After reading the many testimonies of how the application of ACV on moles removes them I decided to try it. I followed the directions as follows. Before going to bed for the night I put ACV on a little piece of cotton, put it over the mole, and then put a bandage over it to hold it in place. I did this several nights in a row. My understanding is that the mole(s) will shrink, may darken, and eventually fall off within a week or so. Well, not the case with me. Yes, my mole did flatten down, but instead of the mole falling off it has buried itself so deep into my skin that once the mole / scab-like formation came off it left a pit in my skin that looks like a cigarette burn only smaller in dimension as the moles that I treated were smaller than the dimension of a cigarette. It also left the surrounding skin burnt looking and very red. One of the moles that I treated with the ACV was about the size of a pinhead, however the pitted scar that I now have is 5mm in diameter. My regret is that I treated all three of the moles I had at the same time instead of testing it with just one. Unfortunately, two of them are in places that are visible at all times (on my neck and the other on my face). I would NEVER suggested anyone doing this unless they would rather have a deep pit in their skin and larger in diameter than the mole they have right now.

I had a raised mole and one on my tummy that just did not look healthy. I have not been a big fan of doctors,(sorry all you doctors out there you are good to have around if one needs) but did not feel I needed one for this and what I have heard did not sound to appealing. Thought it got to be a better way. And then a came across this website just down my ally. So I read about the ACV could remove moles so I tried it. Took a little bit of cotton soaked it ACV and put a band aid over the moles. Did this twice a day, and within a week I would say it dried up turned black and fell off under was new pink skin. AMAZING! What else can you say!!

I applied ACV to my mole for a couple of days. It shrink in size and seem to be working . Today I noticed that its scabbed and picked at it. On impulse I peeled it, revealing a dark spot underneath that looks it was going to turn into a mole or that this method didn't remove my mole successfully. I was very disappointed.

Apple Cider Vinegar (remedy): This thing did NOT work. I used it on a mole and it came off... yea... and it CAME BACK!!! The only thing worse than having a mole is removing it, having everyone say things like, "remember that ugly mole," and than have it COME BACK!!! I need this thing gone!!! I'm young still, so I'm not open to many resources. When I found this stuff in the cabinet I was jumping for joy. I applied it like crazy, peeled of the mole, and it CAME BACK. Well, I have to be fair, it's not exactly "Back" yet, but it left a same-size dark red mark that looks like its turning back into the mole. Please guys, this really means a lot to me. Other than this mole, I look really good. I LOVED my few weeks without it. All the girls were hitting on me and more people were hanging out with me. And now this? Come on seriously... please someone E-mail me with the solution to my problems... Sincerely, unlucky

I have been on the ACV diet for a month and a half.i have lost some weight. I also have had warts on both hands for about 3 years, and a mole on my arm. Both have totally disappeared!

Apple cider vinegar cured my diarrhea caused by milk and other foods. I switched to Lactose Free Milk while taking ACV and eventually the diarrhea was gone. I continued to take ACV 3x/day (2 tsp in 8 oz of water before each meal) for 2 months when I decided to see if drinking regular skim milk (as I used to) would cause the diarrhea again. To my surprise, I no longer get diarrhea to any foods, not even to milk. So thank you God for ACV. Another good effect I had as a result of taking ACV is the disappearance of a couple of moles.

(Apple Cider Vinegar & Garlic, Alternating)' I'm new to this whole home remedy thing and was overjoyed when I immediately got results. I'm 13 years old with fair skin and am suffering from a small mole on my face. My family doesnt have all the money in the world and when the dermetologist said I would have to have plastic surgery to get it removed (and the price was a good $500-$600 bucks) I thought my mole would be with me forver. I've been on the Apple Cider Vinegar/Garlic (I alternate) for only a day but immediately I've noticed a difference. For one, the color (light brown) of the mole has nearly disappeared and the vinegar seems to be eating away at it. I was so exciting, if that happens in only a day what'll happen in a week? <3 I feel like theres finally hope to get this awful thing off my face. But if you're going to try this remedy be sure not to get it on any skin surrounding it or it will be red and swell. Other than that this has worked great! Thanks so much and for all you reading this. goodluck!

hi, I just bought some 'double strength 8 % acidity' ACV ( organic, with the mother) Is the double strength ok to drink? Do you only use half the amount you usually would? Do you add double the baking soda or double the water? Also, would all unpasturized organic acv have the mother, or should you look for the ones that say 'contains the mother'? would it be ok to use non organic acv as general toner on face and body? as I can't afford to do this with the organic stuff. Also : feedback- mole cure I used 'normal strength' acv for about 4 days on a mole, the mole turned into a scab and I forcably (gently) peeled it off The mole is gone, but (a small) scab formed where it was-I only did it less than a week ago, It is healing well, but looks like it may scar alittle, would letting the mole fall of by itself mabey stop it from scarring, or if you didnt peel it off would it re-attatch itself?
p.s. I got a bit of a rash from the band aid- switched to medical tape ( on a role) which is much better for my sensitive skin-I also stuck it to the back of my hand first-to absorb some of the glue. This is my favorite site online thanx -sorry for rambling on & on

I have very fair skin and have been plagued with moles most of my life. I have them all over my face and the rest of my body. The cost for getting them surgically removed is ridiculous and I decided to search the internet for 'home cures. I tried ACV on a mole on my side and after about 4 days, it scabbed over and fell off. The only bad thing is that the ACV dripped off of the cotton ball and onto healthy skin, causing a reaction. I've started using the small, round band-aids and they are easier for spot treatment. All that is left of the mole on my side is a pink circle that will probably go away soon. I'm treating 5 more now. The 2 on my chest fell off after 3 days and I'm now trying one on my face (yikes!). I can't wait for them all to heal! Thanks!

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.

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.
