Hello everyone. I am 37 yr old male. 6 yrs ago I found out that I had a wart on my anus. I have been prescribed aldara and it didn't work. All it did was eritate my skin and caused burning and itching and bleeding.. I was so tired of it that I scheduled surgery to get it off in december 2012. Today is dec. 10th 2012.. I went online and did research and noticed alot of stories about people's success with different products. I have since cancelled my surgery so that I can get some advice from people with the same situation...
here goes, I have a very large wart on my anus.. It is the size of a half dollar , but is flat with flaps and kind of fat... It is redish not skin colored. And it itches and bleeds on occasion. Especially after doing #2 sometimes.. I just started using aloe vera gel a month ago.. I bought a mirror that I lay on the groung so that I can see it better.. When I squat down and look at it I notice a few areas of the wart are white.. I don't know if that is because the aloe vera gel is working slowly or not. ( what does it mean when it starts turning white).. soon I am going to try Apple Cider Vinegar for an hour or so at a time daily. Then wash. I have also bought tea tree oil, which I am going to use first with the aloe vera gel before using acv. I am really disgusted with myself. I had them burned off my happy stick in 1998 when I 1st got them.
Then in 2005 noticed it on my anus. Thought it was hemrhoids, but it wasn't.. I would like advice from people who have literally had them on the anus and what they did to remove them and what the process before and after were like for them... Today I am going to buy vitamins and healthier food.. Also going to buy vitamin e oil, castor oil, aspirin etc... Until I find a remedy that works for me...
Anyone who can help, please give me some advice.. These doctors never believe this stuff works. They would rather see money go in there pockets instead of a health store.. If I can spend up to $100 for at home products instead of up to $10,000 for surgery.. What would you do.. thanks for listening...

Being a guy I know EXACTLY how low you feel! I had the same problems years ago, came to this site, found a cure, tried it, and in a few days they started to fall off my anus with roots and all! I had a couple of them, and they have never returned.
Solution: apple cider vinegar! I kid you not.
Go read the testimonials here for genital warts involving ACV. All you have to do it place a moist cotton ball with ACV in the area at night time and sleep with it. It will burn you after a couple of days, so just step back and wait for it to heal, then over. Do this until it falls off. If the wart is big it may take a little longer. Mine turned black first, fell off after about a week, the root was white and it left a little hole in the area where it came from, which eventually healed with no scars.
Also, take a tablespoon of ACV in water twice a day in an empty stomach. Good luck!

Thanks for the info.. Can anyone tell me why the wart on my anus bleeds sometimes.. I use a aloe vera soaked cotton ball 3 to 4 times a day and tea tree oil at night.. I noticed some small parts of the wart are now white, but not falling off.. Also, after I take off the cotton ball to change it after a shower or using bathroom.. I notice brownish sometimes yellowish color on the cotton ball.. People say to try and keep it dry and warts thrive on moisture.. So how do you keep your anus dry.. The wart I have is very large and broke in 2.. I am going to try Apple Cider Vinegar and tea tree oil combo next.. I have been using aloe vera gel foe 6 weeks now. And tea tree oil at night for a week.. And no results.. The only thing I see is that it has a few parts that are white but not falling off... Any advice would be great.... I ain't getting results after 6 weeks.. I even take 1 a day mens pills... I eat alot of fruits and veggies and healthier to boost my immune system.. I smoke, but it's hard to quit.. need advice.. did anyone else take a few months to do these treatments...

I knew it wasn't the first one because a big ugly scar is still there from the surgery. Has this happened to anyone? I know the ACV works but I wonder if I stopped treating it too soon ie. when the wart disappears (I've never seen it drop off like others have) is it safe to stop. The surrounding area seems affected & there's nothing else to treat, but do I still apply ACV treatment? Its now a month later & I just want to make sure this is gone!

After reading this website for a day i am grearing up to try this GW remover remedy. what do i have to lose. i have had HPV and GW for 6 years.and this is my story - when i fist had discovered it i was horrified, suicidal, depressed, i had to tell my boyfriend (now husband) he was understanding. i had one large wart that was on the opening of my vagina removed it was froze off by a dr it turned white and a few days later fell off never to return. but i have always wanted to have a end to this all. Once in awhile i freak out and think am i getting anew one but never did. i have not noticed anything on the outside of my vagina in 6 yrs just feels really bumpy on the inside. so i am wanting to try the tampon soaked in ACV overnight and see what happens. i did place a cotten ball on my perinm (however u spell it) area and nothing happened this was on for a hour and 15 minutes burned but nothing turned white or black maybe i have no GW there. who knows, i however will try this agian tonght after i shower again. Also i took 2 oz of ACV into a large glass of water and sipped it for an hour. yes it tasted bad but i figured if it is helping from the outside in why not the inside out for me. i'll beat these GW from both sides. I do not have any progress as i jsut started this all this morning but i will keep everyone posted on my progress i am bound and determined to get rid of theese things after 6 years and to help anyone with these is my goal.
remember you are not alone anyone that u pass on the street prolly has these and doesn't know it. lets hope for a stop to these littel bastards. i am fighting for us all. i will post in a few days :) wish me luck.

