Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

I've been treating either a little wart or molluscum on shaft of penis. It showed up after a few months of having one below my belly button.

A week ago I started with Apple Cider Vinegar 24/7. It started off getting white and puffy per usual. After a few days it turned black. Then it started to get loose and peel. I simply "helped in just a bit and it came off leaving a crater. This is where I get confused!

The skin in the crater was white. I kept doing ACV on it only at night, and during the day running coconut oil and tree oil on it.. The crater was the size of a pencil eraser. This morning when I removed the bandage I have the size of a dime all covered in White!!! Now I'm scared! I thought this was working. Why did the diameter get so much bigger? Should I continue the ACV? Or is this a common reaction to an open wound from the ACV?

I just don't understand after a week why the diameter just got so much bigger in solid white!

Please as much feedback from all you will help me!

I went back to the doctors and he suggested that I start treating them at home with acid that he prescribed. 3 weeks later, more warts appeared!

So I started doing some research and found this site. That was a week ago. I started treatment and despite the burning I continued to treat (Being it actually was less painful than the acid). I keep a close eye on my warts to make sure they were not spreading.

Well much to my surprise today when I went back to the ob this morning the Doctor had the nerve to say "Well I see the acid if finally starting to work, all the warts close to your anus are gone and most of the others have reduced in size. I told you that it could take weeks to see results."

So I told him flat out what I was using and he told me that it was not the traditional way but as long as it was working to keep treating.

After 5 days and no effect he prescribe desowen and travocort ointments which seemed to not work either. So I decided to take on this matter personally and found out about this site and decided to try Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV).

I first just poured a few drops to the affected area and the warts whitened instantly. The burn was unlike anything I'd ever experienced in that area but it mitigated over the course of few minutes. I repeated it once more the following day and the initial cluster turned slightly grey but the others remained white. The third day I noticed that my method was affecting the rest of the head since the area that came in contact with the ACV was very raw red.

I applied the desowen and travocort I was prescribed and did nothing else. The fourth day I decided to use a q-tip to only put ACV on the areas that needed it. I did this the next day too. The areas began to shed skin to the point where I could just rub some of it off, exposing the clean raw red skin underneath. I was very relieved. Now I have no visible warts. I still do have some skin that needs shedding and some parts of my head are red but I have no warts.

All in all it took me about 6 days of on and off ACV to clear what I believe to be GW. The urine test came back negative for traces of the virus inside the urethra so I'm not sure what was up. Im just waiting for my skin to recover but I wanted to share my story because all the other testimonials were very helpful. I've tried tea tree oil as well before ACV but it only stung without no visible effect.

Hope this helps!

The past 6 months of my life have been very stressful with work, travel, and family. I have not been eating or exercising as well as I normally do, and have not been drinking enough water either. And I have been drinking more alcohol than normal and smoking marijuana.

Then a couple of days ago I realize the couple of bumps I have down there are not in-grown hairs or pimples. Absolutely horrifying to me to realize they are general warts. So so gross and embarrassing. It was the first time in my life to ever have them (and I am hoping my last).

First I freaked out, called my BFF, cried. THEN I made an appointment with my doctor, THEN I started researching home remedies and reading about Apple Cider Vinegar on this site. I thought it couldn't hurt to give it a try.

I did not do the Q-tip Band-Aid method however. I was concerned about leaving the vinegar on the wart for that long.

Here is what I did. I just got some Organic ACV with the veil of the mother in it (I don't know what that means but apparently it's good for you). Shake up the vinegar, soak little pieces of paper towel OR a Q-tip in the vinegar, then gently press directly onto the wart. Leave it on for a couple of minutes, then get a fresh Q-tip / paper towel, soak it, press gently on the wart again. Repeat this process until each wart has been treated with ACV for about 10-20 minutes.

It will start to burn and turn white after about 5 minutes, that's how you know for sure it's genital warts. The burning is not so bad you can't stand it, but if it ever gets too much, just take the vinegar off the wart and end the treatment until next time.

