Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

I applied apv with q tips 2 to 3 times a day, I scrapped bannna skin and applied it to the warts 1-2 times a day or at night sleep. I used baking soda every two days and alcohol when the warts looked like they might get infected. I also applied crush garlic a few times every 2 days and finally vitamin e and vitamin c applied a few times a day and during night.

The pain was bearable, I hate the warts so their pain my gain. The warts all turned white and their tops broke. They never turned black just white and sickly, I did this for close to 2 weeks the smaller warts healed quick but the last 2 were stubborn. They looked septic, moist and red a little bloody sometimes. At this point I stopped everything I just cleaned them using soap in the shower. I took some tape and taped back my foreskin giving me that circumsized look. Well I spent a few hours naked on the bed and wore loose shorts, the last 2 warts lost their white moist color and have dried out. The gaps in my skin are closing up , I hope by tomorrow they should be almost healed. I am going to applied vitamin e for 1 more week once the wounds have closed. I struggled for 2 weeks and spent hours doing this, but it worked. Heres hope for those infected by long term infection.

After spending hundreds of dollars on creams, drops, tablets - none of them working, a mate suggested aldara. HA! This stuff seem to have 'feed' the warts and made the bigger, and invite their 'friends' for a party on my bum.

After reading the many review on earth clinic's web site. I thought, what's the harm is giving it a go, even though I was highly sceptical.

My treatment consisted of the following items:

1. Dry (not wet) Make up remover pads (I'll explain why later)

2. Cotton Bud / Q-tip

3. Vitamin E Gel Caps (optional), and of course

4. ACV!!!

Total price: $11. 50 ($6.50 minus the Gel Caps)

Now the run down, taking into account, I'm a GUY and these little white headed friends of mine we multiplying on my bum just on the outside, and a few on the inside. (sorry for the description, but after reading the site, I wanted to let everyone know how I went about it to help others out there):

NIGHT ONE
I did my treatments prior to going to bed.

1. Take the Make-up Remover pad and dip the pad half way into the ACV, leaving the other half mostly dry.

2. SQUAT on the floor (sorry guys but this is the only way to get it to stay in place) and with a hand mirror on the ground - so you can see what you're doing, gently separate your bum with one hand and then using your finger push the wet end of the pad into your bum hole, squeeze ya butt cheeks together and stand up - this will keep the ACV soaked pad in place and in contact with the affected area. The dry part on the outside of your bum will act as a barrier to absorb any 'leaks'

3. Leave in there for 30 mins (or as long as you can, depending on how much discomfort you may feel). I wouldn't exceed an hour though.

4. After the time, take it out and throw it away. Don't wipe your bum, or wash. Leave as it. Sure you will smell like a pickle, but believe me it's worth it.

NIGHT TWO
OUCH! So my bums a bit sore on Night Two. But stick with it. Had a shower, and gave it a good scrub down there.

All my warts have turned a bright white, however there appears to be more than I first thought. The ACV has exposed even the smallest hard to see ones.

I repeated the Night One treatment on the second night, however this time before the pad, I used a ACV soaked cotton bud / Q-tip and brushed the warts with a bit of pressure.

NIGHT THREE
Alright, Night Three's treatment there is some progress, the smaller ones have turned black and when I wipe a makeup remover pad on my anal area, the black ones fall off. There are a few stubbon ones, that are either layered or just tougher to move. But I stuck through it. Night Three, I repeated the treatment process.

NIGHT FOUR
OH DEAR GOODNESS!! My bum is super red, and raw. I gave the treatment a rest and just focused on the Vitamin E gel caps.

NIGHT SIX
I gave the treatments a rest for a few days, and I have noticed when I wipe my bum area after a shower, little black dots / warts are falling off. After having a look with the mirror. The only ONE that's left is the larger layered one. WHOO HOOO!

Night Six's treatment, I just used a Cotton Bud soaked in ACV to wipe firmly but not aggressively the larger one, sitting the cotton bud on the wart for a few minutes.

NIGHT SEVEN
And we are done. After tonight's shower, the larger one has gone, it's a little red from the ACV but I gently wiped the anal area with a pad soaked in ACV, stung a bit but and used a cotton bud on the area that had the larger one - just to be sure.

I kept this process up every second night until I was happy with the Vitamin E gel caps soothing and restoring the areas, while the light ACV wipe keeps in all in 'check'.

So my recommendation. Give it a try. It's cheap, and while it can be mighty uncomfortable it's worth it. All up the process took about 2. 5 weeks - maybe a little longer for the larger layered one but it give me the most amazing feeling knowing they are not there anymore.

