Day 1 - applied ACV to plaster and put it on mole at night.
Day 2 - woke up in morning slightly smaller
- repeat day 1
Day 3 - mole slightly blistered and I got worried. Pierced mole several times with a clean needle.
Day 4 - scab beginning to form
Day 5 - scab formed
Day 6 - Went to Sauna and sat there for about 30 mins
After this it was very tender and when I went to the shower it just fell off. Looks great just can't wait for scabbed area to heal.
Wish me luck!

Another HUGE change this week are my bowel movements. I am hypothyroid, and normally when I'm eating healthy items such as alot of fruits and veggies, I tend to have a hard time producing a movement, but this week I have been producing at least once, sometimes twice a day, and they are very large healthy movements. I have also lost 4+ lbs which of course I also attribute to eatting better and drinking alot of water. I tend to go on these health kicks alot, for long periods of time, but this is my first time trying the ACV and I have been telling everyone about my dissapearing mole and my movements for 2 days now. I cant wait to wake up each day and see what else is going to change! Loving it, and I will keep yous updated! Thanks, Mom in Phila

I basically just followed the advice given by others on this site. I heated a needle over a flame, GENTLY stabbed the mole a couple times to 'tear' the skin, and liberally rubbed the acv on with a q-tip. I did this three or four times each day, but I never slept with it on my face for reasons noted below. The mole first became hard and dry, then cracked, then very itchy and tingley, then came right off as I was washing my face with regular cleanser as I normally do.
Just a note of warning to anyone who may want to try this: I read the accounts of others who said they rubbed vaseline on the skin surrounding the mole to prevent the acv from buring the skin, and I did not take that seriously enough!!! After the first time I applied the acv, I ended up with lots of tiny burns all over my cheek -it was kind of painful and REALLY ugly! It also cleared up with lots of treatment (I used a combo of glycerin, vitamin E oil, and aloe) in about a week, but it is for this reason I urge you NOT to apply with a cotton ball. That is what I did the first time, and also failed to apply enough vaseline. If even a little of the acv gets on the skin, it will burn, so use a q-tip!
Needless to say, I canceled my appointment with the dermo - my face is now mole-free and looks so much better!

I hope this helps people who like me were so sick of well meaning people saying leave your moles alone there part of you,
they always dont have any.
Please just be careful to only put it on the mole not on your skin. and let the mole really dry out and i would advise you to go into hiding with lots of chocolate and a good book while you are doing it, Good look to you all and thank you so much for Apple cider vinegar, this wonderful site and the internet, please excuse me now as i get on with my life confident with a clear face oh and lovely long nails and shiney hair thats with drinking the acv, i am now taking it in tablet form as it tastes better. xxxx

I too had similar results! I am just thrilled. I looked at this ugly mole on my face (right in the fold around my nose and mouth) for 44 years and in one week, it was GONE! It left a tiny "mole hole" which is healing nicely. My son said "the dermatologist would have charged you $500. to do that!" Of course everyone in my house was skeptical when I first started applying ACV. It really looked like it wasn't going to work. They thought I was crazy for keeping up with it. But then POOF! I couldn't be happier!

I am so happy I stumbled across this site and I'm excited to try some of the remedies for removing moles! The only question I have is regarding the stabbing/piercing of moles. Is this absolutely necessary and how do you know if you've pierced the mole? Does it start to bleed? I don't want to avoid this step if it's necessary, but don't want to go too far and stab my mole and cause it to bleed profusely. Any help would be more than appreciated!!!

Response to James about the stabbing/piercing of moles:
I had a mole at the very lower of my neck for 4 years!, and I read about ACV, i tried to put a little of damp cotton with AVC every time on the area with a thick tape, I even wore high neck shirts while the cotton was there, I changed cotton daily with ACV, I slept with it on. At the 4 day I noticed that my mole shrunk, it was a burning sensation on it, then I started to put castor oil on and the scab went out. Leaving only a pink mark that with the time disapeared, it was wonderfull!! you do not have to stabbed. Since then I tried ACV for my dog irritated skin, for warts perfect. I hope someone can benefit for this.

Thanks for your reply Sandra! Now, I continued with the ACV for about a week and last night two of them fell off in the shower. I was really excited. However, awoke this morning and looked down and was somewhat displeased. Though there is no longer a brown mole there, there is pink skin that still has the raised feel and texture of a mole and is just as noticeable as the mole that was there before.
I figured that I would be getting a pink scar that would be somewhat indented and would apply something to it to reduce the scar appearance. Instead I've got something that feels and looks like a mole, only pink now instead of brown. Is this normal? I'm somewhat disheartened and don't know what to do?
ANY suggestions/responses, would be more than appreciated.

Hi James,
ACV really works on moles. I have removed a bunch of them using this method.
I did have one that refused to go away. And when it did, it came back. I just keep with the treatment so long the surrounding skin was not too sensitive (you have to be gentle and patient).
On the aforementioned "difficult" one, I also made sure I also cleaned it with 3% H2O2 after the mole and spongee and soaked up in ACV repeatedly. I think that may have helped. I also suggest you take ACV internally.
Good luck!

