About 6 weeks ago, i noticed 2 small warts developing, I went to a doctor that prescribed me Aldara. After a week of using Aldara, I noticed redness and ulcers in the area. My Dr told me to stop using Aldara to let it heal. I stopped using it and the warts went away for a few days after the affect area was healed and then started developing warts again. So I continued with my aldara treatment. After not seeing any results, and fearing the same redness and ulcerations. I decided to try ACV.
After just 3 days the warts are gone! I started my treatment by drinking an ACV tonic. 2 teaspoons with a glass of water(8-10oz), 2x a day(you can add a teaspoon of honey if the taste is unbearable). I used the cotton tip from a cotton swab soaked in ACV and left it the warts for 15-45 minutes several times a day.I wasn't able to tape it in place, like others had recommended because it was in the folds of my vulva and they were really small. Make sure to use a fresh cotton swab tip every time. ACV burns a little but not as bad as the side effects from Aldara.
After the first day/application the warts turned white. The second day I noticed some redness and irritation, and it burned a little when i treated it. My warts never turned completely black, but did turn greyish in the center( I'im assuming this is because they were really small, I'm talking tip of a ball point pen small). In between treatments, I applied a small dab tree tea oil to the affected area, and after every time I used the rest room because it would just rub off. I stopped treatment on the 3rd day because on night 2 the burning was unbearable, luckily the warts had fallen off. I still applied a small amount of tree tea oil to the area several times a day. The infected area is slightly pink with white and minor irritation. I think the white is dead skin that is going to fall off soon, much like when you get a blister.
HPV is a virus that needs to be fought off by your immune system, so I increased my vitamin C intake as well. I had a pap that came back negative for HPV, but that doesn't mean you don't carry the virus, it just means that no HPV cells were found in the cervix. As a side note I also suffered from acute depression/anxiety, and after drinking the ACV tonic my symptoms have also improved greatly, and overall in a better mood.
I am going to continuing drinking the tonic, and applying tea tree oil and do one more ACV treatment once the irritation goes away. I am so thankful for stumbling upon this site because the ACV treatment is way more effective than Aldara. I hopeful that the warts will not return again.

I just started seeing my warts about 2 months ago and got kinda worried. About a week ago I started reading about genital warts on the internet and it made me even more worried, thinking all i could do is go to the doctor to get rid of them. which i didnt want to unless i really really had to. Then I saw this site and read all the comments about using ACV. I didn't think that it would work for me but i thought i might as well try it. I used tissue and poured just a small amount of the ACV on it and taped it around all three of the warts just over night. I'm on the third day of it and they are almost shrunk down to nothing. first day they turned white or greyish, second day were pretty much all black, and now just about gone. I'm starting to just use a cuetip with the ACV for about 10 minutes a few times a day because surrounding area is kinda sore from it. im also hydrogen peroxide to clean it all and aloe and vitamin e lotion to help heal it. I'm taking multi-vitamins and garlic just to maybe help it a little. I'm sure within the next couple of days the warts will be completely gone. This website has helped me and i think the ACV will work for anyone.

I saw about ACV and how it treats GW on youtube. i didnt want to mess with it without knowing how exactly it would work on me. i had my dermatologist's appointment today to burn them. i did this morning. it hurts. anyway last week i applied to ACV to my anus where i have 3-4 warts. i applied it only for 3 times. i soaked a cotton ball and taped it for 30 mins each for 1st 2 times then 2 hours for 3rd (last) time. could not do for any more times as it hurt. and my skin was very itchy and was burning. after 2nd use, i saw the skin became lighter. only 1-2 warts. after using 3rd time, one of them came of as i was washing them .i did not use ACV after that as i did not want to make my skin sore before the doctors treatment. but 2 days ago, i realized all of the 5 warts arround my anus have gone. i was happy.anyway i am positive that it will help me in future.
i have a ques, does any one know how to diagnose internal warts? so far i can see inside my vagina, i dont see any bad color or skin. i have pap next saturday.hopefully it will come normal.pray for me and it will be helpful if any further advise can be given.

