I have a large mole on my cheek and few smaller ones beside it...I tried the Iodine but made it so dark to go out in public even hid under make up.....been wearing my hair swooped over my cheek............I did garlic last few days..it stings and stinks.............so today i am trying the baking soda and castor oil...that stung some......the brown has come off the mole...i did have the burn marks also........but that color is lifting too.....i had this mole for years and now in my 40's i seem to be more bothered by it.........and i cant afford a surgeon so i am trying these natural methods....i have heard of the ACV also working.....I will see how this paste i made works......it looks like yours sounds...like a big reddish pink pimple i been tampering with -lol....at least make up will hide it better then the real darken Iodine color-lol.....keep me posted how ACv continues to work for you
