I read on this site about using ACV for moles. I had a mole under my bra-line that formed in my late 20's after a bad sunburn. It was tiny for years then slowly grew to a bigger size. Recently it got so swollen it was very embarassing and started to look like a 3rd nipple! I had to do something but I hate doctors, so no way I was getting it surgically removed. I was scared to use ACV at first but finally I had to try it. I roughed up the mole using a pumice stone (this took bravery). Then I tore apart a cotton ball to make a piece that would just cover the mole, and soaked it with ACV. I used band-aids to tape it on. I put on a fresh one every night and kept it on until my next shower. The mole would form a crust/scab on top that would flake off and sometimes in the shower I would lose a whole layer of the mole! I was amazed and kept at it. It took at least 3 weeks and now I have a flat pink spot where the mole was. The ACV did burn sometimes, I won't lie. I'm sure this would freak out some people but I just tried to stay brave. I did not have to use any vaseline around the mole on the healthy skin like some people report doing. I think the ACV only soaks into skin that is broken, thus the roughing up the mole first with pumice stone.

I am amazed, and so is my husband. He wanted me to get it surgically removed! I used organic ACV with the mother.

Hi Kelly from Athens, GA. I read your story about the mole you removed with ACV and couldn't believe how similar it is to my scar. I also got a very bad sunburn on my braline when I was a teen. It really did not show up until my late 30's at which time I had it biopsied to see if was skin cancer. The doctor at the time said it wasn't, but after that the scar got worse. It became lumpy and very weird shaped. I never went back to the doctor, but always wondered how to get rid of it. I'm in my early 50's now and I may just try the ACV and see what happens. I'm glad you had success and appreciate your recent post. Thanks!

Hi there,

After reading the various testimonies, I want to try this method. The only thing is that I want to get rid of three hideous sebaceous cysts that are located on my face. Anyone knows if Apple Cider Vinegar works on those? I am worried to fail and make them bigger (believe me there are big enough)

Thanks for your answer.

I have been using strictly tincture of iodine on my moles with excellent results. I had a rather large mole just above my jawline on the left side of my face. I kept applying tincture to it and covering it with a bandaid and I did that consistently for 3 weeks and it fell off and NO scar whatsoever. I did NOT prick it or anything. I think disturbing it like that may be what is causing the scarring. I did not insert a needle into it. I just put a dab of iodine on it and a bandaid every single day. I am now using it on some other moles and again, no scarring.
