Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

Just put a little polysporin on the spot and wrapped it and went to bed.. There was a small crater where it was but after the swelling went down from the ACV treatment you couldn't even tell where it was or that it existed. Never came back. I'm a healthy guy, eat healthy. Sure that helps. So, bummer. I found this tiny bump in another spot and put some ACV on it, and that tiny bump has grown into a huge white spot ....again. Like its hiding Guess round 2. But at least I know its going to work and when its gone, it's gone.

Here's what I did. I kept a small container near the toilet and I put little pieces of rolled up cotton in the ACV. I'd take one out and put it directly on the wart. I know this is graphic but here is where it was. The wart was on my labia major but almost on a fold that turned into the labia minor. It was a weird spot. I'd arrange the cotton on the wart and then fold my labia to cover it and hold it there for however long it would stay there.

It kinda burned and felt uncomfy but I kept up with it. The dimensions got smaller within a few days. By day 5 I couldn't feel it anymore but I continued to put ACV on the spot because I felt there was perhaps a bit more under the skin. So far so good!! All gone. I had a wart removed from that same spot 6 yrs ago... so it seems it is a reoccurring virus.

I did try tea tree essential oil during the first round but the TTO did not make such fast gains as the apple cider vinegar.

At my first visit the lady froze everything she believed to be a wart, and has told me to come back next week but I'm very proactive and I do believe in home remedies so I have been having baths with apple cider vinegar Teatree Bicarb of soda and castor oil and soaking for as long as I can I've also been putting raw Braggs apple cider vinegar directly onto my vagina with a cotton wool pad and leaving it on for about 15 minutes. (Yes I have burnt myself!)

The first tiny wart that I found has now dropped off, the second one is looking a bit sick but I came up with some new tiny weenie little pinhead ones that have now disappeared, clearly because of the a ACV! I now think I've come up with one on my anus which is lovely!!! But to be honest I am not letting this get me down and you shouldn't either. It's just warts! It's not the end of the world they will go away and your immune system will suppress the virus eventually and you will not pass it on! Chickenpox is a virus when you catch it you are extremely contagious but your body fight the virus and suppresses it and even though you will have that virus for the rest of your life you will not pass it on, genital warts is exactly the same principle!! I am literally 2 weeks into my experience and I'm determined to stay positive I will get rid of these little fuckers and then get on with the rest of my life! And even at the ripe old age of 51 I've learnt a very important lesson, to respect my body enough to only share it with someone I really really care about, Because that one shag for fun was absolutely not worth all this!!!!

Good luck my lovelies, and stay positive! Xx

P.s I kept it short but bear in mind that you are not alone. I was very depressed and took anti depressant pills. But, know I know that GW are almost gone, it feels like I have a brand new vagina in 2 weeks treatment. Best of luck!

I know someone who had a similar experience. The small bit that was left just stayed that way, is still that way many years later. The doctor who examined it was not concerned about it.

They immediately went white and it did sting. I did 2 hours each night and one hour in the morning. I'm on my 4th day and half of the cluster is gone. I started tearing up I couldn't believe it. THIS IS LEGIT! I never saw them fall off, I was just doing my progress check up and they were gone!! I've done nothing else to treat me like hydrogen peroxide or tea tree oil. Just apple Cidar. Couldn't be more stoked!

Here are the procedures I did:

1. Pour Hydrogen Peroxide to the affected area for disenfection.
2. Dab a Qtip with ACV (get one with "the Mother", just enough that it won't leak to unaffected areas. Hold it down to the wart. Be careful not to touch healthy skin for it will also burn. During the first day, I didn't feel any sting yet but the wart will turn white. Press on the wart for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. After pressing on the wart with ACV, pour Hydrogen peroxide again to keep it bacteria free.
4. Do this procedure twice a day. Once in the morning and again in the evening. The sting will begin when the skin is already burned and open by ACV. Just tolerate it for it is bearable. Better endure it than being miserable.
5. When the wart turns grey or black, it means it is dead. Stop the ACV treatment. For me it just took 3 days because mine was just small ones (not bigger than pieces of rock salt).
6. Now you will start to heal the burned skin. It will leave a white open wound.
7. Pour Hydrogen Peroxide to the wound. Then wipe it dry with a tissue paper.
8. Massage the wound with Virgin Coconut Oil twice a day. Leave it after massaging, don't wipe it dry. Believe me, Virgin Coconut oil is also a God send because when I woke up one day it already healed the wound as if nothing happened. I think it only took 3 days after I stopped the ACV and started the VCO treatment when it healed.

