Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

I'm diluting the ACV before applying it, but I think it's causing some mild sores and I am bleeding a little in some areas, but it's only barely and is only seen on a q-tip when I dab the area. Unless these sores were from new warts trying to show up but I got them before they formed, or I burned healthy skin... I'm just going to let myself heal some. Pretty much the entire area except a few spots turns white, but I want to take it easy so I don't cause damage. It totally got rid of a smaller wart in a day and I only applied the ACV for maybe 20 minutes full strength. I was examining myself yesterday and noticed a cluster of a few (suprisingly in the shape of a flower haha) and they were definitely smaller today, but then one showed a little bit of growth, but I'm not super concerned about that. They are just in really awkward spots to hold a cotton ball on overnight, so I just go for like 20-30 min at a time. I think it will work in due time, and my itching is already much much better. If I didn't do a thorough examination of myself I wouldn't have even noticed I had them and would have assumed it was another yeast infection. I really do hope the thing ACV will help, and I'm really trying to get over the fact that I have HPV. I've been very depressed about it lately, so I hope it all clears up soon.

Definitely worked! My friend told me about using ACV for her skin cancer so I did a google search and found this. I used bandaids and a cotton ball soaked in ACV. I tried to keep on for as long as possible but most only stayed on for 1-2 days. I would replace it with a clean one. If my skin got too raw I took a break. After about 2 months all 12 warts are gone! Just unbelievable. I had tried tea tree before and it did nothing for me. ACV worked quickly.

I started with Tea Tree Oil, after reading about a girl on reddit who cleared everything up in a month with no pain, just using tea tree oil. Well, that girl was a liar. Or very lucky. If anything I think they got worse during the month or so I tried TT oil.

So then I'm getting real frantic; my health insurance doesn't kick in until May, plus I've heard there isn't that much Doctors and their Prescriptions can do for this situation, and that the medicine isn't that effective.

But I found this thread a week ago, and I can honestly say my GW have improved at least 75%. This time next week I think it will be like they were never there at all.

My experience with ACV wasn't exactly the same as everyone else's it seems, so I'll detail what I did, so people know tgere are many ways you can make this stuff work for you.

First day I made the mistake of using cheap stuff without the “mother, " but I slept with it on overnight anyway. The first night is the easiest. You'll wake up wondering why everyone said it hurts so bad, only to find out why on your next application of ACV...

Day 2-4 I didn't sleep with it overnight; instead I did a couple of 3-4 hour sessions throughout the day and let my skin breathe and heal overnight, applying a small amount of coconut oil and sticking some tissue between the labia to help keep things dry. (Moisture is the enemy) By day 3 I also had to start diluting the ACV 1:1 because everything was SO sensitive, but it works almost equally as well.

At this stage everything is going to look red and inflamed, except the warts, which will be white, then slightly Grey-ish.

Day 5-6 and everything seems to be clearing up! I didn't experience as much of things turning black and scabbing off, but most of mine were the “flat" warts, so they basically turned white/Grey, and then the skin started to kind of slough off, almost like a peeling sunburn, revealing little dark pink spots of new skin. A tiny bit of bleeding, but nothing too bad.

My only other suggestion, as with most of these other posters, is to get a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and use it to wash your junk frequently. I use it before and after an ACV treatment, and after every trip to the bathroom.

Good luck y'all!

One bump showed up on my pubic bone maybe two months ago, so a month ago I gave in thinking it was an ingrown hair and silly me picked at it. Three weeks ago two more tiny bumps, two weeks ago maybe six. At this stage I'm thinking this isn't ingrown hairs. Six was still nothing to be dramatically concerned about as I am not sexually active and they were only bumps without the white head.

Then in the last week they have gone into overdrive, they came on with vengeance and started spreading fast, new ones every day.

I read about apple cider vinegar yesterday, so last night I covered two makeup pads and awkwardly tried taping them on with medical tape. It hurt so bad but it has been worth it as this morning I realised that some had turned black.

So, I figure if I'm going to do this, I'm going to hit it hard in this one area and taped more on for work. Tonight, when I removed it there's also little black spots where I had seen nothing noticeable in the skin. This is too good to be true if it clears up.

