Okay. I'm telling someone. I got it. I don't know from who, but i have somewhat of an idea. Got checked for HIV and I'm negative. I was very mad and disappointed at myself at first, but then realized i couldn't do anything about stressing GW but to treat it. At first i was in denial, is it a wart? Hmm, well, thanks to ACV it sure was. A few of them. Nothing noticeable until u look hard enough. So it was time to educate, and treat my self, and off to the internet i went. Read a few things about ACV, garlic, onions, Hydrogen peroxide, and other herbal remedies. Also heard the horror stories of ALADRA. Decided on taking the ACV approach and this is what i did.

1. ACV
2. Cotton facial pads, and q tips.
3. Vitamin E oil.
4. Hydrogen peroxide.

First things first, ACV help identify where they are hiding. Soak cotton and remove excess ACV, leave for 10 min to see.
Second, once identified soak the cotton and squeeze of excess and apply to affected area. Tape around the whole penis, not to tight, and make sure the tape overlaps itself to tape on correctly. Leave on for 1hr twice a day for 2 days and remove. Give skin a break, trust me..
Third, shower, clean with Hydrogen Peroxide and dry. Apply Vitamin E.
Fourth. Soak q tip and dab directly on affected area for a few minutes. This helps burn the GW and not the surrounding skin which should already be tender from previous application.
Fifth, apply Vitamin E often.
Please note, you should dab at anytime to continue the burning of the warts.

I hope this helps, it did for me. Thank you all for your shared comments, and next time you look at someone out in public, smile on the inside and say, theres a good chance they have GW. Its that common!

Apple cider vinegar is has been the absolute best I had at least 6 warts with one of them so big it was a cluster. I am about 75% cleared an have been so anxious to write about this since this is the site that convinced me to give it a go. I was in a medically induced coma for a month an a half an this is why I agree the immune system plays a big role since mine was at its worse. So when I finally came back I noticed this rash of warts. Still even was to embarrassed to alert doctors it was a mess of these warts. I have not had sex in over a year do to my illness. Well anyway I was so traumatized by the site of these things I actually used a razor to cut of 2 of them after realizing this was not going to work do to pain an bleeding I found this site an right away I got the apple cider. I have used it for almost a week and the majority are gone and the ones left are for sure going they are black and flaking away.First I would use a Q tip an dip it in the ACV and go over all infected areas and then I would tear off the cotton from the q tip and dip it in the ACV place this over all of the warts and bandage it down with medical tape, I would keep this on for 12 hour intervals, no pain for me at all. My worse issue was placing the bandage on it because the clusters were in just bad spots. But thank you ACV if I did not no any better it seems this is intended originally for wart suffers its the best.

Well I was diagnosed with GW June 26,09 I was prescribed Aldara. I used it with a open mind but once I started applying the aldara to my open sores I started having horrible side effects. I did 4 total Aldara treaments and then said I could not handle how weak I was feeling. So I decided to read about how dangerous Aldara was and just stopped using it. So I started looking for natural ways to cure my GW. I think I had one maybe 2 warts total. I used the store brand ACV that I had in my house several times. Its burned but I didn't notice a difference in the wart. So I started reading that I had to use the organic ACV, I came home and used it that same day and the wart was definitly getting its butt kicked lol. I have done 4 total ACV treatments and the wart is gone, I can see where it was a little but I was just shocked that its gone.

Also for those people experiencing a lot of irritation, or soreness down there give your area a break. I just started with the ACV again after a 4 day break. Im continuing with the ACV for another week or 2 just incase, I don't want to stop and then it starts growing again. But I do not do my treatment everyday. I would say in a weeks time I do about 3-4 treatments with ACV. The area gets a little tender so I take a small break. Also make sure you only apply the ACV to the wart and not the healthy skin. I rip the cotton off of a q tip and dip it in the organic ACV and then place it on the wart and keep it in place with a bandaide (sp?)

Good Luck everyone

I have been battling GWs for about a year. I've tried freezing them off and they do go away for a couple of months only to return. I found this site Friday and started treatment immediately.

