Burn in skin after apple cider vinegar mole removal attempt (Photo)

rjuanaAug 15, 2018
I used A LOT of acv, literally all day and all night for 2 days on my mole and it went on the surrounding areas of my skin. I think the acv burnt through the center of the mole and into my skin? Why is it yellowish? Is it like a second degree burn? What can i do at home to treat this. Thanks.

I recommend following up with your cosmetic dermatologist for after care recommendations. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. Any scarring can be improved with lasers and microneedling/prp. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Deep moles are not necessarily more concerning, but there is a chance of it returning. If necessary, it can be removed again with laser, radiowave or shave. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