So I gave it a few more days and the ACV definitely did work! I think I was expecting it to work in 3 days because it did for some, but everyones bodies are different. Mine worked in about 5 days. I really started to see a difference using a Q-Tip instead of a cotton ball. Since I only had one very small wart, the cotton ball burned a lot of my good skin. My wart was at the very opening of my vagina which was an extremely hard spot to get a band-aid to stick. Instead what I did was applied ACV to the end of a q-tip and held it onto the wart for just about 10 minutes every day. The direct pressure on the wart itself made all the difference.
Don't freak out if your wart does not turn black, mine didn't. It stayed white, and eventually got smaller, until I could just scrape it away. Today, it appeared to be completely gone. I'm hoping it stays gone and that I don't have another out-break in the future, but if I do, at least I know I have this wonderful site to post my ordeal on. You are all beautiful & strong people for getting through this!

I recently discovered a small growth on the inside of my vagina, and within a month there were two more. I was almost certain they were warts, so I looked up home remedies on the internet and came across this site. I read all the positive feedback and hoped that it would work for me too, and it did! I applied the vinegar onto the affected area, and immediately all of them, even ones I couldnt see, turned white. It stung just a bit, and I did experience some throbbing, but nothing even close to unbearable discomfort. I left a wad of cotton with vinegar on it for about four hours, and then removed it and went to bed. The next morning the little ones, the ones invisible to the naked eye had turned black, and the one i first discovered was disintegrating.. I couldnt believe it! So I decided that I must give my feedback on this site too, as its such an embarassing issue, and this is such an effective cure! Thank you to all who have posted here.

I had been struggling with genital warts for two years and tried Aldara which did absolutely nothing except cost me $40 even with a great insurance plan...they started spreading and I had finally given up and called my doctor to have them frozen off when I decided to try online for home remedies and came across this website.
I immediately went out and bought some hydrogen peroxide and some apple cider vinegar. It cost me about $6 altogether and after the first night the warts were a whitish color, second night of treatment the turned completely black, 3rd night no change so i decided to stop treatment and let them dry out as I heard that once black it means they are dead.
By day 5 the black warts fell off completely leaving my penis completely smooth with no scarring whatsoever and I am absolutely amazed.
This remedy absolutely works, takes little to no time and doesnt hurt half as bad as some people seem to say.

Well, I've been trying the ACV method for the first time for about a week now to hopefully rid myself of genetal warts. It seems to be working based on the comments and stories I've read on here, however, the pain and stinging from the ACV has become too unbarable and I've had to stop for (hopefully) a couple of days. I'm uncircumsized and have one wart on the head of my penis where the shaft and head meet (forgive me for not knowing the term) and a couple of small ones under the foreskin on my shaft that I couldn't see untill I started treatment. My problem is that they're all covered by my foreskin which makes treating them difficult and my skin got all irritated (hence why I'm stopping for a couple of days). I've tried using one guys 3 week method of wrapping my entire penis in ACV soaked paper towel and covering it with plastic wrap (this helped find the small ones) I clean the area with HP and use vitamin tea tree oil creams to help the healing. I guess the questions that I'm asking is, by stoping treatment for a couple of days, is it going to bring me back to square one? Are there any other guys that could offer some advice who have the same problem? Thank's in advance.

I was really hoping that I was going to be able to post something positive here about apple cider vinegar for two warts on my wang...and after three days, I get too...Honestly, truthfully, and on the real...this stuff works...and I had zero pain. I can see that it may sting in some cases. But for the two on my member, I didnt even feel a pinch. I first cleaned each wart with hydrogen peroxide as reccomended by some other dude on here. I took a Q tip and soaked it in ACV. I then cut the tip in half and placed it on the offending wart. I placed a round small bandaid on top. I did this around midnight and went to sleep. Next day, the wart was white and already beginning to look like it was it was going to come off. 2nd night, same thing, next morning, wart was darker and half falling off. I washed it in the shower using a loofa an pretty much all of it came off. I then covered the skin with vitamin E from a gel pill that i popped with a safety pin. I did the treatment for a third night on the tiny bump that was left on the shaft. Still no pain. Some of the skin around the wart turned slightly blackish which is why i applied the vitamin e. in the morning I showered and scrubbed and everything was gone, including the blackish skin that surrounded the wart...I towel dried and rubbed some neosporin+pain on the reddish aread where the last tiny bump had come off when I showered this morning. As of this post I elimintaed two warts that I had on my shaft for almost 6 months in 3 painless days and it only cost me about 5 bucks. I promise it works.
Side note: On the first day of ACV treatment I started taking 4 garlic pills/ day, 1 1000mg vitamin E pill/ day, 1 multivitamin/day, I drink 2 cups of each orange juice and apple juice a day, and took a 1 oz shot of ACV the first and third night of treatment (and will continue to do so every other night for the next month or 3). I chase each shot with a FULL glass of water without stopping until its completely done. Remember, you just swallowed acetic acid. I also ... often, drink about 8 glasses of water, and go to the gym and/or do something athletic outside every day. I surf weekly. I also sleep at least 8 hours every night. During the 3 days of treatment I left the ACV on the entire time I was sleeping and did not remove until I woke up. Good luck, I promise it really does work, just be patient, positive, and pray to whoever it is you pray to.