I contracted the genital warts (GW) virus about 2 years ago, although it then took another 2 months to actually come out as a wart on my "member". At first I thought it was an ingrown hair, so for ages I didn't do anything about it, as I'd looked up GW on the internet and they didn't look anything like the bump I had. Luckily, I wasn't sexually active at this time. I then noticed a few more small fleshy pimples show up on my shaft, but again I just thought they were nothing, and that they'd vanish of their own accord - the mind can play tricks on you with your health by the way! Some more months passed by and I realised that they weren't going to shift on their own, so I did a bit of research and after realising that I potentially had GW, I booked in for an appointment with a GP. Surprise surprise, he confirmed I had GW, and prescribed me Warticon. I used this treatment for 4 weeks as directed, but it didn't make a lot of difference. I pursued with it for another 3 weeks, and although the GW were a bit smaller, they were still clearly there.

So, I decided to try the ACV treatment before either going back to the docs, or going down the chinese medicine route (this method had previously got rid of warts on my hand with no regrowths - 8 years and counting). I stuck small cotton balls dipped in ACV to each wart with a plaster (use medical tape to keep in place), for 8 hours daily, for 3 days. They all turned black and scabbed over - result! I then gave myself a rest day, as I'd heard about scarring issues, and then did the same 8 hour treatment for another 3 days.

By this time all of the black scabs (the GW's) had fallen off, but the ACV had left the skin around them a bit damaged, so you should really try and keep the ACV only on the GW's. Saying that though, a week later, the scarring has all but gone, and I look like I did down there before I contracted this annoying virus. It's early days of course, but I've only got good things to say about this alternative treatment. You must be careful with it though, as it's strong, therefore if you're sore take a break, and limit the ACV to only the GW's! Good luck.

I have tried pretty much every technique of getting rid of them; all through the doctors. It seems to me that doctors in general do not have a clue about genital warts! The first was being given a dose of Aldara. 6 petite packages. The instructions read "apply a thin layer of Aldara cream onto the treatment area and rub it gently into the skin until the cream vanishes. Do not use more Aldara cream than is needed". Well my doc didn't give me any idea of how much and the instructions give you less. When I went back to that doctor with a serious fungal infection eating away at everything he told me 'you used too much but I think we have cortorised that wart". Hmm? There was another hundy bucks down the drain. Even I knew that wasn't how Aldara worked.

And so (I've been travelling) I got to the next doctor. This guy was actually good; he told me STRAIGHT that what I have will take a while to get rid of, if at all. He tried freezing them off and I'm sureyou all know by now that when you do that in patches, after a couple of days you see more pop up in the surrounding areas. I tried to get him to just do my whole gent in one go, however I (and I can put up with a fair amount of pain) let him stop when he thought he was done due to the agony. Wuss.

Then the next place I went to just wanted to give me Aldara again! Even after telling him that it didn't work and gave me fungal infections. He insisted that it would if I tried a more gentle aproach. He actually gave me instructions that wern't in the aldara packet. "Apply a tiny bit to the whole area over night (6-10 hours), wash and repeat everyother day". Well, I just had to use antifungal cream everyother day!

The next place and perhaps the most rediculous gave me a vaccine jab against it and said I should take another 2 at $100 dollars each! I was that depressed that I didn't want to tell the useless bastrd that a vaccine only works before you have it. Oh, and he prescribed me more Aldara.

I've gone on long enough, but will keep writing for my own need elsewhere. Also do you all notice the difference in statistics that are written all over the internet and articles in magazines?

I actually think this Apple Cider Vinegar might work! Have had genital warts for 3 years. Don't know who I got it from and don't really care. Apparently it can pop up years after sleeping with anyone and with me it popped up a year after sleeping with anyone.

Wish me luck!

I can't say THANK YOU enough, guys - your advice changed my life around!

God bless you all! Kiwi

Then during the week, I applied to a fairly big one by my pubic hair. I cannot change bandaid so often as I work during the week. And to my shock again, the one by pubic hair has turned black and is almost completely gone. The volume of this one decreased and it is dark and very hard.

Thanks for all who posted reviews as it helped me so greatly. I am forever thankful.

The first night I used a dropper and put undiluted ACV in my rectum and went to bed. A few hours later it wanted to come out. The discomfort was the next day durning a BM. I hoped it was worth it but did not know yet. That evening I looked with a mirror and opened my rectum and the wart was half the size. I waited a couple days and used urine to dilute the ACV. I used the solution as a enema and the pain was much less. So if you want to try the ACV rectally please dilute it and you will be happy you did.

I made a paste using just a teaspoon of both ACV and castor oil and then crushed about 5 aspirins into it. Applied the mixture with a qtip, then cotton balls soaked in it onto the affected area and left it overnight. I had slight discomfort but nothing painful.

Woke up the next morning, inspected the area. The majority of my genital area with the bumps was an extremely bright white color, which I had expected to happen. Some that weren't visible at first also appeared. After showering and letting it dry, I used qtips and applied hydrogen peroxide to prevent spreading. I then applied TTO and a bit of vitamin E oil, as the areas around the large ones were bleeding a little bit. Then I went about my day as usual.

