Apple Cider Vinegar for Mole Removal

I have continued for about 10 years now and it's strange... it only targets one mole at a time. There have been about 5-6, maybe more, over the years. The process is always the same or similar. I don't freak out now, I count myself fortunate because I feel that these are/were the ones developing (or having) cancer. All matched the usual criteria for cancer - odd shaped, dark or partially black. I don't think the amount of ACV is as important as being consistent in drinking the ACV/water. I usually just toss a couple of big splashes into my large water bottle. I can tell you that if I stopped the ACV/water at any point in the process of it targeting a mole, the process also stopped.

A few times I was traveling and just found it too hard to continue during the trip. But when I returned and started the ACV again, then the process completed. I have been astounded. I wasn't taking the ACV for the moles. I had no idea it would solve this. I fell that our body can heal itself if we give it what it needs. I think the ACV used topically is probably similar in it's mechanism, but I do like the idea that my body is possibly taking the ACV tools I'm giving it to decide what needs to be addressed/healed. Maybe drinking it (as opposed to using topically) keeps other, more obscure, cancers in check, not just the ones I can see.

I finally had enough and decided to try ACV. I take ACV daily in the morning for my immune system and thought .. why not? I made sure to "rough" up my mole (very important! ) and was amazed I could feel the "sting" from the ACV soaked cotton ball working...so quickly! I slept with it overnight and used vaseline around the edges.

The second day the mole looked a little larger and paler than the usual black tone. This made me nervous but I continued to freshen up the cotton ball that I used to my chin and even used a q tip in between to press on it.

The third day the mole started to scab everywhere but the edges so I continued another day and night focusing on the edges. The fourth day I couldn't believe my eyes...the mole was now a shrunken scab! It was so hard to not pick at it but I made sure to keep my hands away. So so hard!

Finally the fifth day that poor sucker was hanging by a thread and I pulled it after my shower. The skin was pink and had a slight discoloration around where the mole was. I'm thinking the vaseline around the edge of the mole helped but not as much as a bandaid surrounding the area would have as other users stated. I would hate to think what it would look like if it didn't have any protection from the ACV, my skin was a little pink.

I am now on day 2 of healing, using those small round band aids and aquaphor to keep it moist. I have heard that "needing air" for wounds to heal is just an old wives tale and the important part of the healing process is NOT to let it scab since the scab will be the cause of a scar. I have told many people at work who think I'm super granola for what I did and they are in shock of how amazing it looks already. I would definitely recommend spending the money to have someone make sure the mole is not cancerous before doing this. It really is amazing how we can "take care" of our bodies with mother nature. This is truly amazing!

Well, let me tell you....It only took two weeks for the mole to completely come off. I did same procedure, but this time soaking a small piece of cotton and putting a bandaid to cover the cotton and leaving it over night. It has been a year and the mole has not returned. Apple Cider Vinegar is amazing and so is this site. God bless whoever came up with the idea of creating this site and all the individuals who have shared their experiences. I am grateful for all of you!

First rough up the mole so the ACV soaks in better. I've also used a sterile needle to scratch the surface. Then, use a Q-tip to lightly coat Vaseline over a quarter-sized area immediately around the mole but not on the mole. I know people reference using a cotton ball, but I think that's too big and messy. Instead, I cut round circles from a woman's sanitary napkin and soak them in the ACV. While it's soaking use another Q-tip to dap the mole with ACV, to give it a headstart.

I've found that band aids don't stick well and the juice runs out, so instead use white athletic tape. Rip a square, put the soaked ACV pad on it, then tape it to the skin pressing down all sides. Try not to squeeze the juice out of the pad. Repeat morning and night. After a day or two, it will turn color a little, because you're killing it. Use a sanitized needle to poke thru the mole so the ACV can get in and under it, since it starts to harden and scab up. I think the white tape helps smother it too and the ACV is more effective. The tape will probably irritate the surrounding skin a little, but that will go away when you're done. The key is to continue the assault uninterrupted. After about 5 days, you will be so proud of yourself when the thing just lets go and falls off like a scab. I've continued for another day or two if there's some that hasn't let go yet. As for scarring - I haven't noticed much. The skin will be new and pink and will take awhile, possibly months to fully blend with the rest of your skin, but who cares - you just got rid of something that's bothered you for so long. Doctors that say it doesn't work just don't know what they're talking about and Try it themselves.

I had a rather large, raised mole on my chin (been there since birth and steadily growing for 40 years). I applied apple cider vinegar to a small piece of cotton ball, secured with a bandaid and left on overnight -- I did this for a few days. The mole went red, then very dark black within a matter of days. I stopped doing the treatment overnight because my healthy skin around the mole became quite red and irritated. I can't quite remember the exact timing, but it was about a week when I was able to pick the mole off my chin. There was an open wound there for awhile. Then it healed over.

A piece of the mole was still there, I noticed, after some time, and it was starting to grow back, so I did the treatment again. This time, however, I gently roughened up the area with some sharp tweezers, to allow the vinegar to soak in better. I think this did help. And I only applied the apple cider vinegar with a Q-tip and/or a small piece of cotton ball, holding it in place for about an hour a night, rather than leaving the treatment on overnight. I did this for a few days and the remaining piece of mole withered up and died, too. Turned black, then into a scab, and then an open wound which healed up after a few days/a week.

