5 out of 5 stars

I stumbled upon this website by accident about 6 months ago. I have tried several of the suggestions mentioned for different ailments and they have all worked. I tried the remedy for mole removal using organic apple cider vinegar from the health food store. I had this ugly mole on my neck and I must say that after soaking a cotton ball and applying it to the mole at night for 5 days, securing it with a bandaid, I am mole free. Thank you so much for that helpful suggestion. I have also been using the organic apple cider vinegar on my melasma (face) applying it directly on the skin using a cotton ball and it has lighten the areas on my cheeks and forehead. I think in a few months the melasma will have faded completely.

I've been meaning to post about melasma for awhile now, and your post reminded me to do it. Melasma can be a sign of a copper overload. I had melasma on my forehead and jaws until I added 50mg/day of Zinc Picolinate to my diet. After I did that the melasma faded away. For me, it was a completely unexpected result, but since Zinc balances Copper, my result leads me to conclude that I was too high in Copper. I had the melasma at the same time I was hypothyroid, hypoadrenal and estrogen over-loaded, all of which can lead to a build-up of Copper in the body (as I now know).

EC: Thanks Kathy! Cross-posted to the melasma page.

Hi there. Yeah, I just want to submit my experience with this remedy. I underwent the Apple Cider Vinegar procedure as outlined by many posters on this forum

I'm at about day 3 - it does appear to work alright. I had a mole (minimally raised) on my face and it has appeared to have gone. I applied ACV to it after using an emery board to chaf it. It stings a little bit upon application. I soaked a bit of tissue and applied a plaster over it and left it on overnight. It initially turned white, then in the subsequent days it turned darker. I was worried the next day upon inspection as it appeared to grow larger - I think that might have been the ACV that might have burned the surrounding skin. So I left the plaster off for a day and just applied ACV with a cotton bud. The next day it started to scab and just came off this morning. It is a little bit pink now but the mole is gone. I've been applying Vitamin E cream to it in the meantime. Looks like it's working to calm the redness, but I can't tell just at the moment. I'll post again in a few days time to let you know of the progress. Just to say, there's no scarring as such, just a little redness. I very happy overall.

Okay, so I had this stupid mole on my nose ever since childhood and was always a reason for people to pick on me and make fun of it, I have other moles on my face which don't really bother me but this one has made me sad for a long time and the only way to make it unnoticable was to use a tone of makeup on my face "it's a flat mole" but too much makeup started to make my skin even worse so I decided to remove it myself after I read this thread.

Okay so I did the needle scratch then ACV method but always ended up burning the skin around the mole because the mole itself is small "yet too noticable due to it's place on top of my nose" so I couldn't use a bandage I just hold a q-tip soaked in ACV press it to the mole for 20 mins, I did that for three days straight, then I stopped yesterday because I didn't want to keep getting the skin around burnt, especially I go to school and it's become harder to hide the area with makeup because of the burn, it's not a bad burn but again because of it's place it's very noticable, so anyway yesterday the mole was really dry and the mole itself was split in half so I decided I have to just pluck it out, obviously I wasn't supposed to but I was so fed up with the mole and so I plucked out the first half, it was all gone, but when I did to the other half it looks like something is left, there's a really tiny curve-line of a brown shade "much brighter than the mole's color" I'm not sure because the area is still burnt, I was wondering if I should do the same ACV process again on that line, just to make sure the mole wont come back, or if that line will fade once the burnt area is healed, I'm still waiting to see how it will look when it heals, then I'll decide...