At first I thought that I had 6 warts(2 large, 2 medium, 2 small). I was worried about burning my skin so I decided that I would do a 4 hour soak Friday and then 1 hour twice a day for 2-3 days. Friday I put a towel on my bed and soaked some gauze and wrapped the shaft and scrotum. I laid there for 4 hours making sure to keep the gauze wet. No burning at all. No redness or irritation at all. I was amazed to see that I probably had 30-40 warts. Most were not visible until after the ACV soak.

Saturday morning I did the same thing for 2 hours. Slight burning occured but not too bad. The warts had turned white. The 2 large ones were black in the middle. Throughout the day I noticed that many of the small ones were simply falling off (AFTER ONE DAY!) The large ones are shrinking and turning more black.

This did appear that it will work for me as it seems to be following the classic protocol. I've did another hour Saurday night and again Sunday morning. I went ahead and did another hour Sunday night. I certainly would not leave this on overnight or all day.

This morning all of the smaller white ones are completely gone and the skin is healthy looking. The larger ones are all black and seem to be ready to fall off any time now.

I am using a Q-tip and applying very locally, directly to the larger one several times a day.

I highly recommend this treatment. I think that every 2-3 months I may go ahead and do a 4 hour soak of everything for ongoing maintenance. This seems to knock out the little ones early before they can get large.

SO. one fine morning while showering i noticed a teeeeeny tiny little minuscule skin tag just hangin out in my perineum (space between the vag and bumola hole). Of course, i spazzed and went to the doctor the next morning to have the thing fried off with acid. it went away. but then. two weeks later when i went back for a recheck, surprise!! it started coming back and brought friends. so again they were fried off with acid. only this time, THEY CAME BACK 10000X WORSE. the two areas that were treated turned into HUGE flat warts. it was unbelievable!!! it was like the treatment did the exact opposite of what it was supposed to. so. after desperately searching on the internet for anything that could help i came across this and many other sites that went on and on about apple cider vinegar. so. i dug through the kitchen and found some. at first i used a whole wash cloth and saturated the center of it with ACV and stuffed it in my sn---- and layed in bed with it there for a couple hours. the two massive warts turned white as well as a few smaller ones i hadnt noticed. the next morning i did the same, sat and soaked for an hour or two. by that night i had noticed that one of the warts became smaller, the little ones were gone. the larger one was a little more stubborn. i sat and soaked again until it was so painful i couldnt stand it anymore. afterwards i noticed the larger wart began to peel away at the top most layer. also, i began using tea tree oil since the ACV had made my skin so raw. definitely very soothing and smells better. im on day 5 of the ACV and tea tree treatment and its looking MUCH better!!! the tiny ones are completely gone along with one of the big ones and the largest one turned into a crater looking thing that is slowly but surely healing away. there is one more tiny wart that i still am treating but this time only with a cotton ball soaked with ACV taped to the spot. this stuff is amazing!!!!!! especially after my experience with the 'reverse treatment' i had received a week ago. i recommend this to everyone with warty problems, its so much cheaper and more effective!!!

I am really bad at keeping secrets, but have obviously kept my lips sealed about my situation. I'm so relieved and thrilled, I had to write!

I was diagnosed with high-risk (cervical cancer-causing) HPV in college, way back in 2005. The virus was dormant in six months, and I buried the experience in the haze of junior year.

Flash forward to my last check-up: having finished up my HPV vaccine and barely having any sex, I was shocked to hear the high-risk HPV was back. I knew it wasn't a big deal if the doctor kept an eye on it, and having dealt with this already, I didn't think it was a big deal.

And it wasn't a big deal. But then there was a little bump in the crease between my thigh near my butt, which I assumed was an ingrown hair from shaving. But then it didn't go away. But I have sensitive skin, so of course it was just a bump... but then the bump grew a neighbor bump. And that bump looked angry and gross. And that bump begat one more bump.

That's when I put two and two together and freaked out.

