting the help of my 7 year old daughter, I was able to soak a folded piece of cotton (to size of mole) in ACV and apply a waterproof bandaid for 6-12 hours a day for 5 days.

By the 5th day, the mole on my back was virtually gone, just a slight bump (from much bigger than a pencil eraser sticking out! ) and redness. The bandaids (or removing them) irritated my skin but the ACV did not burn it.

The mole on my leg behaved strangely. First it darkened and spread, then it lightened, then I screwed up and royally burnt the skin around it, then it started to scab and now a couple weeks later it is still healing and scabbed. Due to the burn I stopped the ACV (also tried melealeuca oil for the burn, burned it worse! ) and healed up the surrounding skin with colloidal silver cleansings and an over the counter wound balm.

Results after five days of ACV: LARGE protruding mole on back GONE! Leg still healing and if it turns out the mole didn't totally disappear when the scab does, I'll be giving it another try (after protecting the skin surrounding it! ).

Thanks earthclinic! You saved me a few hundred bucks and a pit of a scar!

Hi there. I believe in the power of ACV, but like you, I have this doggone mole on my shin and it is giving me a run for my money. I was wondering if you had luck in the end with yours?

Mine, I've treated with ACV a few times, but am trying (diligently) again. I was able to rough it up and scab over the middle. The very center of it peeled away, but the outer portion of it remains. It's a little sore (I think from the ACV). To touch, it feels like one of those pimples you get deep under your skin.

It's symmetrical, not getting bigger. Can't even remember when it appeared but it did out of the blue. Just an eye-sore.

I've been using the ACV for 6 days now on one of my moles. Now my mole is black and has scabbed over. Do I apply more ACV on the mole or just wait for the scab to fall off on its own?

My mole scabbed over and fell off so I started to apply healing remedies, but after about three weeks the mole has grown back but is slightly more faded. Should I apply more ACV and start the whole process again?

I've been using the ACV for 5 days now on my mole that is right above my belly button. I've noticed a big change since day 1, and now it's flat. The skin on my mole is white and it's starting to peel off is that normal ? And the mole under the white layer of skin from the mole is black is that also normal and does it mean its starting to scab over?

I'm glad to see a fellow directioner who can understand my issue! I would say that you should apply the ACV at least one more time to make sure but it sounds like it is beginning to scab over. Unfortunately my mole is on my face so I will be using a more gentle treatment! If you know of any that would be great! And let me know how your removal goes! Let's talk 1D real soon!

WORKED TEMPORARILY

Hi Guys, I tried this method with a mole on my eyebrow that I had for all my life, but it had doubled in size suddenly and it became too much for me. I did the ACV method, soaking it throughout the day whenever I thought of it, and the mole began to turn brown, then black, then I started putting peroxide on it, and it dried up the scab to the point where I saw it peeling off. Eventually with ease, by the 4th or 5th day, I was able to peel it, through I noticed the bottom part of my mole seemed to still be in tact a bit. I put neosporin and a bandage on it for 3 days and then left it to air out. it healed, hardly left a scar and for a month I didnt have anything there.

Then just a week or 2 ago, it came back. the dermatologist said all my moles were fine and I would have to pay 300 to get this one removed and that it may leave a scar.

So since I am off work for 11 more days, I started doing the Apple Cider Vinegar treatment again for the hell of it. On tues I started, this day 4 and the skin around my mole is burned, yellowish white, and the mole it self is brownish probably heading toward black. It is hideous and doesnt even seem like the mole is completely turning over. I soaked this thing to death in ACV, and I put coconut oil and scar herbal oil all around the skin to keep it from burnig but it is anyway. I don't think I should put anymore Apple Cider Vinegar on it and give it a rest and let it do what it needs to do. I'm more worried about the surrounding skin.... but I'll let you know how it goes.

Hello Chimcheree, I have the SAME issue :( I started using Apple Cider Vinegar on my mole about 3 days ago, I didn't put anything to protect the surrounding skin and now its an ugly looking burn but my mole is now flat and it feels like a scab but the mole and the surrounding skin now feels like one whole scab :( I stopped using the Apple Cider Vinegar & I put Neosporin on it. Did your mole go away? Did your burned skin heal? Do you have a scar? Pleaseee help!! Thanks

Yes! My facial mole is gone and has never returned (now writing this is 2013)!! ACV really does work and WILL permanently remove a mole if done properly. I hope you had/have the same success as I did.

I'm trying this ACV on 2 moles. The first is on my neck and I've had this mole for maybe 15 years. It's slightly raised and the size of maybe a little larger than a pencil eraser. The second mole is on my shoulder and very raised and also about the size of a pencil eraser. I've had this mole my entire life. I've been used ACV for about a week on both. The first few days I did the cotton under a band aid saked in ACV at night. Then I decided this was really excessive and just soaked a Q-tip and heald it on the mole for a few minutes a couple times a day.

The mole on my neck swelled slightly at first, but then eventually turned black, flattened and scabbed out. I'm trying my darndest not to pick at it and to let it heal on it's own. After about a week, I'm deciding not to put any more ACV on it to let the scab dry out and heal normally like any scap.

My mole on my shoulder is a determined little bugger. It only forms the black scab on the top, but not the sides. What I started doing a couple days ago was after I put chap stick on the skin around the mole to prevent from blistering, I use the cap of the chap stick, fill it with ACV, bend over pressing the cap to my skin around my mole and the stand up letting the ACV soak around my entire mole. This mole swells alot after I do this. It's really gross, but intriguing. It doesn't burn that much or anything. More like a tingle at this point. I'm giving this mole 2 more weeks, then it's off to get the big slice!
