Seborrheic Keratosis - Editor's Choice

This works. My doctor first suggested cutting it off. I asked to try freezing it which she did, saying it would probly take a couple of treatments to completely remove it because of the size. It worked for the most part but there was still some it remaining. I never bothered to go back but instead tried the ACV which I read about. I dabbed my SK, which was on my scalp, 2-3 times a day with a Q-tip saturated with ACV. In a week it started to dry out and get a little crumbly on the edges which gave me hope it was doing something. Within the next week little pieces could be picked off, and it quickly resembled a small scab that eventually came off. 2-3 weeks of ACV and it was gone. I'm astonished at how well it worked to be honest. Why doctors don't recommend this is a mystery. Somebody needs to do a study to confirm what so many of us already know by experience.

Initially I tried the Band-Aid Method. For a couple of weeks I covered my SK with one of the sticky parts of a Band-Aid, so the air couldn't get to it. On the positive side, my SK did regress. However, on the negative side A) I had to wear the tape all day, and B) this Band-Aid Method was not fast enough or me.

So I bought some (organic, unsulfured, 5%) Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) and, for exactly 11 days, I applied it with a Q-Tip, 3 to 6 times per day.

I could tell right away that the ACV Method was working on my SK. Almost immediately my SK began to shrink and turn from light brown to black. As a function of time, my SK kept getting smaller and darker. And then, on day 11 of this ACV treatment, my SK simply dropped off, or peeled off, leaving behind nothing but perfectly healthy skin. There was no crater, indentation, and or pain.

All in all, this ACV Method was a true miracle of a treatment. It saved me from cryosurgery and or the scalpel of a dermatologist.

Therefore I wholeheartedly recommend the ACV Method; I am glad that I tried it; and of course it doesn't hurt to try it. However, please keep in mind that the diagnosis of SK is not enough; there are 10 or so different kinds of SK; and the ACV Method will not work on every kind of SK.

I hope someone will be able to use this!

My Seborrheic Keratosis WAS located on my scalp above my right temple and was starting to show through my hair line. Over the last two years it has grown from dime size to a monstrous half-dollar sized ugly brown spot.

I set up a dermatologist appointment but he was booked for over a month so I still would be waiting two more weeks until the removal appointment. Being impatient I started doing research and found this site with all the reviews about removing the seborrheic keratosis with apple cider vinegar.

I applied the Apple Cider Vinegar that I found in our cabinet and started applying it with a Q-Tip 3-4 times per day.

It has been a bit over two weeks of treatment and literally like 10 minutes ago I went into the bathroom to check it out because it felt itchy and about 80% of the seborrheic keratosis just peeled off my head leaving behind perfectly healthy skin underneath.

A truly miracle of a treatment. Saved me hundreds of dollars and hair loss from the treatment the dermatologist would have done.

100% recommended. I literally can't believe it. I never do holistic medicine or at home remedies. Glad I tried it!

I read about Apple Cider Vinegar and started to apply with a cotton wool ball twice a day, the new growth above the eye brown completely disappeared within 3 weeks, the longer standing growth, after 3 months, most of it has gone and is probably about 10% of what it was and continues to reduce...amazing results!!!

Frustrated, I came online to look for remedies. I tried tea tree oil, and that appeared to be working, but it was a VERY slow process. I read on this site about the Apple Cider Vinegar, so that morning I stopped at ShopRite and got a bottle of (their brand, $1.49) ACV. I dipped a q-tip in it and applied it when I could, but on average probably 3-5 times a day.

Literally, within 3 days the seborrheic keratosis had dried up into a scab-like form. By the end of the 3rd day it was partially peeling already. After 5 days, with my help, it came off completely. After, I did scrub it while in the shower to make sure it was all gone. What was left underneath was a reddish spot. At that time I stopped the ACV and switched to Neosporin twice daily. Today is the 8th day since I began with the ACV. The spot is healing nicely. It is still pink/reddish, but I imagine that will take a while to blend in. Will keep an eye on it, but I think I am cured. Very relieved as I will not be losing a chunk of my hair, and the unsightly growth is gone! Hopefully this helps someone else out there! No more anxiety of having to have a bald spot on the side of my head!

• Daily application, for 4 days, of ACV (a soaked cotton wool pad for 10 minutes), then a paint on of Hyd Peroxide 6% solution, followed by the salisylic acid (wart remover)
• I waited about 15 minutes between the individual applications.
• I then left it alone until the dead skin started to lift naturally (about 5 days later) and got wifey to pick the whole scab clean with a pair of tweezers.
• At this point the ugly was as good as gone but I followed up with 3 more days of ACV and Hyd Peroxide 6% solution to kill off any underlying "root" structure. I did NOT reapply the wart remover as it is a very strong acid and I did not want to damage the good skin re growth.
• My final product was Aloe Vera to the treated area for its known skin repair properties.

Voila...bye bye ugly...gone... and if it wants to come back I will be ready and waiting.

I would stress that you should clearly identify what sort of keratosis you are dealing with as there are many, and some types may not take too kindly to being treated with acid (particularly salisylic acid).

Cheers and good luck.

It is unbelievable. I suggest folks forget ACV to address their skin cancers by going directly to the Eggplant and vinegar mixture.

None of this is original with me. I bought the book several years ago and Dr Cham's ointment cured two of my skin cancers. I decided to Redneck my arms before they turn to cancer and it has worked for me.

Here is the protocol:

• Peel an eggplant and churn it up with a blender of some sort.
• Add white vinegar, refrigerate and stir 2X a day.
• On the 3rd day add this to your eruptions and cover with shrink wrap and an ole sock before bed.
• Do this several days until the stuff is nothing but mush, and can be rubbed off with your fingers.

Do not tell your dermatologist what you have done, least he take you before the State Medical Board for practicing medicine without a license.

I have been at this site for many years and love ACV , but, it is not in the running with eggplant as far as skin cancer is concerned. Sorry, that's just the way I am. Old and Ornery as most know.