I'm going to keep leaving them on night and day, using coconut oil between new ACV applications and have a bath with 1-2 cups of ACV / some tea tree oil.

Seriously 24hrs and I'm convinced it's working exactly as everyone has said!

I used kitchen towel to swab onto the infected area up to 5 times a day and the over spill picked up smaller GW's I had not seen... I may have the scars from freezing but in 7 days I was clean thanks to ACV

I was was going to go to my GP, then came across this site recommending ACV and other treatments. I only have Braggs ACV with the mother in the cupboard. So decided to try that method.

Before I went to bed, I used a cotton bud. Dipped tip into acv, put the tip directly onto the wart. It did not hurt like ive seen discribed in other comments. I held in in place for 20-30mins. I noticed the wart turned white. Then I went to bed.

The next morning, I noticed the larger wart was half the size and the smaller wart barely visible.

2nd night before bed, again dipped tip of cotton bud in ACV the put tip on wart, this time it did stink a lot, so dabbed it until the pain subsided and again held it in place for 20-30mins, then went to bed.

Next morning there was just a small red spot, I'm guessing the wart had fallen away when I had my shower. There was a tiny bit of blood, no pain whatsoever.

Repeated again the 3rd night and the next morning, there's no wart, scar or red spot, in fact no evidence of having a wart at all!!

I'm going to repeat this for a few more days to make sure, but I am so relieved and very happy with the results. I did not think it would actually work, but I am so glad it did. I urge you to please try the ACV method, honestly it really work.

ACV - People say use the mother.. I say use whatever is available to do! They all work.

Hydrogen Peroxide - This will help disinfect and kill the virus on the surface and stop it from spreading

Cotton balls/Medical Tape - for application

Male Hygiene Wash (Tea-tree oil and Silver as the active ingredients - helps kill the virus at the surface, also speeds healing/recovery).

So I'll summarise the issue - there were 3 warts that appeared (I thought they were moles), though after a few weeks since noticing them, they got bigger and started spreading smaller ones around it. I freaked as is the norm, and went straight to the doctors. They checked and diagnosed it as GW and that I had HPV (though the tests I had done came back negative... weird huh?) - Apply some common sense here I say, don't go waste your money if you don't need to.

I applied aldara also known as amiquimid - don't waste your money. Its rubbish and does nothing. Its suppose to activate your immunse system within the area and irritating the wart - it stalled the growth, but at the price, it was not worth it (comes in tiny little sachets which if you aren't use to using it, you generally apply too much or not enough)

After a while I found this site - and for the lads, at this point, you definitely don't wanna see any of the ladies with your junk looking the way it does. Mine were on the shaft just behind the head. So it was definitely not a good thing. I even found one right inside the urethra which was freaking me out.

So first things first, apply ACV to cotton wool, and apply it to the ones you can see, and within about 10 minutes, you'll see them turn white. Now here things change.

You can follow the suggestions below and tape it on and so forth, but unless your willing to burn your junk, I don't recommend it. Let your body fight it with you. So apply the ACV, make sure its turned white, and hold it on for another 10 minutes or so. Once done, go wash your junk with water, wash with the hydrogen peroxide (dilute it with water if your must), then follow through with the male hygience wash (they moisturize the skin as well). Make sure its dry.

Repeat this step every morning and night - gives your healthy skin enough time to recover, and enough ACV to penetrate into the GW, activate your immune system, burn the virus in the skin. You'll soon notice it will turn black, your golden. Its dead. Just let it dry, it will go grey, dry up/scab and fall off.

The big ones are easiest get rid of, the smaller ones that you cnanot see are the issue, so I grabbed some toilet paper, made a 2-3 layers, and wrapped it around my shaft, then poured ACV.. If it gets the tip, its gonna burn thats normal. All the smaller ones show up, swell a tad, then once they've got enough, you'll notice that some will actually 'pop/deflate' after you've let it dry.

Because they are so small, they won't be 'thick' enough to need anymore. Mine have just deflated, dried up, and healed up and are gone. You'll need to do this maybe once every month. That ensures any small ones are 'killed' off before they present a visible problem.

