Unsuccessful Apple Cider Mole Removal (Photo)

koneliaJun 13, 2018
I did an apple cider vinegar mole removal a few years ago but it was unsuccessful. Only a portion of pigment was removed but half of it is still there. I would like to know if the apple cider vinegar would affect the detection of melanoma through a biopsy and what further test do I have to take to ensure it is not melanoma?

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. Any scar can be improved with lasers (ProYellow, Excel V, VBeam) and microneedling/prp. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I am unable to make a diagnosis based upon your photos. The gold standard for making the diagnosis is a skin biopsy. This is an outpatient procedure and is associated with minimal discomfort. I am pleased to read that you have been pro-active and you made an appointment with a Dermatologist....

Thank you for your question! You will absolutely be able to walk.  You will probably need to wear shoes that have room or are completely open because you may have some discomfort with it rubbing the inside of your shoes.Hope that helps!
