5 out of 5 stars

I am 47 and had a pencil eraser size mole on my cheek for over 20 years. It was a raised, flesh and red colored "bump". One MD said it would need to be "scooped out" and cause a scar. So I left it alone until my sister so graciously said " get that big ugly thing off your face, it makes you look old". AHHHH, I ran home and found this site. Well, I slice and diced this mole up and it bleed for a few minutes. I put the vaseline around it. Used a qtip and every hour or so applied the ACV. This got redundant, so I put a small piece of the qtip cotton in a bandaid and went to bed for 4 hrs. Thats when I woke up having a night mare that I would awaken to a burned out hole in my face. So, I discontinued treatment at 3 AM! This mole looked white and blistery. It had a red ring around it, on the skin that received a bit of a burn from the ACV. The next day it was blackened and I got very anxious that I screwed myself! I alternated from honey to 100% aloe gel on a bandaid. The bandaids I used were the ones that you can swim with and keeps it very much sealed. It even looks good on. After keeping it moist (moisture is best for healing!!! ) for 2 days the scab softened and the whole mole kept diminishing. 5 days later it is completely gone and flat to my face with only a red healing spot that is easily managed with coverup. During the last 3 days of healing, I was not anxious about any scaring. Whew! I applied iodine 3-4 times a day and that help it the rest of the way. I recommend this treatment. ONLY, DO it gradually- like 4hrs in one day and NOT NOT NOT over night. Remember: You must score up the mole. It isnt pretty for a few days. And, I was extremely anxious the first two days. I can see where it can burn and scar if you are too aggressive.

Hi, am currently trying the ACV method for moles and wondered, did you only score the mole the first time you applied the ACV or on every occasion of applying the ACV? Wasn't sure if it was necessary on subsequent treatments or just the first time. Thanks! Janice

I only scored the mole once and applied the ACV daily and the mole fell off.

This was nothing short of amazing! I had a noticeable mole on the side of my cheek. I never had it removed due to fear of scarring. After reading all the posts on this site, I had no doubt that ACV was the way to go. I lightly roughed up the surface of the mole with an emery board, soaked a small piece of cotton in ACV and secured it with a bandaid. I did this in the morning and changed the dressing in the evening. After three days, the mole looked softer and the outer layers started sloughing off. By the fourth day, most of it was gone BUT there was a fairly deep and very raw looking indentation. I applied a mixture of Vitamin E and rose hip seed oil several times a day. Within a week, the wound started closing up and within two weeks the area was flat but discolored -- nothing a little concealer couldn't fix. It took about four weeks to heal completely, no discoloration whatsoever and it's like it never happened! I can't tell you how thrilled I am with this remedy. It also worked like a charm on two other moles I had on my leg.
