I broke out in those spots all over the place after I took ivermectin for a few days. Contrary to 'science' I believe they are parasite related

I've tried all the other remedies, ACV worked on a few. I started using bentonite clay to get the silica & as a mask for the eczema on my hands (it's working miracles! ). I randomly put some on a spot - within a few hours it was visibly smaller!!!

The clay dries and falls off the surrounding skin, but seems to grab onto the spot. You have to wash it off, or (as I do) pick it off, taking a good portion of the 'spot' with it. Even being gentle & washing the mud off greatly reduces the spot. I had two large ones on my hip and they are just about gone after 5 days. I apply it a couple times a day, wear my clothes over it & have no issues. Real bentonite clay doesn't stain clothing. I only wear cotton, so YMMV

I haven't seen this suggestion anywhere on the 'net so I thought I'd share it here. I am also detoxing with zeolite & bentonite clay, although I think I'm going to stop the clay as it's kind of gross & doesn't seem to have much more effect than the zeolite. I think I'll just drink zeolite & use the clay externally. I have food grade bentonite, but the clay I'm using externally is cosmetic grade and working great! If you have eczema or dermatitis, try bentonite clay on the rash. It stops itching immediately & is helping the skin heal between daily outbreaks. Wish I could figure out what I'm allergic to.

Please let me know if this helps you or if you want more info!

I used the cheap Iodine 2% purchased from Walmart. Applied every day, twice a day for 2 weeks. It dried up and I can scrape it off using my finger nails. The only drawback is that Iodine stains the skin. My SK is small, the size of a sesame seed, so the Iodine, when applied, is bigger than the SK. I still have the dark 'burn' marks on the skin. Hoping it will fade with time.

Device That Burns Holes in Seb Keratosis

Theresa (Longview, TX) on 11/10/2024

Seborrheic Keratosis gone in a few days

I've successfully removed senile warts with apple cider vinegar in the past, but I found an easier solution. A J-plasma device. You "burn" multiple holes in the warts. They turn black, die, dry up, and can be scraped off in a few days. Unlike freezing that the dermatologists do, they will never come back. Handheld J-Plasma devices are available to purchase for less than $100. Will remove moles too.

Need Help Treating Fizzing Keratosis with 35% Hydrogen Peroxide and more

Katherine (California) on 07/01/2024

I have had a keratosis (diagnosed by many doctors) on my face next to my eye for over 20 years. I have a newer red spot below my eye that I have treated with 3% H202 and apple cider vinegar. Both worked a little, but spot wouldn’t go away.

So, because I wanted to get rid of that spot I bought 35% H202 and tried it yesterday. It didn’t fizz right away. Next I put a Q-tip sized dot of 35% on the keratosis and it fizzed and grew to 3x the size in a few minutes. The peroxide got onto tissue below the keratosis and it fizzed. Then, the area along my cheek bone fizzed all the way to my nose connecting the original keratosis with the new spot. The area was hyper pigmented in between, but smooth. Now it has fizzing blister-like raised spots along the pigmented edges. Reading about skin cancer here, I saw the paste of baking soda and coconut oil. Tried that today. Now whole area is red and swollen, so I sprayed it with Argentin Silver. Swelling has gone down, but need some advise on how to use both 35% H202 and BS paste. … how many times a day, How long to leave on or something else. I have healed myself so many times with remedies here. I am drinking 1/2 tsp BS in 8oz water 7x day for alkalinity. A Dr Sircus recommendation for cancer.

I am only in my second day of discovery and treatment. It is overwhelming! Any advice?

Magnesium Oil for Seborrheic Keratosis

Beamer (Brisbane) on 03/20/2024

Magnesium Oil (Magnesium Chloride)

I was using Magnesium Oil on my lower back for pain.

Within 2 days of rubbing it on the growth I had in the same area died and could scrape it off with my fingernail.

It had become a gritty consistency and came straight off. It didn't grow back for as long as I used the Magnesium Oil.

You can make this yourself by dissolving magnesium chloride flakes in water.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Seborrheic Keratosis

Daniel (Toronto) on 04/30/2023

Apple Cider Vinegar for Seborrheic Keratosis

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.

Eggplant and Vinegar for Seborrheic Keratosis

jobie (minnesota) on 01/10/2023

A few years ago I developed a scaley rash on my nose. My dermatologist treated it and the cancer oozed out. It was quite ugly but worked. Within the last year, on the same area of my nose I developed a bb size hard nodule under the skin. I decided to try a recipe of eggplant and acv. It has been about a month and the nodule is almost gone. I can barely tell where it is now. I use a cotton swab and wipe down the area on my face 2x a day. If your face feels dry afterward, use coconut oil to moisturize it. How to make it: Use an organic eggplant by cutting it up in pieces (do NOT peel it first). I believe the peel is the important part from what I read somewhere. Put it in a jar and cover with organic acv. I let it sit for at least 3 days before using it. Strain out the pieces of eggplant and keep the liquid to use on the cancer. I read that this will work with other kinds of cancer except for melanoma. Also I would have it diagnosed by a dermatologist before any kind of treatment.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Seborrheic Keratosis

Dr K (Scotland ) on 07/22/2021

I have been reading about this as a treatment for seborrheic keratosis and wanted to just add a reminder that vinegar is an acid that can cause skin damage.

