Any how was just wondering what was going on?
also how is that the HPV knows where to go in the body. For example. How does the genital wart strain know to stay in the genital region. and how does the rest know to stay else where. makes me question the who virus. Its obvious and clear that the virus is real and the warts definitely pop up in the genital region. But there are cases of virgins (even NUNS) having genital warts so im wondering how transmission is possible.
I also read up on TUMERIC. It seems like that would be a good supplement to use for any skin condition.
I may be wrong but a good whey protien mix would also prove some help for over all health garlic, tumeric, castor oil, tea tree oil , peroxide, witch hazel and the infamous ACV seem like a good thing to always keep on hand.
Ive also read some people with herpes useng CARMEX maybe that would be a good thing to use once the wart has scabbed.
There is also a tatoo oil called miracle oil that can be found at earthlybody.com this is not a plug this oil has hemp oil, tea tree oil and a list of skin conditioning oils.
ONe more thing ABREVA , they use it for herpes on the lips / cold sores and fever blisters i dont see why it wouldnt help spot treatment of WARTS.
these are just ideas that people havnt suggested and i thought i would mention.

Just wondering after the ACV treatment who how long was it until your next wart/s popping up? Obviously ACV just takes the outside appearance of the virus away but does it really trigger an immune response that cures the warts/virus?
can some one you give some times between treatment and next out break?
I treated myself with vinegar and nail filer to sand away the skin and allow the vinegar to do its job more accuratley
that was 4 months ago and some little ones just popped back up.
ive treated myself a number of times in the past 4 years after finding my 1st one.
the 1st one i had i thought was an ingrown hair because i trim up down there. but it kept getting bigger and bigger. about the size of a pencil eraser.
so i bought some cream and it got rid of it. never had one that was bigger than crumb (sorry for lack of example) ever sense but figured id get em while there small. because that big one was no joke treating. took almost 3 months to complete the whole treatment.
basically i get a few popping up every 3 to 4 months. with maybe 6 months being the longest.
my immune system probably sucks. but i hardly ever get sick. i work out 3 times a week and i drink protien shakes and eat pretty good. but could eat healthier. if i could stay away from pizza.

Im not a doctor but if all you want to do it get rid of the warts and trigger an immune response by your body i would think that clipping the warts off with nail clippers and then applying ACV or tea tree oil on the wound. OF course you will be bleeding alot so i guess you could always heat up a piece of metal and burn the flesh after to trigger your body to go into defense mode.
ive also seen people burn the warts with stick incense . makes sense to me also!!
I guess what im trying to say and what im wanting to know is once you to the ACV treatment what are your chances to be wart free again. and for how long?

After just 3 days the warts are gone! I started my treatment by drinking an ACV tonic. 2 teaspoons with a glass of water(8-10oz), 2x a day(you can add a teaspoon of honey if the taste is unbearable). I used the cotton tip from a cotton swab soaked in ACV and left it the warts for 15-45 minutes several times a day.I wasn't able to tape it in place, like others had recommended because it was in the folds of my vulva and they were really small. Make sure to use a fresh cotton swab tip every time. ACV burns a little but not as bad as the side effects from Aldara.
After the first day/application the warts turned white. The second day I noticed some redness and irritation, and it burned a little when i treated it. My warts never turned completely black, but did turn greyish in the center( I'im assuming this is because they were really small, I'm talking tip of a ball point pen small). In between treatments, I applied a small dab tree tea oil to the affected area, and after every time I used the rest room because it would just rub off. I stopped treatment on the 3rd day because on night 2 the burning was unbearable, luckily the warts had fallen off. I still applied a small amount of tree tea oil to the area several times a day. The infected area is slightly pink with white and minor irritation. I think the white is dead skin that is going to fall off soon, much like when you get a blister.
HPV is a virus that needs to be fought off by your immune system, so I increased my vitamin C intake as well. I had a pap that came back negative for HPV, but that doesn't mean you don't carry the virus, it just means that no HPV cells were found in the cervix. As a side note I also suffered from acute depression/anxiety, and after drinking the ACV tonic my symptoms have also improved greatly, and overall in a better mood.
I am going to continuing drinking the tonic, and applying tea tree oil and do one more ACV treatment once the irritation goes away. I am so thankful for stumbling upon this site because the ACV treatment is way more effective than Aldara. I hopeful that the warts will not return again.

