Can irritate: Apple cider vinegar can irritate skin in some patients. In addition, it is unlikely to clear actinic keratoses. Actinic keratoses can be treated with a number of techniques including cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, efudex, carac, solaraze, Aldara and Picato (ingenol mebutate) gel. See a dermatologist to discuss treatment options.
