Just as an update......ACV did NOT work......I have never been in so much pain in my life, second degree chemical burn......bad move on my part. Seeing a surgeon next month to have the damn thing gone for good.
Hi getting mine removed Wednesday along with a fibroid. I asked for mine to be taken off because my thought was what if it got scratched and got fecal matter in it. That would be horrible and even more awkward to explain. Vinegar and magnesium oil do remove them but you have to scratch it in some way for it to get absorbed into the root otherwise you will have to apply several times a day and keep covered for about 4-6 weeks. I have them on my neck also and asked my NP about them that is what he told me. I rubbed magnesium on them for weeks then wore a necklace that caught on one and scratched it I continued to do the magnesium and within a few days saw the one that was scratched had turned black and soon fell off. You don't want to do that with that one though..... Best of luck.
It clearly bothers you. Removal is a simple inexpensive procedure that is relatively painless and takes only a few minutes.
Hello,
To be on the safe side, I would have it removed. I would have a talk with your doctor if you are concerned and ask why he feels it is important to take it off, but, as I said, if it were me, I would want it to be removed, if for nothing else, hygiene reasons as it can "hold" on to fecal material if not cleaned properly.
