Apple Cider Vinegar for Actinic Keratosis

Worked Temporarily

Doctor diagnosed Actinic Keratosis on face. Have tried ACV by applying tissue wetted in ACV on affected areas of face multiple times a day (including overnight), pausing if it gets too sore.

After say 10 days of treatment, the AKs will scab up and fall off. However, they all come back again. Have repeated the ACV treatment after a couple years with same result: the AKs come back again. I feel that, at least in my case, the ACV does not penetrate deep enough, or possibly it is just not effective enough to completely remove what causes the AKs.

I will try eggplant mixed with ACV next time, and perhaps olive oil with tea tree.

You might try the ACV with some DMSO. The DMSO will deliver the ACV deeper and quicker. It actually does that to anything so be careful when using it because if you put anything on it, it will absorb that SS well into your skin, so be careful and definitely read about it first.

Hello. I'm searching for natural ways to treat/cure actinic keratosis. I have a mild case of it on top of my head, but would like to get rid of it. I just very recently started spraying the area twice daily with a 50/50 solution of DMSO/ACV. Thanks.

I saw someone claiming Castor Oil mixed with Baking Soda worked for them in just 2 days. I think you make a paste, then apply it to the spot.
