Our Experience With Black Salve
This is my opinion only!
I take no responsibility for the results you experience with Black Salve, but my family has had wonderful experiences with it. I bought it many years ago and I forgot who told me about it but it has gotten rid of our moles, warts, pre-skin cancer, and skin cancer (basal cell and squamous cell).
It truly is amazing. Not one thing that I have treated has EVER grown back!
If you have something growing on your skin, you put a big blob of it on a little round band aid and put it on your sore, mole, or wart. Wait twenty four hours, then take the band aid off. Sometimes it stings a lot. This definitely means it is something that needs to go.
If nothing happens, it means that there was nothing that needed to go.
I had a sore on my chest that was getting redder and wouldn’t heal. I put some Black Salve on it and it immediately started stinging. It stung the whole 24 hours and when I took the band-aid off the sore was white, swollen, and full of puss.
The thing that is great about Black Salve is it only goes after the cancer, wart, or mole. The skin around it gets a little red but that is all.
When you take the band aid off, clean the sore with hydrogen peroxide, put a dab of Vaseline or coconut oil on it (I bought my Vaseline at the health food store so there wouldn’t be any petrochemicals in it), and put another small round band aid on it.
Do this (apply vaseline or coconut oil) every day until it is healed.
[Clarification from Lori: You apply the Black Salve only once for 24 hours. Then after this, you change the band-aid (applying Vaseline or coconut oil to the sore) daily until the root falls out and it completely heals which can take up to three weeks if it’s big like the one of my arm was.]
This is the key to having the smallest scar possible. Sometimes it leaves a little scar, but if you went to a doctor, they would probably leave a bigger scar (if it had to have it cut out).
You can get a fever using it. We’ve never gotten one, but I heard it is possible as your body fights the injury.
Usually after several days, the root will eventually fall out and leave a hole in your skin, but it will heal. Sometimes if the wart or mole is a little stubborn, I will keep it on for 48 hours. I would suggest doing no more than one area at a time so you don’t overwhelm your body.
I love finding things like this that I can take care of instead of going to the doctor. We have had amazing success with this and will keep on using it since it works so great! We have had our small jar for many years and all of my family uses it.
Recently, I had this sore right near my elbow that wouldn’t heal. I put some Black Salve (see link below to read more) on it and immediately it began to burn. It burned the whole 24 hours and became red and swollen. Even when I took the Salve off and put vaseline and a band aid over it, it burned for about a week afterwards.
It was by far the biggest spot I have ever used this on. Puss and even a little blood oozed out from under the band aid.
The Root Uprooted with Black Salve
The big white thing is now the root. It should come out in a few days.
(Yes, the good Lord didn’t bless me with good skin. I freckle and wrinkle very easily, and I am 56 years old with way too many years in the sun!)
Here it is several weeks later. This was by far the worse treatment so far. It was much bigger and deeper than I thought it would be. It was very swollen and painful for at least a week and then it again”leaked” clear fluid and blood.
I finally put on Manuka Honey on it yesterday to help it heal up faster, and it did the trick! It will take a few more weeks for it to completely heal, but it’s getting there.
Two Months Later
Above is a picture about two months after applying the Black Salve (see link below to read more). It is a flat red spot that will probably completely disappear in a few more months.
I LOVE this stuff!
***UPDATE: It’s been six months and I can barely see it!
5/13/2018: Here’s one that I treated a few days ago on my neck. I will show you it in a few months to show how little scar it leaves!
I link to Virxcan Black Salve only so you can see it on Amazon here and read the reviews. It is an ‘Amazon’s Choice’ product. Mind you, I am not recommending that you use it – just showing what we use. We’ve had our one jar for many years and we have shared it with others. We only need/use a tiny bit each time.
Also, there appears to be a knock-off product: DO NOT USE IT, even though it is on Amazon. Read the reviews!! It is called “Virxcan-X Salve” by Sunstone Formulas. Sunstone is NOT the same.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Quick question about this paragraph: “When you take the band aid off, clean the sore with hydrogen peroxide, put a dab of Vaseline or coconut oil on it (I bought my Vaseline at the health food store so there wouldn’t be any petrochemicals in it), and put another small round band aid on it. Do this every day until it is healed.”
Did you apply the black salve only once (for the 24 hours) and then apply the Vaseline every day after that? Or did you apply the black salve every day until it was healed? (Just want to make sure that I’m reading it correctly.)
Thank you!
Jacqueline says
Candice I will ask Lori to respond here if she is able. It is good to clarify 🙂 Thanks for the question, friend!

Hi Candice,
You apply the Black Salve only once for 24 hours then after this, you change the band-aid (applying Vaseline to the sore) daily until the root falls out and it completely heals which can take up to three weeks if it’s big like the one of my arm was.
Anita says
I’m getting right on it! I have moles on my face that have been there for 25 years. I can hardly imagine them gone! ?
Anita says
Oh no. Not available or able to ship to Canada. Sigh.
Toni says
This is a really good article. I appreciate the honest review of the salve, and the photos are very encouraging. One of my sweet grands has a mole on her cheek that she hates. I just ordered the salve so when it arrives I’ll have her read this post for encouragement. She will be so glad to get rid of that thing.
Thank you, Lori and Jacqueline!
Jacqueline says
Hi, Toni! Thanks for letting me know that. There are many reviews I have been reading and many work perfectly. The ones that get 1 or 2 stars just say it doesn’t do anything to it. Let me know how it does!
Hugs and blessings to you! J
PS…did you see Lori’s comment below? Apply the black salve only once, not over and over!
Joanna says
I wonder if this would work for keloid scars? I have a really large painful one on my chest that is SOOO itchy!
I’ll have to see if I can find it in Canada. ?
Jacqueline says
Joanna, that I don’t know. A typical keloid isn’t a growth like a mole or basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma, but you can test a small area. If it isn’t something that can “die”, it should not hurt or help. Just my opinion 🙂 J
Joanna says
Thank you for your reply.
I feel like I’ve tried so many things for my keloids (including steroid injections by a dermatologist- which made one WORSE because he hit a blood vessel right in the middle of my chest ?.) SOOO frustrating!!
Katrina says
I’m a little afraid of black salve since it will take the cancer out (if it’s skin cancer), as deep as the cancer goes… But I am covered in freckles and moles, and literally everyone in my family has had squamous or basal cell, and even a few melanomas, so I probably should buy some and carefully use…
Did you know there is an Amish farmer in federal prison for making black (or bloodroot) salve because of the label on his product? I am friends with his nephew, who is also named Sam Girod. Terribly sad story.

Jacqueline says
Yes, Katrina. It is a sad story. Thousands have used it safely but I am sure there are others who are either not following instructions or have something else going on besides. After all I have seen in the OR and from medical malpractice, I trust myself much more and can use common sense after researching. But, I digress. I would love it of you would take a few pictures to add to this post if you are comfortable with that. Blessings!

This is amazing! WOW! Thanks for sharing.
Kimberly Beaty says
Thank you for sharing this reaource! One question: Is there anything to help the pain? That is the one thing that makes me a bit nervous!
Jacqueline says
Kimberly, in several places she mentions it stinging…If you are a highly sensitive person or have a very low pain threshold, I wonder if you can find a topical ointment with lidocaine in it and put a tiny amt. right around the bandaid (but not on the spot you are targeting?
