Apple Cider Vinegar
I used a long, narrow cheval mirror which I placed on the floor and squatted over it, with my back towards the centre of the room (and thus the lights). This had the effect of opening up the anal area as well as could be done, but also directing the reflected overhead light exactly onto the area. It gave me a clear, well-lit view of exactly what I was dealing with.
The long mirror makes it easier to adjust your position to maximize the lighting, without having to change the angle of the mirror, or the position of your rear-end.Also the butt-cheeks are well spread apart, freeing both hands for applying medication etc.
I just found it all so much easier once I had adopted that method.

A couple days ago, I decided to go at them.. both. I put some ACV on a piece of cotton (2 pieces) and applied each piece of cotton to each wart and then wrapped my shaft with that medical tape thread stuff. I left it on over night. Took it off in the morning. Both were white. I left the bandage off to give them some air. They both started to and eventually turned black. The smaller one fell off a couple days ago. The larger one.. that one stayed around and itched like crazy until last night.. I guess I was itching and it was ready and popped off. SWEET! That SOB has been there for about 10 years. Finally got rid of em.. for now. This stuff works.
Just let them breathe for a while after you remove the cotton and ACV. Also.. the ACV WILL irritate/burn the skin around the wart if you put a huge piece of cotton filled with ACV over it..... so try to make the cotton piece about the size of the wart. Also, don't go for really long periods of time. That and if some burning around the wart happens, dont put any ACV there for a day or 2 and let the skin around the wart heal up. You don't want to be burning that skin over and over and over.. let it breathe. Good Luck!

Basically I've been trying the apple cider vinegar treatment for 3 days now and nothing has happened. The wart has turned white, but it's not turning black or anything. I've been using a bandaid and soaked cotton ball on the wart for long periods of time, usually at least 5 hours during the day and then sleeping with it on at night. I'm surprised it hasn't turned black yet, it shows no signs of falling off.
In the mean time the rest of my skin is getting pretty burned and damaged from all the apple cider treatment. I'm not sure what to do, or how to make my wart come off. Also, I've not been using Hydrogen Peroxide like some people, just ACV. Does the HP really make a big difference in the treatment?

So I gave it a few more days and the ACV definitely did work! I think I was expecting it to work in 3 days because it did for some, but everyones bodies are different. Mine worked in about 5 days. I really started to see a difference using a Q-Tip instead of a cotton ball. Since I only had one very small wart, the cotton ball burned a lot of my good skin. My wart was at the very opening of my vagina which was an extremely hard spot to get a band-aid to stick. Instead what I did was applied ACV to the end of a q-tip and held it onto the wart for just about 10 minutes every day. The direct pressure on the wart itself made all the difference.
Don't freak out if your wart does not turn black, mine didn't. It stayed white, and eventually got smaller, until I could just scrape it away. Today, it appeared to be completely gone. I'm hoping it stays gone and that I don't have another out-break in the future, but if I do, at least I know I have this wonderful site to post my ordeal on. You are all beautiful & strong people for getting through this!

I got my warts zapped twice w/ liquid nitrogen, but they came back (note: not as much, though! Seems to have helped).
Well, after two months without sex with my boyfriend (long-distance AND I was out of the country for a month!), we finally did the dirty.
Ohhh, Lord, I knew something wasn't right-- it hurt, right up against my vaginal walls. Ughhh. I had a feeling I had internal warts, even though the external ones were gone.
I've been reading here about the extreme methods people go through-- keeping apple cider vinegar on for 24 hours or overnight. I'm trying to be really gentle because I don't want to do any damage/scarring.
I soaked a small cotton pad with 2 parts water, 1 part ACV and rolled it up and stuck it in my vagina for two hours. I took it out and there were definitely some white areas. Gross.
I'm planning on doing 2 hours for three times a day (maybe less... don't want to overdo it-- although is it less effective if you spread it out like that?)
QUESTIONS:
- The tampon thing, does it work if you insert a tampon normally or do you need it closer to the opening of the vagina b/c the warts are there? How many other girls have tried this? I know Lola has, but I want to hear if others have, too.
- Has anyone had a wart outbreak after a cut in their skin? It seems like every time my boyfriend and I have sex, my perineum tears (the area between the vagina and the anus). Instead of healing, I started getting a growth in its place, like a half an inch long. That's when I was diagnosed. I feel like that's what caused these outbreaks by allowing the virus to enter or something.
Anyways! Any help would be wonderful.

