I am currently using ACV alone because I cannot find any tea tree oil. It burns a little but its not too bad. hopefully these warts will be gone by the time i go back to school for my second semester. i wanted to know if anyone has any other symptoms with this virus [ie. foul urine and itchiness]. thanks.

WOW! I was SO humiliated when I found out, via self-prognosis, that I had genital warts. I immediately started searching for natural, home remedies so I wouldn't have to face a doctor and read about APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. I bought the SUPERMARKET BRAND, despite advice that it's not as effective. BS! It worked like a charm. Did exactly what I read about.. My vaginal warts turned brown in the middle and within 12 hours dissapeared! Miracle. I'm amazed. I have a stubborn wart defying the ACV, but I expected this one to be a pain. However, it has SHRUNK IN SIZE considerably and have hopes it will be gone soon. There was minimal pain and burning and if you use tea tree oil to sooth the healing skin where the warts were, you should be home free. Apple Cider VINEGAR for exertnal care of genital warts! WOW!!!!! NOTE: when ingesting ACV internally, I'd suggest using organic, unpasturized and raw..not supermarket brand. However, when dealing with skin ailments externally, it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I had 3 genital warts that came up out of no where! (I've had the same partner for 5 years) I was totally freaked out. I had used a garlic clove strapped with duck tape when I had a wart on my finger and it worked like a charm in a matter of a few weeks, but I was trying that technique and although it had burned one of the GW off when it was very small it didn't seem to work as it got bigger. And it burned! So I was determined to find a cure! And I found your amazing blessing of a website. I' tried the ACV on a cottonball squeezed between my legs. In two days one of the small one fell off. I noticed a change in the other larger ones instantly. They got smooth and were starting to disentegrate. In 3 weeks they are pretty much gone. I will say that it kind of burned... but it was totally worth it. I only held it between my legs for about 20 minutes every 2 nights with a break in between, I also used tea tree oil which i thought would burn but it was actually very soothing. thank you so much! Now I am experimenting with ACV drinks! I sent your website to all I know.

I found out I had HPV about 3 months ago. Since then, I have been receiving trichloric acid treatments from the dr. and had no results. After doing a little research on my own, I tried using the apple cider vinigar 3 times a day followed by tea tree oil. I have been doing this for about a week now. Some of my warts have dissapeared and the others have started to scab up. It is amazing how well this works. I have asked my dr. so many times, what I can do to speed up this process and she tells me nothing. I wish everyone could now how amazing this stuff works. Good luck to all of you.

When I first noticed small bumps around my vagina, I actually thought it might be a couple ingrown hairs, in vain I tried to open one in order to pull the hair out, but in the area where it was it was difficult to tell anything... but as the bumps began to increase in number over the next week, I feared I might have genital warts. Sure enough, soon afterward I noticed three clearly visible warts on the outside lips of my vagina. I was too embarassed to talk to my mom or my friends or even my doctor about it, even though I'm not a promiscuous person, I feared that's what I'd appear to be.. So, after extensive online research for home remedies I decided to try apple cider vinegar as it was something I already had readily available... I only applied it for three days before the warts were nothing more then scabs, that also healed very quickly. All I did was soak a cotton ball in the vinegar and swiped it on every time I used the bathroom, then at night, I applied the cotton ball for at least ten consecutive minutes. I warn you that it can burn, which is not very comfortable, but for me.. the fast results were more then worth it. Especially since I often read that most of the home remedies out there weren't very effective on larger warts.
