Apple Cider Vinegar Working on Lipoma

I have a lipoma on my upper arm, which is very noticeable (almost the size of a quarter). I started using ACV, but instead of ingesting it, I applied it directly to the lipoma. I took a cotton ball, which I cut in half and flattened it a bit so it wouldn't be too bulky, and applied ACV directly on it so it was pretty soaked, then placed that on top of the lipoma and secured it with surgical tape, which I found easy to remove later, and also because the tape is wider and on a roll, so you can grab the size you need. In just about 3 days I noticed that the lipoma was shrinking! I was astounded! I did this routine before going to bed, and sometimes I pulled back the tape in the morning to add more ACV to the cotton to keep it moist. It's been about 2 weeks now, and the lipoma is so much smaller. I am so very happy! But one thing - the ACV did burn my skin, I believe, because it caused a small open wound from being on the skin so long. After about a day or two is when it caused a sore and made my skin a little red, but I was so happy with the results, I just accepted it. I did let my skin breathe for about a day or two in between to give it some fresh air, and then I applied it again. So now I keep applying it about every other day, or so, to see if it will eventually go away completely. I can't wait to go back to my doctor so he can measure it again and see that it's gotten smaller! This may not be for everyone, but it sure is working for me!

You can also use castor oil on the lipoma. ACV is very acidic for the skin.

I feel it should have been said from the beginning. It must have the MOTHER. So the correct bottle will say Apple cider vinegar WITH the Mother.