For example, there are numerous case reports of skin burns from apple cider vinegar.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26155328/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22980269/

Lots of people seem to have success with this method which is great. The benefits of using vinegar should be weighed against the risks of using it too. I may try it myself one day - but with great caution. Occlusion (use of bandages over the area) may increase the risk of burns. Using acid near the eyes is especially dangerous. potentially catastrophic.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Seborrheic Keratosis

Paul (Milwaukee) on 06/25/2021

Unbelievable I am so happy!

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!

Castor oil applied directly to seborrheic keratosis is softening and dissolving the growths. Rubbing it in is good too.

I had been using Apple Cider Vinegar for months and it didn’t really do anything, apart from making it look more inflamed. So I stopped that after about 5 months, and started to use Aloe Vera Gel 99.9% and its natural, use as often as you want. After only a few weeks I have noticed it’s flatter and smaller so Im really pleased, I’m hoping it will disappear completely. I would 100% recommend using Aloe Vera Gel its about £6 for 200ml size from any health shop. Hope this helps others that have a Seborrheic Karatosis

Apple Cider Vinegar for Seborrheic Keratosis

Marina (Australia) on 09/19/2018

I'm another ACV success story. I have a few spots under my breast and the dermatologist couldn't do anything for them. I successfully removed one a year ago by rubbing ACV on the spot for 20 minutes a couple of times during the day. It made it look worse before it looked better. I only tried one spot that was the darkest, the largest, the oldest and the most raised to test it because I was worried it may get infected given its location. It was red raw and and seepy for a few days so I placed pieces of cotton fabric to soak up the moisture and keep the area clean and dry. It took a couple of weeks but it healed nicely and apart from a bit of slightly darker area surrounding the spot, there is not much evidence it even existed, despite me having it for ten years. I'm now repeating the process on the rest of them all at once this year. It's a little uncomfortable and it burns a little but nothing unbearable. I prefer a little pain than the constant itch I had from them rubbing on my underwire bra. As I experienced last year, they should heal up and get itchy one more time before they disappear forever.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Seborrheic Keratosis

Dennis (Springfield, Ma) on 04/11/2018

I had a seborrheic keratosis on my left cheek just below my eye. About the size of a pencil eraser, it has been there for about ten years. It was unsightly, but also subject to cutting when I shaved. I read about the apple cider vinegar treatment and although skeptical, gave it a try. Well I can tell you, I was amazed at how well this worked. With 2 applications a day for about a half hour each, in 10 days the thing is 95 % gone. Total cost for ACV and cotton pads was less than $10.00. We'll see if it comes back, but I'll start treating it right away. Thanks so much for the advise.

I have had one large area of Seborrhoea Keratosis on my face for nearly 20 years, growing slowly att the time, another one appeared above my eye brow last year, growing quickly. I had them both checked out by my Doctor and specialist, not harmful and no real treatment.

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!!!

Experimented and Finally Found Effective Remedy Combo for Seborrheic Keratosis!

Lisa (Hawaii) on 01/16/2018

Several years ago I was diagnosed with seborrheic keratosis in several places, and the Doctor used liquid nitrogen to freeze it. It was very painful and it came back. Next I tried burning it off myself using a soldering iron. It was much less painful but eventually came back, perhaps not as fast as before. So next I used some Chaga tea and extract, I put it on once a day for several weeks which actually made it smaller (NO PAIN) but it didn't completely go away. Next I tried Methylene blue (You can buy this for fish in the pet store to treat fungal infection) I suspected the Seborrheic keratosis is fungal in triggering it because it seems to come out in dark moist areas of the skin, especially on my back because I sleep on my back and sweat at night.

The methylene blue worked well. Just one dose and it dried up and fell off. But eventually came back and I had to repeat it. Since the MB stains I was looking for another cleaner remedy. I tried Garlic cloves, a slice taped to it, and I did seem to make it smaller after a few days of treatment, but I wanted something easier.

Now I tried my best cure yet:

I mixed up DMSO (Pure) with distilled water 50/50 in a 2 oz dropper bottle with 1/8 tsp pure potassium Iodide crystals and 500 mg niacin. I put this on once a day after my shower each eve. It was clean and didn't stain anything. The spots slowly got smaller & after a month are about 1/3 the original size or the smaller ones are gone completely. I am keeping this up until all are gone. I am also going to do some candida detox protocols to get rid of the systemic fungal. It also got rid of my brown liver spots when I used it on them.
