ACV is really a miracle! I had several small warts and one about the size of a dime. I was to embarrassed to see a doctor and was looking on line for a cure. This really worked! I applied the first ACV with a gauze pad and kept the application for 24 hours changing the pad several times. The next day I did the same. The third day I applied the ACV over night only. By day four all the small ones had fallen off and the top of the large one had turned gray and was pealing off! The larger one was the most difficult and by day five I was irritated but changed my application to simply dabbing ACV on 3 times a day only to the one area. (I used A&D ointment on the surrounding area to get rid of the irritation and allow for healing.) Day six everything was gone! I have no scars and thankfully no warts! THANK YOU for your help!

This is the first review I have written, ever. For me I noticed bumps around the anal region. After some research realized they were indeed anal warts. Scared me to death! I am not very sexually active and have been abstinant for a long time. I had no idea how I had gotten them or when. At first I looked online for a remedy and ran across a somewhat expennsive oil. I had every intention of trying it once I got the funds. But without it I still kept looking til I found this site. I tried the acv remedy and it worked like a charm. You wold never know now that I had a wart in my life.

I used the cotton ball method of soaking it in ACV then just placing it on anal region and leaving it. I did this during the day since the stinging would've made sleeping a bit difficult. After 3 days, maybe 2-4 hours per day all the warts just fell off while i was talking a hot bath! Yes It does sting a little bit, but nothing compared to the relief of having them gone.

Also i have an idea for the removal of them if they are a little ways inside the rectum. I think that if one was to insert a cotton tampon, then remove the cardboard thingy and soak the cotton with ACV it should still work. Havent tried that but sounds feasible.
Thanks so much for peace of mind J

ACV is a life saver!! at least so far. im on my second day, third treatment and i can SEE and FEEL it working!!!! at first i didnt feel any stinging or burning as everyone had mentioned so i was dissapointed, but I applied it again and noticed one wart had turned white and the other black. i was sooooo relieved because after reading all the other posts i knew this meant it was working! the third application burned, but its soooo relieving because you know they are going to be gone in no time!

i would suggest using medical tape instead of bandaids because i tried using bandaids the first time and after the soaked cotton ball touched the bandaid it lost it's stickiness. it was quite frustrating. with medical tape you can kinda pin down the soaked cotton ball in place.

i cannot tell u how happy i am to have found this cure. i had been using aldera for some time with NO results. do not spend your money on anything else but ACV!! you can find it at any supermarket for only $2!!!!!

it's nice to know that there are so many others out there like me. i felt soooooo disgusted when these warts appeared because of HPV. i've only had 3 sex partners and i couldnt believe i was a victim to this!!!!

good luck to all :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I don't want to speak too soon, but I think this is actually working. I am on night two of ACV treatment-- a couple hours of holding cottonball to affected cluster, and pieces of the larger ones have already fallen off and there is new skin underneath. It doesn't burn as much at all, it's just the smell that gets to me. But I'm hoping in a couple more days they will be completely gone. I also treated them a bit this morning. I make sure I sure before or after and I use aloe vera after every treatment. I was just diagnosed yesterday and was so afraid I would have to pay a large amounts of money, not to mention they could not see me for another THREE MONTHS at the OBGYN. I will update in another couple days to let you all know how it's going.

I started using the ACV tonight on a few warts located between my vaginal and anal region. They seem to have gotten bigger as well. They definitely turned white and looked inflammed-- it stung a little too. It worries e that they are larger. Is this a normal reaction the first time ACV is used?

I had been trying to stay on oxygen therapies for chronic prostatitis. I use how I feel as a measuring stick. I also use a wart on my finger as a measuring stick. If it grows, I am missing something. Lately, I tried olive leaf extract, as I substitute oxygen donors from time to time just to test their effectiveness.

Adding olive leaf to my protocols and calcium citrate and this started my wart shrinking almost withing 12 hours. 48 hours into the olive leaf/ citrate my wart is 50% less in diameter.

I use whole aloe, coq10, molasses, low dose vitamin c, mangosteen as part of my everyday protocol, this keeps me pain free, symptom free, but the wart on my finger slow to shrink, unless I go with hand- fillet, whole aloe.(To Drink)

My next move is to take away either the olive leaf extract or the citrate and see what happens. Trying to see if citrate is doing the trick instead of olive leaf.

ACV on cotton does burn for genital warts, the acid will peel the skin. I don't know the consequences of doing an acid peel on mucous membrane but I would be uncomfortable recommending it to others. Personally, I would drink the ACV with an alkaline buffer to try and prevent or shrink papilloma. Warts on mucous membranes are quicker to respond to oral medications than those on feet or hands.

I personally would also take 10,000 mg of buffered vitamin c daily if I had wart on a mucous membrane. But if you can take the pain and you don't cause injury to the tissue, and it works. Hell, why not apply acv externally.