That's it. It is quick, inexpensive and it works! I hope this helps someone who is as devastated as I was when I realized I got these warts. But cheer up, God and mother nature also sent some magic.

So I then panicked and started inspecting my penis a few times a day. I noticed a couple of small circles on the glans that were brownish in color and another larger one at the bottom of the glans that was skin color. I started spreading the skin and inspected the circle. It resembled a flat wart, but I couldn't be sure. So I started applying ACV to that and a few red spots that appeared near that larger spot and some of them did turn white, then after a couple of days, they turned greyish/black, but none of them have fallen off after 3 days of ACV treatments. So I applied a gauze pad with ACV on it over that specific area of the glans overnight last night. Now I am seeing more black areas and several little black dots within the area that was covered. I am thinking these can't all be warts. Now I am freaking out that I have damaged my skin somehow. I don't think this is HSV because none of the spots hurt or oosed any fluid for days before I started treatment.

Does anyone know why there are so many black areas on my glans after doing this? Please help ... I am very very concerned.

July 07 UPDATE: Today, one day after posting this, I noticed that much of the black areas flaked away and there is fresh pink skin underneath, but the larger spot I mentioned that was black has now turned white. Perhaps it has turned back to white from black because I have covered in w/a bandaid for 2 days straight? Can this really be a wart and, if so, does it mean because it went from black to white that it still needs to be treated w/ACV to finally kill it all? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

I put ACV directly on the warts, diluted with water (the first time I didn't dilute it and geeze did it hurt) and if you have vitamin E all over the area it helps to protect the healthy skin. I have some around my vulva and vaginal opening only, so it's important for me to make sure I don't hurt the sensitive tissues. I'm super thankful for the vitamin E. The other day I noticed one pop up near my urethra. This was after leaving vitamin e on the area for like 45min. Then I treated with ACV. The vitamin e not only helped the burning sensation, but made the treatment a lot more bearable.

Then, I decided I would soak in a bath with ACV to see what would happen. This was the best thing ever. I put about 2.5 cups in the water with some coconut oil and soaked for an episode and a half of Supernatural. There was little burning down there, and only a temporary tingling sensation on my legs and hands. Just be careful when showering after the bath to remove the ACV if you use coconut oil! The bathtub will be EXTREMELY slippery, and I suggest scrubbing the tub before you shower. Anyway, the next morning I had, I'm assuming, one of the newly blackened warts fall off into the toilet (I don't think there could be any other explanation), and throughout the day I kept wiping off little brown/black things. The major warts I noticed were gone and it was only a night! Granted, I had been treating them topically for a few days, but soaking in a bath instead was extremely helpful and faster acting, maybe because I was in the bath for longer. I will definitely be doing the ACV bath at least once a week from now on and I highly recommend it.

I'm diluting the ACV before applying it, but I think it's causing some mild sores and I am bleeding a little in some areas, but it's only barely and is only seen on a q-tip when I dab the area. Unless these sores were from new warts trying to show up but I got them before they formed, or I burned healthy skin... I'm just going to let myself heal some. Pretty much the entire area except a few spots turns white, but I want to take it easy so I don't cause damage. It totally got rid of a smaller wart in a day and I only applied the ACV for maybe 20 minutes full strength. I was examining myself yesterday and noticed a cluster of a few (suprisingly in the shape of a flower haha) and they were definitely smaller today, but then one showed a little bit of growth, but I'm not super concerned about that. They are just in really awkward spots to hold a cotton ball on overnight, so I just go for like 20-30 min at a time. I think it will work in due time, and my itching is already much much better. If I didn't do a thorough examination of myself I wouldn't have even noticed I had them and would have assumed it was another yeast infection. I really do hope the thing ACV will help, and I'm really trying to get over the fact that I have HPV. I've been very depressed about it lately, so I hope it all clears up soon.

Apple Cider Vinegar or ACV as people refer to really does work but if you apply it wrong, too concentrated or for too long then it will sting and burn and very painful for days. DO NOT apply it for long periods. Saying this I would say a few minutes at most each time.

