Two weeks of using it had lightened the age spots and now, they're totally gone! I am also using it now to lighten the dark areas of my body like the knees, the elbows, and the neck. It takes a lot of time and patience but the result is amazing!

My arms are more evenly pigmented, and what looked like a brown tan is now clearly showing up as a series of sun spots and freckles which are shrinking.
I am amazed at so much progress in just a few deays. I will continue to post.
P.S. My sheets are rather oil stained, but its a small price to pay
Apple Cider Vinegar, Horseradish

This is what I did:
Fresh lemon juice-ACV- and the horseradish. All equal parts . (it will be a tad milky with some foam, ), I put a very warm wet cloth on my face and neck for a couple of minutes to open up my pores and then apply my mixture and go to bed. This takes a couple of days and the results are wonderful. My skin has improved 75% and I am going to keep on using this, this is working for me and I am very happy with the results I am seeing. The smell is not too bad but your spouse or partner may not agree, but there is always the couch for them to sleep on...

Thank you so much for the tip!
Castor Oil
I noticed on your post that you rub it in. What I do is leave my spots in contact with the oil for as long as possible. I put a dollop on the spots and do not rub it in. Some people say put some on a band aid and then over the spot. I also use the purest form of castor oil I could find. NO blends and added stuff.
Last night I put the oil in my eyes (as usual) but then put a gentle heat pack over the eyes. It was very relaxing, the sinuses also drained and my ptrydium was DRAMATICALLY smaller today. Its width has really reduced and the thickness is also reduced. For the first time in 25 years I can begin to see the original eye tissue under this horrible membrane. I am going to go to bed like this tonight because I now see why people say castor oil helps them sleep.
moles: first the colour disappears and then they dissolve around the edges.
Sun spots: become gradually lighter.
Freckles.. become slightly lighter day after day
Pterydium: seems to become narrower and then looses depth as well.
My body skin is as soft and supple as baby skin now.
Please keep posting Fransica, perhaps others can help you devise the perfect treatment protocol for you.

I have been thinking about what to suggest for your sister, as it started as a boil and possibly spread to the end of the nose?
My first thought was impetigo, which is common on that part of the face. It does sound like some sort of infection, anyway, whether bacterial or fungal.
There are so many things to try and with skin things I tend to just keep trying things until I find what works. But with the more tender skin of age, I would want to stick to remedies that are as gentle as possible. I was pondering castor oil, coconut oil, turmeric, acv....
Then I remembered this skin cream I was using for a while that I just loved - Nutribitoic Skin Ointment. It is kind of pricey ($8 for a half ounce tube) but a little goes a long way. I found it to be very gentle. It contains all sorts of stuff that would help a variety of problems. (It has herbs, castor oil, gse, honey, vitamins, essential oils etc.) Anyway, that is probably what I would try first.
Frankly, it doesn't sound like vitiligo to me, but I haven't seen it, I suppose! Vitiligo is a skin condition in which the skin isn't showing its pigmentation, I have never seen it raised or resembling boils or anything.
Let me know what you think.

You could try diluting the ACV a good bit and test it on a small area of the skin. I would start with 1 Tablespoon ACV to 1 cup of water. You could increase the amount as you are comfortable.
You could also follow up with some castor oil, which is good for the skin.

I am not sure about the difference between age spots and sun-damage spots!
We get a lot of both of them in these here parts (high-intensity UV rays). I am not one for sun-screens on a personal front.
I fixed some small ones on my arms several months ago by regularly taking a multi-vitamin and mineral (trace minerals?) supplement pill each and every day for a while (and still taking them for other reasons). Twelve vitamins and twelve minerals, including several reckoned as being deficient in our (NZ) soils e.g. Boron, Selenium, Copper etc etc. Rectifying these missing elements is important I reckon. Soil is different in the USA.
The Selenium was listed as "Amino acid chelate" and I think this may have been the essential ingredient in my case. More accurate description than that I cannot say: taken on trust!
However, I have a whopper on my leg which I have had for a long time, finally got frustrated with it and have resorted to using a smear of Salicylic Acid Gel on it for five days ending tomorrow, so we will see how that pans out.
There are some simple instructions to follow including a followup protocol of using some Aloe Vera Gel to round off the treatment/heal the scar.
Mine hasn't "Whitened up/dried up or peeled off" yet as promised but we live in hope - optimism is the best policy I suppose. The blighter has clung to the leg like a tropical leech for a long time and probably won't give up in a hurry. It looks like one of those chocolate buttons actually-remember them?
Anyway, I hope you have success.

