I took a cotton ball and saturated it in diluted ACV (about half and half, maybe a little more ACV than water). Then, I stuck it right inside the opening to cover the ones within that 1 inch region. I left it there for about an hour or so, maybe a little longer. I figured that since it's such a sensitive area, I'd better not do it too often. So then I took it out and left it alone for about 2 hours, then I stuck another one (same solution) in and left it for about 20 or so minutes, then took it out. After these treatments my labia was SO SWOLLEN and it was definitely burning a lot and then subsiding after a little while, then it would get bad again. So then, I took some Vitamin E capsules I bought and poked a hole in them and rubbed them all around my labia, then inserted one all the way up in my va-jay-jay, and the other right inside the first 1 inch region so it could break and run down and coat that area.
The next day, my labia was very raw looking, so I decided maybe I shouldn't do the ACV again, so I just repeated the Vitamin E treatment the same way as before. (ladies you may want to put a small panty liner in your panties so that when the vitamin E drips down it doesn't get all sticky/hard in your panties.
The next day, I woke up and looked at it and it looked really gross! Almost like a chunky, white discharge! I hopped in the shower and washed really well down there, got out, and ALL of the warts that were in the first part of my vagina are GONE! It looked all chunky and white because those were the warts sloughing off! I thought the warts inside would turn black and fall off too, but this area is so wet and moist they just turn really white and then turn almost cheesy like (i know, SO gross) and you can wipe them right off! I was astounded.
There are 1 or 2 more deeper inside my vagina, almost to the cervix. So I'm going to repeat the vitamin E until they go away. If they do not, I'm going to try a new treatment I've found.
If the vitamin E doesn't work or you don't want to put the ACV there, try tea tree oil suppositories. We've all heard about the tea tree oil remedy for the outside part, but I had no idea that they had tea tree oil suppositories too! I looked them up a little bit more, and found that many women actually use them to prevent or treat cervical dysplasia and genital warts on the inside. Just take a suppository, and stick it right on up as far as you can. I'm not sure how often to repeat this treatment, but it probably says so on the bottle. They're sold at most stores like Whole Foods, herbal drug stores, places like that.
I really hope I could help you guys out! If anybody has any issues, just shoot me an email because I know how hard it is to be in this situation.. especially when you're a complete health nut like me, are not promiscuous, and never thought anything like this would ever happen to you. Just realize that this is not life-threatening and it's not the end of the world! You're not alone, just look at this forum and you can see how common GW are! Thanks SO MUCH Earth Clinic, I really have no idea what I would have done without you!

around 5 months ago I have noticed a small bump on my dear friend down there and I did what always do when I see something that bothers me, I ignored it. The time passed by and another one came, and another one. I then realized that I got to do something about it. so I did what any person with ugly pimples growing on his penis will do, I went to see a doctor.
The doctor scared the hell out of me and send me to the pharmacy to by Podofilox. at that point I was already shy $200 - the doctor visit and the medication plus - I was scared to death. after 2 weeks of using this topical solution my GW got smaller but where still there, alive and a kicking and... It hurts. it hurts and I had cuts down my skin. another week passed by and I ran out of podofilox so I started looking online.
I found this web site and I could not believe it. this stuff works like magic. after 2 days of use the GW was almost gone! I applied it twice a day for about 30 minutes or so it killed those ugly looking things I had over there.
My tips are these: make sure you apply it on the affected area only and not on the "healthy" skin. it left some browses on my good skin and know I am waiting till these will heal. make sure you keep the area clean, I took at least 2 showers a day and washed it well with Tea tree soap. and cleaned with hydrogen peroxide to prevent infection.
I would like to thank this web site and all those who contributed. this has been a big head ache for me. and the fact I could not share it with any body did not make it easier.
THINK POSITIVE - THE ACV IS THE CURE FOR GW - I am now drinking this stuff twice a day with water and lemon to clean out my body. make sure you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, this will build up your immune system. I will never have an unsafe sex again in my life. and will ask to see paper with tests results from each partner - I consider my self lucky that I did not get something worse.

Ok so today will be day 3 of treatment, meaning i've done it 2 days now, and one of the little ones turned white and kinda black on one side, but the three that are together have done nothing at all.....the big one is white now but the whole area like burns and i am almost tempted to stick with liquids until it's gone so that i don't have to have anymore bowel movements. Whoever said it burns more each time you use it is completely right. Also i'm kinda having a hard time getting the cotton balls to stay in place which may be why the 3 haven't had any improvement. I move around alot when i sleep because i am renovating my room and sleeping on a super uncomfy couch, but i think tonight i am gonna stick one of those massive super absorbant overnight pads on and see if that will help keep things in place. One more question, do i need to have the acv on constantly, or do you think i would still see results if i only used it overnight?

