Yeah it should turn white and then black. Once it is black, I would limit it to once a day. I think it depends really on how large the mole is and how long it was there in terms of scarring potential. If it popped up and is fairly new, it shouldn't scar and once it turns black don't pick at it, let it fall off by itself and there shouldn't be a scar. Works well on sunspots too.

Hello everyone. I just went through treating mole removal using Apple Cider Vinegar. I started my treatment on 3/22/15, used a cotton ball saturated with ACV. I applied this daily for 3 days, it flattened out, turned black, scabbed over, the scab has come off now 3/28/15. I also used an emery board to rough it up but did make the mistake of accidentally burning my skin surrounding the mole. I am currently treating this with bacitrin and Mederma. Has anyone had their moles return after removal? Good luck to everyone who may be contemplating on trying this, you won't be disappointed. I wish I would have known about this so many years ago, this is amazing!

I used Vitamin E Oil around the Mole, apple cider Vinegar only applied to the Pea sized black Mole and to the bandaid, only applying it with a Q-tip to the area where the bandaid will be touching the mole. In about a week it was scabbed over and gone. I only had a wee bit of burning on the mole and found out that I'm allergic to the tape on the bandaids. Pretty much all healed up know with a minimal scar, which I am sure will also be gone by summer.

I've also removed a mole on my head, cheek and stomach. After 3-4 days of dabbing Apple Cider Vinegar it turned into a scab and fell off a week later. Now what's left is a pink mark and I was wondering how long it takes before fading back to my skin color?
Is anyone using any creams, oils, ointments to speed up the healing process? Thanks!

Apple Cider Vinegar for Moles:
I did this for a small clear mole on the bridge of my nose. Worked perfectly with no burning, but I used vaseline around it. I'm trying it now with a larger, skin toned mole in the crease of my nose. This one is taking longer, on day two and still not crusting up. It's starting to get a little dry but that's it. Since this one is larger and clearly has a root, I think it will take longer.

Desiree, how is your mole doing now? Mine is in the same situation as yours was back in June. I'm on day 4 now, and I burned the skin around the mole. Now the whole thing is one big scab on two moles located on the left side of my face. I know that they will heal eventually, I had a huge scar on my forehead back in 2013. I actually used my own urine (I've heard urine has properties that heal scars better than almost anything), and now, the huge red scar is completely gone. I thought it would leave me scarred for life, but one year later, and you can't even see it up close.
Just wondering if your mole is gone completely?

I tried this once before with the ACV for a few days with no results. Tried again a few days ago and its finally scabbing up like its supposed to. What I did differently: roughed up the skin with an emory board (didn't do that last time), used Bragg's AVC (used the generic stuff last time). My moles are pretty large and raised up so its taking a little longer but it is finally working.

The ACV mole removal treatment really does work. I have started going bald so I decided to shave my head. When I did I observed that I had a huge, ugly, fleshy colored mole on the back of my head. I always knew it was there but you couldn't see it before since it was covered by hair. It was so ugly people actually commented on it and I felt pretty self conscious about it. I was always wearing a hat around to hide the foul looking thing. Plus it made shaving my head very difficult.
I began making inquiries and a doctor told me that it would have to be cut out and would require stitches since it was so big and was "quite deep" according to him. It was around this time that I discovered the ACV mole treatment from this website and I decided to give it a shot.
I used the organic ACV with the mother and every night, I roughed up the ugly mole; with a sterilized needle initially, and later, as it began to get smaller and flatter, with an emery board. I would then place a piece of a cotton make up pad soaked in ACV right on the mole, cover it with plaster and sleep with it on. I would take it off during the day to let the air get to it.
Within days it was scabbing but because it was so big, it kind of came of in pieces and all up, it took around three weeks before the disgusting thing was gone. It left a faint, pinkish scar but that is fading over time. It's pretty much unnoticeable now.
I have since used the treatment on small moles and they are usually done for in around four days.
This is a great remedy that really does work. It is cheap, easy and non-invasive. Thank you so much earth clinic!
Adam.

Yes, it works marvelously. I had a dark brown mole on my forehead about the size of half a grain of sea salt, that I had since I was a little kid. I was always insecure about it and wore my fringe down to cover it. I decided to try the ACV cure. It worked amazingly! The only scarring was just a slight mark that was completely gone after 6 weeks or so (it was only visible really up close). I have dark skin, so the mark would probably go away even quicker for someone with pale skin. And now, you can't even tell there used to be anything there!
Here's how I did it: I took a sewing needle (sterilized by swabbing it with rubbing alcohol) and gently scraped the surface of then mole - the instructions I read described it as "roughing it up". Then, I soaked a cotton tipped swab in the ACV and rubbed firmly on the mole for about three minutes. It stung a little bit but not bad enough to hurt. Then I soaked a piece of cotton pad in the ACV and placed it on the mole, securing it with first aid tape. Then I went to sleep with it on. When I woke up, I removed it and once again rubbed it with the soaked swab. It just began disintegrating away! It was amazing! There was a little tiny "piece" of the mole still left, so I repeated the process on it and left it on for a couple hours. After that it was completely gone. Of course there was a little wound, and that's normal because you're removing the skin and the root of the mole, but it really wasn't bad at all. I didn't even need to cover it. I just wore my hair down as usual until it wasn't visible anymore. You seriously can't tell anything was ever there. Try it!

I just experimented on my face the apple cider vinegar technique. In the last couple years I have developed a lot of new moles and sun spots on my body. one has developed on my face . It actually looked like a freckle for the longest time before it started to raise. I put apple cider vinegar on it. I took gauze tape and cut a hole about the size of the mole and maybe a tiny bit smaller, (so the Apple Cider Vinegar would not damage my skin). Side note: did not think about this the first night and burned the skin around the mole but I started noticing it come off after the first application. After all of the mole was off, it looked as if maybe I had a big pimple that I had been picking at. It wasn't pretty or easy to cover with concealer. But I also believe it's all about the recovery.
Did some research, took a couple things from dr Christopher's website on skin healing and abrasions. It recommended the bone and tissue formula for healing the skin tissue as well as the bone and tissue salve. I didn't want to buy the salve online so I took some from the capsules, added it to a little olive oil and used that topically. I would leave that on for a couple hours, rinse it off, then put calendula gel on it for overnight. Every morning, I took a collagen supplement with a vitamin c. The area is almost healed and you would never have known there was a mole there. But like I said it's all about the recovery. It might seem like a lot but I was a little frightened after the first night and permanent scarring so I don't want to take any chances with it looking worse than before. FYI, went to the dermatologist and he said he would not be able to remove if and if he did the scarring would be worse than the mole, and also told me collagen supplements would be useless. I work in the natural health and food industry and I proved everything wrong that he had told me, not to mention saving a lot of money instead of going to a plastic surgeon. Hope this helps. Complete success on my end!!!

I tried Apple Cider Vinegar on a fairly large mole I had on my chest and within about a week it was much reduced and two weeks later, it is completely gone! The dermatologist said it would leave a scar to remove. Absolutely no scar using the Apple Cider Vinegar and saved me tons of money. I didn't even use the good Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother because I just didn't happen to have any and it still worked. I don't know if it will come back so will just wait and see.