Wonderful! Yay for Grandma! Feel free to pass along more of her wisdom!
I believe it was the late Dr. Robert Mendehlson (a pediatrician) who said, "Two grandmothers are worth more than one doctor."
So happy for your healing!

People use ACV in such a variety of ways. Yes, you could use it as a toner after washing your face. Some leave it on and some rinse it off. But I would start out with it diluted. You will have to see how it seems to do for you. I would use it once or twice a day. Then, at least at night, go ahead and rinse it off and gently apply some castor oil to your face. I like to use a cold preased hexane free castor oil. I do this before bed and my face never feels oily when I wake up the next day.

1. Do I apply this potion only to the age spots/sun spots? Or do I apply it over all my skin? The spots are darkened skin, not raised. They're like freckles, but not quite so dark. Shouldn't I apply this only on the spots themselves? I don't want to lighten the other skin (I'm a man, and I don't really want fair skin).
2. Wouldn't it be so much easier to, instead of making onion juice out of onions, just buy some onion powder and mix it with water? Both are "liquid onion, " but the mixing the powder with water seems ten times easier than chopping 12 onions, then blending them (or whatever), squeezing them, etc.

WARNING!
Considering the warnings I've read from derm/cosmetologists, it's best to reserve the lemon juice treatments for nightime use only.

#1- I soaked an entire RED onion in ACV (Braggs), this is in a glass jar, and I dab a cotton ball in it and run it over my cheeks when I know I will have free time.
#2- At night before going to bed, I rub castor oil on the sunspots
#3- I am taking MSM 4,000mg and 2,000 Vitamin C.
These THREE combined have FINALLY shown ERADICATION of my sunspots. I wish you all tons of success and know that you are all beautiful inside and out. :)

I got rid of a large one with a mixture of peroxide and horseradish sauce (horseradish, vinegar, salt, water). I'm thinking that was the combo, but I'm not sure, I have to get more horseradish and try it again. Just the kind of horseradish sauce you make at home. I put the peroxide on it and then while it was still damp rubbed the horseradish into it real good. I only did it once or twice. The brown spot turned a lovely shade of lavender and puffed up a little, and then faded away in just a few days. It was either apple cider vinegar or regular white vinegar. Sorry I can't remember. The store hasn't stocked horseradish root for a while and the jars of it all have mystery ingredients... So I wait...

Apple Cider Vinegar------My dermatologist's diagnosis of a persistent spot on the bottom left side of my face was" age spot"! One application of Apple Cider Vinegar got rid of it COMPLETELY!
Lime Skin-------As a right handed person, I have rubbed lime skin (rind) every single morning on my left hand after squeezing it in my herbal tea, and there are zero liver/age/brown spots, whereas, I do have some tiny light brown spots on my right hand!
These days, I use lime skin on both hands equally!

Am I going to apply it to my skin like a toner and leave it on overnight or rinse it with water after several minutes? Can I wash my face with facial wash before applying ACV or not? How many times do I have to do this? Please explain also the use of castor oil.
Thank you for taking time in answering my questions.

Tons of thanks once again for your reply and positive thought that 'it does not look like vitiligo'. Your answer gave her a ray of hope. Will definitely try your suggestion and keep you posted. Also pray for her that it cures 100% and that slighlty white patch becomes back to normal skin colour.
She also started wheatgrass juice first thing in the morning.

Lemon juice from a bottle is NOT the same as fresh lemon juice. I do not know if it would work in your case but I do know from an unfortunate experience that for certain internal lemon juice benefits to work the bottled product is useless. Use Fresh Lemon Juice Only for any home remedies recommending its use.