I'm normally fine with doctors and have had plenty of embarrassing medical issues. But for some reason, I was haunted by these warts. I lost my appetite and hated myself and wanted to curl up into a hole and die, or else wait 6 months to a year for them to supposedly go away on their own. But what if they didn't? What if they got worse? And how could I go a year without sex?

First I tried straight up tea tree oil soaked in gauze and stuck on with band aids. It felt refreshing, but I didn't see a difference after two days. I had white vinegar in the house, so I tried that and went to sleep for 8 hours. The next morning, the warts maybe looked a little better. They were definitely white, which I knew would happen. But would they go away?

I decided white vinegar wasn't strong enough and bought of apple cider vinegar (5%). The first night I soaked the gauze with the vinegar, taped it on with bandaids and went to bed. I didn't notice too much in the morning, but they felt a little less raised.

Last night I soaked yet another gauze with the ACV, taped it on, and went to bed. It stung this time, but not too badly. (For those of you freaking out about the pain: of course it burns worse each time. You're putting acid on open skin.) This morning in the bath tub, I rubbed some of the dead skin off. The skin felt a bit sore, but absolutely manageable. I blotted on some tea tree oil before I went to work.

When I got home from work today, I had the time to check out the location in a hand mirror. Wow. The bumps are so much smaller and flatter. After only two days, the skin is a little worn out, but the warts are definitely shrinking and getting killed by the ACV.

This site is amazing. I hope more people who are too embarrassed to go to the doctor can take care of this situation for under $10. I can't wait to report back in a few days. I hate new age herbal folk remedies, but this one is really working! I can't believe it...

8 month ago I found out that I had genital warts so I asked my doctor what's the cure for the disease. He told me there is no cure. He suggested having my genital warts freeze off. The freeze therapy was painful but the warts were gone few days later. However, the warts keep coming back and the freeze therapy did the trick temporarily, and I even tried laser and that didn't work at all. I was frustrated and seeking for a cure. I did some research and came across this site about ACV can remove warts. I went to the grocery store on the same day and topically applied on the warts with a cotton ball and taped in place. I woke up next morning and found black dots on the warts. It was the warts dying. Boy I was happy. I apply ACV ever night before I went to sleep for about 1 week and then I'll let the skin to heal for few days and then repeat the same process until is gone. I have not seen any warts coming back. I wish I known this site earlier without spending money on those useless therapies. I am also taking red marine algae and garlic every day to prevent it from coming back. God bless this site.

Apple Cider Vinegar cured my genital warts!!! I was inspecting the area with a mirror when suddenly I see a whitish light-skinned wrinkly yucky thing growing right outside the vaginal opening. Looked a little smaller than a raisin. Ahhhh!!! (I screamed) and could not sleep the whole night. I felt a little relieved when I read that your body rids of the virus in 3-6 months but I still was devastated. I paid extra in a clinic and the gyno there freeze-dried the suckers and said they would fall away in two days and not come back. He also prescribed a cream I should wear for six weeks. A week later that damn thing was still there. Very tiny but it was growing again. That's when I discovered this awesome site. I rolled a cotton ball with ACV placed in in my v area and went to bed in pain. I didn't care. I slept for 10 hours (made up for lost sleep) and when I woke up the tiny head was black.I went about my business and before going to bed I was gonna repeat the process but during my usual inspection the ugly thing was gone!!! Even better my vagina looked pinkier, healthier, and felt great! It did not take 6 weeks, or even two days...it only took 10 hours! Bless you earthclinic!!!

I started useing this treatment two nights ago....I was completely skeptical, but we had some ACV in the house and though...What the heck. I gave it a try, it burned...not worse than I could handle. I woke up in the morning, no big difference from the night before...except slightly more tender in the "V" area. I figured I would try again, but if I didnt see results, this would be the last time. This morning when I got up for my morning pee, I removed the cotton ball and MUCH to my surprise it was nearly gone. I was flabber ghasted...I definately didnt expect it to work. Through out the day today, whenever I wipe after going pee, I have wiped away more and more of that little bugger. I am more than happy with this treatment, and the burning is an extremely small downfall to the results. If your skeptical, try it, its much cheaper than in office treatments so what do you have to lose?

