Does apple cider vinegar really work for skin disorders?

I've read that putting a few tablespoons in a drink 3 times a day can really cure a lot of skin disorders. Has anyone tried it?

Does apple cider vinegar really work for skin disorders?
The Psoriasis Foundation hears from people who apply apple cider vinegar to their skin as a treatment for psoriasis. People add it to the bath, mix it with a moisturizer, soak fingernails and toenails in it, and apply it directly to the skin with cotton balls or pads.
Reply:Yes. But putting it directly on the skin is better (for acne, or getting rid of residue/oil) But be careful to only do it at night, because the sun and the acetic acid don't mix well together. you can also use it as a hair rinse.
Reply:There is a classic old book written by a country doctor which talks about Vermont folk remedies that mentions the use of apple cider vinegar, but for arthrritis, I think. I know a little bit of apple cider vinegar in a cup of hot water helps when you feel bloated after eating. Since skin disorders are related to digestive problems, I guess it would help/