Try using a Q-tip soaked in ACV (squeezing the excess) to carefully spot the wart and so keeping the surounding skin from coming in contact with the ACV as much as possible........ it depends where you have the warts...... if you have them in front it's much easier than if you have them in the anal area, which is harder to see what you are doing, in such a case you could use a hand mirror and squat on it, that might give you a better perspective to work.......first they turn whitish, and if you keep treating them, they darken and fall off.........the burning is the acid working on the wart...... use your ointment or aloe vera gel to soothe the area............ ...it's uncomfortable, but it's worth it.

Thanks for the reply. Yes they did but now they are pinkish again. It does burn but I have put a and d ointment around the surrouding skin because that is turning white with burn marks! I will keep trying but have cried because I felt like I was doing more harm then good.

Hello Cathy, ...that could be because they are reacting to the ACV,...... are they turning whitish ?... do they burn when you apply the ACV? I'd be patient and keep on the ACV treatment. Two times a day, just take your time....... it might take longer depending on different people's systems.

This is a follow up on my October 13, 2007 posting.

After I tried garlic/ACV the warts disappeared but about a month later they reappeared, with old ones and new ones coming out, and lots of itching. I was desperate, and was ready to go to the doctor again as I thought the home remedy was not being effective after all.

But I decided to give it another chance. I left out all vitamin supplements, and the garlic, and ONLY use ACV. I soaked a piece of cotton in ACV, and left it in place where the warts were, for a full two days and nights, which was painful and had to take a couple of days off from the treatment to allow the place to heal. Then I did again two more days, but this time the area became too raw and painful, so I stopped the treatment. The superficial layer of skin peeled off, and the warts literally came off. A dark patch where some warts had been cryogenically removed some months before (and where the warts had come back too) came off also.

It is very important to keep the area as dry and clean as you possibly can. Remember that the ACV is an acid, and it will cause a chemical burn. Depending on how long the ACV contacts your skin, the ACV can damage the skin, so be careful not to push it too much. Apparently, the tissue the warts are made of is more susceptible to acid attack that the surrounding skin, nonetheless, the surrounding skin will definitely be affected as well, so be very careful.

It took about two to three weeks for the area to totally heal. No scars were left whatsoever, and the area that had been darkened by the cryogen treatment was regenerated to normal skin. So no marks of any kind anywhere.

I have been symptom-free for more than 8 months since that ACV treatment. Am so happy I decided to stick with the ACV, which saved me from embarrassment at the doctor, and from some very expensive bills. I feel better about myself not having these darned warts that made my life miserable and made me feel ashamed. I know, however, that the virus may still be in my system, but I know how to treat it now.

Best of luck to all.

After having weird bumps around my vagina that felt like ingrown hairs, I found a bunch of little genital warts inside my vagina almost all the way to my cervix.

I read about using apple cider vinegar on this site, so I thought I'd give it a try before going to my doctor who is always booked for weeks.

At first I tried diluting it and using it as a douche, but that didn't seem to work (about 2 tsp in about a cup of water). So then I tried putting straight ACV on cotton balls and putting them directly on top of the warts. I used the cheapy ACV from the grocery store and left the cotton balls in place overnight. This worked perfectly - they started to disappear within 12 hours and are now almost completely gone.

It definitly burns when you first put them in (especially if you get any on your labia etc.), but it goes away after about 30 seconds and is totally worth it. The whole area also gets a bit tender after its been exposed to a vinegary environment for two days, but I'm thinking that will settle down when I stop using it. I'll report back when they're all gone.

Also, I tried using ACV on the ingrown hair-ish bumps, but that doesn't seem to do anything. They seemed to start going away when I just left them alone.

I was recently diagnosed with Genital Warts..about 4 days ago..The warts were mostly around my anal area and the health dept wouldnt treat me with the TCA? stuff..because of the tissue in that area so after going to 3 different doctors in a matter of 2 days trying to get rid of these things I finally made an appointment with a general surgeon but it was gonna take 2 weeks just to get a consult..I decided that I would try to see what the internet had to offer..I was so excited to find this site..after reading how quickly using ACV had gotten rid of other peoples warts I said why not and decided to try it...I started the treatment yesterday about 2pm and by this morning most of my warts were gone..I just soaked a cotton ball in ACV and placed it where the warts were and left it alone for about an hour or 2...Yes, I will admit it did have alittle of a sting to it the 1st couple of times I did this..but its well worth the pain just to have them gone so quickly!...Thank you guys so much!

ok day three. I have definite scabs on most if not all warts. This looks very promising i applied the acv for thirty min in the morning and once again whit and swollon the warts became, but the scabs are very prominant now so at nite i put on the polysporin. Did the same thing in the morning. So in conclusion if this has worked as planned three days of treatments and about a week of healing to get rid of ALL the warts vs. one freezing wait ten days do it again.... and it might not work. This way is much better safer and faster. Will keep updating from time to time but unless somthing happens drastically all will heal and i will get back to a normal loving life.

Apple Cider Vinegar for genital warts: When I read in this site that in three days you could get rid of genital warts using Apple Cider Vinegar, I thought it could work, but not in such a little time... this is what I did:

.- First day I applied a small cotton ball soaked in ACV in my anus (two or three small warts were growing there) for about 1 hour after showering. It didn't burn at all.