OMG!!! I practice medicine and I have to say that the Apple Cider Vinegar actually works!!! I have been in a relationship for 2 years and was recently diagnosed with HPV/anal condyloma (warts). So, my primary care and my derm put me on Aldara and used liquid nitrogen to freeze them. After reading all the side effects and length of time it would take the Aldara to work I thought of looking into some home remedy and found Earth Clinic's website (THANKFULLY!) I bought some ACV and used regular toilet paper and applied it for 45 minutes. I couldn't believe my eyes! All the areas with the HPV (not only the warts themselves) turned whitish. So bascially it was treating areas that I would never have known to be infected. So that night, as many recommended by people who've posted, I slept with cotton balls soaked with ACV. The next morning I could already see a difference. The areas that were whitish were now greyish and in some areas black. I repeated the process again that night and though kinda sore (it does sting a little at first for sure), I kept it on over night. By the 2nd day the warts DISAPPEARED and some areas that had turned blackish were a little excoriated. So, I have been using neosporin and Vit. E gel to alleviate any possible irritation. It has been about a week and the area is almost totally healed. DEFINITELY give this a try!!!!

I was cursed with hpv after 7 months of a relationship not knowing what the hell to do. I went to the gyno & got them frozen off and it was the worst experience of my life, so I was really hesitant to go back when they re-appeared. I saw this website and got some ACV and Tee Tree Oil. I taped a little peice of cottonball damp with ACV over all of them. The pain gets worse as it gets better but it's not nearly as bad as the pain of the gyno freezing them off. To make the stinging subside I'd put some Tea Tree Oil on a Q-Tip & apply it, it also helps any scarring. To my surprise in the past week and a half I've gone from about 10-15 warts to 1 without one trip to the horrifying gyno. I am SO happy that I found this site and that other people could give me their input. 2 more days I won't have to worry about these nasty things anymore. If you're skeptical, try it! It seriously works.