I tried a cotton ball soaked in ACV on the area. I say area because I dont just have one wart I have a huge family of them right at the opening of my va-jay-jay and I feel like maybe mine is too bad for the ACV to help because everyone else seems to only have a few warts not big clusters. Anyway I did try it and it really hurt like hell but I stuck it out and left it on for a couple of hours a day for about three days but after three days I was so raw I couldnt do it again. That was about three weeks ago and I havent done it since. I douched with the ACV and It did help the ones inside but I havent relly noticed a difference in the ones around the opening except for a few days after the top layer of skin on some turned white and came off but thats about it. Maybe if I had continued with the treatments it would have done more but I was so raw and miserableI couldnt bring myself to do it again. I have a few ouestions if someone would PLEASE try to answer them for me any input would help because i am so sick and tired of this.It makes me feel dirty and I am married and my husband and I have always had a great sexlife but because of this I really dont him to see down there and im afraid it will hurt my marriage if I cant get rid of this. Anyway I have read where people drink the ACV and I tried it but I have a very sensitive stomach and couldnt hold it down but while I was at the drugstore getting all my other supplies I saw some ACV pills and I was just wondering if anyone else had tried them and if they are as strong as straight ACV and how many i should take at a time. Also is there any difference in the liquid garlic or the pills. My last question is about tea tree oil; is it just for soothing the area or will it help get rid of the warts. If anyone could answer these i would be extremly grateful.

I am currently applying one last application to ensure the wart is totally destroyed. My first and second application was not painful at all. The last application sting just a little bit. This pain is very light as I don't have high tolerance for pain. The only other thing to mention is that there is a small color change on skin right next to it. It is so small that this not much to worry about. I am sure it will heal in the next few days so I am not going to try to apply anything else to it after my last application.
I really appreciate all the feed and input from people on this site. I read quite a few before take this step. But this turn out so good that I owe it to all you to post my experience hoping that this can help others.

2) the scarring that occurs will it heal back to normal fully if i apply the vitamin e?
3) will drinking acv help prevent future outbreaks taking of course that applying it to the infected areas works first?

John, applying acv treatment over night and removing it in the morning will be sufficient to remove the warts. Remember it can take much longer than 3 days so give it time :)
I didn't have ANY scarring at all and I used the vitamin e oil with acv treatment. It can also be a good idea to apply vitamin e oil in the morning, after you have removed the bandage and showered and whatnot.
As for acv consumption preventing future warts, I'm sorry I can't say. The best thing you can do is to clear the virus. Take your vitamins, exercise, don't smoke or drink.
If you have any questions, do visit http://www.medhelp.org/forums/show/196
Good luck! :)

1.how can i treat the warts inside my vagina? without damaging anything!!!the acv sounds abit harsh.
can i use garlic and leave it there over night? has anyone tried this? and how will i know that its gone completly?
2.Does your immune system eventually clear the virus?
3.should i just persist even though its burning the living S... out of me, cause i dont see much difference in the rest of the warts and ive been using the agv over night like once a week
4.im just confused what am i doing wrong??
hope anyone can shed some light on this as this is emotionally draining me.Im aslo scared that i might getter cancer from this as i did not go to the docter, im waiting for the warts to go away before i will go for a pap smear.

YES! This totally works! I am so excited because I didn't really expect it to work at all, but figured I'd give it a shot anyway. I have been self-conscious about this for a long time and now it's completely gone! I am so pleased!
While most people state their wart was removed within 3 or 4 days, my treatment took 9 days. I think this is because I'd had the wart for a long time (6 years) and it was quite large. I did not have the same trouble a lot of people mentioned with this treatment. It was really easy and totally convenient for me. I never developed any raw skin as a result of the treatment. I did have a little burning after the first few days, but only for 10-15 minutes and it wasn't bad AT ALL!
Here's what I did- at night I'd apply VITAMIN E OIL to the area surrounding the wart using a q-tip. I tried to be careful not to get any on the wart. I think this is why I did not experience any discomfort during the treatment. Then I'd apply a very small (just large enough to cover the wart) ball of cotton that was soaked in Apple Cider Vinegar. Then I'd cover it with a bandaid. In the morning I'd shower and apply the vitamin E oil again to the surrounding skin.
My wart did not just simply fall off, but I'd see discolored pieces of it and knew they were ready to come off. So I'd pick at it really gently and the pieces would come right off. After doing this for over a week, the wart finally became so small it eventually rolled right off of my skin when I pushed it with my finger.
I hope this helps! If you're anything like me, you're thinking this treatment might not work for you but TRY IT! It really works! And if you think you might experience skin discomfort, try vitamin E oil with your treatment!

