Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

To start WITH, I AM A BLACK African Woman, and I happen to be studying in one of the most racist countries in eastern europe. When I went to see the doctor, I was on my period but I wore a tampon to avoid any mess. First of all, before the shmug doctor even diagnosed me, he was so racist towards me. Already assumed I had an std before he even saw anything. SO RACIST! Well, after that he just took a look, stood up and walked out of the exam room. I got dressed and followed him out asking what was wrong with me? All he said to me was "you have Virus CONDYLOMA" that was it swear. I had no idea what that meant whatsoever, and I was certain it was not an STD because I have only slept with two guys since I lost my virginty this year. The doctor told me I have condyloma and he's going to need about $1000 to burn them and I should know that I'm gonna have this forever and they're gonna keep coming back. I was devastated.

Came back home, cried to my boyfriend and he calmed me down and told me were going to try find some money to do that. I helped him check his genitals, but fortunately he has no warts appearing YET. The whole day was scary for me, I thought I was going to die. Started doing my research and by 3pm I found EARTHCLINIC omg. ACV? I was shook, but I didn't hesitate to consider Cider Vinegar, because I needed anything that could be less than $1000.

I bought organic filtered Apple cider Vinegar with 6% acidity, aloe vera gel, some cotton balls and hydrogen peroxide 3%. That evening I got back home from the grocery store, I soaked a cotton ball in ACV and just dropped it around my vagina, while laying down for about 30mins. I did not feel any pain whatsoever. So 3hours later my boyfriend suggested to take a look, and I could tell how disgusted he was when he saw them, he told me they have gotten soon big and soo white its scary. So he helped me put another cotton ball, this time securing it with tape. It hurt like a mf this time ouchhhh.

For the next 3days, while on my period I was using ACV, aloe vera gel during the daytime and hydrogen peroxide to wash myself, I didn't see any change also I had burned my surrounding skin from acv. so I took a break and started applying ALOE GEL, that day while wiping myself, there was Black seeds on the tissue I was soo excited, even my boyfriend was happyy too.

My warts never turned black, they were either shrinking, or cutting off while they were white and soggy. most came out in 7days and the cluster I had has shrunk so small I thought it was gone. I stopped ACV because I had exams and stuff, so I rested for the next 4 days and just yesterday I realized that Cluster wasn't really thoroughly killed, its growing bigger again. Meaning I have a very stubborn strain of HPV. I HAVE STARTED another treatment just yesterday in order to kill it all, and I am also hoping to do the TAMPON AND DILUTED ACV soak in a few days. I don't have them inside of me, but they're right on the outside and I'm sure in a few weeks they'll start moving IN. gotta kill them asap.

In conclusion, I promise anybody reading this, ACV WORKS FOR GENITAL WARTS. Don't you dare give up on your coochie, burn and kill those bastards and regain your self esteem. Luckily for me, my boyfriend had been the most supportive person ever in my life and I don't care if he gave this virus to me or not, all I know is NOW I HAVE IT, theres not going back, and theres nothing I can do about it. Were waiting to see if his own will start to appear, because he also has HPV, but no symptoms still. We are both taking two garlic pills and two echinacea pills a day with 1000mg vital c capsules to strengthen the immune system. I am also trying to cleanse my diet, and kill those things from the inside. I heard you can take a shot glass of ACV, but heck noo last time I tried it I was puking the whole day Its absolutely disgusting. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY OUT THERE AND GOD BLESS EARTH CLINIC

First of all, I want to thank everyone who have shared their experiences about genital warts treatment using Apple Cider Vinegar, I'm thankful that it's working on me and your reviews encouraged me to give it a try.

On June 2016, I noticed small warts on both sides of my labia minora (vagina wall), they were like 20 of them each wall labia, I went straight to my gyn and diagnosed with HPV that causes genital warts. I was given a topical cream, called Effudix 1% (prescription) which should be applied 3 times in a week for 3 weeks max, I was also given a petroleum jelly to prevent any burn to the unaffected skin. It didn't burn at all, it wasn't painful, the effudix cream smells really unpleasant but I applied it anyway, within 2 weeks, the warts were gone.

On August, I noticed they came back with their friends on my labia minora and I wasn't able to afford any medical help, I live in Indonesia which is insurance for such disease isn't covered by the government. Then on November I found this website about getting rid of genitals warts with ACV, so I give it a try.

