Apple Cider Vinegar for Solar Keratosis
Linda (Las Vegas, NV) on 08/09/2006:
I read on your site where it cured solar keratosis under a woman's eye. I have had solar keratosis all over my legs and arms for years. I am fair skinned and grew up in the desert. Dermatologists told me there was nothing I could do to make them go away. Recently I decided to try ACV and to my astonishment they are just about gone. It is the most remarkable thing I have ever seen. I used to be embarrassed to wear shorts they were so bad. Now they are so close to being gone that I am now wearing shorts. I applied it directly to them twice a day. The smell does go away! It really does work. I am so thankful I read this woman's article. Thank you.

Several weeks ago I re-read after many years, Dr. Jarvis's book "Folk Medicine" in which he extolls the virtues of ACV. Being a Vermonter myself, I decided to try using it internally and externally. I had never used it regularly before. A very stubborn solar keratosis under my left eye is markedly better and on it's way to disappearing completely (finally!). I had put vitamin e and other things on it to no avail. ACV is really doing the trick. In general, my facial skin is noticeably enhanced in smoothness and color. I have dark hair and fair skin, and have always looked like Morticia Adams.. .the ACV has given me more natural "blush" like the apples it's made from. I have been taking about 2 tablespoons a day, and bathing in it several times a week. Great stuff! I have super long hair and it has made it very soft and enhances the natural wave when I use it as a final rinse.
