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.

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.

all i did for my anal warts was fold toilet paper like a burrito then soaked it in ACV.i gave it a lil pinch so it wont drip much then put it in between my cheeks & squeezed for 10min consecutively! i did this 2x a day.im not gonna lie it really hurt! for my girl area i pressed the paper down till i felt it sting. you'll know its working when it burns! but its not so bad after the 3rd min or so.the 1st 2 days they turned white/grey & felt them getting rougher & dry! i poured some peroxide over it so it can heal faster & so the germs would die. the area around it hurts cause its raw skin so use a bandaid after 2put over the warts 2help suffocate them (since they need air 2survive & grow) keep them from rubbing & affecting other areas! i stopped on the 3rd day cause the skin was hurting, but i can harly c them now! they r going away!

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!!

I was a HUGE skeptic when I first decided to try a home remedy for my warts. When I first realized I had warts on the shaft of my penis, I cried with shame. I scoured the internet, did tons of research and panic took over as I sought a way to get rid of this taboo STD. And if you stumbled across this website, I'm pretty sure you've felt the exact same thing I've just described. But ladies and gentlemen, SAVE YOURSELF THE EMBARRASSMENT of having genital warts a part of your medical history. Before you go see a doctor, relax, take a deep breath, and from this moment forward, put yourself in a POSITIVE state of mind because everything is going to be alright. I found this site MONTHS AGO, but I have waited to post until now (three months later) just to be sure this wasn't a fluke.
To begin, everybody's body is made up a little different, but I swear on everything that is holy and dear to me, this worked for me and I feel like a new man. I followed this procedure and by the third day, my warts fell off:
First, start off by taking a nice warm shower. Clean your whole body, and pay special attention to the area with warts. I suggest taking a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in the shower with you so that after you're done soaping up and rinsing, you can poor it directly on the area just to kill off any wart particles that may cause the nastiness to spread. After your shower, dry off. Get some regular sized bandages, some cottonballs, and some Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV). ACV is cheap and any kind will work. Take a bandage and cut a strip of the adhesive part off the bandage. This strip will serve as "tape" to hold the cottonball in place. Then, take a cottonball, rip off a piece that is about the size of the wart, and roll it up nice and tight. Take your little ball of cotton and soak it in ACV. Squeeze it gently so it wont drip, but don't squeeze it so much that the cotton ball is dry. You want to leave some ACV in there so the wart will drink it up.
Next, take the ACV-soaked cottonball piece and put it in the middle of the adhesive strip you cut (on the sticky side). It should stick to the strip. Then carefully, place the cottonball directly over the nasty little wart you want to kill. Gently push the advesive srtip onto your skin, but don't push too hard. Once you've done this, cover that strip with a small bandage to keep in place.
I've read some people report that this stings a bit. It stung a little for me by the second day because ACV might take off a little bit of the good skin around the wart. But TRUST ME, it is worth the sting and after a bit, you should get used to it. If anything, put yourself in the state of mind that "the sting is the wart dying." That will help you to grin and bear it.
Do this in the morning after your shower before you go to work/school/wherever. When you get back home in the evening of the first day, when you take off the bandage and adhesive strip, you should notice the wart to start to turn whitish-grey. Take another shower, and repeat the process of soaping up, soaking in the warm water, and pouring hydrogen peroxide on the wart right before you get out of the shower. Follow the same procedure with the cottonballs, the ACV and the bandage strips and leave it on through the night. When you wake up in the morning, you will notice the wart turning a blackish/dark-grey color. That means its working.
Do this for two more days or until the wart just falls off in the shower. If the skin around the blackish wart turns whitish, that ALSO means it's working.
I think one other person on here has addressed how to take care of your skin AFTER THE WART FALLS OFF. You may notice that when the wart falls off, the skin underneath will be raw. You may see like a little hole in your skin. Thats a good thing, but your REGIMEN DOESN'T END THERE!! Once the wart falls off, if you are in the shower, IMMEDIATELY rinse off the area and pour hydrogen peroxide on the skin. The area will turn white and bubble up (the reaction from the Hydrogen Peroxide killing off the germs). This is a good thing so don't freak out. Then rinse off. You may notice that when you rinse, the raw skin may stay "whitish." That's okay. Thats just the hydrogen peroxide that is in the skin now. When you get out the shower, dab some hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball and hold it on the new skin for few seconds. Then CAREFULLY take a cottonswab and put some antibiotic on it (like an ointment with zinc oxide in it) and dab it on the raw skin. DON'T smear it all over, just dab it right on the raw skin. Cover it with a bandage, and for extra caution, once you are done putting on the bandage, take some hyrdrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol, dab it on a cotton ball, and wipe the area where the bandaid is just to be sure you aint spreading wart germs.
Repeat this for an additional four to five days and the area will heal up like brand new. You will never even know a wart was there. In total, you can be like new in about 2 weeks time.
In addition to this direct method, I have decided to build up my immune system. This not only has prevented new warts, but I swear I haven't gotten sick AT ALL. Im sure that by now, my body/immune system has killed off whatever virus was in my body that caused the warts.
On a daily basis (and I take this with food so I don't ruin my stomach), I take 1000 mg of vitamin c, 1000 i.u. of vitamin E, 25,000 i.u. of vitamin A (as beta carotene), 50 mg of zinc, 500mg of lysine, an Echinacea and Golden Seal complex pill, a One-a-day multivitamin, and Garlic Supplement pills (2 at a time). I spent only 30 dollars buying all these pills at a drug store, and it has been every bit worth it. They have lasted me already almost four months and I feel great. If you read up on these vitamins, ALL of them are known for either boosting the immune system or helping the body kill viruses. They really really work, I swear by them.
For those of you freaking out about your genital warts, TRUST ME you're not freaking out nearly as much as I did. I almost went crazy living with them. But I followed the advice of people who have been through this before me, and I am passing the advice down to you coupled with my own little tricks. It upsets me that there are so many jerks out there that try to charge you for advice to help you get rid of these nasty little things. I learned everything on this posting on my own, and it WORKS.
Also, I would HIGHLY recommend trying this remedy first. Don't waste your money on unnecessary doctor visits and prescription drugs that are probably gonna do you more harm than good. However, don't take this message to mean you should not see your doctor. If there is something wrong with you, by all means go see him. But for a genital wart that you can get rid of on your own? In such a short amount of time? Save your money, save your time, and follow this procedure. You are not alone, and you WILL get rid of them.
Thank you Earth Clinic for this wonderful sight!!
Good luck and God Bless.

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.

Actually it seems to me that ACV would not be beneficial to your vagina's ecosystem as it kills good bacteria. Any females using ACV for treatment of genital warts: you may want to take some precautionary measures so as not to get a yeast infection while on the treatment. I just started the ACV treatment for GW last night and I am eating a lot of yogurt and also taking probiotics. You can also insert yogurt into the vagina. Good luck to everyone who is trying the ACV treatment :)

Results: they were all gone by the 3rd application and haven't returned. Since then I have been using ACV on my face and I no longer have ingrown hair problems or razor burns. I also take it internally, 2tbsp with water and blackstrap molasses (I love it! Beats having a pop). My skin is great, BO is not an issue anymore, and things just seem to be going well. Thank you all for posting your comments and saving me from a very embarrassing visit to the doctor that would result in expensive and ineffective burns/freezes. It's nothing short of a miracle.