My warts are on both of my labia minora (vagina wall) like a lot, also on my vaginal opening and the vestibule (below urethral opening) like a size of toe nail, it's so big and gross and also on bartholin gland like 3 layers look like chicken's comb. It's so gross, embarrassing and totally killed my confidence.

First day (around 8pm) : I soaked a cotton ball then wrap it with gauze pad and bind it so it looks like tampon, as I describe my warts are everywhere, I'm afraid the cotton balls would be stuck on my vagina. I didn't experience any burn at first, the bigger one on my vestibule turned white in 20 minutes, then 10 minutes after it turned greyish/black, so I keep the cotton balls for like 4 hours. Because I have to pee so bad, I change the cotton balls with the new one, here comes the pain! It burns my skin (warts so bad) I wasn't even able to walk and crying on bed, considering this is working I continue for like an hour, at 2am, I need to pee and ready for bed, I saw small seeds on my tissue as I wipe, I'm so happy and go to bed!

Day 2 (around 10am): I noticed the biggest wart on my vestibule and batholin gland getting smaller and turning black also the black seeds coming off when I wipe my vagina with tissue (PLEASE DO IT GENTLY, FOLKS :) The pain is unbearable, so I applied the ACV on cotton balls for like 20 minutes and I couldn't stand it anymore. At night, around 8pm, after I took a bath, I re-applied it and it stung like crazy, I couldn't handle it and was crying because of the pain.

I noticed the biggest warts on vestibule and 3 layers on my bartholin gland are getting smaller and smaller, as the skin of the warts and the black seeds coming off too, YAY!

NOW the problem, I'm experiencing vaginal discharge, white liquid smells like medication (Idk, hospital smell?) coming off, and start to bleed, A LOT, the blood came from the biggest warts and the warts on 3 layers of warts on my bartholin gland. I stopped using ACV and keep applying petroleum jelly (vaseline or anything, I use the one my doctor gave me on June) it helps the sore and more black seeds coming off with the blood, I was shocked but relief at the same time.

If any of you experienced this before, I would like to ask is it normal for a big wart to bleed? HOW ARE MY WARTS NOW? It's getting smaller and smaller, and the group of warts on my labia minora are getting hard (I assume they are drying and ready to fall off?) the bleeding is not as much as before and my vagina discharge is aslo getting better, not as much white liquid as before.

I hope you guys the best on treating this matter, if you are able to afford medical help, please do! I'm sorry for my english as it's not my native language, feel free to help me with my question, THANK YOU SO MUCH, GOD BLESS YOU!

I read here that warts would turn white upon contact with vinegar, and they do. They almost immediately become inflamed and will stand out. This will likely frighten you. If you have a lot of them, its going to look bad. I had more than 30, so it looked very bad. My heart sank. I thought my life was over. Everything I read said that there is no cure and it could take up to ten years to go away on its own. I wanted to cry. With everything else I am going through in my life, I considered suicide. I have a new love-interest who lives in another state, and I was terrified that I would have to explain to her that I can never have sex and that my equipment is damaged and ugly. With great reluctance, I bought a jar of Apple Cider with mother. Reading all these reviews, I wasn't sure how to begin, particularly because the dosages and treatments vary so much from review to review. Some of the reviews aren't so well-written, and some of them are written by humans who may not be so pragmatic.

So, because I had little regard for myself in the first place, my approach was aggressive. I used a gauze roll soaked in ACV and taped it on with stick-to-self wrap. The first treatment was relatively painless--A slight burn. I left it on for about 6 hours. Sure enough, they had turned bright white. One had even turned black. I felt a little more hopeful. The second treatment was horrid. I left it on over night. Its enough to make you groan and shiver with pain. The next morning, most of them were black. I was in so much pain that I could barely put my socks on. I decided I needed to heal before another treatment. I came back and read some more threads that suggested less intense treatments.

I decided to do some spot-treatments of the ones I missed with waterproof bandaids and cottonballs. It all just became too painful, and I decided that I would resume all treatments once I was fully healed. From there, I focused on healing. I used Hydrogen Peroxide in the shower to dissolve loose skin. It looked like a dog chewed it for fun. I used A&D ointment and also tea-tree oil. The tea tree oil is great--Gives immediate relief from the pain. I also started an intense supplement regimen. Vitamins A, D, E, C, K. B-12, Folate (as methylfolate) and Garlic. Zinc, and Magnesium. I also started adding ACV to my water, and drinking PLENTY of it.

