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

Question

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.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Burns need a combination of:
1) healing lasers and light such as aerolase or laser genesis and LED therapy with light stim2) topical growth factors, stem cells, antioxidants
3) oxygen facials
4) platelet rich plasma and A cell topically
5) sun protection
After 6-12 weeks you can treat for hyperpigmentation with cosmelan peels, hydroquinone, retinol or non ablative lasers like clear and brilliant or radiofrequency like venus viva.
Please see a laser, scarring and burn expert.
Best, Dr. Emer
