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.

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!

Danny, To remove moles, did you dab ACV undiluted or diluted with water? Also, was it an organic, virgin ACV, with the "mother, " as they say? Thanks, Larry

The brand I used is Allen's Pure Apple Cider Vinegar.

so I guess it's pure Apple Cider Vinegar lol. Works well but hoping the healing process can move quicker

As you said that it came out in pieces. Does that mean the top part dried up and came off, then the lower part and so on?
As I am doing the same for one on my face, it's quite big too, so just the top part dried up and came off and the lower part became kind of light in color but is only dried up from the middle. So did it happen like this with you?

Hi there. If you keep the skin well hydrated with a healing oil like jojoba, goji, castor oil and even olive oil - this will help increase cellular turnover, which in turn will speed up healing. There'll be rather a lot of action at the wound site for months yet below the surface, so keep dabbing on the healing oil of your choice several times a day, and you will notice positive changes within a few weeks.

I started using the ACV treatment method to a fairly large mole on my face after reading all the positive things about it, plus I have nothing to lose if it doesn't. My mole is raised and near the corner of my mouth. It's about the size of the end of a cotton bud (Q tip) so fairly large and extremely annoying. I'm now on day 3 and it has black patches on it, some that's heading towards black and some that still needs working on, it does now seem to have shrunk a little bit which was starting to worry me as it had been swollen. I'm currently doing the over night cotton ball taped to it with breathable surgical tape and working a cotton bud around 3 times during the day so it can air, I believe the air is actually helping. I also use vaseline right around the skin which is protecting it so far. Has anyone else experienced this with their mole? I'm guessing that it's not turned entirely black as the mole isn't able to be constantly covered during the night due to the shape. Does it need to go all black?

I shall carry on as it's feeling very crisp. The look of it doesn't worry me to much as I have had this sucker for 36 years so am used to people looking. I think my expectations have lengthened regarding how long it will take too so I'm not feeling so worried about its progress.....at least it is progressing! :)

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

I started using ACV to rid my face of a mole 3 days ago. I did use Vaseline around the area but I was very aggressive with the treatment since I'm going out of town next week. I kept a cotton ball soaked in ACV for pretty much a night and most of the next day. I really wanted this gone within 10 days, or at least gone enough that make up could cover. I have some pretty bad burns around where the mole was. The 'mole' is now very, very small and dark black so I think it worked on that, but my poor face around it :( I put aloe on it last night and I do believe it's helped. Is there anything else I can do to possibly speed up the healing of the burn? I think I'm more concerned about that getting better by next week than what's left of my mole. I do have sensitive skin I suppose...darn fair skin that comes with the red hair!

Use more the gel from an aloe plant; or rub in any of theses: olive oil, arnica cream, pomegranate oil, onion juice (or scar cream from the dollar store, made from onion), rose water, orange water.

ACV worked in getting rid of my moles, but there were scars from the scabbing process. I read reviews that aloe gel works in healing scars from moles.

I tried aloe plant to treat the scar, but not the scar from my mole, I tried it on my hand instead, and it stings.. the aloe.. so I washed it away because obviously it was not working. the next day I woke up with allergic reactions on my hand from the aloe.

I looked for products that are actually clinically tested, and there's this one gel, dermatix silicone gel, it definitely worked.. in about 2 weeks the scars are almost unnoticeable.

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 need help A.S.A.P. So this is my second day using avc and my mole is super black and the skin around it is really red. The mole flattened out and became black but hasn't scabbed over yet. Should I be patient for the scabbing over? because I haven't seen any yet! And I'm afraid to use more because of the burning around my mole! PLEASE HELP! I'm afraid I ruined my face :''''(

Dear Ashley,

If it were me, I would try coconut oil or castor oil on the mole and surrounding skin. Either (or both) should be soothing to the skin that is burned. Both have been reported to work on moles, it appears to take longer than the ACV. You could continue the ACV if you want, but be sure to put coconut oil or something on the skin around the mole before using the vinegar, to protect it. You might read the posts under moles where people used castor or coconut oil.

If you use the coconut oil, do use the cold pressed extra virgin stuff that smells like coconut. I think other processing will take out the things in it that are helpful.

Let us know how it goes!

Vanessa,

I am thrilled to hear about someone else using the ACV on a larger mole. Mine is about the size of a nickle, raised, and on by face by the hairline. I've had it forever and when I went to a dermatologist for removal, he said it was not cancerous, that he had to check all my skin since I have generations of skin cancer in the family, and then he said he wouldn't remove it. I needed to make a second appointment and pay cash since insurance would not cover the removal. Needless to say, I didn't go back. So, tonight I am trying the ACV. Was going to try the iodine until I read all the positive ACV results. Will let you know how it goes if I can find my way back to this site. :)