So this morning i woke up and the three in a cluster that i thought weren't budging are completely gone!! the other big ones are white and hopefully on their way out, but now there are like 6 little ones in the anal region that i never noticed and probably a hundred little tiny white ones that have popped up and i think that they are ones that were there before that just never showed before, but part of me wonders if i maybe spread the virus by messing with it.???? I'm gonna keep up with it though since the three are gone and will continue to update.

So i started homeopathic thuja 30c 4 times a day and it did not help at all. i started the acv (cotton balls dipped and covered with a pad and tape the pad down) and it hurt so bad... after 6 hours yesterday though, i saw alarming white and some grey/black which is scary as hell, but all of you guys say this is the way... so i trust you and thus i have the acv on now again. A couple questions maybe you guys can help me out with:
1. does anyone know if vitamin e capsules rubbed on after the acv work to soothe or do i need aloe?
2. does anyone know about damage to the mucosa? None of you have lost sensitivity in the area have you?
3. A guy today posted that he is all scarred. Does anyone else have scars?
4. Has anyone else seen 100 small warts? I feel like all the other cases have just a few 1-3 seems average.
Thanks i will let you know how it goes.
Any encouragement or help will be greatly appreciated
:)
Vitamin E should be soothing & promote healing without scarring. I have had one patient tell me that vitamin E removed warts from her fingers so piercing an E soft gel and applying it to genital warts several times a day might work on genital warts. It would be worth trying. Of course the doctor doesn't make any money from patients using ACV instead of letting her burn them off - which would also most likely cause scarring of the mucosa.
P.S. Before deciding to have a little romance everyone should ask themselves if this prospective partner is worth the risk of getting STD's from them. We now have resistant strains of GC, syphilis, AIDS ia now said to be epidemic in USA because the CDC has been underestimating the cases by 40%. Also that nasty old STD that used to found only in port areas had moved inland by the early 80's.

It all begins when I began showing some growths in my vaginal area (all external) right after giving birth. At first I thought they (the growths) were vaginal skin tags which are common in pregnant women and are believed to be caused by hormones and excess weight gain. I began reading and searching online for what I could do about them. Upon my research, and reading about HPV and GW, I determined that I exhibited symptoms of GW-- and since a large percentage of genital skin tags are directly linked with HPV, I deducted that somewhere along the line, I had contracted HPV. Due to The stress of the Pregnancy, along with the compromised immune system that comes along with pregnancy- my HPV came out of its "dormant" state. Mortified at my discovery- I began a quest for knowledge and treatment. After reading on the CDC's website that 90% of HPV infestations disappear within two years of discovery--- I didn't feel all was completely lost. I stumbled upon this site while searching for treatment plans. Since DR's can be EXTEMELY EXPENSIVE,I was hoping to find a treatment that wouldn't empty my pockets. ACV was mentioned in quite a few sites, and after reading the posts by all those before me, I decided... why not give it a try- and put the skepticism aside.
The Course of Treatment:
I went to the local drug store and purchased a tea tree oil blend w/ vit. E and other wonderful oils. Then straight to the grocery for a 2 dollar bottle of ACV. Bag of cotton balls and some maxi thins.
I took a warm shower and cleased the area well.
I then made sure the area was clean with some Hydrogen Peroxide..
I placed an ACV soaked cotton ball directly over the growths (suspected warts) that had claimed my pleasure organ for their home. At first It slightly burned...not too bad...yet....
Put on some clean underware (not thongs, or g strings ladies-- good old cotton undies) stuck a maxi pad in there- and wore the pickeled smelling contraption for about 30 minutes.
I then took it off (growths had turned a whitish color) and put the tea tree oil (VERY SOOTHING) blend over the area- and left it alone.
I repeated the process about 8 hours later...this time the burning a little more severe.
I continued doing this for two days-- now on my third day-- the growths have turned black--and are falling out one by one. I will note that ACV burns more with each treatment--but take it with a grain of salt- and if you simply can't bare it... stop, put some tea tree on and try again a little later. (I've had to bite down on a towel to keep from screaming)
This really does work great... and for a couple of reasons- 1) the acidity of ACV is like a chemical peel- and a disinfectant 2) the price of prescriptions is about 300 times more. 3) The humility of the doc's office is mortifying 4) The results of ACV are quick and effective.
Again, there is minor discomfort--- but who cares if it works-
I am not sure of the long term benefits- but will post back in a few months with an update.
I am a few growths away from being growth free..YAY!

to michelle from toronto, when u say spotting, do you mean that you have started your menstrual cycle early or do you mean your warts are bleeding externally? where exactly is the spotting coming from? if the spotting is coming from inside your vagina and you HAVE NOT done an acv douche then i would definitely go to the gyno, but if you HAVE done an acv douche i would just discontinue the douche. natural home remedies can be very effective for some but not for all. if you experience any type concerning symptoms then you definitely need to talk to a physician. better safe then sorry. good luck!