I have been doing this twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. After 5 treatments, the warts are so much smaller, I can tell this is seriously working very well. I still have another 5 treatments until my doctor appointment, so I'm hoping they will be cleaned up by then.

However, I will say, it's important to still go see the doc when you get warts in my opinion. You have to make sure they are not inside anywhere, plus there are probably a few warts you can't see but are hidden in your private areas. I think I have one on my butthole and in one other area that's pretty hard to get to by myself with ACV. So, I'm hoping the doctor can just quickly burn those off, and then I can focus on just eating healthy and exercising and getting my body back in balance so I can suppress this horrible disgusting virus.

Final note, After the ACV treatment, I swiped my surrounding healthy, non-wart skin with Aloe because the little bit of ACV that touches it can make it dry and itchy.

So, Yes, ACV works well to reduce the size of the warts after just 2-3 days, and I'm sure if I keep using it it will remove the visible ones all together. But, I advise to go to the doctor too. Not something you want to take risks on with at-home remedies alone.

I was happy to see that I had all the supplies in my cabinets.

1. ACV

2. Q-tips

3. Bandaids

4. Scissors and tweezers

so I filled the bottle cap with ACV, then I cut the sticky part of the bandaids off. Then I ripped the top of the q-tips off, rolled it into a small ball. Then I used the tweezers to dip the little ball In ACV. Then I placed it right in the center of the sticky part of the bandaid. I placed it directly on the wart.

Within in a couple of hours I took a peek. I have a I was skeptical because even the Aldara didn't work. I was so happy to see thar the warts turned white!!! So I placed the bandaid back on and went about my day. That night I changed the dressing and when I placed the new tiny piece of cotton on it did sting a bit. It stings just as much as the acid solution that the doctor used. I went to bed and was so excited to check the differnce the next morning! They had turned a bit gray and the top layer of the warts wiped away. So I repeated the steps again and went to work. I did the same at night. They never turned black like some people say. By the tired day I decided to give myself a break to allow them to dry out. By that night I had what looked like a scab, even on the skin around the wart. I know ACV is very strong So it's important to protect the skins surrounding the wart. The next day when I showered the scan just wiped right off without any pain. The Wart was gone as well!!!! And as the days went by the same was happening to the rest of them! I am so happy! Especially considering that I thought I was doomed to be suffering with these for the rest of my life! I'm aware that it's possible for me to still have a recurrence of GWs but this is a fast effective way to get relief. My doctor said Aldara can take up to 12 weeks to work. I'm not sure who has time like that to wait! Doctors visits can really add up in cost.

ACV is amazing!!!!! Good luck!!

I immediately stopped smoking, drinking, and began exercising and eating healthy, taking vitamins and supplements. After 3 months of going in every 2 weeks for cryotherapy, my warts continued to spread and I would go to get the new tiny ones burned off. I got tired of it never being an explanation of why I couldn't beat this outbreak regardless of being super careful and working on my health. It was starting to effect my relationship.

I found these posts on earth clinic and the ACV cleared everything up within days!!! I used cotton pads soaked in the Apple Cider Vinegar which initially revealed I had dozens of tiny little warts that were most likely ready to pop up to the surface and reveal themselves in the coming weeks. They only showed after maybe 20 minutes of the ACV. I realized It would be impossible to "spot-treat" my warts. I've come to learn that I have a complicated vaginal area and the typical rules never work for me.

Anyway, I began covering my labia with 4 cotton pads to attack all of the invisible warts because they all started peeking out once the vinegar was applied. I used organic Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother. Anyway I would put on a maxi pad to hold the soaked cotton pads in place and I kept it on for 4 hours each night for 4 nights. After the 4 hour treatments I would get in the shower, wash gently and spray with peroxide to kill any lingering traces of the virus. Then after shower I would slather aquaphor on to soothe my burning skin. Each day the warts would do the white, grey/black, then fall off and reveal pink. Gradually there were less and less until the 4th night when there were no more but I did the treatment one last time just to kill more of the virus. In the following nights I applied aquaphor daily to heal the skin and things were perfectly normal in a matter of weeks. If I would have kept pouring my money into that dermatologist I would have been making her rich. She never did anything to reveal the hidden warts that may have been just below the surface or too small to be visible. I would have been going in to get cryo for months, years even!! And when I went back to her cleared up she asked how I did it. I told her about the ACV and she said to be careful because it's not safe. That's BULL!!! DOCTORS JUST WANT YOUR MONEY AND LOYALTY. THE REMEDIES FOR HEALING ARE GIVEN TO US BY THE EARTH AND NATURE!!