This cure did work to remove the warts, but I replaced them with scars that are even uglier!! Does anybody have any advice on healing these scars? The only cures I can find are directed at lightening dark scars, whereas my scar is very light color and the surrounding skin is much darker. I need to get rid of these!! :(

He's a nice guy, he gave me a free one-month supply of Aldara (the rest I would need to buy at the pharmacy $$$), told me to apply it 3 nights a week at bedtime, not to have sex for 3-6 months and most importantly, "You're gonna be ok."
Normally, I'm a confident, athletic, yet easy going, 31 year old male. Even with my customary attitudes and the Doc's re-assurance, I was depressed... 3-6 months?!? I couldn't barely stand to look at these 3 GW's on my penis' shaft for another 3 minutes! So, I walked home dejected, disappointed and depressed.
I couldn't just sit and wait so I started surfing the internet until I came to the cdc website. It states that in 90% of cases the virus will be suppressed in 1-2 years. This made me feel slightly better.
Then I came to earthclinic.com. I was happily surprised and further comforted when I read each and every entry for GW remedies... Thank you to every one of you for sharing. Whenever I start to feel upset about this virus, I re-read All of the entries again. Since I don't feel comfortable talking about this with any friends or family, re-reading helps my mood knowing that I'm not alone.
My regiment: I cut a bad-aid in-half, the long way so to make it narrower. Then pulled a q-tip ball off the stick, trimmed with scissors and dipped it in ACV.
Then placed the ACV soaked q-tip ball on GW and covered with the thin cut band-aid. I covered each GW this way and did this for 3 consecutive nights before bed.
Now it is day 4. One GW has scabbed up and looks like it'll fall off in a day or so (promising). One has turned red with a small black dot in the center (not sure what to think of this one). And the last one is a deep purple along with all the surrounding skin (not good, think I've damaged the skin. I hope it doesn't scar).
For the rest of the day today, before bed tonight and Day 5 I'll be piercing a vitamin E capsule and spreading liquid center on GW's in hopes of healing skin.
I've also been cleaning with hydrogen-peroxide after showering.
A few questions:
1. Has anyone had their wives / girlfriends get the female only approved vaccination? Will this prevent future significant others from getting this annoying virus and GW's?
I'd be very disappointed in myself if I knowingly gave this to a future girlfriend / wife.
2. How do you know when/if it's ever safe to have sex with long term partner without a condom?
All my doctor did was give me a bandage wrapped in white vinegar and look for white spots.
3. Has anyone spoken to a sexual health counselor?
4. Any other recommendations as far as my current regiment?
5. What are some success stories concerning longest time without any recurrence. I read one writer say 8 years.
I'm thankful to earthclinic.com and everyone who has shared their experiences and encouragement. I will post again in a few days and am hopeful that I can add to the groups success stories.

To anonymous from Norfolk with HPV:
Hello anonymous,
Since the V in HPV stands for virus, I would say that L-lysine 2 grams (2000 mgms) mealtimes and bedtime should be worth a try since it is known to work againt many viruses inluding Herpes simplex and Herpes Zoster (shingles).
You can find this at any health food store Or just about anywhere vitamins, minerals and supplements are found.

HPV cannot be cured. The body suppresses it eventually, often in 1-2 years depending on the strain. For now, boosting your immune system by eating healthy and exercising is the only option.
There are tea tree oil suppositories available that I've read help with cervical dysplasia. I myself was diagnosed with mild cervical dysplasia yesterday when my pap came back abnormal. I have not tried this, but I am thinking about it.