HI. I am not for sure if you will know this or not but I am pregnant and have only one sexual partner and we have a baby on the way. I started having bumps appear on my vagina but I don't think in me. So having the medical education I already had from my Nursing classes so far I knw that it wasn't herpes but I wasn't for sure what it was because I wasn't educated that well for genital warts so i had my obgyn look at them he just said that they were warts and that since my Fiance doesn't have them he said i had to be a carrier and they appear since my hormones were going crazy, and he wouldn't do treatment until after the baby is born which is three months. I check myself every day and i think i am getting more. So my question is when you did your ACV treatment do you have to cover them with anything because some of them i am unable to cover and worried it will cause the spread of more so please help. Thanks.

but what's weird is i've had itching and whatnot down there for years, even before i was sexually active. it breaks my heart because i know i contracted this from some random person, and now i have to pay the price.
i've been in denial about this for months, and have only noticed that they got worse after i began smoking, and have been sick. so obviously it has something to do with your immune system.
so anyway, i have just been soaking a small piece of gauze with straight ACV and literally taped it to my anal area (they're all around my rectal opening). the burning wasn't nearly as bad the first time as it was the last two times. the first and second times i slept with it in, and the third time i kept it in for about 45 minutes (it hurt SO bad!). i'm thinking the acidity with the vinegar is eating my skin, as it's a pretty delicate area. and after treatment i usually shower, wash the area, dry it with a blowdryer (on cool), and apply bactine and no pain neosporin.
is there something i'm doing wrong? anyone have any advice for me? no one should have to do this, and i surely don't wanna do it alone :(

Day 1: Applied vinegar to the area infected around the vagina, all warts almost instantly turned white inclusing loads more that I couldnt see before. I left the cotton on overnight and most of the next day.
Day 2: Burned more than day 1 but didnt last too long, warts have inflamed and clustured and more seem to be appearing but 2 tiny ones are turning blck and the warts are bigger which I think means they are being drawn out of the skin (i hope).
Will update you on the next few days, I am also rubbing vitamin E oil in between treatments and taking every vitamin you can imagine.
We can fight this. :-(

First, thanks to everyone for sharing their stories and tips. Like others here, I've had great success with Apple Cider Vinegar. I'm female, and there are already plenty of helpful posts here about what to do, so I won't repeat them. I just wanted to add one tip that I've stumbled across. Guys, this may be too much info for you -- sorry. Or, maybe there are parts of the male body that this applies to, too...?
Anyway: For warts inside or around your vagina, it can be difficult or impossible to apply a bandaid/etc along the lines suggested by some posts - they're too hard to reach and/or the surrounding skin is too moist. But it seems that, for the cure to work, it's important to have the vinegar on there for a while. For these areas, I've used a mixture of vinegar and salicylic acid ointment, which you can buy at the chemist/pharmacist. Salicylic acid is also an old-fashioned "keratolytic" - ie, a cure for warts (how this virus has expanded my medical vocabulary...). It has a texture similar to vaseline, so it clings to the skin. I mixed some apple cider vingar and a few drops of tea-tree oil with it and used a q-tip/cottonbud to "paint" some warts inside my vagina. I did this three or four times a day, and the warts flared white, then quite quickly began to disintegrate.
So, keep this in mind if you have hard-to-reach warts and are wary of the tampon approach. One note: the Salicyclic acid I bought had a strength of 2%. I think you can buy ointments with much higher acid content, but I'd be wary of these. Too much Salicyclic acid can be unhealthy, and as you'll be inserting it internally, where it can be absorbed by your bloodstream, I think it's probably safest to stick to a low strength, especially as the vinegar will be doing the real anti-wart work for you.
Good luck, everyone!!!

Thank you Teru! I have had GW before and got them removed surgically three years ago. I have been fine until last Tuesday when I noticed the bastards were back. I am on my fourth day with the ACV. So far it is just getting really sensitive and sore. Between the treatments I have rubbed Wheat Germ Oil on the area, because it is rich on vitamin E. I also started taking the homeopathic remedy Thuja D6 today -- I am really hoping to avoid surgery this time.

I have had GW's for 4 yrs. now, and I have tried everything to get rid of them (Freezing, laser burning, topical immune cream, ACV, etc.). All of these got rid of the warts that were there but nothing got them to stay away. About every 2 months they come back. I also read about pumping up your immune system by taking supplements on here: (1000 mg of vitamin c, 1000 I.U. Of vitamin E, 25,000 I.U. of vitamin A (as beta carotene), 50 mg of zinc, 500 mg of lysine, an Echinacea and Golden Seal complex pill, a One-a-day multivitamin, and Garlic Supplement pills (2 at a time)) Which I have done for 2 and 1/2 months and they still keep coming back around the 2 month period. Everything I read says it takes about 2 yrs. for your body to adjust and keep out breaks away but I am at 4 yrs. and still getting them. Anyone else been like this and have found something to keep the outbreaks away? Any help would be appreciated. I am losing my mind over this.

Ok so I've been using ACV for the past week, I did it for 2 days in a row then I took a break for one day and then I did it again for 2 days. First 2 days I kept it on overnight, then I kept it on for 3 hours, and then for about 6 hours. My results so far are positive and I am being optimistic. I've been treating 3 spots and today 2/23 I am seeing warts turn black in 2 areas, and the ones at the opening of my vagina are not turning black but they are getting smaller, as if they are melting. I've noticed slight bleeding when I wipe the area with paper. My husband works in the medical field and is highly skeptical of any natural remedies and I can't wait to tell him the good news when he comes back from work! He is a bit impatient because we haven't had sex in like 10 days. Today I am going to try soaking tampon in deluted acv and sticking it inside because even though I can't see if there are any on the inside, there is a possibility that there might be and I want to make sure they are gone, so I will be working on my inter-vaginal ones now that I know the acv is working.