At first you won't get a stinging sensation but the head of the wart will whiten. Once this has happened the wart will leach the ACV to the base and that's when it will start to sting. Let it sting but not hurt for a couple of minutes a couple of times a day for about 3 days. To start off with apply the treatment to a single wart so that you can see the effect it really has as this will give you the courage to just take it slow and you will rid yourself of them. Once confident you can judge how fast to proceed. Do not stick concentrated ACV into your anus or Vagina as you WILL suffer. Start off with 1 to 4 ACV to Distilled Water (Just boil and let it cool). You should get a tingle once it is working. if not then leave it a day and use 1 to 3 solution down to max 1 to 1 solution (50 / 50).
Again once you feel the tingle it means that the solution is inside at the base of the wart and doing its work. 5 to 10 minutes of tingling should do the work. If it starts to burn then STOP and don't reapply treatment until after itching/healing has lightened. If you have burned yourself then you have wasted time and the treatment. It will still work but you have to stop for some time and not cure all of them. In the Vagina use a tampon, in the Anus use a cotton ball. If you get little black blood spots on the cotton ball or tampon then that means you have killed some warts before they have had a chance to develop, that's a good thing, re-apply those a couple of days later and if no black blood spots means you got them. My problem was.. how far do you go and when do I stop.. It is actually very simple.. Let's start over... Dab the Wart with ACV (Do it on a test wart) You will know its a wart as within a couple of minutes of contact with ACV it will turn white. (If it doesn't then leave it alone and seek medical advice) Once it is white give it about 20 minutes untouched to develop the weak surface (head) then apply ACV until it starts to tingle or sting (tingle = good, sting = not so good as your doing more damage) after a few minutes you will see the base of the ward blacken. Once it has blackened leave it alone and keep it dry. The dark colour or spots mean that the root is dying and just wait for it to drop off by itself. It is not a good idea to rub it off as you may end up with some of the root surviving. Really it will just drop off like a scab in its own time. 3 to 5 days. OK, I was unsure if I missed some on my penis or scrotum etc. so this is what I did... If you don't have hidden warts then when washing with ACV won't hurt or sting unless you get it in your urethra or on your clitoris so be careful. Holding a soaked cloth with ACV about 20 seconds on each area will either reveal as a white spot or a black blood spot on your cloth as this indicates that you need to treat those areas. I must point out that HPV is only one form of Virus that causes warts and in any case do not mean that you have been infected by sexual contact. I would like to stress this. However, in many cases, it can be. Sometimes a lack of good diet of deficiency in Zinc and trigger warts. Warts are Virii and hate Zinc.

I don't know which form I had and the ACV worked a treat though I really burned myself and it lasted over a week to heal and still I suffer with after itching. Don't go mental with ACV, It will work even slowly, slowly without pain. I tried Creams and none worked, I thought it might have been fungal, I tried Tea Tree Oil and it tingled but nothing happened but straight away when using ACV results immediately.

1) Apply ACV (Diluted to your tolerance) test with concentrated with cotton bud on one so that you see what to look for.
2) Head on Wart turns white after a few minutes of contact with ACV.
3) Apply ACV again and within minutes the base of the wart will redden and start to turn black.
4) Don't pick the scab and let it fall off by itself.

Warning.. Be aware that when you treat your anus you need to be able to use this every day so don't burn yourself there. Likewise in your vagina, if you intend to have sex it will be painful if you burn yourself and without having the need to say.. we all have to walk around. I was stuck on the sofa for a week and it was horrible.
Please use my tips carefully and you won't suffer as I did.
Forget numbing creams as it only lasts for moments but if you burn then it will keep coming back. Just don't burn yourself in the first place. Wart Peace my Friends.

Dear Perry: Not all natural therapies work because the organism inside the warts are different. A rather broad spectrum killing of warts I would prefer to use is" hydrogen peroxide 1% applied directly to the warts for about 1-3 minutes then, this is followed by 50% tea tree oil and 50% lavender oil soaked with a small cotton balls. The bandage is then taped over it overnight and you repeat the entire steps again with hydrogen peroxide, then tea tree oil and lavender for at least two to three weeks for warts to at least be reduced. If the above simple methods don't work we may need to go for a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide at 3% which may sting a bit. If the warts do have a presence of fungus then you may need to add a saturated borax to the 1% hydrogen peroxide before application. Whichever the case, if this remedy do not work as well within 1-3 days try to increase the hydrogen peroxide slowly to 2% then 3%. You should not go beyond 3% as the 3% is already too strong anyway. For most applications, I think a reasonable concentration is 1.5%.