It's been two days, and here's the deal: The warts are 100% gone. The few that I had planned to come back to are gone. I have to wonder, maybe I could have treated this whole mess with only the supplement program, and saved myself the pain. I'll be honest, I don't really care, I am just relieved that they are gone and it looks as though I will have normal equipment by the weeks end.

For those keeping score, I dealt with a really severe case in one week---Treatment to healing. It also pays to know that I am very active. I am a long-distance runner and obsessed with nutrition. I do plenty of pro-biotics including Kombucha and Sourdough. I eat a daily salad. My metablolism is likely faster than most of the reviewers here, and I highly recommend exercise and tons of sleep. Get some bennedril, and knock yourself out for 18 hours and let your body do its thing.

Don't go bonkers like I did with the ACV right away, Its brutal stuff. In the end, I am spending more time healing from the ACV damage than the warts themselves. Settle down. This isn't a big deal. If you've only got a couple, use band-aids and q-tips. If the area is larger, maybe cotton balls. Wrapping your entire equipment like I did should be used only for very severe cases, and by particularly tough individuals. In other words, try getting a grip. Take some deep breaths, listen to some positive music and know that this isn't a big deal, and be careful with the ACV. Its okay. 85% of the population has this, and there is a legitimate cure.

Here's what I should have done:

1. Get your immune system operating on full capacity with a vitamin regimen, exercise, probiotics, sleep, and plenty of water with ACV.

2. Start ACV treatment in one spot at a time for short intervals---1-2 hours max.

3. Heal. Tea-tree. Coconut oil. A&E. Be nice to your equipment. Its not it's fault. Just because this is a 'natural' remedy, doesn't mean it isn't aggressive. Its brutal. Okay? It works. It more than works, it literally NUKES them, and fast. If you've only got a little gang of thugs, don't use a nuke to kill them. A simple hand-grenade will do the trick.

4. Be positive. Settle down. Don't be ashamed. Handle it. Its okay. Go to work. Do your life.

5. Get tested, and tell your partner. Yes, eventually, when my equipment looks beautiful again, I will have to do the right thing, and tell her. If she's a good person, she will understand. I recommend getting vaccinated after the infection is completely cleared, and I will have to recommend to my partner that she does as well before we become intimate. Don't be dumb, and if you know where you contracted it, you might consider calling them and explaining how your beautiful equipment became Chernobyl, despite the fact that you can contract HPV using a condom, just as I did. It simply infects the uncovered areas, and If you're unaware that you're infected, and are masturbating etc, you'll spread it like wildfire. You might even tell said ex-lover about ACV treatment, and direct them to my review.

That's all. Like I said, I thought my life was over. I was skeptical, because I am a pragmatic scientist. I don't tend to put faith in 'natural' remedies in general, but now my only regret is going to the doctor at all. They won't help you. The treatments available are ineffective and take a very long time. My relief today, is palpable. The sun is shining, and so am I. If you're reading this, and losing your mind and feel like crying, just know I wish I could hug you right now. I would tell you to look at me, and settle down. I would tell you its not a big deal at all. I would tell you that you're a good person and that these things happen, and that in a week or two, you'll be right as rain. If you're scientific like I am, you might even almost enjoy this process because it is quite interesting.

Godspeed. Chin up. Small *bumps* in the road--pun intended.

Apple cider vinegar KILLS warts. Just be persistent, & don't stop too early. Only very little stinging pain too. Don't waste your time going to the doctors, just head to the supermarket & get some ACV!

The first night (Day 1) I partially soaked a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and slept with it tucked around the small bumps. I'm so very grateful that I did because the next morning I woke up with the skin white like everyone else described....but more importantly, I found many more small bumps that were clearly under the skin waiting to break the surface. I cleaned the area with some soap and water, changed the cotton ball and allowed it to sit all day.

That night (Day 2) I did the same procedure but this time, lots of the skin from the top of the bumps came off and it exposed pink skin underneath and you could even see the inside of some of the warts (if you've ever had a cold sore, it looked like the inside of one of those). Needless to say, this was the first time it actually burned, but even then, if you go into it expecting the burning sensation, it actually won't be that bad. I just braced myself and laid down until the burning subsided and left the cotton ball there for the rest of the night. The next morning because the skin was so pink, I took off the cotton ball and allowed it to dry out.