Someone mentioned warts, and I do have different wart salutions.
A friend with growths: One friend had some growths that appeared underneath both arms. Possibly skin tags, possibly finger warts. She never went to the doctor to have these identified. Then she somehow got a scratch under her arm, and a rash developed on it. This was a staph infection. She was going to go to the doctor, but decided to apply some tea tree oil to the staph infection to see if it would go away. After a few days the staph rash was still there, but she realized the growths under her arm were smaller. She ended up getting a prescription cream for the staph rash, and taking garlic pills. After a couple of weeks the growths under the one arm were completely gone. She started applying tea tree oil to the growths under the other arm. Those growths went away as well.
My experince with wart treatement: About 30 years ago I had the wart virus. I would get a wart, go to the doctor and get it cut off, or burned off, a few weeks later a new wart would appear. One day I was sitting in the doctors office waiting room, waiting to get my latest wart burned off. I was reading Readers Digest, and found an article about getting rid of warts. The article stated that applying Cod Liver Oil would get rid of warts. I should have walked out of the doctors office and ran to the nearest store to buy some cod liver oil pills, but instead I let the doctor burn off the wart. I still have a scar from the burning of that wart and the previous ones as well. As before, weeks later another wart appeared in a different spot. I bought a bottle of cod liver oil pills. I poke a pill with a needle and sqeezed out some of the oil onto the wart, and wrapped a bandaid around it. I did this a few times per day, every day. After a few days I started noticing the wart was actually smaller. The wart completly disapeared, and apparently the cod liver oil also killed the virus because I didn't get any new warts after the treatment.
The only down side to teh cod liver oil is the strong fishy smell. But a week or two of smelling like a fish, is well worth it!
Two friends with plantars warts: I have had two friends who had a plantars warts on the bottom of their foot. One took a homeopathic remedy called Thuja (in pellet form). The wart got smaller and smaller and was gone in a couple of weeks. Another friend put grey Duct tape on the wart, and wore this day after day. The wart turned white and peeled off.
I hope this is helpful! Will keep you posted on my castor oil, ACV results.

My comment is directed to those who would like a natural, fairly inexpensive moisturizer. Have any of you tried Squalane oil? I use it directly under my makeup, if I wear any but I wait a few minutes and give it time to sink in. Squalane is a very light (almost feels like water) oil. It is so lovely, clear, no odor and fairly inexpensive. Many companies sell "cold-pressed, first-pass" olive oil and charge a lot of money for an ounce of it @ $45. But Squalane is a finer oil and very inexpensive, @ or less than $25 for 4 oz's. If you do not like the feel under your makeup use it for a night moisturizer. It is natural, inexpensive and beats any of the expensive ( very expensive) moisturizers I have ever used. I also use it as a carrier oil for other essential oils I may use. And Avocado oil is a most wonderful body moisturizer. It is a little green, and has a slight odor (mildly off-putting, but dissipates quickly). It does not make your skin green. Sure less expensive than lotion, and au -naturalle!
One last thing, I use Frankincense, straight in my nares, and it seems to be clearing my sinus'. You may want to mix it with a carrier but I like it straight. I just put a few drops in the palm of my hand and using a clean finger tip, apply it as far in in a circular motion to cover as much area as possible. My eyes have not looked like soccer balls, and I have not noticed the yellow crystals in the corner of my eyes lately.
Now, I can't wait to try the ACV and one of God's biggest healers to mankind honey. I wonder if a person made a mask of honey ( we used to do it in nursing school) and used the mask after the ACV dried what benefit a person might see with the tone, elasticity, integrity, and effect on dark spots? Sounds good, and there are some very nice tree honeys that are said to be wowsers! Best wishes on our journey~*~

Yes, it's also true that people with "Dr." in their names write all kinds of books; especially books on nutrition. Example: the book titled "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" by Dr. Wallace. However what those authors say in their books are nothing but opinions. It is you, the reader, who needs to separate the wheat from the chaff. One of the most challenging tasks of reading books involves sorting through a seemingly endless stream of opinions on pretty much everything.
Sorry, there are no 125 mg (milligram) Selenium tablets that I know of. It's far more likely that each of those tablets contain 125 mcg (microgram) Selenium.
Further, in the last 3 months I've been taking 300 mcg a day of Selenium. But, as to my age spots (a.k.a. sun spots, and moles), this protocol has done nothing for me. Therefore, if you're taking 300 mcg Selenium per day for 3 months for your age spots, liver spots, or moles, you're wasting your money. Ditto for a dose of 200 mcg per day for 3 months.
I hope this will help somebody!