I had INCREDIBLE PAIN and a discharge coming from the anal area and said discharge would burn my skin and the swelling would hurt like HELL when going to use the toilet. This discharge would have a yellowish color and gross smell. When you have any type of discharge is best to keep cleaning and drying the area to stop spreading or damage to skin.

The Dr. told me it was candida and gave me some pills ($30) and it was gone in a week. A year after, it came back, I wasn't able to go to a Dr. So I googled as I already knew what it was. I found ACV baths... basically you take a bath with half a bottle of ACV daily, I would also stick a garlic clove down there and let the bath be as long and hot as possible to let the skin absolve everything (it would burn a bit), also used greek yogurt in the area afterwards and drank a lot of it everyday, (the good bacteria would help the immune system evict the fungus demons from the body) I would this very soothing and helpful as it was COLD and refreshing. IT disappeared faster than with medication!

Experience 2: HPV / WARTS!!

This was SCARY. It started with one peanut sized thingy below the anus. It got itchy at first, then it grew and discharge begun... I thought it was candida again, but then other friends started trailing right below towards my BALLS, they where little ones that clustered in a line, then more on the side!! And they all had discharge that didn't smell and was transparent. After research I had no doubt I had HPV. Sad thing is I have been married at this point for 2 years. Anyway, they all grew and got painful and super leaky when sitting, I wanted to die. As if that wasn't enough the little f*rs started popping up near the tip of my penis. But these are just red flat small thingies on the foreskin. I wanted to go to a Dr. but decided to give ACV a go.

At first I naively stuck a piece of toilet paper with ACV down my crack and left it there since I had so many. WRONG. It burnt the S*t out of me and nearly killed me. As many said, don't apply ACV on healthy skin as it will burn it. What this blessing substance does, it kills the virus or bacteria or fungus by destroying the skin it's in layer by layer! The pain was unbearable but after reading this page I had to keep going (persistence will pay off) I went to see and they ALL TURNED WHITE AND DOUBLED IN SIZE. I knew I was doing something right (read somewhere that if they turn white they're warts and if they hurt like that, they are definitely warts, but dunno if that's for sure a reliable diagnosis?) I kept at it for two days like 3x / day and each time they would turn white, then start slowly pealing and then go back to flesh colored but smaller. It doesn't hurt when you apply it, but after 5 mins, so apply it fast then bite a towel! For large ones like mine you must work your way through its layers as it peals of and BE PERSISTENT. Now they are pretty small and nearly dying. They don't hurt anymore and I think I might be out of the woods but who knows. The smaller ones just slowly disappeared. I am just glad the pain is gone and you can tell when your skin is feeling better.

Thank you again and I wish everyone reading the best, this may or not be your fault as HPV is not only sexually transmitted, and it's hard to even detect. But the fact of the matter is you are not alone and are being proactive. USE ACV!!!!! Good luck!!!!!!

I leave it on as long as possible, overnight and during the day, and put on a fresh one when I feel it has dried out. The area will turn white, mine raised up, almost like skin that has been in water for too long. Yesterday was the third day and the blackish/grayish coloring started. This morning, they started to slough off, I have 4 in a cluster next to my clitoris, and I showered carefully, and put another application on. I am going to keep up on this, because it is working. Good luck to everybody out there suffering with this horrible std!!! And thank you to earth clinic and all of you for helping me out!!!

I got tea tree oil and vit e gels, applied them to wart and around area. Today I just hold the skin on it, and it came off with no pain, skin under that is pink in color and still raw. I wish it will heal soon and I will get good skin. This happened in like days..

