Apple Cider Vinegar mole removal:

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!

The ACV mole removal treatment worked great. I used a small cotton ball with medical tape before I went to bed each night and removed it each morning. After 4 days I was removing the medical tape and the mole just fell off. Thanks much for the info here.

I had a black mole on the top of my left breast for quite some time and I really didn't like it. I came across this site and decided to give the Apple Cider Vinegar remedy a try. Like some other users suggested, I used a nail file to file down the mole some. I soaked a small piece of cotton in the ACV then put it over the mole which I held in place with a band-aid. I would leave it on overnight. At first the mole got flatter. After a few days it seemed like the mole was kind of wiggly but it was still flattened into my skin. The area around the mole was a bit pinkish in color and I wondered if the ACV was burning the surrounding skin so instead of bandaging the ACV soaked piece of cotton, I began using a q-tip to dab the acv on. After about a week some clear fluid began seeping out from around the mole. I was beginning to regret even trying it. I read one other user who had a similar experience. I begin cleaning it out with hydrogen peroxide to clean out any germs. I also began applying Neosporin ointment to it. On about the 7th day the top black part of the mole came off but it left a very pink and flesh colored open sore. It wasn't huge but I still did not like it. I was glad the mole was gone but then I was left to treat an open sore which I believe was caused by using the ACV too long. I cleaned the wound with hydrogen peroxide a few times a day and alternated between applying Neosporin ointment and the oil from a vitamin E capsule. After another week the wound healed but now I have a small round scar where the mole was and a small area surrounding the scar is a little browner than my normal complexion. So while the ACV did work on my mole, unfortunately it left me with a scar in an area where I would rather have just left the mole. I'm currently using Scar Zone cream on the scar in hopes that it will fade. It only took a week to remove the mole, another week for the wound to heal, and now it's been over a month since I've been treating the scar. I would recommend that you only tape the small piece of cotton ball soaked in ACV to your mole for the first couple of days. After that just dab the mole with a q-tip that has been dipped in ACV. Once the mole gets flat, if you continue taping the ACV cotton ball on it, it may leave a crater like sore in your skin. Overall ACV did remove the mole so I guess it did what it was supposed to do.

Just wondering, I just started to try this method out myself and I want to know if this also works on flat moles. Because a lot of people talk about it getting rid of their moles, but I don't know if this works on flat moles. Please respond.

I'm not even sure where to start. Today is my 6th day taking ACV (_____s organic). I'm taking 2 tsp along with 1 tsp pure natural honey mixed in apx 2 ounces of water, 3x a day ( before each meal.) Apx 2 years ago I developed a white mole directly under my eye, hated it and always planned on finding out about getting it removed. On day 4 of taking the ACV, I had gotten out of the pool and was rubbing my eye and noticed I couldn't feel the mole. I went to the mirror to look and could barely see it. Today is day 6 and it's almost gone! I have another dark mole on my arm that is also changing!

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

After a recent derm. appt.; where they offered to remove a two moles for a "mere" $150, I came home and found this website. Being the forever skeptic, I thought it sounded too good to be true; went ahead and gave it a try anyhow. And...it worked. Seriously, to my fellow disbelievers...it really works. I tried one in a inconspicuous place first by soaking a small piece of cotton in acv then covering with medical tape. After a couple of days it looked blistery and parts of it were dark, then it gradually hardened, scabbed and fell off, leaving a slightly pink circle. I've since taken another one off my chest in similar fashion and am proceeding to a couple on my neck. Give it a try. We could all save some cash right now.

Great results from ACV mole removal remedy!! I had a dark brown mole on my cheek near my jawbone since birth. It used to be flat on my skin, and over the past few years had grown into a pea-sized proportion. I had an appointment with a dermatologist to have it removed when I came across this website. I began the apple cider vinegar thing on a Sunday night, and by the following Sunday afternoon the mole was gone!! Here's what I did:

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!

Tried ACV on a mole, forearm area, that had been disturbed by some tattooing over it. It increased in size shortly afterwards leaving me bummed out and concerned as well. Used ACV on it for about the whole first day and a little on the second. Mole shrunk rather quickly leaving a black flat area. Applied lotion with aloe for a few days later and the scab came off exposing a small indentation where the underside of the mole had been. Luckily my tattoo was red so the discoloration somewhat matches it. Thanks for my newfound piece of mind.

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!

Hi Emily, I'm glad to hear that the remedy is working for you, but can you go into detail as to the steps involved? I just started mine today. I ate the fresh garlic and used the acv on my veggies as a dressing. Thanks.

After putting up with a very ugly mole on my cheek for 40 years of my life, I gave the apple cider vinegar thing a go I had a week booked of work so on the Friday night i heated up a sewing needle over a flame to make sure it was clean, i cleaned my ugly thing then stabbed it gently like the other people have suggested, then soaked at qtip in acv put it onto my ugly thing and held it it place with a plaster.taking off the plaster in the morning , i did this for two nights and somtimes during the day i just dabbed on a little.I also drank a table spoon of it three times a day, it tastes terrible so have a drink near by, but i thought why not treat my self from inside out as well,i did this for a week. on the 3rd day my mole had a blister over it then on the forth it started to go realy scabby and looked terrible i started to wish i had,nt done it by the fifth day it started to get itchy.I was very worried by this time because i was due back to work on the monday and i it looked horrible.I need not have worried because on the 6th day when i was bathing it, the whole scab came of leaving a small pink hole,I was so happy i cried, I have been using e45 cream since then and its almost clear on my cheek, people keep saying there is somthing different about you then they realise what is missing,
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 actually discovered this site by looking for a natural method for mole removel. When I read the articles here about ACV I had to give it a try. I had one mole on my leg that had changed it's texture so that it was sort of hard now. It had changed color to tan and brown, not a good sign.
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!

Some background. This mole appeared about 5 years ago on my hairline at the temple. I tried esiac tea grounds on it as I had read that worked, but it might have only arrested it's expansion. It had a very dark brown color almost black, was irregular, in the 3/8 inch to half inch size and like most moles scared a person in all the scare tactics the medical community publish.

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.

I tried this remedy and it really worked. I soaked some cotton in it and placed it on my mole fixed with a band-aid. I changed the cotton twice a day and in three days the mole simply peeled off like a scab. I was very surprised that it work, because I've tried several other remedies and non have worked for me but this one. I am very pleased with the results and am confident that it will work for you to. Give it a shot.

I had a good size mole in the middle of my back, I would soak a piece of gauze in the ACV and put it directly on the mole, would cover it up with duct tape. Took about 2 weeks and the wart is gone, turned green and I peeled it off.

My mom told me about it, I tried it on warts and skin tags, put it on a piece of cotton ball and soak it with ACV and put a band aid on it over night, refresh it in the morning and it will turn it dark. Give it a couple of days and it will disapear. Believe it or not.
