Hey Danniella. I too was recently working on two moles on my stomach and experienced the same as you. One mole went flat, turned black, scabbed over and eventually came off. The second mole came off in layers. Didn't quite get why but I kept at it. Seems to me it was just a little more stubborn than the other one. Since you are dabbing it with Apple Cider Vinegar and not covering it on your face, I would continue for a few more days then stop. My only recommendation is to let the scabs come off by itself. I became a little to anxious and pulled one off before it was ready to. I've been a little red where it was versus letting it do its own thing.. Perfectly normal looking skin on the other. Good luck!

Sorry, one more thing mole removers! I DID NOT SCORE OR EVEN DARE try to damage my mole before I put Apple Cider Vinegar on. That's just scary and I don't know whether that is safe at all! Yes I know we're putting vinegar on our faces but I mean as safe as can be. So from my other comments that I have written, you can see that actually the outcome is still generally the same as those people who are scoring their moles first. Please be safe people. Doing it slowly is probably the best method and the best outcome. Just dab Apple Cider Vinegar on your moles with a cotton bud for a few minutes and not put cotton wool with a plaster on and run the risk of it touching/dripping on to your healthy skin. Your choice but just keep safe. USE LOADS OF VASELINE AT ALL TIMES.Replied By Anon (Newcastle, Uk) on 08/18/2010
I 'had' four moles on the right side of my face which had bothered me for some time... After reading the feedback on the use of ACV to remove moles I decided to give it a go, I scored each mole with sandpaper and applied ACV with a cotton-bud directly to each mole over a couple of days until they turned darker in colour and scabbed, over the following week I eased the scabs away from each mole leaving the skin free to heal with absoluteley no sign of any of the moles remaining... Fantastic Remedy! , Thanks Earth Clinic & its Contributers.Replied By Danniella (Essex, Uk) on 08/25/2010
Please help. I posted a few times a couple of weeks ago about my 'successes' of removing my moles with Apple Cider Vinegar (2 large raised ones on my face). All seemed fine and am currently treating my scars etc.... BUT NOW, my moles are reappearing over the scars/crater! They look even bumpier and worse than the original moles. Has this happened to anyone else? I feel so disheartened to have gone through this whole process (let alone the highs and lows of emotions) to find that this has all been for nothing. As the moles are on my face, it's obviously visual to others and so I've avoided seeing anyone over the last few weeks. This has dented my confidence even more. Please help me anyone.Replied By Addy (Fb, Ga) on 08/25/2010
Hey Danniella from Essex, Uk. I noticed the other night that two moles popped up just adjacent to a previous mole. This has me curious.. Did it seem to be a little stubborn and come off in layers or did it all turn black and come off at once?I removed two moles.. One with Apple Cider Vinegar w/o mother(kitchen brand) turned black, fell off, end of that one. The second one with organic avc with mother took a little work. It came off in layers.. I think it took about 3 weeks before it fell off. I thought it strange but now that someone else got it.. I'm curious if anyone knows what happened?

Thanks Addy for replying. I thanked you for your previous comments a few days ago, as well as updating my progress but they didn't submit my comments for some reason?! Anyway, they both went black and scabbed up. I'm going to number them to make it easier to explain. Number 1 mole: It's hidden slightly by my hair so I left completely alone and it shrunk and I kind of nudged it off gently. This one came of in layers. This one does not look as bad. This one is a crater and the outside circle is brown. I am not sure if this is going to grow into a full mole??Number 2 mole: This one was more visable (under my eye) and so I did tug at that one. This one is the worse one so maybe you must have to leave it completely alone. Unfortunately as it is on my face I really feel I can't just have this horrible scab hanging of which is why the most visable one I really needed to get it off. Underneath it was very white and soft almost liquidy. The mole is growing over the crater more and more every day. I used cheap cider vinegar from the shop.

Hi Daniella. Did you try reapplying some ACV with Q-tips to the new growth. I'm theorizing here, but it could be that you didn't get all of it the first time around (that is all the mole cells, since moles are caused by benign abnormal cells), so it's growing back. Especially because you mentioned it was hard to get rid of.Replied By Karen From Oregon (Sealrock, Oregon) on 08/30/2010
I had a black mole on my neck that finally had to go. It was getting in the way of my clothes & was growing a bit each year & was getting way too large & ugly. I sliced a garlic & put it over the mole & secured it with a band aid & left it in place for 3 days. (not getting it wet) I then removed the garlic & didn't put another back on for 3 days. After two rounds of the garlic the mole started to dry up, scaled up, & started shedding layers off until it was all gone. Yea! The whole process took about 2wks. Or so.Replied By Lee (New York) on 08/30/2010
Did you smell like garlic during the 3 days? I've tried, unsuccessfully with ACV, dandruff shapoo, h202. I'd love to try your method but am worried about the smell. Congratulations to you!Replied By I Hate My Mole (Virginia, Va) on 11/24/2011
I started the ACV treatment on the 18th on a slightly raised mole in between my eyebrows YIKES THIS TOOK ALOT OF BRAVERY about the size of this "O". I read all of the comments on this site and felt real confident based on others results that ACV was the way to go. I lightly scratched my mole with a sterile needle and applied ACV with a Q-tip and held it in place for about 5 mins about 3 times a day, I was really scared of permanent scarring so didn't leave it on all night.
Second day the mole turned black and went flat and twice the size (it almost looked like a had a mono-brow), day 3 it looked like it was lightly scabing but definitely not ready for it fall off or even pick at, so I continued with the treatment, I had some swelling around the mole also I guess I burned my self even though I used alot of vaseline to protect the surrounding skin, wasn't too worried about that.
By day 6 I was getting really worried that the mole was not scabbing as others had described and was still swollen but now it looked like the mole had sunk into a crater, so I decided to stop the treatment.
Since last night (23rd) I've been using vitamin E oil and triple antibiotic to help with the healing. 24th it seems to be healing but still a little sore and red around the mole and the scab is no longer black but has turned to a dark-ish brown. Im going to let it heal completely and hope for the best. Has any one else had a similar experience? Does it sound I like I did something wrong? Would appreciate any feed back or advice as I obviously want this darn thing gone.
PS, I had my mole checked and was told it was a benign mole.