So it's been 2 weeks since I've been doing this remedy and Im happy to announce that it's gooonee! OMG I can't belive it that nasty looking mole on my bottom is gone!!! I've had it since birth and now we went our seperate ways for good! :) Im only left with a red patch but it's healing I've been using Tea Tree Oil to reduce the redness and from scaring! But I highly recommend this remedy if you dont want to burn a hole in your pocket I litterally spend $15 on the Apple Cider Vinegar vasaline cotton medical tape and the Tea Tree oil! I strongly recommend to put vasaline around the mole so the skin around it wont get irritated! Good Luck!! I love this site! :)

I have small moles on various parts of my body and decided to get rid of them. I started with a small mole that I had on the side of my breast. I simply dipped a cotton ball in ACV and left it on the mole overnight with a band-aid. Sometime during the night the band-aid come off. I DID THIS ONLY ONCE-partially due to laziness... But over the next few days the mole get noticably smaller & darker-almost like a little scab. Then it just came off while I was in the shower. I have a very, very small scar that is currently healing in its place. I have lots of small moles on my face that I'm going to be cautious & try this on next, starting with one just under my neck. I'm a believer.

**Mole UPDATE**

Hey guys its been just over a week now and both of the moles are now completly gone!!! I am actually shocked and amazed this has actually worked! So thank you guys!! I was scared at first as both the moles was on my face (one flat and one raised) I would say another week no1 would even know I even had any moles on my face!! (AMAZING!! )The flat mole was easier to come off and the raised one made the area around the mole very tender.

*TIP* As soon as the mole turns into a scab STOP USING THE ACV! Let them heal and fall off! And wash your face with clean water and avoid the face scrubs.

I am defo going to try this on more moles now!

I am in shock and know it 100% works!!! I can't wait to show all of my friends my moleless face!!

Thanks Earth Clinic X

WARNING!

Well having read these apple cider vinegar for moles posts, I decided to take some moles off my back and face. The one on my back came off with no scar and completely removed the mole. The one on my face has left me with a large red scar the same size as the mole, it is ever so slightly raised and I have tried, coconut oil, silicone gel, and a few others to try and get rid of it, could anyone give me any advice on getting rid of it. I think we should be wary telling people the ACV way because it can scar, as I am living proof and I am a guy who is now having to wear makeup to save myself any discomfort :(

Scars are always red at first, then fade to pale. if you can't wait for the scar to heal, there are otc cream medications that work exceptionallly well.

Hi, another suggestion to use for scarring would be Emu Oil, it hastens wound healing and less scar formation. It makes bruises disappear, so it will do the same to fresh scars. It works well as it goes thru several layers of the skin. They use it as a carrier oil for other medications for deeper layer effect. Apply Emu Oil liberally as often as you want. It also works as moisturizer..

Check out the pharmacy. They now make a gel-like dressing that is supposed to minimize scars. I think it has collegen or something in it and is supposed to be good for new scars.

Although this is difficult on your face, try to minimize sun exposure. Getting a sunburn on a scar or on the healing area can cause it to keloid, which is to raise and become hard. This happened to me about a year after I had some surgery where they removed skin from my arm. Thought it was all healed, sat out in the sun and got a tan, but the doner site burned and turned keloid on me.

You can also massage it with an oil to slowly, over time, break down the scaring, to make it flatter. About 50 years ago they recommended cocoa butter, but probably any oil will work.

The redness will be there for a while, but will eventually fade.

Hi Chris, has the scar disappeared? I used ACV on a mole on my face and have a horrible scar that's causing me more anxiety than the original mole. If so, what did you use?

I'm using aloe vera gel as the scar is a bit sore - looks like an open wound, and needs to heal over. I'm thinking of using turmeric powder mixed with yoghurt after it has healed. I have olive skin, and would appreciate any advice to make this scar go away.

Look into using a derma stamp. It got rid of a red tca burn I got after treating moles. You stamp every 5-6 weeks and after 4 or 5 sessions the red mark should be gone.

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.

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.

Apple Cider Vinegar for mole removal: So far it has been about 2 weeks and the mole has not returned and the Apple Cider Vinegar actually worked on a mole that I had right below my nose that was slightly raised. It took about 8 days to remove the whole thing due to the fact that after day 4 the mole came off but there was still a piece of it left so I continued treatment. To avoid burning of the skin I put pieces of bandaid all around the mole than roughed up the mole with a plastic toothpick and than slept with a cotton ball soaked in Apple Cider Vinegar overnight. So far after 2 weeks, the skin's just redder where the mole was which really cannot be avoided.

Here is my question. My mole, on my back had a pimple beneath it and I popped it. The pimple never went away but reduced a tiny bit. The mole hurts a lil and has been this way for months maybe a year. I have lots of moles. I have a feeling this might get cancerous. My question is can the vinegar treat the cancer at all?

It works just keep putting a dab on it everyday till it turns black and then it will turn into a scab then after that its gone. But first you have to get the tip of the mole irritated and about to bleed and you can do it by rubbing with a pin or even your finger nail or what ever, but when you put the ACV on it should sting, if it does not sting then you didn't ruff up the mole to good, it has to sting to work and that tells you the ACV got inside of it.
