I have just started the ACV treatment for a 'pencil eraser' sized mole on the side of my neck. I roughed up the surface quite a bit and started use, I only put the ACV on at night while I'm sleeping so I assume the process will be slower than others. I'm on day 4 and the hard dark scab is on the mole, but the very bottom edges are still soft (discolored but soft like the original mole) is there anything I can do?

Used vinegar on a small, but very raised facial mole. Pricked it with needle all over first. Mole flattend right down level with skin, scab formed within hours, came off 5 days later - no mole! Can't believe this works... And best of all didn't even have any Apple Cider Vinegar so used regular malt vinegar. Now will buy some Apple Cider Vinegar which is no doubt stronger and better for use on the few other moles I have on my body. Incredible solution!

Do you mean warts as well? I always seem to have skin problem. . . . Not really many moles but quite a few warts (got rid of a few with ACV and will continue after the summer), small growths some kind of warts as well, white spots. . . Always problems!

After reading all the posts here, I also decided to try ACV with mother in it on my mole. I had a mole right beside my nose that became bigger in the last few years, it looked like a bump. At first I wasn't sure if ACV is good idea, I mean it is my face, but. . . For one week I used a part of cotton ball(swab was too small) and soaked in ACV, then pressed against the mole. No scratching or anything else. I did that three times daily(kept for ten minutes) for two days. Nothing happend. . . Well the color was a bit lighter, not very noticable. . Then on the third day I soaked the cotton ball in ACV, squeezed ACV out, so the cotton just felt wet, but looked almost dry. I again placed it on the top of the mole and kept it there firmly. It started to burn in the first two minutes, but I didn't remove it for about half an hour. . Well, I removed the cotton ball,and a black scub covered my mole. The next day I did the same, maybe for twenty minutes, and the day after that I decided to stop using ACV. Scub was very dry and fell of next morning. Five days, and mole was gone for good. As for scar, there is none. It was a tiny wound, then became a layer of dry skin, and now there is a pinkish spot only. My husband was quite sceptical and asked me if I know what I'm doing, but the day the scub fell off, he came back from work, and there was a loud: "I can't believe, it is gone!"
So, the same day I decided to remove a way bigger dark brown mole on the side of my neck, usually covered with my long hair. It is size of a raisin,quite big and raised. My father has the same kind almoust on the same spot. . . The thing is that the top of the mole was quite dry, I suspected, it was from hair coloring. The mole is just between my ear and the hair line. With this one I didn't squeeze out the ACV completely, I used it over night, four nights in a row, and that made my mole look vey wet and it started to break in small pieces. But just the previously dry part(top). Then on day six the rest of my mole became way bigger,looked scary for a bit. There was no burning. . . I remembered what I did with the first mole, I squeezed ACV completely out of the cotton, used the bandaid as before and kept it overnight. I did use some vaseline around the mole, but it was so big and raised, that there was no contact between the skin and the ACV cotton ball. There was burning and kind of painful to touch after few minutes,but my mole was a black scub next morning. So, in my case it helped to squeeze ACV out of cotton, it almost felt/looked dry before I used it on the mole. My second mole is now very dry scub that is barely attached to the skin. It is day nine now,and I think it will be gone tomorrow. So,now I want to thank everyone for sharing your experience,it did help me in a big way. I made right decision and two moles are gone in about two weeks!