Apple Cider Vinegar stings so bad in such delicate areas. I kept Apple Cider Vinegar 24/7. My husband used to put Apple Cider Vinegar on it tape it clean it. He supported like no one in the world. Try ACV. It worth pain. Surely gives result. Thanks to this site.

The first GW I noticed was in middle school, never having been sexually active. They were on the upper part of my inner labia near my clitoris. Tags and clusters that were small but became larger, mainly the tags. I experienced some tenderness and soreness during their growth and even sores at their bases, but these symptoms faded rather quickly and the growths did not continue. I decided if it appeared "serious" I would get help but otherwise put it out of my mind.

Over the years the GW remained. Depending on my health (compromised immune system, blood pH levels, and any chemicals and toxins from the environment or food sources) I noticed my warts would become inflamed, tender, sore, and even grow, sometimes sprouting new GW.

To curb this I decided to live and eat a healthier lifestyle which has significantly helped over the years even though I did nothing directly to the GW. Over time they became less sensitive, greyed, and even blackened. Some fell off but many still remain but are very, very small.

A while back I noticed a soreness forming one side of my inner labia. It was just one GW and I had been through this before, so I did my best not to irritate it but did no direct treatments. The symptoms ceased and the wart became desensitized enough that I could not notice it.
Once again I decided to do nothing about this condition of mine. That all changed recently.

A felt a soreness near my anus and at the base of my outer labia after having sex with my partner. At first I thought that we had just been a bit rough during sex. The thought of GW lingered in my mind in the following days. I kept watch and sure enough over the next few days the growths formed. The ones on the base of my outer labia are small clusters while the four at my anus are broad flaps. I have also always been skeptical of the tissues at the entrance of my vagina. One at the base of the whole has become rather plump as well. Left untreated I'm sure the GW would form into clusters and tags, and possibly continue growing whereas previously I had been fortunate enough in that regard.

So I'm here to jump on the ACV healing bandwagon for my self diagnosed HPV infection. Whether this is a reoccurring strain or a new one (my partner had been with one other woman and some time later she told him that she had contacted an STD from another partner that she was with). Either way, with how extremely common this is, and with so many people having the GW STD but having nothing to show for it, I could have gotten it from anyone. And not to mention, how did I even get it in the first place? I was a middle schooler! Haha

In the beginning of my research (a few hours) I was going with an organic cold pressed coconut oil, organic tea tree oil, organic lavender oil, organic oregano oil, and organic sulfur compound but after reading everyone's stories here I really wanted to give ACV a go! I bought the organic ACV (organic is my preference and works best with my body) and some hydrogen peroxide. Both for under $10.

I consider myself to be in a precarious situation. I could be celibate for life without issue. However I do currently have a partner and very much enjoy the exchanges we have. I don't want to jeopardize him and I want us to have more fun times together. Additionally, I'd really like to have a youthful looking vagina again. Although my growths were never to the point that any previous partners were perturbed or even gave it a second thought, until the last growth phase. And I really should have exercised more caution with them. Shame on me for that.

Anyways, on to the good stuff!

First, I washed the affected area in the shower with my organic tea tree oil body wash. I think it'll also help and has always been soothing to my body. After that I took a hydrogen peroxide soaked cotton swab to the affected areas. Application did burn a little however. I limited the hydrogen peroxide specifically to the outmost GW and not the ones at the entrance of my vagina, as that area is far too sensitive to deal with atm (actually, I just need to dilute the doses but one step at a time)

Second, I followed up by dabbing ACV on the GW with a Q-Tip. This burned a little too but knowing that this wasn't nearly enough from recommendations from everyone here and also for how ambitious I was feeling I went ahead and doused a cotton ball in ACV, non diluted, and stretched it so that when applied it'd touch all affected areas and nestle nicely without having to tape it in place. This burrrrned! I sucked it up and bore with the pain, taking the swab away when it was too much then putting it back on after the pause until I was able to tolerate it. It also subsided to a tolerable level but was still present. Sitting correctly was a problem for the first few moments as the added pressure was too much, but that too I was able to do in time comfortably.