Followed the same procedure for Day 3.

Today is Day 4 and almost all of the warts are gone with the exception of two of the bumps that were under the skin on my labia which are now white and look as if they are healing after finally breaking the surface. All the others are gone.

I personally suggest Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother (found mine on Amazon but most supermarkets sell it as well). For soap, I used liquefied Black African Soap with Tea Tree Oil because both ingredients are heralded for healing skin problems as well (can be found at most Whole Foods and Trader Joes). I never experienced the skin blackening (possibly because I have brown skin - I'm mixed), however my skin did get very pink which I think the Black African Soap helped to soothe. Although the burning wasn't too bad for me, I think if your skin is sensitive or the burning sensation is too much, you should definitely do 1/2 water and 1/2 apple cider vinegar or only leave the cotton ball on for 20 minutes or so. Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences and helping naturally and quickly defeat this!

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'm going to keep a running log here for people of my experience. All of the information on here is awesome though. So, my story....

I finally was able to meet a super awesome woman who I met back in May. We did have sexual contact a couple of times. Now, I do clean down "there", but I never noticed anything until about two weeks after we did have sex.

I looked down and there was a dark, mole like, near the top of my penis shaft on the side. So I looked underneath and had about 10 warts down there. I freaked and couldn't sleep. I was worried about the relationship more than myself. I ended up going to the urgent care center and they diagnosed it as HPV. I also took a full STD screening which was clear.

Mid May 16: They prescribed me Aldara. The first week, I put too much on and burned my skin, which still is kinda messed up. I haven't kept up on putting Neosporin or whatever on it, but it did get much better while I used it. I started to put much less Aldara on after that.

So over the next few weeks, of using Aldara, I didn't notice it doing much. I read though that it could take up to 16 weeks. I continued to use it every other day. I didn't skip a day though. Week after week, a few more popped up. I did notice that the two larger ones did start turning white. I was cool with that as I seen something happen finally. Over the next couple of weeks, I noticed a few more pop up here and there. Now they were more of the flat type, slightly raised about a few mm to a cm in size. They were the darker type.

I decided and went to my GP about week 5. I had him give me another complete screening which came back negative for everything. I asked him what I should do about this other than the Aldara. He said just take a multivitamin and they eventually go away. He was not concerned in any way though. I take one multivitamin and a special Vitamin E which contains Alpha Beta, Gamma, and some other kind of Vitamin E had have been since I seen I had these GW.

I'm at week 8 right now and have seen no improvement other than the couple larger stay white. That led me here...

So Day 1: I picked up ACV (Bragg) and took some cotton balls and taped those, soaked, but not dripping, then taped them on my shaft. Within a couple of hours, the few that I tested it on, turned white. I switched the cottonball with new ones every 3-4 hours. After I got home, I took off the dressing and they kinda turned back the old color although much lighter. I just applied another dressing and will update tomorrow. I did not experience any pain whatsoever. I heard it's hit or miss if you do get pain. Till tomorrow folks..... I really hope this goes away quickly as others have had. I also had put Aquaphor on the "good skin" to prevent any kind of burning.

Day 2: Early Morning: I woke up in pain not from the dressing, but putting the tape on too tight because of having a dream.... Anyways... I took it off which was about 2 am. When I woke up to my surprise a few had fallen off and a few were black, the rest were grayish. I lightly scrubbed down there, and it seemed to knock out another. Just pink skin underneath. I put another dressing on around 5am. This is working :)

Night: Decided to take off the one cotton ball as section about a dime size was getting eaten away. Sounds worse than what it was, but stung a bit. Let everything dry out for the night

Day 3: Decided to just cover a few stragglers. Continued to put ointment on the damaged section which is repairing itself as it is turning white.

Day 4: The couple of GW's that were covered were black and scabbed up. I decided to apply the small cotton pieces to those sections again. The section of skin where the Aldara ate away another section of skin was just about cleared up. Showering did remove a couple small stragglers. Also, I noticed a few more GW's (VERY SMALL) pop up in the morning. Those were on near the head. I was very careful not to put too much ACV near there. Those disappeared that night.

Day 5: Still waiting for the area that was damaged from the ACV to clear. The GW's that had scabbed over mostly fell off this morning.
