I attempted to remove 3 moles on my face using the method described on the site. The only thing I did differently was skip using an emory board. There was a little bit of broken skin (head of pin size) near one of the moles. This happened sometime during the procedure. Maybe taking a bandaid off, but I don't know. The area surrounding the broken skin turned brown within a matter of a few hours of contact with the acv. It stung. I took the band aid and Apple Cider Vinegar soaked cotton off immediately and rinsed with water. I quit the procedure. A few days later, I still have a very dark spot, and it is sore to the touch. I cannot tell if it is a scab or just a dark spot. The dark spot was ringed with a yellowish outline and I'm wondering if the broken skin somehow got infected. I'm wondering if this will heal or if the spot is permanent. Another mole I treated got "burned" on and around the mole. It scabbed and most of the scab has fallen off. The skin underneath is pink and I cannot tell if the mole is gone, but I suspect not. The other mole does not appear to be healing the same way, and I am worried. At this point, I'd take having the moles over having a disfiguring dark spot on the tip of my nose. Trying to be patient and not freak out. Can anyone help??

I am admitting I am not so smart at times. I had this mole pop up on the side of my nose a few months ago. I started picking at it and have been picking at it...picking scab off since that time. Of course, it has just gotten more scabbed. So, I break out my trusty Earth Clinic information (A few months too late), and decide to do the ACV treatment (sort of). I have been roughing up and dabbing ACV with q-tip for a couple of days. I haven't kept a bandage or soaked cloth on. This morning, I did the same thing...not being gentle and rubbing and pressing this q-tip onto the mole....and when I got done with it, I noticed it had bled. Now, it had bled before as I was continually picking at it before I tried this treatment. Not much, but it did. Can someone please tell me if you think I am in trouble here? I don't notice any infection or soreness, but I certainly did a stupid thing. Should I continue on with my ACV treatment as I have been?

I used ACV for a mole on my face, after 3 nights of a cotton ball soaked in this and applied each night with a bandaid. I have developed about an inch wide patch of darkened skin, and it is warm to the touch and sore.

What can I do to reverse that darkening?

I've been using Apple Cider Vinegar for 4 days now. I got a mole under my nose just above my lips and got teased before. A little part of it is hard now and darker than it normally is. Is it scabbing now or what? I put Apple Cider Vinegar overnight.

Hello everyone!! I love this site and I truly enjoy reading everyone's comments about their mole removal journey. I've had a small (3mm-4mm), flesh-colored mole above my lip for several years now. It causes me so much stress and, after reading this blog for awhile, I decided to give the ACV method a try last week. I roughed up my mole with a sterilized needle and surrounded the mole with Vaseline. Afterwards, I placed a Q-tip dipped in ACV on the site. Within several minutes, the mole had shriveled up and turned into a black scab. I left it alone for almost a week; however, I noticed that the skin around the mole site was red and raised. (it almost looks like I have a life saver around the scab). The scab came off to reveal a crater area, but the skin around it is still inflammed and red! Did I remove the whole mole or did I just doughnut punch the center of it? I have a crater, which looks worse now that the skin around it is still raised and red. Please help! Did anyone else experience this? I have been placing antibiotic ointment and Neosporin in the crater. Any advice would be much appreciated. I am so terrified that I ruined my face forever!

ACV worked in getting rid of my moles, but there were scars from the scabbing process. I read reviews that aloe gel works in healing scars from moles.

I tried aloe plant to treat the scar, but not the scar from my mole, I tried it on my hand instead, and it stings.. the aloe.. so I washed it away because obviously it was not working. the next day I woke up with allergic reactions on my hand from the aloe.

I looked for products that are actually clinically tested, and there's this one gel, dermatix silicone gel, it definitely worked.. in about 2 weeks the scars are almost unnoticeable.
