Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda and Coconut Oil for BCC

I've had a BCC on my head for several years now, in the form of a crater that bleeds and scabs, over and over again, and I've been trying to cure it with ACV and baking soda mixed with coconut oil, for 4 months now, to no avail at all. I've been doing the ACV applications daily, with organic ACV on a cotton ball, for several hours at a time. Same with the baking soda and coconut oil - I've done a mixture of them in a form of a thick paste, and been applying it to the BCC for several hours daily. But none of these treatments seem to help, and the BCC is still there.

Yuri, try petty spurge (1 dab of fresh latex over 3 days) or fresh ground eggplant mixed with apple cider vinegar (you can apply several times a day, it will take a while). The spurge works fast, in a couple of weeks.

Vera, thanks for the advice, will try this. The challenge will be finding the spurge and its fresh sap though.

You might try lugol's iodine, instead.

Perhaps 2 or 5% applied directly with a spray bottle. Betadine may be effective.

Perhaps apply fresh aloe vera gel afterward.

Just a guess.

Someone had lab-confirmed bcc that was responding to iodine, but he opted for surgery anyway.

He, too, found the ACV ineffective.

Thanks Happy Camper, will try this, too! Lugoil's iodine is easy to find, thankfully.

Hi. Do you have any photos of your lesion? I'm wondering if it is similar to my lesion. I am using topical vitamin c. It is shrinking. Also I have rotated with 35% Hydrogen Peroxide. Both seem to be working but it is taking weeks.