Last night I ran to the store to get a plethora of supplies. ACV, Hydrogen Peroxide, Cottonballs, tape, vitamin E, garlic capsuls, A&D ointment - I'm sure I looked like I was doing an experiment!! I came home and bathed in warm water for about 15-20 mins. Got out, dried the area, cleansed it with HP and then applied cotton balls with ACV on it and WHOA kinda burned!! At first it was okay and it progressively got a little more uncomfortable. I got used to it and could not even believe what I saw when I removed the cotton --- all my GW were bright WHITE even one of the larger ones had turned grey!!! I couldn't believe this. I knew it was working. I only had left it on for about an hour and this is what I saw. I didn't want to leave it over night because I thought that might be too much at first. I'm glad I didn't. This morning I woke up and owie!! My vaginal opening (where I had one larger one) is soo sore and swollen. It really hurt. I took another bath and then after getting out tried to do more ACV and NO WAY!!! I did it on a few of them, including one silly one near my bum and another one up above my clitoris. These were okay for a while, but my vag couldn't handle it! Poor thing! So I took Laura from NC's advice and I'm trying the Vitamin E - I took capsuls and pierced them and took the get and rubbed it all over my labia and inside my vag. It feels so much better.
So that's where I'm at!!!
Anyone have any advice about applying ACV again tonight? Should I try it? If it burns like crazy - like I feel like I'm going to cry, should I still do it??? I do have a high pain threshhold, so it is BAD!! LET ME KNOW!!!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!! ESPECIALLY EARTH CLINIC!!!

Christy,
Happy to know this place made a difference for you. it did for me, big time.
Not sure what size cotton balls you are using but the regualer ones covered a wider area then needed for me. I found that using the tips of cotton swabs works better as it leavs the other parts of the "healthy skin intact. it makes the treatment more specific and the whole area heals faster.
Just my 2 cents...
Keep us posted and hang in there, personally I know how NOT easy it is to keep this "secret".

ACV Treatment Cont.
Well it's been 5 days since I first started treatment and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with how things are going. The three day miracle that I was hoping for didn't exactly come true, but I am well on my way!! I'm choosing to do the slowly but surely method of things instead of ripping my skin apart trying to get rid of these things overnight. The past few days I did a couple 'spot treatments' at the reccommendation of Mr. E (THANK YOU!!) using cotton swab tips and ACV. I left them in place for about an hour. A couple times I felt like I could pass out from the burning/stinging, but I stuck it out. I was pretty tender today so I chose to forego much ACV - just on one spot that creeped up, but it's tiny and I think that should be gone soon. I did have some skin that got a little burned right outside of my vaginal opening so I have been spot treating it with A&D ointment and it's feeling way better.
I've also been bathing lots in warm water and then keeping the entire area dry and clean with hydrogen peroxide. I've also been taking a shot of ACV in a glass of water in the mornings (tastes like hell, but whatever) as well as garlic and vitamin e tablets in addition to the multivitamin that I always take. I'm also really watching my diet and exercising everyday. I did so some Vitamin E treatments yesterday but really kept it simple today with just a little ACV because, again, I don't want to do any real damage! I will probably do another round of ACV maybe tomorrow or the following day.
I'm worried about internal warts at this point. Has anyone tried douching with ACV? I've never douched because as it's said not to be such a good thing, but I figure it wouldn't be a bad idea all things considered. Ladies - let me know if you've done this and how you went about it and what your results were! THANKS ALL!! I'll be back to report in a few days!

I also thought about using a tampon soaked in ACV but I was afraid it would destory all the "good" bacteria too or get raw in there and how in the world would you get an ointment to treat it up there good? I was wanting the ones gone on the inside gone so Bad though that I decided to try douching with it. So I mixed about 2 parts distilled water with about 1 part vinager. That was last night and this morning when I checked alot of dead white nasty looking skin came out and Im just hoping I havent hurt myself and thats just the warts eating away. Im new to all this and only started the ACV treatments yesterday but I am really hopeful that its gonna work out. When I put the ACV on the outside for a couple of hours yesterday the tips was a little white but not much else had changed so I Soaked cotton balls in tea tree oil that I had picked up at the pharmacy with my many other supplies. Anyway, I put the soaked cotton balls on the area of clusters and covered it wiyh gauze and taped it all down. I left it on for about four hours and when I started feeling really raw I took it off and lots was white then when I got up this morning all kinds of white stuff was coming off my "butterfly" At first I thought it was the ointment I had put on but then I realized it was dead skin off the warts. I took a bath and cleand the area and put more tea tree oil on but I plan to switch out tonight with ACV cause I really dont know which one is working but im just glad SOMETHING is working, But if anyone has tried the tampon soaked in ACV PLEASE let me know the results. THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT POSTED ON THIS SITE ITS REALLY TOOK A LOAD OFF MY MIND AND NOW I DONT FEEL SO ALONE!

No...Let the area heal. When I first used ACV, I went all out and kept the bandage there for a day or 2 straight. That is a bad idea, because the acid is literally eating the (good)skin off your body. I have figured out that if you keep it on overnight, it usually does the trick. Wait a day or 2 and see what the condition is, and re-apply if you have to. In my experience, with small ones, the wart will scab over about 24 hours after the first application. Neosporin is usually good to put on the area. I know you probably want to get rid of them NOW, but dont rush it... because you will do some serious harm to your skin. Trust me.