Ok, so im back to post about my results with acv. It has been 10 days of using this method. I originally wore the acv cotton balls for about 5 hours the first day and then overnight the second. Well on the third day I could only wear for about 10 to 15 min tops. Each day using the acv burns more and more severely then the day before. So instead of wearing the acv cotton balls once a day for 5 hours (cannot bear the pain for that long) I would just brace myself and hold the cotton ball on the warts for 10 sec to 10 min about 2 or 3 times a day; depending how much pain I could take at the time; (I also continue to clean the warts with hydrogen peroxide before the acv treatment) Well sure enough the warts began to get white, then dry, then black, then they began to flake off. A lot of people claimed it took only 3 days for the acv to rid their warts, but for me it has taken longer. I think it depends on the severity of the warts and maybe the strain as well. I had quite a few and they were in flat clusters ( I guess I had several layers of warts that the acv had to work through). Also I stated that I had been previously using heal warts from www.amoils.com and that I stopped using it; well because I was a little impatient with the acv, on the 5th or 6th day I began using them together. I would use the acv for like 5 min, then when the pain stopped (after about another 5 min) I would apply the heal warts formula. I tried to do this 3 times a day. It seemed that when I began to use them together the warts began to dry up and flake off faster (they began to itch severely as they flake off, so be careful not to scratch and spread). Well today when I checked the external warts they are all but gone. I have a few flaky black patches left that I will continue to treat. The internal warts are still there cause I have not really been treating them. Once the external ones are all gone I will try a diluted acv douche for the internal warts. Just to let everyone know the heal warts product really does work by itself, it just takes about 6 weeks to rid the warts; also it can be used internally to rid warts inside the vaginal canal for the ladies (apply topically DO NOT INGEST). I have used internally before but I am sensitive so it caused some vaginal pH imbalances (increased discharge and irritation) which is easy to fix with either acv douche or that rePHresh stuff they sell at local drug stores. So all in all I love acv. I am a fan for life. Even though the pain is horrid (I actually screamed and cried a couple of times), it is worth it to be rid of the warts in like 2 to 3 weeks. Also I bought some raw, organic, unpasturized acv and began taking a shot every morning as Liz from Cleveland did, it can't hurt and acv is very good for you anyway. I will be drinking a shot a day for life. I did dilute the shot in about 6 to 8 oz of juice or water. I will post again in another week or so when the warts are completely gone. Don't give up if the acv doesn't rid all the warts immediately (like in 3 days), just be consistent, bear the pain, and stay positive. Good luck all!

Thanks T for your update, i have been using for 5 days now and still no change, only for the itching is worse, im really hoping that this is the nasty little virus tring to survive but failing !! i cant keep the acv on for long against my skin so am hoping 1 hour twice a day is enough. i am using this called Somoxal also twice a day (got it off a website and not sure if i was done as the packaging and instructions state nothing about hpv or warts ?!) but i will keep trying because of your update, heres hoping in another 5 days i will be celebrating victory :D

Hello all, i am finally back to give a final update. By 11/24/08 i have to say that my warts were all gone! Sorry i took so long to update. I know most of the people who have posted say that it only took about 3 days for the warts to go away, but for me it took about 2 1/2 months for them to go away completely. I would have to take breaks cause the acv was really irritating; i would have to let my skin heal for a few days and then continue. Also i suspect the longer that it takes means the warts are deeper or layered or are a stubborn strain. But i just kept at it and eventually they went away.
I did have a considerable amount of skin irritation that needed a lot of t.l.c. I would have to stop treatment and use vasaline or antibiotic ointment or sumthin to lubricate and protect the raw areas. Once the skin had recouped and healed i noticed the warts were less and less each time, so i just kept at it until one day the warts were all gone! I have no scarring and the skin is nice and smooth as if the warts were never there at all. I am so pleased for acv and this site. I really hope this information and final update helps others dealing with this horrid problem. Good luck!