Some lady here said instead of scratching the mole daily she used something used like a nail file to gently scruff it up and then applied the ACV. I did likewise figuring it would scuff more surface area and probably speed up the process. After 5 days of just applying ACV daily and scrubbing it gently every other day, the first two came off today. They were about 3mm and 8mm in size. They turned dark after a couple of days, scabbed over and came off in the bath tonight! Great site, thanks all!

well i've answered my own question about the ACV previously i had asked about wheather i should leave the mole alone or continue with the acv.. i decided to let the root of the mole heal with my skin and then i applied acv all over again with a cotton ball at night for about 4 nights. I quickly found that the remainder of the mole began to diminish. I now have a scar but am using vitamin E to fade the scar a bit. Thank you so much Earth clinic.. i am now a firm believer of this site and recommend it to anyone and everyone for everything.

I have had allot of moles that would come and go to fade in time. This one though would go through cycles of raising I believe from allergies and then flatten. Because of allergies I have what my Gramma called "cradle cap" which is large desposits of skin sometimes in. One was right by this mole on top and I scratched it drawing blood on the day I was going to try the apple cider vinegar. Concerned, I believe God whispered that, "It will only make it work better by getting to the mole".
I used the protocols of a lady on the site. Not liking the idea of scratching a mole with a pin, I remembered I had had an electric pumice stone. I tend to be a bit to rambuncious in over doing and while I felt no pain I apparently sanded off enough mole to cause 2 pin prick size blood drops to form.
I placed a ring around the mole of vaseline to stop skin burning as directed.
With that I put on a pea sized cotton ball soaked with apple cider vinegar (Heinz) and covered it witha a bandaide. It was not what I would term burning, but I could fee the vinegar working. Next morning upon inspection the mole was black already. I was glad to read the feedback as seeing a black mole would not have comforted me not knowing.
I put on acv twice a day and repeated the same cotton ball at night.
On day 2 and 3, I noticed a slight tenderness or soreness in touching the mole with the Qtip. The mole by now was flat, crazed and shrinking in size of area covered.
On day 4 I decided to stop the vaseline as I didn't know if that was stopping the acv from getting to the outer edge of the mole as "tan colored" halo seemed to be appearing as the mole shrank. I think I remember this on top before in a darker pigment, but now it was all around the mole as it shrank.
Day 5, the mole started to flake on the outer edges with more shrinking with alternate itching when I put on the acv, tingling with "burning" and day 6, it was flaking a bit more and feeling like a scab. My intention was to keep using acv until it all fell off.
Day 7, in washing my face, a big chunk came out of the middle, leaving the tan pigment surrounding and a more red skin in the center with 2 small black scabs on top and bottom. I repeated the acv and it tingles and bites.
I did notice it seems some build up of skin by and under the mole.
Day 8, most of the remaining mole has flaked off. There is still a tan pigment darker than the surrounding skin, but the interior is white. I believe the mole is gone.
Day 9, I was motivated to keep with the acv as that tan shadow was upsetting me.
Day 10, the area blackened again and scabbed up. Puss would form under the scab. Tenderness started again.
Day 11, the same soreness, puss some bleeding as the center was open.
Day 12, it appeared even the outer pigment was now "fried", so I stopped using acv and switched to covering it up with coconut oil with beta carotene like they use for popcorn in the theaters.
Day 13, area was healed with the scab drying up.
Day 14 the scab was smaller and flaking in outer pieces.
Day 15, scab was shrunken and flat.
Day 16, scab flaked out with pink skin under it. There is still a shadow tan pigment in the outer skin, but I will leave it as I am thinking the pigment is still in the tissue, but the mole is gone. I would term it healed.
I did not have pink skin nor excessive burning as many had. Perhaps my years in the outdoors had my skin less sensitive. I would though deem this as something which works and much more beneficial than doctors freezing tissue scarring it.
It is an absolutely amazing thing that 16 bandaides, that many pea sized cottonballs and around 36 drops of apple cider vinegar. That is something which has me still shaking my head in disbelief as this sits on a store shelf, costs a few dollars and it worked on a very difficult mole. I will give all glory to God and thank the people who made me aware of this.
One final note. I have tried for a short time some remedies which have not worked in other things. I would like people to remember that some people are allergic to some things even the cures. I have a personal problem with sea salt which so many people swear by as well as things like vitamin C, so that rules out certain things here.
I do plan on utilizing this mole removal method on some other moles in trying the iodine too. God bless you and God bless this site, because it is wonderful to find a food product which does not cost 90 bucks like a doctor's visit. Ted should be commended for linking moles to fungus in the melanin. It is brilliant as the molecular papers I have read on people using maple syrup and baking soda a cure for cancer as the cancer is so greedy it gobbles the sugar and the base baking soda attaches and disrupts the cancer cells being acid, like minature bombs going off. From what I read it was 2 tablespoons baking soda to 1 tablespoon maple syrup heated on the stove to combine them, taken several times a day. That I hope I never have to use, but the mole removal I believe worked on a very stubborn mole.

Hi, i have a mole on my nose on the left side and it is slightly raised. I was worndering if trying the acv would be safe and would work. I guess i was born with it. Its really annoying and im getting teased sometimes. I was wondering if it wouild leave a crater and if it did would it stay like that forever? i really want it gone but i dont want my skin to look much more worse. Any advice?