Craters & scarring from mole removal...
After treating some moles for a few days (On the face) they started to disappear, but I also noticed the moles were leaving craters & lines around the craters that looked nasty.
I prayed to God for help & this is what He provided:
* Comfrey...
Some fresh comfrey was chopped up & mixed with Extra virgin olive oil, honey & nutmeg (Appreciations to Ted) put on a bandaid & applied to the crater sites. These were kept on over night.
The next morning was pleasantly relieved to see the craters were minimal & looked like they were healing nicely : ) The Comfrey, Extra virgin olive oil, honey & nutmeg remedy was used for the next few days as well.
The results have been impressive...NO HOLES, NO CRATERS!
There is some redness around the wound areas, but this is healing quickly.
Important note: Treatment choice in this instance was Lugol's iodine 5 %. I'm not sure about the apple cider vinegar but the iodine worked. If you are interested in removing moles with iodine, prepare yourself, it has quite a sting, but it also kills the moles & really it wasn't that bad.
Tips:
* Using a Q-tip, put some maple syrup or black strap molasses on the mole(s) BEFORE the iodine.
Leave on for about 3-5 minutes THEN apply the iodine.
The reasoning behind this was if the mole was some sort of fungus, the maple syrup or black strap molasses would lure them out for a nice feast on some of their favourite food. Hopefully this would optimize the attack that was soon to come from the iodine (And just maybe minimize the scarring & cratering too).
* Comfrey...What an amazing gift!
* Keep the new wound(s) clean.
* Follow up with something that will help reduce the holes & craters (Comfrey mixture, aloe etc)
This is really important.
* Eat sensically & Alkalize your body before and during treatment. This will be supportive as the body works to repair the skin & assist in removing the mole(s). (Appreciations to Ted) Read more about this on Earth clinic & gather other helpful tools as well (Healing helpful herbs, foods,
activities & drinks etc.)
* Count the cost before doing ANY treatment. Pray, research, ask yourself questions...Be prepared.
Sometimes bad things can happen if you don't have enough knowledge...A little extra research,
patience & prudence can really payoff!
* Comfrey Mixture contents: Half a cup of Comfrey, approximately 3 TBSP of Extra virgin olive oil,
approximately 2 TBSP of honey & approximately 1 TBSP nutmeg mixed together in a jar.
* A Broccoli ointment was also used during the treatment, this was comforting & I think it helped.
* Iodine was applied to the moles several times a day. Everyone is different. The mole may come off the first day, maybe the second or third day. Please be patient.
* The above treatment lasted approximately 2 weeks.
Thank You God : )

Hi Lisa and Francisca,
I agree with you. When my son was in college, he went to a dermatologist for a minor problem. She convinced him to let her examine him for skin cancer and ended up having about 8 moles removed! I suggested that the fact that he had medical insurance, and perhaps the dermatologist needed to earn money could be connected. It was one of those "aha moments" in his young life. I'm hoping that it taught him to be a bit more cautious before simply accepting the opinion of one doctor.
To our search for a better way,
Lee

Hi Francisca,
I know it must seem odd to you as it does to me as well. What I am observing is that more and more people are convinced by drs. to just have the moles removed. It seems to be increasing at an alarming rate to me. They tell the patient that it would be a good idea "just in case" down the line it might become a problem. Now, it even seems to be the norm which in turn causes a lot of kids to be embarrassed of their moles and just want to have them removed for cosmetic purposes. What I then watch is the kids suffering for a couple of weeks stunned at how painful the procedure actually is. Then, on top of all this, they grow back again! And the procedure has to be redone because "they didn't cut into the root deeply enough!" At any rate, that is what I'm seeing here. And, to boot, the scars are really gnarly in some of the cases. So, your question is not silly to me as I have been unnerved by this being sold as the way to go. Lisa

Personally I think moles are ugly and that's why I would get rid of them other than for a medical reason. Just my thoughts though...

One question which might sound silly but why do so many people here want to get rid of moles? Unless moles in the US mean something else than here in Europe we as a rule don't touch them other than when the dermatologist thinks that there is something wrong with them and even then he will do it himself. Aren't moles those brown things we get on the skin or do you people mean something else like warts maybe? Those we get rid of.
By the way, I am having no trouble getting rid of my warts with ACV. You just have to be a bit patient for a number of days and then they are gone, even plantar ones. Just don't use white vinegar as I did on my leg, now I have a big, dark stain!