YES! ACV WORKS!! I used the ACV on one wart near the anal area, and it turned black and fell off after ONE treatment! The rest of mine were located right inside my vagina, within the first inch or so. I was hesitant, but I decided to do it anyways, so here's what I did (sorry, it's so long but VERY helpful):
I took a cotton ball and saturated it in diluted ACV (about half and half, maybe a little more ACV than water). Then, I stuck it right inside the opening to cover the ones within that 1 inch region. I left it there for about an hour or so, maybe a little longer. I figured that since it's such a sensitive area, I'd better not do it too often. So then I took it out and left it alone for about 2 hours, then I stuck another one (same solution) in and left it for about 20 or so minutes, then took it out. After these treatments my labia was SO SWOLLEN and it was definitely burning a lot and then subsiding after a little while, then it would get bad again. So then, I took some Vitamin E capsules I bought and poked a hole in them and rubbed them all around my labia, then inserted one all the way up in my va-jay-jay, and the other right inside the first 1 inch region so it could break and run down and coat that area.
The next day, my labia was very raw looking, so I decided maybe I shouldn't do the ACV again, so I just repeated the Vitamin E treatment the same way as before. (ladies you may want to put a small panty liner in your panties so that when the vitamin E drips down it doesn't get all sticky/hard in your panties.
The next day, I woke up and looked at it and it looked really gross! Almost like a chunky, white discharge! I hopped in the shower and washed really well down there, got out, and ALL of the warts that were in the first part of my vagina are GONE! It looked all chunky and white because those were the warts sloughing off! I thought the warts inside would turn black and fall off too, but this area is so wet and moist they just turn really white and then turn almost cheesy like (i know, SO gross) and you can wipe them right off! I was astounded.
There are 1 or 2 more deeper inside my vagina, almost to the cervix. So I'm going to repeat the vitamin E until they go away. If they do not, I'm going to try a new treatment I've found.
If the vitamin E doesn't work or you don't want to put the ACV there, try tea tree oil suppositories. We've all heard about the tea tree oil remedy for the outside part, but I had no idea that they had tea tree oil suppositories too! I looked them up a little bit more, and found that many women actually use them to prevent or treat cervical dysplasia and genital warts on the inside. Just take a suppository, and stick it right on up as far as you can. I'm not sure how often to repeat this treatment, but it probably says so on the bottle. They're sold at most stores like Whole Foods, herbal drug stores, places like that.
I really hope I could help you guys out! If anybody has any issues, just shoot me an email because I know how hard it is to be in this situation.. especially when you're a complete health nut like me, are not promiscuous, and never thought anything like this would ever happen to you. Just realize that this is not life-threatening and it's not the end of the world! You're not alone, just look at this forum and you can see how common GW are! Thanks SO MUCH Earth Clinic, I really have no idea what I would have done without you!

Ok, so im back to post about my results with acv. It has been 10 days of using this method. I originally wore the acv cotton balls for about 5 hours the first day and then overnight the second. Well on the third day I could only wear for about 10 to 15 min tops. Each day using the acv burns more and more severely then the day before. So instead of wearing the acv cotton balls once a day for 5 hours (cannot bear the pain for that long) I would just brace myself and hold the cotton ball on the warts for 10 sec to 10 min about 2 or 3 times a day; depending how much pain I could take at the time; (I also continue to clean the warts with hydrogen peroxide before the acv treatment) Well sure enough the warts began to get white, then dry, then black, then they began to flake off. A lot of people claimed it took only 3 days for the acv to rid their warts, but for me it has taken longer. I think it depends on the severity of the warts and maybe the strain as well. I had quite a few and they were in flat clusters ( I guess I had several layers of warts that the acv had to work through). Also I stated that I had been previously using heal warts from
www.amoils.com and that I stopped using it; well because I was a little impatient with the acv, on the 5th or 6th day I began using them together. I would use the acv for like 5 min, then when the pain stopped (after about another 5 min) I would apply the heal warts formula. I tried to do this 3 times a day. It seemed that when I began to use them together the warts began to dry up and flake off faster (they began to itch severely as they flake off, so be careful not to scratch and spread). Well today when I checked the external warts they are all but gone. I have a few flaky black patches left that I will continue to treat. The internal warts are still there cause I have not really been treating them. Once the external ones are all gone I will try a diluted acv douche for the internal warts. Just to let everyone know the heal warts product really does work by itself, it just takes about 6 weeks to rid the warts; also it can be used internally to rid warts inside the vaginal canal for the ladies (apply topically DO NOT INGEST). I have used internally before but I am sensitive so it caused some vaginal pH imbalances (increased discharge and irritation) which is easy to fix with either acv douche or that rePHresh stuff they sell at local drug stores. So all in all I love acv. I am a fan for life. Even though the pain is horrid (I actually screamed and cried a couple of times), it is worth it to be rid of the warts in like 2 to 3 weeks. Also I bought some raw, organic, unpasturized acv and began taking a shot every morning as Liz from Cleveland did, it can't hurt and acv is very good for you anyway. I will be drinking a shot a day for life. I did dilute the shot in about 6 to 8 oz of juice or water. I will post again in another week or so when the warts are completely gone. Don't give up if the acv doesn't rid all the warts immediately (like in 3 days), just be consistent, bear the pain, and stay positive. Good luck all!