I wouldn't be too much help on your first question, but you are right about your second. When you have a cut on your skin, small or large, it makes it much easier for warts to start growing there. I have found that by constantly applying hydrogen peroxide, and vitamin E oil, 2-3 times a day, helps a lot from preventing further growths. Also try to keep the area as dry as possible.

Reporting back on this--
I didn't have any conclusive evidence with the apple cider vinegar when used on internal genital warts.
I used a diluted solution with a tampon for 6 hours (broken up into 2 parts) for 2 days, plus put ACV on cotton balls and stuffed it into the opening of my vagina. I didn't see any discharge or any indication that the ACV was working, so I stopped because it hurt too badly.
The ACV also burned my skin and the inside of my vagina-- I went to the free clinic to see if they could zap any warts and when the doctor put the speculum in, I was practically screaming because I was so tender.
I've also been taking so many vitamins: B-complex, garlic, beta carotene, multivitamin, echinacea. I've kept up with this regimen.
Finally, yesterday I found a liquid vitamin E at Wegmans, a supermarket. Instead of putting the drops under my tongue as directed, I've been laying on my back on my bed and insert the dropper into my vagina-- this way, the vitamin E can go far in, perfect for those hard-to-reach warts.
I think my warts are getting better-- when I insert the dropper or feel around with some toilet paper, it doesn't hurt as much as it used to.
On a side note, my external warts haven't been back since, thank God. Not sure why that is.
Hope this provides some extra ideas!

I have tried the acv for weeks, and i couldnt stand it anymore, was actually crying from the pain, i would fear to go to bed at night, cause thats when i taped the acv cotton pad to myself.when i took it off it would throb for hours. the thing is it worked but so slow that i lost the determination to carry on.
mine was pretty bad, it started off as small little bumps and i left it, but after a surgery i had i was in shock to what i witnessed down there, it became disgusting thick coliflower clusters just by the opening of my vagina, i was horrified.
but in anyway i decided to buy 100% tca, and was very scared to use it the 1st time, but now im so happy that i did, it doesnt burn as much as the acv and you leave it on for 2 to 3 min i leave it on for 5 to make sure the buggers get killed. then you take a shower was the remaining off and you will start peeling in 1 to 2 days, you do this every 2nd day, youll see it getting smaller and smaller without any effort.but if your considering this rather do it on the clusters and big ones and dont do it inside just on the outside you can really hurt yourself, i would never have thought in a million years that i would use acid down there....but things like this drive you to do crazy things...
EC: TCA = Trichloroacetic Acid. More about it on WebMD.

Karl from Vegas, From what you described that kind of sounds like the type I have. I started with acv and got rid of about 50% of the warts, but the ones that looked like bug bites were barely affected. I have tried aldera, acid burn, freeze off, home wart remover, and nothing seemed to work on those.
I did a lot of research and found it is best to attack the virus inside as well as outside. Start taking FOLIC ACID, GARLIC PILLS, MULTIVITAMINS, and ECHINACEA. Also apply TEA TREE OIL and VITAMIN E OIL to the skin 2-3 times a day. Also get a lot of sleep and drink a lot of water. This method will take about 3-6 weeks depending on your body. It sounds like a lot but this really works and will only cost you $40-$50. I had around 50 warts, and after 3 years I am almost wart free, stick with it and you will too. Good luck!

I'm gonna wait one more day before I continue the treatment...the area was real sore and tender from the ACV "burning" the area - no visible damage, just very tender....I'm thinking a couple of more treatments on the few remaining warts and I should be ready to go.
I can't believe how well this worked - the stinging was bad, but not near as bad as the stigma attached to having the warts.... I was way too embarrassed to go to the doctor and was just hoping these things would go away on their own - they didn't. Anyhow, try it...it works!

hi D, sounds like the root of the wart... if the surrounding skin is pink, new, and/or tender, then let it heal. 3-7 days should be sufficient. you'll know when it feels good. then try to pinpoint the roots or "pimples" with Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV). It seems a cotton swab or Q-tip, soaked in ACV and held with direct pressure for about 15 min 2-3 times a day for 3 days. If painful, stop applying and rest. wait 2-4 days for results. IF any roots or "pimples" remain, repeat treatment. Much love, prayers and healing.

I immediately went out and bought some hydrogen peroxide and some apple cider vinegar. It cost me about $6 altogether and after the first night the warts were a whitish color, second night of treatment the turned completely black, 3rd night no change so i decided to stop treatment and let them dry out as I heard that once black it means they are dead.
By day 5 the black warts fell off completely leaving my penis completely smooth with no scarring whatsoever and I am absolutely amazed.
This remedy absolutely works, takes little to no time and doesnt hurt half as bad as some people seem to say.
