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??

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.

10 days after quitting the procedure, there is a crusty scab on the tip of my nose, and the skin around the edges appears red. This was not the mole, just skin nearby that was broken and got "burned". I'm still really worried because the other scab has healed and fallen off, leaving pink, new, normal looking skin. The mole is still there, but like I said before, I'm not even really concerned about the moles anymore. I'm just hoping I didn't give myself a scar right on the tip of my nose which would be far worse. I didn't like my moles, but I'd rather have a few moles than be disfigured. I've been putting aloe on it (from the real aloe leaf). Still trying to be patient because if it was indeed an infected scab, it may take longer to heal. Does anyone on this forum have any experience with an infected scab?