.- Second day I applied a medium cotton ball soaked in ACV for more than an hour. It burned just a little. Later in the day, after showering at night, I applied a bigger cotton ball soaked in ACV for about 2 hours. This time it burned for the first 5 minutes or so but it went gradually decreasing.

.- Third day applied a big cotton ball soaked in ACV between my butt cheeks in the morning. It really burnt (the whole area had become very irritated). I kept it in place for about 45 minutes (the burning decreased but not as fast as the day before). After I decided to rub some Aloe Vera Gel straight from the plant to soothe the whole area. It works just great !. That evening my anus was so sore that I couldn't apply any more ACV, instead I kept rubbing Aloe Vera Gel from the leave and did it for the next four or five days without using any ACV at all .... and the warts were GONE. Just three applications of ACV !!!

ACV works great on the warts ! ..... but I would advice people not to use cotton balls soaked in it as I did, because in the same way it burns the warts, it burns the sensitive skin around them......... instead I would use a Q-tip soaked in ACV to spot the wart and use a mirror if you don't have someone to do it for you.

Anyway, Thanks a lot for the help ! ACV really works! (and for the burning don't forget the Aloe Vera Gel).

Sasha: I've been with my fiance for four years, and just recently suffered an outbreak. I wanted to blame him, but my doctor told me that the virus is small enough to pass through condoms, and can lie dormant for YEARS before a flare up. Talk to your doctor, or to someone at a free sexual health clinic to get all the facts. Better yet, take him with you. Perhaps he's the one you got it from? It can sometimes lie dormant in one person who infects the other. Good luck.

To Beth from Fremont: Hello Beth, You might want to try A & D ointment instead of neosporin for rapid healing after those warts fall off.

I used to treat my genital warts with the stuff that doctors give you : Aldara Creme. With Aldara it took me 2 months to completely get rid of my warts which to me is way to long. I had genital warts break out twice and my second time I decided to try the new remedy that I found on this website: Apple Cider Vinegar. I put Apple Cider Vinegar on a cotton ball every night before I went to bed and believe it or not my warts were gone in 3 days!!! The only problem I had when they fell off was that the parts of my skin were exposed and were bleeding. I had to keep rubbing neosporin to keep it from hurting. Other wise, I HIGHLY recommend Apple Cider Vinegar! It's quick and easy to do! :)

I was so excited to come across a site that wasn't charging for info on it's home remedy for genital warts. It's bad enough as it is to deal with, let alone have someone trying to take all your money. After freezing did practically nothing, I've started using ACV as of yesterday. Already my wart is getting smaller. However, after having to tell my boyfriend about this, he's very angry at me and contemplating breaking up with me (after two years of being together) because of it. How do I convince him that it's not the end of the world and there's treatments out there than can get rid of warts?

El Har,
Wanted to post this to let everyone know if you follow El Har's exact instructions the warts will disappear within just days. El Har you are a life saver. I went to my OB-GYN and was humiliated and he applied ACID which took the warts away but they just came back in a different place. I hope everyone reads this as El Har gives very detailed instructions how to get rid of these pesky warts. THANK YOU!!

Hi Scott, In syphilis, the progression usually starts with a single, relatively painless lesion that goes away without treatment - next stage is generalized rash of body (usually including palms of hands) which also goes away without treatment- the warts do not go away without treament. If you recall having any of the first two stages - you might want to google syphilis and see if it includes pictures for comparison. The first stage shanker is very characteristic and it is one lesion you recognize after seeing a picture of one.

ACV for genital warts. It works! Planned Parenthood did nothing for the genital warts I developed on the outside-but after reading this site (after much internet research) I put this remedy to the test. It took about a week, but the grotesque things are absent. Give it a try, can't hurt.

ACV cured my genital wart. I had a very small genital wart - it had been there for many months and I was embarrassed about it. I couldn't see it (I could have with a mirror and some trouble, but I never did this.) I soaked a cotton ball in ACV and kept it in place with a large bandage. I did this twice a day for two days. After two days it was completely gone. I am really surprised that this worked, and wanted to recommend this method to others as definitely worth a try.

I was to embaressed to go to doctor, and when I went they asked me what my complaint was and I couldn't say it so I had to leave the clinic. I have found this web site and today I bought all the supplements, and I will update in less than a week about the results. If this works, I will be so grateful for the web site& the ones who share their opinions.

To Scott with genital warts: Scott, have you seen a doctor? There are two different kinds of genital warts. One is associated with syphilis infection and the other isn't. The ACV would probably remove either kind but I don't know that it would do anything for the systemic syphilis infection, if you have it. 1st stage syphilis usually involves a shanker (painless lesion on genitals (usually penis) and generalized rash. 2nd & 3rd stage syphilis is where you definitely don't want to go. For all the rest who need to be aware of STD (sexually transmitted disease), there is another that a lot of people don't know enough about because it was usually found in port areas. This is lymphogranuloma venerum (LGV) which usually starts with with a few relative painless lesions on the genitals, followed by swelling of lymph nodes of the groin. LGV is still in the port areas but it has also been found inland for at least 22 years now. This one can be much nastier than gonorrhea or syphilis.