Re: Moles, ACV, & scarring, & iodine
Just an update. After using the ACV on my skin colored facial mole, I can tell you I now have no scar. There was a crater and I was freaking, but after 4 months it filled in nicely. Used silicone, and Ted's remedy of honey and nutmeg. No mark, not redness, no scar.
I have since used the ACV and Lugols iodine methods to remove moles. Lugols's looked like it worked but the mole came back in about 6 months. It also left a scar that is still visible. For me, the ACV method works the best, but everyone is different.
Here is my advice:
1.) Experiment first on a mole on your body to see what works for you.
2.) Protect the skin around the mole.
3.) Scratch and rough up the mole.
4.) Be patient, don't freak out. Things will look bad, but if you do not form keloids, you will probably heal better than you expect.
Good Luck everyone!

Jenjen321,
I'm in my 50's and my moles are all very deep. Even the flesh colored ones. I suspect the flesh colored ones are a different type of fungus, but I really don't know. It took at least 4-6 months for the holes to heal, but I have no scars and I would do it again happily. I used aloe, coconut oil, silicone, and Ted's honey, nutmeg & I mixed in a little cayenne pepper to the mixture. I also took as many vitamins as I could. Remember to take especially Hylauroic acid.
Hope you healed well also.

I stumbled across this web site quite accidentally. I had a pea sized mole on my right cheek which I had hated for years. I decided to try the ACV. For the first three days I used vaseline around the mole and left a small piece of cotton ball soaked in ACV on 24/7 secured with a bandaid. I changed it frequently throughout the day and before bed. Within 4 days the mole scabbed and on the fifth day it fell off. The skin around where the mole had been was a little red so I used an antibiotic cream and a bandaid overnight. This took the redness away. I can still feel some of the core of mole and there is a small part that is not completely gone. My plan is to now dab ACV on with a q-tip several times a day to get rid of the last bit of the mole. Thank you so much for this site. To be rid of this mole after all these years so simply and so inexpensively is wonderful.

I tried the apple cider vinegar method to remove a mole on my belly. I roughed up the mole and applied the ACV with a cotton ball taped into place with band-aids, twice a day for 2-3 weeks. The mole sort of dissolved away, but always left a red spot, not just normal skin. I didn't start using vaseline (later, virgin coconut oil) on it right away, though. Maybe that is the problem, because the red area has turned into a keloid scar that is not going away, though I have been applying pure vitamin E oil to it morning and evening. It has been a couple of months...any suggestions, please??!! Thanks to all who write with various issues. This is a phenomenal website!

I used neosporin on it and the reddish mark is little to none. I'm not sure but it might slow the effect of the ACV slightly but i don't really mind as long as there is no red mark for me it's fine. This is day 2 for me with the ACV and it has started to scab but there is red mark and also it's on my face and none of my friends seem to notice.

My girlfriend tried ACV on a cotton swab after scoring her 2 facial moles. They both left leaving craters in her face. She could handle the craters (because she knew they'd heal)but now the moles are coming back, which she's not too happy about. Especially since they already came back once before with a vengeance (getting bigger) after a failed attempt using H2O2.

Reply to Mitch, Don't give up too soon. The ACV will sting at times and the mole will look sickly and bigger, but eventually it will start to get smaller and scab over. Worked on a mole on my neck that I had since I was probably seven years old. I treated the mole for 2 to 3 weeks. Only a small scar is left now. Much better than having the mole there. The ACV sure beats the price of having to go to the doc.

I've only tried getting rid of flat moles on my face and from what I've seen, the moles have gotten smaller and less noticeable, the moles were small to begin with but they've gotten much lighter and decreased in size.
Since it's my face, I've been extra careful and I did the q-tip method, where I scratched the surface of the mole a little bit with a clean needle then applied the vinegar on the mole ONLY, for multiple times I reapplied until the burning sensation stopped. The moles were darker the next day, were slightly hard when I touched them and eventually the scabs fell off leaving behind smaller moles.
I think it is possible to completely remove them, it just might take a couple of tries.