just had to write that the acv works amazingly! Ive never felt compelled to write something in a forum like this, indeed It sure isnt something to shout about or be proud of having got "GW"

Like a lot of people I had actually plucked up the courage and visited a doctor, who prescribed a cream that would remove them, however it did shrink them temporarily, they came back ... so 5 weeks of treatment- pointless!!!

then desperate i read into other treatments.. such as the ACV...and asprin technique.. i have to say the crushed asprin didnt work for me,.. the paste simply dried and fell off, and was by no way as effective as the ACV...

as of today i am clear of any signs i ever had GW,.. the acv worked wonders, and i would highly reccomed to anyone suffering!!... be careful though as i found it did make the skin very sore, but moisturiser and tea tree oil has brought the old boy back to form!

anyone wondering wether to try the acv... i would have no hesitation to reccomend it.

Thanks to everyone on here!..:)

I discovered this bump on the fold of my leg about two months ago. I went to the doctor immediatly cause at that time I had the extra money for the exam. He told me that it looked like HPV enough that he needed to test it, but that it could also just be a skin tag do to damage to the skin. I was hoping for the latter, and sure enough he called and said the test was negative. I was relieved, until shortly after when i noticed i was getting more "bumps". I of course called him back and told him, but he said he wanted to test it again. It was 180 for the lab test alone not to mention the office fee. I don't have that kind of cash just laying around, so I started doing research on the net. I found this site about three days ago. I had already done the vinegar test so i knew thats what it was... I found a lot of people saying that the ACV worked wonders for them so i gave it a try. When the posts i found said pain... that was an understatement! it burnt soooo badly. I had tried to do the overnight thing and woke up with the burning everytime i moved. But sure enough today i got up and washed the fold of my leg with warm water and antibacterial soap, and some of those "bumps" fell off. skin is a little reddish but i'll take that anyday over these disgusting "bumps". Im taking the night off from the ACV just because i don't want my skin to get to raw, but i just want everyone to know how thankful i am this site exsists. I got this from a now ex boyfriend, who claims no responsibility even though he gave me chlamydia (sp?) twice while we were together. Its been a really rough experience for me and ive felt dirty ever since i found out. Don't get me wrong i know it could be worse.. but for me its pretty rough to talk about, especially in a small town like where i live. I haven't used the aspirin, castor oil, and ACV method yet but im going to tomorrow since ive now read it doesn't hurt as bad as just ACV. Im so thankful that this info is out there for people like me that can't really talk to anyone about it or afford to go get them removed by a doctor. Thank you guys sooooo much and i wish you all the best of luck in the future!

I found this website while searching online for a natural remedy for my wife's genital warts. Her warts showed up right after the birth of our son, around the opening of her vagina. The warts came at a really bad time, as her body was already working hard to heal from the physical trauma of the birth. She was also terribly embaressed to have gentital warts show up on top of all the other "unsexy" stuff that was going on for her. I read about the ACV treatment for warts on this website and we decided to try it.

I was totally blown away by have effective this treatment is! I don't think I've ever seen a natural remedy work so quickly and completely. It was almost like magic. Within about 3-4 days of applying cotton balls soaked in ACV before bed, there were no more warts. They turned white and then shrank and shrank until they were completely gone, and not even any scars or signs of where they had been. The ACV completely healed her. They even continued to shrink when she skipped a day with the ACV (because it was burning a little and she wanted to take a break.) Wow. This works so well, is so cheap, is so easy; it's almost a crime that doctors will charge you big bucks to burn or laser the warts off, when this works so much better! Good luck!

YEA for ACV + genital warts: I embarrassingly discovered on my own a bunch of small little specs throughout my labia and larger ones around my anus and did some research and found out that it was the dreaded genital warts! :(

Anyway, I'm SOOOO glad to have come upon this site!

I tried the ACV, and it worked! Here's what I did:

I showered, and washed everything very thoroughly with gentle soap, then dried, and splashed everything with ACV and put a cotton ball soaked with ACV and tucked it into my labia area. No burning at first, but pretty darn quickly! WOAH! Fire! I'm pretty good with pain, and I decided to stick it out. Throbbing pain which eventually subsided.