After about an hour or so when I noticed the ACV was not burning as much (no pain no gain right? haha) I decided to change out the swab. Lo and behold those GW suckers were white. I knew it! The bastards! Argh! Haha (Admittedly, they were already a bit white before I started any direct treatment. I believe that's my immune system at work.) Thoroughly happy, I touched up with hydrogen peroxide again then applied a new ACV swab. It was a repeat of the first time, but with a bit more intensity before everything settled. I've had this swab in for about 6-7 hours now and as it is not stinging as greatly I'm minded to change it now so that it's comfortable enough for an overnight duration, as well as to check on my progress! Hee~

Just got back from the latest treatment and can confirm, the stuff is working. The GW are not just white, but have a greyish hue. Additionally, I can see small dots or ghastly white patches where the virus was but I had not been able to see them before. I'm glad I decided to swab a general area instead of just the visible growths to get a better understanding of my situation. The white seems to be at the entrance to my vagina as well, but it's hard to tell because of my normal fluids. I took pictures.

This time was the third application today and since I am going to bed I decided to give a bit of care to my skin. As I washed with my tea tree oil bodywash I noticed that the GW were tender, particularly at the base where they were rooted. I took care not to jostle them too much. Out of all symptoms I've ever had mine have always been relatively minor, only unbearable if significantly aggravated by friction, chemicals, etc. Then, I generously swabbed up with hydrogen peroxide. This had almost no bite at all. I decided to let my skin breathe a bit and the solution to dry before applying the cotton swab.

After forming the swab to my satisfaction I doused it with coconut oil, then ACV, then tea tree oil, and finally lavender oil. I'm not happy at the thought that this may have diluted the ACV too much, but I really want to nourish my skin at least a little in this process. I also believe that the antibacterial and antimicrobial agents in the various additives I added will make up for the loss of ACV. Since sleep is very important I don't want to miss out on that because I'm too uncomfortable, or wake up to a dreadful pain. haha It may happen anyways, but ya can't blame a girl for trying. Ha!

This swab went on with a lot less pain. I thought it wasn't rooted enough so I fiddled with it after which there was a bought of more intense pain, but still not the most painful I have felt thus far. Possibly the least at fresh application. I did a happy dance till the pain became tolerable. It also dulled in a good amount of time. I'm already sitting comfortably on my bum right now about 10-15min after and will be able to sleep with ease.

I'm excited to see what happens in the following days. To anyone browsing this page I hope the recent and older testimonies from so many people will give you as much understanding, joy, peace, hope, and vigor as it has given me. This situation has been daunting to me but now I feel like I can power through it all! My partner doesn't believe that this will work, he'd rather I go to a physician which I do not want nor have the money at the moment to see. Too much money! No real cures, treatments that get to the root of the cause! The mistaken belief that average people are too dumb and able to handle their own ailments with tried and true techniques spanning centuries! I won't buy into that mumbo jumbo. If someone is trying to pressure you out of doing this ACV healing I hope you won't either. Prove it with science or see it for yourself I always say.

Lastly, a few tidbits:

1. Stay positive. GW are caused by a virus, a virus that our bodies were made and equipped to completely eliminate even below the surface. You're -not- alone and you -can- do this. We're all in it with you! <3

2. Stay healthy. Make sure that your blood pH is not acidic. Exercise. Eat organic and as raw as you can, avoiding sugar which acts similar to cocaine in our bodies and feeds bacteria and yeasts while tainting the blood. Find an organic supplement drink/shake. Add some supplements (vitamins-- D, A, E, C, K; and minerals-- zinc, colloidal silver, organic sulfur; and algae-- spirulina, chlorella, astaxanthin) to help a body out. The more the merrier, because the less your body has to work hard to be efficient. There are so many out there and many combinations you can make especially designed for your body. Drink lots of water. Drink lots of herbal teas. Hygiene properly.

3. Never give up the good fight. You're worth it. Your body is worth it. Become it's ally and fight alongside it with conscious decisions like ACV healing. Once you've healed tell your story so that others can be enlightened and we can dispel the deliberate lie that natural treatments don't work/can't exist.

Until next I post, happy ACV everyone! <3