Now I have smooth skin where the mole used to be, although there is still a bit of a discolouration / scar. However, I'd way rather have a bit of discolouration on my chin than the big unsightly mole. I think the discolouration may fade over time, but if it doesn't I don't care, as it's easily covered with a touch of makeup or just left alone, it looks fine.

For people doing this treatment, it does work, but I would NOT recommend leaving the apple cider vinegar on overnight with the bandaid, even if you do try to protect the skin around the mole -- the vinegar is very strong and it will burn your skin. It's not necessary to stay on that long -- Just spot-apply it with a Q-tip or small piece of cotton ball, and let it soak for an hour or two each day, for 2 - 3 days. If I ever do this treatment again that's what I'll do. Then the surrounding skin isn't irritated/burned, as that experience is quite painful and disconcerting.

This is a very cool treatment and I just wanted to let others know that it works, quite amazing!

What can I do to reverse that darkening?

It worked! My experience was NOT straight-forward, but it did work.

First thing of note: the mole was checked by the doc prior to trying this and it was benign.It was on my right breast and was slightly raised but also deep in the skin. Dark-ish brown. I figured this wouldn't work in one shot because it's raised, deep, and I have pale white/sensitive skin. In all in took 9 days. Mine NEVER turned black, which freaked me out because that's what most people seem to experience. Mine turned green and brown and green-yellow and brown, which freaked me out even more. But remember, this isn't magic (even though this ugly mole was disappearing before my eyes). It's science. Be smart about your applications and responding to your unique situation and you should get rid of it.I have sensitive skin and it seems to me that leaving it on over night is not the best way to go because ACV is irritating. Even when I surrounded the mole with shea/coco butter, it still felt/looked irritated.

Day 1: I started on Saturday night. Light use of emory board. I did about 3 swishes, slow and light, back and forth, and up and down because I was scared I might feel it scrape. I didn't but I did see slight slight skin flakes. Bandaid and a piece of cotton dipped in ACV overnight.I woke up the next morning and part of it, the center/top, had turned almost a light green but I still saw the ring of the mole normal brown color around the green.

Day 2: Same thing as the first except that I didn't use the emory board. Resulted in no visible change to the mole or the green on the mole.

Day 3: Cleaned it and poked it with a needle twice (where it hadn't turned green). Bandaid and cotton-soaked ACV for 1 hour AM/PM.That night, the green turned brown and the brown covered -almost- the entire mole but the mole was still raised the way it was before I started treating it. Still saw a slight bit of mole around the edges.

Day 4: That morning, the brown was slightly darker and the edges were now covered to the skin line. Cleaned it, slight poking to penetrate the brown, and bandaid/cotton/ACV for an hour. My skin was slightly irritated around the edges of the mole but it looked possibly flatter. I showered again that night and did the same treatment for an hour.

Day 5: I woke up without any visible differences but the brown felt harder--closer to a scab--but still unsure if it was in fact a scab. Roughed it up a bit with a tooth pick to see if I could feel anything below the brown (I couldn't). Bandaid/cotton/ACV for 1 hour. Checked it. The brown had turned back to green and it was mushy. Like a very light green. It looked like how a scab looks when you let it soak. I washed it with anti-bacterial soap and let it breath all day. It dried to a light brown, had a white circle around the edge, AND IT WAS FLAT.

Day 6: Cleaned it with anti-bacterial soap again. Gently. It was gross! Again, green and mushy in the shower. This is where I started to get nervous. I felt like maybe it was infected or maybe it was really working- I couldn't tell! I decided to put a q-tip soaked in ACV on it for 5 minutes AM/PM. It was now 100% completely flat when the scab dried out. The scab was thick and dark brown, and the skin around it looked aggravated. But I couldn't tell if the scab was just a top layer and there was mole underneath or if the mole had been replaced by scab now.---That night I read that coconut oil is antimicrobial (helps eat away at moles) and antibacterial (helps eat away at infection). It also is soothing for the skin.

Day 7-9: Kept the mole-scab soaked in Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. I never heated it. Just rubbed it into the skin, into the scab gently, and around the entire area. Then I put a chunk of the coconut oil under some gauze and soaked the mole-scab constantly. It felt amazing. I also read that the oil would help the scab heal more quickly and with less of a scar.

End of Day 9, the area is WITHOUT a mole, scab, or scar. It's just pinker than the surrounding skin, but not inflamed and red or anything.AMAZING! Life-changer. Can't wait to show the doc :D

Good luck!

I treated the scab with Lavender/Tea Tree essential oils throughout the day to aid in the healing process and to avoid scars, which worked well. I have since treated several moles with the same success.

a friend of mine had Basal Cell Skin cancer on the side of his lip and he applied a cream called "Black Salve" (ingredients: Red Clover, Bloodroot, Galangal, Sheep Sorrel) on top of the fairly large half Dollar size sore.

It was painful, but after 10 days the whole thing fell off and out and the clean hole filled up and was hardly noticeable after a few months.

Regular Doctors had wanted to remove almost a third of his face, that is when he tried this salve.

10 years ago one could buy this salve very reasonable at CanX Products, Nevada, tel: 1-800-996-3203