I have had a raised mole about the size of a lentil under the right corner of my mouth since birth. Never bothered me, though it grew slightly larger as I aged, and for the last few years I have thought about removing it -- but did not want to pay several hundred dollars to have it done by a doctor. Having seen a side view of it, while having my hair cut recently, I decided I was ready to say goodbye to it.
Natural home remedies are always my first line of defense, so when I went on the internet and came across all the positive results using ACV I laughed at how simple this could be.
I followed instructions roughing the skin up. I didn't have any unused sand-paper or emory boards -- so I used (LOL)a small piece if a cracker with a very rough surface. It did the trick, so I then applied the ACV with the tip of a cotton swab, dabbing for several minutes until it formed a hard black scab. I soaked a small piece of a cotton pad and covered the mole with it using some regular clear tape to secure it and slept with it.
The following day, I wasn't sure if I had roughed up the undersides of the mole(as it was raised)so I sterilized some cuticle scissors and scraped around the mole with the sharp tips -- again applying the ACV with a swab -- and again covering it with the soaked cotton pad.
Foolishly, I did not apply petroleum jelly to the surrounding skin, so the area became quite burned and inflamed. ACV is VERY strong, and I probably used too much, too soon -- so for the next few days I used only a little hydrogen peroxide to cleanse the area and vitamin E to heal the skin.
The mole had formed such a hard tight scab that I became doubtful it would come off. But I hung in there, and after a week it became loose enough to remove with a little prodding. There was still a trace of the mole underneath and since it was slightly raw I applied the ACV again with a swab.
There is a much smaller scab there, at present, I feel confident that the rest of the mole will come off, or at worst, will be greatly diminished. I will post back with the complete results.

Just wanted to let you know i had a BIG mole on one side of my waist, ugly and blackish... i have used a cotton meche soaked in ACV to keep it wet for about 5 days - changed the cotton every evening and morning. I did not scratch it with needles or anything. It stang a bit and it was kinda painful (more like uncomfortable). The 6th day when taking a bath, it peeled off!

Since childhood each year I get more and more freckles. I love the sun and live in Florida and until finding coconut oil this winter rarely ever use lotion/sunscreen. I can't stand the feel of them.
For freckles: I have been using coconut oil topically and turmeric in homemade capsules for other reasons but have noticed...the turmeric will even out skin tone nicely, even acne redness. Due to the healing properties in the coconut oil some of the clusters of freckles did kinda scab over then healed leaving lightened freckles or no freckles at all. I watched these spots but after the scab fell off I could not even tell where they were. If this was cancerous I am not worried b/c of the coconut oil healing properties. Far as i'm concerned it is healed/detoxed and I no longer have to worry about it.
I believe that it is both these remedies together that is working on my freckles. Either way, I have less freckles and younger/healthier looking skin. I have only been using this for a few months and look forward to seeing if I can get rid of most if not all of my cute freckles. A heads up--research coconut oil first if you have never tried/heard about it. It has some fabulous cleansing properties but some people have to start slowly with its use.

Ok, so I decided to rid myself of a very unattractive mole on the left side of my face, on my hairline. I brought my trusty bottle of acv to work (yes, work...I'm not so inclined to slap a piece of duct tape on my face to secure a stinky piece of acv soaked cotton while trying to sleep). Sitting cautiously behind my computer, so as not to pique the curiosity of my co-workers, I soaked a q-tip in the acv and applied it directly to the mole. I then sat and read Earth Clinc posts for ten minutes or so (hope the IT staff were on break). I started this self-inflicted facial hooplah three days ago and only did it once a day and today...it's gone! Of course, it looked like I had a science experiment growing on the side of my face for a couple days! It enlarged and turned blood red on day one, as if it were going to put up a fight (puh-LEEZE) and then it scabbed up and turned black the following day. As I read it it's last rites, it simply fell off! I swear I heard it whisper "I'll beee baaack" but ain't NO MOLE strong enough to withstand the power of pure, undiluted acv!
PS. Should you choose to do this at work, be prepared to answer the repeatedly asked question: WHAT'S THE HECK IS THAT SMELL?????

