Apple Cider Vinegar got rid of a mole

NOTE* I used Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar

Since I was a little kid, I've always had problems with moles. A lot of people are lucky and don't have many noticeable moles. Me, well, not so lucky. I just happen to have more on my face then anywhere else. They're pretty noticeable to, not like little ones you can only see from up close. Now I'm realizing that these things are pretty darn ugly.

I decided I would test ACV on a not noticeable area to see if it was for me. I had a dark brown slightly raised mole on the front of my left shoulder that was similar to one of the main ones on my face I wanted to get rid of, so I decided to use it as a test mole. What I did was:Right before bed I got a needle and scratched the mole, making it bleed slightly (Not the best idea, just get it nice and tender instead). I then ripped the end of a Q-tip off and soaked it in ACV. I made sure it wasn't soaked but it still had a nice amount of ACV in it. I then duct taped the ACV soaked cotton swab to my ugly mole and removed the tape in the morning before my shower. No progress was noted in the first couple days, but I decided to stay at it. Once day four or five got around, a scab that if picked at, revealed a crater like thing formed. It was ugly but it wasn't on my face so I was ok. After a week or two, the crater filled in an left me with a pink very, very, slighty raised scar. I'm posting this almost exactly a month after the actual treatment happend, and the scar is blending in but isn't completely gone. Another month or two though and it will be gone. I would like to note that the ACV DID NOT burn my skin. I don't know why, maybe it's my skin type or the brand I used.

I hope to try the iodine method on another mole similar to the one removed thats above my collar bone, then which method to use on my face. I wish anyone luck who reads this, because one mole can really make a difference. If you plan to use ACV on your face I would recommend swabbing it on with a Q-tip, three or four times a day, not slapping it on your face over night. Any questions I will answer if you leave some, and good luck again.

I'm the same person who posted on 1/21/09, and I have removed a few more moles and would like to share my expanded knowledge. The first mole I removed scar was a little pink last time I posted, but it is completely gone now. You would never be able to tell I even had a mole there! Since then I have removed two other moles, one which is still healing. Unlike the last one, these were flat moles and on my legs. The first one I removed was lighter colored and weird looking, and took about three days. It turned black on day two and never scabbed. On day three I just peeled it off and there was raw skin under. The mole wasn't deep in my skin, so it didn't leave a crater like wound. The skin where that mole was is completely healed now, and I have a slight scar that will most likely heal. The next mole I removed was a small black dot. This mole was very deep in my skin, and left a crater wound. I thought it would never heal and I was very upset. But it is almost completely gone! I thought even if it did heal the scar would atleast be horrible, but you can almost not even see it. I'm also removing the one on my collar bone right now, it's been two days. I've forgotten to scratch it with a needle, so I haven't made much progress. Theres a raised one on my face I'm also in the process of removing, except I'm using Oregano Oil. When I post again in a few months I tell how everything heals up and how the Oregano works. FLAT MOLES CAN BE REMOVED. THEY WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF SCARRING THOUGH BECAUSE MOST OF THEM GO DEEPER IN THE SKIN (USUALLY THE DARKER ONES ARE DEEPER.)