I never write reviews but I really want to because the ACV trick will turn things around.

I'm not going to lie, going straight to the doctor and having my worst fears confirmed, I felt sick. It is very hard to take and accept...all sorts of things run through your head. After shaving completely down there and in good light, I was mortified to see at 13 of these disgusting looking things in my pubic region, mainly on the right side of the shaft. I started using the cream prescribed and after 1 week of nothingness, I was stressing. Mainly because I was about to go on a big vacation over the new year period.

I started the intense ACV treatment late November and these are the Do's and Dont's

First of all, the ACV has to be "with the mother" I tried the other stuff and it didn't work, thank god I gave the other stuff a go before giving up.

I found the most effective method for me was simply just using q tips as opposed to cotton balls and band aids. the problem with the latter is that you cant maintain pressure on the wart and when it comes time to remove the band aid...it hurts so much..f that

Dab the q tip in Apple Cider Vinegar and press down on the wart so that no Apple Cider Vinegar runs off anywhere else. I found 10 minutes is enough time needed, going longer made no difference. The wart will be white upon removal, then slowly return to skin color. If it doesn't turn white, it's not a wart.

I would do this once in the morning and again at night before sleep, I experimented with multiple times a day to see if I could speed up the whole process but it made no difference for me.

I noticed on the second night the wart would start to go greyish and by the 3rd night be almost black.

Once it goes black, it no longer responds to the ACV. As in, it won't go white after another 10 minute session...its dead. Leave it. it should get a little smaller on day 4 then on day 5 or 6...its gone!

What not to do: after it goes black after 3 or 4 days, don't try and speed things up by making it fall off by touching it or running too much hot water over it in the shower. If it comes off too early before the new skin grows under it properly, good chance it'll get infected. Happened a few times...because I was in a rush to get rid of them. I had to go on antibiotics to fix that. So for me, from the moment I spot one, I know in 6 days its completely gone and unnoticeable.

This "don't" was scary.

Don't leave the Apple Cider Vinegar on the skin of your penis for too long! .. when I first started the treatment, I had cotton balls of Apple Cider Vinegar everywhere trying to kill the 13 of them, 1 of them was on the penis itself. I can't remember how long I left it..maybe 30 to 40 mins...took it off to see the skin on my dick like a prawn...acv will burn..that skin is a lot more sensitive than other areas. that took about 3 weeks to completely heal.

Once I worked out what works best for me, I could get rid of a new one in 5 days. I noticed after getting rid of all 13,1 would come back every week..but as time passed, they are appearing less and less. 6 months later (today) the longest I've gone is 7 weeks without one coming back. Id love to hear from someone whos been doing this for longer.

I will update again in 6 months

The next morning I showered, and dabbed the vinegar mix on again. This time it HURT...but I was determined to give it a good try. Cleaned with peroxide, applied my oil, and went to work. Everytime I went to toilet I cleaned myself with peroxide and reapplied the oil as needed. That night took a shower, and looked. The warts were white, but some looked like little craters, like the little wart had fallen out and just the surrounding skin was left. Excited to see progress, I dabbed my Apple Cider Vinegar cotton ball again. Not kidding...this time made me cry...Very painful. Applied my oil and went to bed.

The next morning I showered and took a look. The warts were white, I had several tiny craters, and some tiny spots bleeding. I did my little routine again. And went to work with my little bottles of oil and peroxide. That evening I showered and took a look. Everything was red and irritated except for little white warts and craters and some small little bloody pinpoints. I decided to take a break and just cleaned with peroxide and applied my oil then went to bed.

The next day everything looks waterlogged, swollen, and angry, so I decide to give it a rest and let things heal up a bit. Over the next couple of days the warts continued to come off, and the ITCHING...whoa...the itching was awful.

I plan to let things heal a couple more days, then repeat the process until all are gone. Currently everything seems to be drying up..the little warts that are left are very hard now but a white, grey color. It's been a total of 7 days since I started.