The next morning, I removed the cotton ball and showered, washed well again, and did the same procedure. Again, LOTS of burning! This is NOT for the weak! I took the cotton ball out after about 15mins as I couldn't take it anymore. At night, same procedure, except I applied aloe vera on top, and didn't leave the cotton ball there. MUCH, much better feeling!

Warning, a bit graphic..
The next morning, I went to wipe after peeing, and ended up seeing a whole bunch of little spots rubbed off onto the toilet paper! While showering, I noticed more than half of the spots were gone! 90% in the labia area, with exception of 2 small stubborn ones!
I washed, splashed with the ACV again, and applied the aloe vera as well.

For the rest of the day, every time I wiped down there, I was taking these spots off! Fantastic! I repeated it again that night, again, avoiding leaving the cotton ball there, and the next morning ALL except 2 stubborn ones around my anus were GONE! AMAZING! In 2 days!

The anal wart took another couple days to wipe off, but I can't recommend this enough if you can tolerate a bit of pain! I just used regular $1.49 bottle of ACV from the grocery store! Gotta give it a shot!

Hi Guys, I just wanted to share my experience about using ACV and the joy that came with it. I have tried using many different treatments, but after reading about Ryan's experience with using ACV I decided to give it a go! I applied ACV to my warts by soaking a cotton ball with ACV and then using some medical tape to hold it in place, I did this prior to going to bed; it did begin to tingle a bit, but no pain. The following morning after removing the AVC and medical tape the warts were all white, very white. Lunch time I went to the bathroom, what did I discover, they had all turned very dark. By that evening they looked good as dead and by the following morning after that all had fallen off in the shower leaving a little red mark. 2 days have passed since then and new skin is building! Forget creams, forget freezing, ACV is the real deal and after 6 yrs of fighting, I found the best weapon, ACV! Thanks Ryan!

ACV Cures HPV (GW) in one week after 12 years.

Just the fact that I am here astonishes me. I rarely post anything on any forum more or less my myself swayed enough by one to take action. In this case the success others had with ACV for gential warts was compelling. I have had GW since college and they have come and gone but for the most part been consistent for more than a decade of my life. They really never spread and for the most part i had he exact same warts the whole time. I tried freezing and aldara as well as the store bought kit for freezing. None of them worked for any long period of time.

After going through a divorce and wondering how i was ever going to have a normal sex life again, I decided to try this ACV.

Here is what I did:

First, shaved off the outer layers with a normal disposable razor (gently and painlessly) I've not heard anyone else mention this although some mentioned using a file? This worked bet for me and it brought them down to almost a surface level.

next took a cue tip and snipped off the tip

next dipped it in regular ACV from the grocery store

band-aided it to the wart with a small round band-aid went

repeated for all warts - went to bed

RESULTS:

day 1 - warts turned white / grayish color. pale. little to moderate pain

day 2 - repeated process. burning sensation much stronger. woke me up at 3:00 am with stinging. removed bandages and washed off and then treated with aloe directly from the plant warts turning to more of a scab color... lots of little scabs / specs appearing

day 3 - repeated... similar burning (totally bearable given the fact that it appeared to be working) next day removed bandages, showered and applied aloe. All had turned black / scabbed over.

Day 4 (today) - gave ACV a rest to see what was happening. By end of day scabs / dead warts came off easily... like a scab ready to come off. whats left is smooth although quite pinkish / red skin..... there appears to be no sign of any warts. skin is smooth to the touch....

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN A DECADE! LIKE MANY OF YOU I"M SURE, I WAS A SKEPTIC - AND NOW I AM A SUCCESS STORY!!!! FOR $5.00 HOW CAN'T YOU TRY????

I hope you have the same luck I did... i will update after a week to see if any follow up will be needed. Also, using ACV Tonic for blood pressure and cholesterol and also seem to be allergy free this spring thus far which is a first since childhood? Placebo??? Phsyco-sematic? Who knows... but i am very grateful i found this site indeed.