Now the one in the urethra was the hardest, and this probably wasn't the smartest, but I gritted my teeth and did the following. Grabbed a small bag, poured ACV in it (with a little water), and wrapped my junk. Made sure plenty got into the urethra (you'll know because it burns like HELL at first, but after the initial, its not so bad). I did this for about 2 minutes only each morning and it worked!

The issue with it being in your urethra is it will want to scab and so forth. Know your urethra is soooo sensitive that its likely to get infected (you can't really clean inside it). I did try a bit of betadine with water to try clear it but it was a bit late. It got infected :(

Go straight to your docs, get amoxycycline or some broad spectrium anti-biotic and it will clear it up quick smart. (2 tablets a day, for 14 days). Just keep going with your anti-biotics, its generally only a very weak anti-biotic so you should be fine. Make sure to keep taking your pro-biotics while you do.

Once that cleared, I noted that the GW inside my urethra was gone. Totally cleared up. Now all I'm doing is just doing maintenance, which is to apply TP with ACV, leaving it on for about 5 minutes, and then thats it.

Note: Always use the peroxide on your hands when handling your junk. You don't wanna touch other area's and risk further spreads. So thats it - Fella's, it will all be fine. Note I did try the wrap it on at night, but it just did too much damage to the surrounding area's. If you have an active lifestyle, try a slow and steady method.

If you wanna get it off FAST, you can still get results following the above, maybe 3 times, but don't leave it on your junk overnight. The results aren't worth it if your junk fells like a live grenade that goes off everytime you move.

I was one of those that doubted ACV for GW [Genital warts]. Especially after one bad experience, but do recommend it highly now. [I still do not know how it would work out for a cluster of warts.]

Bad experience: I did not follow recommended procedure and burned my skin badly. I had only one and it looked like a skin tag. I went searching online and discovered what it was. I had no Q-tips but had the Vinegar. I soaked a rolled up piece of bathroom tissue in the vinegar, squeezed out the excess, and applied it to the area in a U shape [it was between vagina and rectum, the area there]. I left it there from about midnight to 8am. I wiped the area many times that day with vinegar tissue without squeezing out the excess vinegar and I did the same the next night as the night before. I was in misery, swollen, etc, but the GW fell off in about another day and no more came until recently [over a year]. But at that time I was burned. Slow down! Don't over do it! I also told the guy I was seeing who, it turns out, was the giver of it. He had one and did the same, set himself on fire too, but the GW [his was a anal wart] fell off about the third day.

I foolishly kept seeing him, discovered he has cheated sooooo bad. Has been like this since he was a teen, lots of females! All unprotected sex [I'm getting tested for EVERYTHING soon! ].

This time I went searching the internet again. I tried the banana peel thing exactly as it said. Scraping the stuff off and applying it as a paste, leaving it there all night. I broke out, was on fire, etc. So after that simmered down I tried the Vitamin E, diaper rash meds, and more, no results at all [but oils and diaper rash stuff will help protect the skin around the wart from vinegar burn].

I returned to vinegar one more time. But still I had no band aids or tape or Q-tips. [By the way, this time I had 2, now the anus and the same location as before.] I did the same as before but only one night this time. These swelled, turned white, and several more appeared. You can have more than what appears and vinegar can make them swell and appear. I was frantic till I discovered that fact. It simply raises up the ones you can't see and you want it to do this so you can get rid of these also. These new ones go away fast without becoming big because your attacking the HPV virus in them before they grow bigger. I kept using vinegar soaked tissue strips to wipe these about 3 days several times per day. Don't use this much!!! Drain the excess!! The warts went away fast! But I had burned myself again! I had two raised blisters or what looked like blisters. They were not warts but vinegar can turn things white that are not GW. These vinegar lesions turned flesh color in two days. Takes longer to get rid of these [vinegar damage] than the warts! I painfully douched out my rear three days [about 4 tbl spoons vinegar, the rest of it in water in douche bottle]. Warning: this works like an enema. Do this at home and not before work or school. You might have to run to the bathroom a few times after! Do not use a lot of vinegar in your butt! I read where one guy blistered himself and it got infected and he had to go to the ER, explain, be medicated, had scars after, etc! I commonly douche the front [vagina] with white vinegar and have many years [by the way I think ACV would be better on the warts but both times all I had was white. And I use more vinegar in vaginal douche but do not advise it for those who do not douche regular with vinegar]. I did this once per day for 3 days. I do not want any GW inside my self in either area. I don't want GW's ever again period.But HPV does not get cured. You can keep warts at bay but the virus is with you for life. Let your immune system be weak and you will have recurrences. Keep your immune system up, you might never have one again.

