Apple Cider Vinegar Mole Removal

If you are reading this then you may have heard about using apple cider vinegar for mole removal and wondered if there was anything to this or if it was just some old wives tale. The truth is this home remedy has been successfully used for years and I will share the step-by-step instructions with you so you can try it out.

You can remove a mole using apple cider vinegar and here are the directions to follow:

Note: You should have any mole checked by your doctor to be certain it is not pre-cancerous. Be smart with these home remedies and never try to remove a mole that is suspicious.

1. Clean the area on and around the mole to remove the natural oils that accumulate on the skin. There is no need for any fancy cleansers as soap and water will work just fine.

2. Use normal apple cider vinegar that you pick up at the grocery store. You do not have to hunt for organic vinegar at a health food store or heat the vinegar in any way.

3. Soak a small cotton swap (I cut a cotton swap in quarters) in apple cider and then place the soaked cotton over the mole and secure it in place with a bandage or band-aid.

4. Reapply a new clean cotton swap a few times a day, start with three times per day, until the mole fades away.

This may take several days or longer depending on a number of factors such as whether or not the mole has layers of dark pigment that lie under the skin, if the mole is raised or flat, proper application of the home remedy and so on.

You may be wondering how normal everyday apple cider vinegar can work to remove a mole, it is because of the acidity of the vinegar. However, this is also something that you will want to be careful with. Because of the acidic nature of the vinegar, if you apply it wrong you can be left with a scar or dark spot. Be sure to monitor the mole and you may find applying Vaseline to the skin that surrounds the mole helpful.

There are medical procedures that your doctor can use to remove a mole such as cryotherapy (freezing the mole away), electrocauterizing the mole (burning the mole away), surgical excision and laser therapy. However, these methods have some things you must take into consideration including cost and the probability of scarring. Personally I prefer the home remedies because I feel I have more control over the outcome and the cost is very low.
