9 days ago I started treatment to remove a mole the size of a pencil eraser on my inner thigh with apple cider vinegar. I placed a cotton ball in the Apple Cider Vinegar for the first 4 days and changed it every so often to make sure it was still moist. I placed a gauze pad over it and taped it on with some surgical tape. Day 3 I was terrified and thought what have I done?! ?! ?! My mole had swelled up twice the size and was a milky white color (not pinkish brown like before) and it was very tender to touch and to even walk because of the placement of my mole. I had seriously thought about quitting and try to heal my mole back to normal. I didn't quit!! On about day 4 to today (day 9) I let my mole have air time and also I still put Apple Cider Vinegar on it but not as often as before. Today is day 9 and my mole is not tender and twice the size but is now flat and scabbed over. I would recommend depending on where your mole is to put vaseline or chap stick or some sort of barrier around your mole so you don't burn your skin. I made the mistake of shaving my legs and not putting vaseline around my mole and my skin is very burned right now and I'm trying to heal that up as that does hurt lol. Also it does sting some with putting the Apple Cider Vinegar on the mole and make sure to squeeze the cotton ball so the Apple Cider Vinegar isn't dripping. So far I am very pleased with the results and I will update as soon as anything else happens! :)

Ok guys I'm back with an update! After my mole was scabbed over on day 9 I decided to still put the Apple Cider Vinegar on it well I think this delayed the process of the scab falling of because my mole then turned back into a white milky color. So I stopped putting the Apple Cider Vinegar on it and my mole scabbed back over and on day 12 I removed the bandaid (even when I didn't apply the Apple Cider Vinegar I had to have a band aid over my mole because of the placement) and the scab came off with it!! I was happy to see that but it didn't remove my whole mole. I don't know if that because of the size of my mole or what. It's very flat with just a little bit of the mole left. So I am putting Apple Cider Vinegar of it and going to try to remove the rest. This time I will be sure to not burn the surronding skin. I am still very pleased with the results so far and I will update when something else happens! :)

Okay guys back with another update :) Day 17 and the rest of the mole that was left scabbed over and today the scab fell off!! I don't have a crater as some people described but it's just white skin where the mole was. It's a little tender but not much so now I am going to heal that mark and heal the surronding area that is still burnt from the ACV. I am so happy and pleased with my results. I would highly recommend to do this, I would just say be patient and don't give up. I will update if my mole comes back!! :)

I am on day 4 and I'm noticing the same as your story. Its partially a dark but its tender to touch and under it is white around/under it. I'm not quite sure what I should do...keep putting the ACV on it, give it a break, or quit all together. Please let me know what you think I should do. How many hours a day/overnight/bandaid time, etc... Please HELP! its on my forehead, so I've been covering with my hair and a bandaid. I just want it gone!

Yeah it should turn white and then black. Once it is black, I would limit it to once a day. I think it depends really on how large the mole is and how long it was there in terms of scarring potential. If it popped up and is fairly new, it shouldn't scar and once it turns black don't pick at it, let it fall off by itself and there shouldn't be a scar. Works well on sunspots too.

Once it is Black (took mine 2 1/2 days I would def. stop the treatment) let it scab and fall off. It takes patience. I got a little scared to leave it on too long. Glad I only left it for 2 1/2 days. By day 4 it is off but chemical burn and dry skin. Going to take more time.

I have the same placement but mine is completely flat but very large in size. I am now just trying this treatment and I'm really hoping it works. I hate having to wear bandaids over it for dance recitals and hate being asked about it.

Is it necesarry to have bandaid over the mole after putting on vinegar?

Replied By Mama To Many (Tennessee) on 11/26/2016

I think it may work faster with the bandaid, but I would try it without if you like. Bandaids can cause damage to skin for some people.