I have a question about ACV and Moles
I am trying the ACV treatment for moles. I have a few moles on my face and decided to try to get rid of them. I have put the ACV on a small piece of paper towel that has been folded so that it fits under one of those small square bandaids. Well, I left it on over night like I have read you are supposed to. I took off the bandaid in the morning to let the mole breath and such. I noticed it had bumped up a bit but I wasn't really concerned with it. Later in the evening I rubbed the area near it and brushed the mole. It popped and a clear liquid came out of it like a blister! Has anyone else had this happen?

Hi, I have a question for those who had tried Apple Cider Vinegar on a flat mole about the size of a pencil eraser. When i was young i really hated this mole on my face, and i scratched it, thinking that it would remove it permanently, because i didnt know much about moles. It used to be raised, but after being scratched it became raised, turned flat and got bigger/darker. The size of it used to be smaller, now became the size of a pencil eraser. I read some feedback on this website and learnt that flat moles tend to have roots that are deeper than raised moles, and tend to have a higher scarring chance. My question are: since my mole used to be raised, but since i scratched it, it turned flat does not mean it has a deeper root now? And will it leave a hole if i remove it with ACV? I really want to find more about this before i use ACV on it, since it's on my face. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! And Thankyou to this website also; I've learnt so much here.

Apple Cider Vinegar and moles
Worked great! I was a bit skeptical but figured what did I have to lose except possible a mole?! There was a mole on my side that my son would always scratch while he nursed. It was such a pain to keep him from scratching it! So one night I decided to try the ACV. The mole was already scratched from my son so no scratching needed, I took a piece of paper towel (didnt have cotton balls or anything) folded it up, soaked it with ACV, got duct tape (didnt want the ACV to make the small bandaids I had fall off so figured I'd use duct tape)Taped the paper towel directly over the mole (no vaseline or anything on the surrounding skin)Did this for 4 nights, by night 3 it stung so I figured it was working pretty good, after the 4th night it was pretty black and scabbed so I figured it was good as gone so I discontinued the acv at night. Within a few days, it was dried and fell off! Small pinkish circle is all that is there now! YAY!
Working on a few others moles now, I am going to try hydrogen peroxide just to give a report on that if it works but ACV for sure works! If the mole is not scratched you definitely need more than 4 days of acv soak. I tried 4 days on another mole and only the top scabbed off and I'm sure its because it wasnt scratched so going to try a few more days on that one.

First of all, I was skeptical Apple Cider Vinegar would work- i'm not going to lie! But over the last six years I had seen two dermatologists about a mole on the very end of my nose. Both of whom tried to remove the mole by means of freezing, and shaving. Both times it came back. Its been quite the journey for that little guy...but I really wanted to get rid of him. So, I gave ACV a try after reading this site. Started the regime a little over a week ago with scratching the mole with the broken end of a toothpick, essentially roughing up the surface a little then applied a cotton swap about the same size of the mole soaked in ACV over the it aplied a band-aid to hold it in place over night. Did this three nights in a row. The first day it bubbled a little. Nothing too noticeable. Second day after I took off the band-aid in the am. it has scabbed over looking black. (just like everyone said it would.) the third day I took a hot shower and afterward i peeled the scab right off and it left a crater sized hole. Honestly, I looked like a mess - but i prevailed and by the fourth day I could already see the damaged skin reviving itself and starting to heal. Today its day 8 and you can hardly see anything. My skin is looking healthy. I'm thrilled. In the back of my head Im worried that some how it'll come back just like it has in the past, but only time will tell. I am truly amazed it worked. Also, truly grateful to have found this site!

I used acv on the side of my face near my left eye using acv for about 5 days with a small piece of cotton saturated with acv and covered with a bandaid. The mole turn black and scab I could feel the acv burning. The mole fell off and left a red mark and scar. I put lavender oil on during the day and Ted's remedy of honey and nutmeg at night on the scar. It's been almost 2 months. The red is gone and the scar is starting to go away...I don't think the scar will go away completely, but a little powder does cover it up. I'm really happy with the results.
ATT: To let everyone know this was my fault for not protecting my face with VASELINE around the mole. I have another mole on my face and I will use VASELINE :>) this time. Good Luck to everyone!
