I read all of the comments here about removing a mole with apple cider vinegar and I am here to report that it works.
I had a rather large, raised mole on my chin (been there since birth and steadily growing for 40 years). I applied apple cider vinegar to a small piece of cotton ball, secured with a bandaid and left on overnight -- I did this for a few days. The mole went red, then very dark black within a matter of days. I stopped doing the treatment overnight because my healthy skin around the mole became quite red and irritated. I can't quite remember the exact timing, but it was about a week when I was able to pick the mole off my chin. There was an open wound there for awhile. Then it healed over.
A piece of the mole was still there, I noticed, after some time, and it was starting to grow back, so I did the treatment again. This time, however, I gently roughened up the area with some sharp tweezers, to allow the vinegar to soak in better. I think this did help. And I only applied the apple cider vinegar with a Q-tip and/or a small piece of cotton ball, holding it in place for about an hour a night, rather than leaving the treatment on overnight. I did this for a few days and the remaining piece of mole withered up and died, too. Turned black, then into a scab, and then an open wound which healed up after a few days/a week.
Now I have smooth skin where the mole used to be, although there is still a bit of a discolouration / scar. However, I'd way rather have a bit of discolouration on my chin than the big unsightly mole. I think the discolouration may fade over time, but if it doesn't I don't care, as it's easily covered with a touch of makeup or just left alone, it looks fine.
For people doing this treatment, it does work, but I would NOT recommend leaving the apple cider vinegar on overnight with the bandaid, even if you do try to protect the skin around the mole -- the vinegar is very strong and it will burn your skin. It's not necessary to stay on that long -- Just spot-apply it with a Q-tip or small piece of cotton ball, and let it soak for an hour or two each day, for 2 - 3 days. If I ever do this treatment again that's what I'll do. Then the surrounding skin isn't irritated/burned, as that experience is quite painful and disconcerting.
This is a very cool treatment and I just wanted to let others know that it works, quite amazing!

Apply the ACV cotton ball each day for 30 minutes ( don’t wash it off) for 4 days. The spot will turn black and within a week it will flake off and the spot will finish healing. Repeat procedure in 2 weeks if no completely gone.

Hey I basically had the same experience just wanted to know, did you keep bandaiding the area and keeping it covered in aquaphor for the 3-5 months? That's what I'm doing now 4 days in and it looks very good ð¤ seems like I quickly burned the mole off and it's already going to the red/pink phase

I've been using the apple cider vinegar on a mole behind my hair on my neck for about I would say 4-6 days now its crusty and feels like its coming close to falling off I keep a cotton ball with apple cider vinegar with a band aid on for 8 hours a day and I'm hoping soon it falls off its completely painless.

I had a mole on my belly for years, then it changed and raised up like a bubble. So having previous good results with ACV on the skin I soaked and squeezed out some cotton with ACV and covered it with a square bandage so it would stay moist and prevent air from drying it out. I did this for a week, possibly a bit longer. The entire thing fell out and left a clean and clearly defined crater in my belly, which healed over, completely smooth although the skin color is slightly whiter in that spot. Just absolutely amazing!! Good going on your success as well!

I used to have a raised brown mole in the middle of my face. First I went to a plastic surgeon who wouldn't touch it and was afraid of it scarring. Than I heard of ACV. Let me tell you I was at my wit's end with this mole. Imagine waking up every morning for 20 years and looking into a mirror and seeing a spot on your face that you can never just wipe off.
Anyway... I applied Apple Cider Vinegar to my face and did not really protect the surrounding skin other than just not trying to get Apple Cider Vinegar on it. After scratching up the mole a bit I applied Apple Cider Vinegar to it using a q-tip. I do not think I used a band-aid but rather just constantly dipped and applied it using a q-tip for a few hours with applied pressure. I may have used a band-aid for one night but I would bet on it that I didn't. Q-tip constant application with pressure will drastically speed up the process.
So the mole turned somewhat white, shrinked and than scabbed up. Over a week or so this scab fell off. I noticed a little spot that was still brown so I did the same process again and voila, no more mole.
The healing process takes time and it will be red->pink for a while. Probably will take 3-6 months to return to skin color. So here I am 5 years later and you can't even tell anything was ever on my face. Looks perfect. (It looked like it does now 4 years ago)
I feel as though ACV really targets the mole instead of the surrounding skin. Moles are really susceptible to ACV (I used Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother). You should still give an effort to protect the skin even though I didn't, just to be safe.

The same procedure for removing warts with apple cider vinegar also works for removing moles. I had a mole right above one of my eyebrows. I lightly ruffed it up with a finger nail file, applied a cotton ball soaked in ACV and put a piece of tape over it before going to bed. Did this for about 5 nights and the mole was gone in 2 weeks. No scars.

On and off for years I have added ACV (with the Mother) to my water and drink it throughout the day. One of the first things I noticed when I started was that a flat mole I'd had forever raised up into a huge mushroom dome shape. Next, it turned crusty, and it finally flaked completely off. When it finished flaking off, there was no scar, or any hint that it had ever been there. The skin was so perfect with no difference in skin color from the rest of my skin. The process took a few weeks, and the first time it happened, I was freaked out. at first, I didn't relate it to the AVC, and thought OMG, I have cancer.
I have continued for about 10 years now and it's strange... it only targets one mole at a time. There have been about 5-6, maybe more, over the years. The process is always the same or similar. I don't freak out now, I count myself fortunate because I feel that these are/were the ones developing (or having) cancer. All matched the usual criteria for cancer - odd shaped, dark or partially black. I don't think the amount of ACV is as important as being consistent in drinking the ACV/water. I usually just toss a couple of big splashes into my large water bottle. I can tell you that if I stopped the ACV/water at any point in the process of it targeting a mole, the process also stopped.
A few times I was traveling and just found it too hard to continue during the trip. But when I returned and started the ACV again, then the process completed. I have been astounded. I wasn't taking the ACV for the moles. I had no idea it would solve this. I fell that our body can heal itself if we give it what it needs. I think the ACV used topically is probably similar in it's mechanism, but I do like the idea that my body is possibly taking the ACV tools I'm giving it to decide what needs to be addressed/healed. Maybe drinking it (as opposed to using topically) keeps other, more obscure, cancers in check, not just the ones I can see.

ACV removes moles. Indeed it does. I tried this method on a mole I had between my eyes and that was 5 years ago. It is painful, leaves a gross, blackened scab, and takes a while to heal, but it rids you of moles.
I treated the scab with Lavender/Tea Tree essential oils throughout the day to aid in the healing process and to avoid scars, which worked well. I have since treated several moles with the same success.