During this time I have changed some things about myself, too. I'm eating far more veggies and fruits, I replaced meats with eggs [you can just cut down on meats except liver and fish], I drink a lot of water, orange juice, Apple juice and Green Tea per a day [do not over do green tea if you have a heart problem of any kind or AFIB. Consult you physician]. I also put 4 table spoons of vinegar in a 12 ounce glass of water in the morning and drink it down, [but posts I have read recommend 2 table spoons]. Three weeks later there is not a spot on my body of any kind anywhere, I feel better physically, am not tired in the day no more and don't require any naps at all. At the time of the first problem over a year ago I had started doing the same because of a diet. This time the same reason but also read fantastic things about drinking vinegar water in the morning and 2-4 cups of green tea per day. I have read even by doctors your body will fight HPV that causes these, maybe even prevent any occurrences if you pick up your immune system. I also cut back to 2 cups of coffee per day, my cravings for sweets quit with the tea intake so there has been no junk food and I don't drink pop or anything with sugar. For that matter the recurrence happened when I drank alcohol several days heavily. I was not eating a bite of food, was smoking heavily, was very depressed. Stress will trigger these too from what I read. Poor diet, stress, heavy intake of bad things such as alcohol, coffee, smoking, sugar, junk food, lack of vitamins, etc. But the tea and vinegar cleanses the body of much bad and kicks in gear the good needed to ward these off.

So, this is my remedy for you. Worked fast as can be for me.

Morning: 4 tablespoons of vinegar to 12 ounce glass of water. Drink it down. If you get a belly ache, cut down to 2 table spoons or just use the recommended dose of two.

Start your day with cup of green tea, nothing added to it. Drink at least one to two more from then before bed time.

Stop the junk food immediately at least till this occurrence has passed. Stop the coffee at least temporarily. Stop sugar. Cut waaaaay back on meat. Eat lots of veggies and fruits. I am presently only on fruits, veggies, juices, eggs 4 times per week and no meat. If you stop meats as I did it is recommended to replace this with eggs 4 times per week. You should maybe throw in some vitamin supplements.

3 to 4 glasses of 100% orange or apple juice per day. Four 12 ounce glasses of water per day.

Drinking so many liquids may cause your appetite to be as mine which has went from extreme to practically none, mainly because of the tea from what I read. Eat!!! And eat healthy.

Use ACV "properly" on Q-tip applied to wart overnight a couple nights in a row held in place by tape or band aide. During the day wipe the wart with q-tip that has vinegar on it.

If your a woman douche three days in a row with vinegar douche, two to 4 Table spoons of white vinegar [not sure how much if you use ACV]. If there is an anal wart [you're male or female], decide for yourself about vinegar enema, two table spoons to douche bottle of water [do not know how many ounces that is]. I'm no doctor! But what I have read about this means you could wind up with an infection so decide for yourself. I'm not a back door person either so this was very painful for me. No harm from vinegar though. I did as recommended online and only inserted the tip an inch to 2 inches, not the whole thing! You need the holes on the nozzle inserted enough to release the mix inside.

I douche twice per week with vinegar, I have done this several years. Doctors advise against over douching. Over douching might cause the vagina to not do its own proper cleansing, is what I read. I will also keep up with the back door cleansing once per week though it is painful cuzz I never want a recurrence. I will also use a paper towel, damp with vinegar every other day to skin ward this off.

HPV is a skin thing. Keep it clean.

Experiments have been done with chlorine bleach in labs but not on people! I have read where some have used it on warts or as a cleaning process, merely damp paper towel as I am doing with vinegar like every other day for merely washing, wait a few minutes, clean it off. As a preventive measure. The bleach destroys the HPV in the lab in the cylinders they use [again, not tried on people]. I read some people do the same steps as you would with vinegar. I'm just not going to myself since I already have something that works and works fast. Things I have read did not say how long it takes to get rid of a wart with bleach.