That night, got home from work, went to the washroom. When I wiped I noticed bits of warts on the toilet paper. I went to check the area out, applied a bit more hydrogen peroxide, and I was completely shocked. Almost ALL of the warts were gone. There must've been at least 20 that rubbed off. Not even a full 24 hours after starting treatment!!

I am going to let the area have a break for a night or two, then resume the ACV paste on the areas that are still affected. Good luck to everyone, and thanks to all who posted their experiences with this remedy I am forever grateful!

While showering I felt a bump on my perineum above my anus. I immediately got out and looked in a hand mirror and found skin tags surrounding my vaginal opening. It clearly was something std related and seemed to have appeared overnight. I went to the hospital right away - wet hair and all. I was hysterical in the exam room explaining the situation. The doctor checked me out and said to keep an eye on it. Diagnosed me with skin tags and said it probably wasn't genital warts even though I explained that I had hpv.

I didn't believe her, I looked at pictures online and the placement, size and shape were dead on with that of genital warts. Came across this site and decided to take action and try the Apple Cider Vinegar and gentle medical tape. Skipped the tea tree oil to save money.

First night: dipped cotton balls in Apple Cider Vinegar and placed them between my labia against the vaginal opening and against my perineum. Left in for about 2 hours. Not much burning at all, I thought everyone on here was just being wimpy. I checked and the warts had turned white, revealing exactly how many I had. 1 medium tag and some small ones around the opening; plus 3 or 4 trailing down to my anus. great.

Before bed same night: I soaked a tampon in Apple Cider Vinegar and placed it between my labia again in the same spot against the warts. not much burning, I slept fine besides the thoughts racing through my mind..

Woke up next morning: and checked in the mirror, warts were even whiter and some were grayish now. Glad this is working!

That afternoon: I decided to take three cotton balls and really soak them in acv, they were almost dripping. Infact they did drip a bit when I put them in. This session really did it. And this is also where the BURNING came in. 2nd time and twice as much acv. I was whimpering to myself and standing on my tippy toes. The pain did make me queasy but I just stuck it out and it became bearable after ten minutes or so.

After about 2 hours of passing time on the computer and watching tv to take my mind off of it, I pulled the cotton balls out. I'm very sore at this point, jumped in the shower to rinse (still sore but getting relief). I checked in the mirror and now they were black-ISH. Don't take the blackening so literally. Mine were just a darker shade of gray. I rubbed at the warts with a clean finger/small wad of toilet paper and they were wiping off!! THANK YOU GOD. I took the tip of my fingernail and lightly scratched at the surface of the biggest tag, it came right off. as gently as I could I scratched the entire surface off and it was pretty much painless dead skin.

The Apple Cider Vinegar had penetrated the flesh of the warts, making them super soggy. They never scabbed for me, they just wiped away leaving pink healthy skin underneath.

I dabbed a cotton ball with hydrogen peroxide on the the affected area to promote healing/kill germs/prevent spreading of the warts.

This is day TWO, two sessions a day and I don't have to see that nastiness when I look in the mirror anymore. I have my beautiful healthy smooth pink vagina back. well sort of! I'm still a little swollen but its going down by the hour.

Thank you so much everyone for sharing your experience with this monster of a disease. Good luck and I truly believe Apple Cider Vinegar can work for everyone. If you didn't have luck, you might not have saturated the cotton ball with enough acv. or maybe you didn't have direct firm contact to the warts (your cotton ball slid away or shifted).

I am aware that I still have hpv and the warts could pop up at any time but this has been a very stressful few months. I will make an effort to stay stress free and take vitamins to boost my immune system. I can always repeat this treatment if I need to. It only took two days and about 10 minutes of REAL pain. Was very worth it, I will sleep peacefully tonight with my confidence and self worth intact :)

I stopped the Aldara and 3-4 days later started with ACV. I applied a small piece of a cotton ball for only about 15-20 minutes two nights in a row, and on the third morning the wart was GONE! I would recommend before leaving it on all night and making your skin raw, to just try for 15 minutes at a time first. This worked and I couldn't be happier!

Thank you SO MUCH!

I stumbled across some sites that talked about ACV as treatment, I had no idea what ACV stood for. Once I found out I did some research read over 100 stories/post about, googled every site I could find. That same night around 1am I drove to walmart purchased a bottle of ACV $1.17, and thought, well I've already spent over $2,000 in other treatments what could another $1.17 hurt. I will say this was the best decision of my life!!!

The first night I did the treatment I could only do it for 30 min, the next 1hr, the next about 4 or 5 hours. I took a break because I was traveling, however I have noticed that my warts have disappeared faster than ever before, there are still a few left but I am assuming once I start the treatments again they will go away.

DO NOT SPEND MONEY GOING TO THE DR. This is the BEST and CHEAPEST treatment. I will admit it can, no it will be painful, however it will be totally worth it, you will be wart free!!! This was the best thing I could have stumbled across!!!