Go to the doctor if you have more than say 5 or if their large or if you burn yourself with anything you experiment with trying to get rid of these!!!!!! You should go to the doctor anyway. And please please tell any sexual partners! You have no right to spread this to another. Because of where these can be located a condom does not prevent you giving it to others. You have no right to infect others. Please care and please don't have sex without telling your partner. If you have a present partner, please tell them what has happened. What my mate has done to me has harmed me in self esteem, emotionally, mentally.

Don't just right out blame your partner. These can take from 2 weeks to months to years to pop up on you. You may be the one that has given it to them!

Do not, do not, do not shave the hair below!!!!!!!!!!!!! It can cause a recurrence and also cause it to spread. Do not shave pubic hair ever again!

Do not pull or shave a wart off. You will probably get an infection and it will spread and can bleed a lot!

Men, you need to clean your whole every thing, under sack, anus, the sack, shaft, rim, head.

Men and women, I now soak three times per week in vinegar bath. Bath tub of water at least several inches deep, one cup of vinegar. Soak at least 20 minutes, I soak 30 minutes. Found this online, too. My skin feels great afterward, too.

How badly do you want these gone? How badly do you you not want another occurrence? How badly do you not want to give it to another? [But remember, even with these gone, you can spread HPV by unprotected sex. You are now doomed to condoms the rest of your life! ]

Treat yourself inside and out. Put your towels in a safe place [hamper] out of reach of children and anyone and especially wash cloths used to wash these areas.

If you do oral, chances are you could have these in your mouth whether you see one or not, rinse your mouth in evening before bed with diluted vinegar or with peroxide. Personally I rinse with straight vinegar followed by straight peroxide [do not swallow]. Swish it around. Don't panic if the inside of your mouth turns white all over. Vinegar and peroxide either one will do this. Again, vinegar can make things whaite that are not GW and peroxide in the mouth will turn much of the inside white. It's not white when you wake in the morning. Use peroxide first, swish all over, spit it out but do not rinse. Wait 5 minutes, rinse, then swish vinegar, then rinse immediately after you spit it out. Or just use vinegar. I use both cuzz I smoke and peroxide is a great yeast killer and kills some types of bacteria. Can even be used in a douche to tackle Vaginosis, Yeast Infection, and the std Trichomonasis. Again, you can be hurt by such if not done properly. Never douche with straight vinegar. Never douche with bleach at all. Only use recommended amounts of peroxide or vinegar in douches.

You have a responsibility to protect others. GW and like 100 strains of HPV has become insane in the US today. You know people with it without realizing it. All sexually active people who have had several partners in their life will have one strain or another in their life. The person who gave it to you might have been a person who knew and did not care, and may have had suspicions they were infected and did not care, please don't be as they were. You yourself could have hadit for years and not known. But apparently you know now so be careful!

With genital or anal warts there can be extra moisture to the vagina and rectum that was not there before. It is of utmost importance to keep these areas clean and dry! This moisture can cause a whole lot of itching and prevention of healing and a recurrence. Some use paper towels to keep things dry. They say it takes a lot of getting used to. With myself I have had no more of this since they went away and had none in between the two occurrences. I read in one place you should use a hair dryer to dry things down there after baths, after douching, etc.

A rundown of what I did:

I noticed a tag/wart on my scrotum for months and finally decided to do something about. I did pick at it, trying to manually remove it, but it just bled instead. Eventually, I found this website, and decided to try it out the ACV. On the first night, I just dabbed undiluted ACV for a minute, then took a shower. Day 2, it looked like the site was more exposed, and it swollen up. I cleaned with Hydrogen peroxide 3%, and that turned the lesion milky white, then applying diluted 2:1 ACV: Water for 5min minutes using Qtip. Then day 3, the site looked yellow as describe above, it did not turn white, and remains the same today (day 4).

I know someone who had a similar experience. The small bit that was left just stayed that way, is still that way many years later. The doctor who examined it was not concerned about it.