**Are u looking 4 a CURE?? ACV is def the answer. I read all the comments on acv & tried it 2 days ago. I wanted to be able to help someone w/ my experience & how it worked 4 me. I found out i had HPV a few weeks ago & i was disgusted. I had also just lost my medical Insurance. ha, i was terrified that it was gonna spread everywhere if i didn't get to a obgyn FAST! I was desperate 4 a cure. I decided 2 try acv. Its day 2 for me using it. I was scared at 1st because the warts are in places that seem hard to treat w/ out burning. Mine are located around my vaginal opening. On day 1 - I used cotton balls soaked in acv & i used a guaze tape instead of bandaids. it took alot of tape to get it right. I layed the cotton across the infected area & taped it up. It stung pretty good which i was glad of because I knew it must be working. I went to bed with it on all nite. I woke up & they had turned white & I knew then that it was working. They were all pretty small but a couple were kinda larger than the rest. On night 2 - I applied it again the same way. It stung even worse which was okay for me cuz i was expecting that. I woke up & took it off - I was kinda dissapointed that they hadn't turned black like others have reported but were still white. But then -oh yes- i noticed that some of the larger ones had literally fallen off. I was amazed.Afterwards, I sprayed aloe vera on myself to ease the burning sensation which works great. So 2day, my plans are to treat the remaining ones w/ a q-tip throughout the rest of the day. I'm determinded 2 get rid of these sick things. I will keep you all posted on my results. I'm hoping after tonight - I will be wart free. But to others who are desperate 4 a cure - girls- this is the way. I promise. I was skeptical at 1st but it seems 2 be working. I'm writing this so i can share my results with others who are not sure what to do about this. I know who scared you are and embarrassed. I won't even have sex w/ my husband due to that. Its disgusting & I wanna help someone like this site helped me. everyone's comments helped me make it through this. Thank you all for sharing experience w/ me. Now - I'm giving back as well. If anyone is scared - please try this. It works. Good luck to you all. Questions are welcomed. I want to be able to help anyone I can by simply sharing my treatment's with ACV. Good Luck - It truly works***

ACV!!! I'm back to give u my update w/ ACV. Guess what ~ It truly works!! After sleeping w/ acv on me for the 2nd nite in a row - the following evening I applied it once again the same way w/ tape & cotton balls. I left it on me for about 5 hours & then took it off. Well, i went out of town & didn't use it for 4 days. while being gone for the 2nd day - i finally looked & they were all gone except 2!! YES> so excited. I think skipping a few days actually helped even more. I don't know but all but 2 are gone. I treated them again for about 3 hrs today & I'm sure they will be gone by tomorrow. This stuff works. Good luck 2 All.

Well what can i say, acv really works!! 98% of them are gone. I have like 4 tiny pin tip ones left and they are really hard to get . wrapping my guy with the whole gauze bandage is a great method but unless i keep half a woodie, the bandage moves, so it's a bit frustrating. i mean who can keep wood with major construction going on down there. maybe i should pop a bottle of viagra and see if that works. anyways it's been 10 days and i am very pleased with the results. i got some tea tree oil and that is very soothing. i haven't been consistent with the wrap, because of the tenderness but using a q-tip soaked here and there for 20 min. at a time. i think the wrap is the way to go but you really have to give yourself some time to heal between treatments. i will post again in a week and give my final results. thanks to everyone and keep frying those little buggers!!!!

Hello. Just started the Apple Cider Vinegar technique and after 3 hours can see differences. I have a depressingly large number of warts, and after this time period I find I have even more. I am Pretty sure this is a good thing to see. Just before I tried this I had a go at just wrapping my gent in stickytape which is another new one I found. I think it might have got rid of one (it's like a blood blister which i'm sure you all know means one deed wart), but then again it could be just a spot from sweating under the tape!
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!

ACV is really a miracle! I had several small warts and one about the size of a dime. I was to embarrassed to see a doctor and was looking on line for a cure. This really worked! I applied the first ACV with a gauze pad and kept the application for 24 hours changing the pad several times. The next day I did the same. The third day I applied the ACV over night only. By day four all the small ones had fallen off and the top of the large one had turned gray and was pealing off! The larger one was the most difficult and by day five I was irritated but changed my application to simply dabbing ACV on 3 times a day only to the one area. (I used A&D ointment on the surrounding area to get rid of the irritation and allow for healing.) Day six everything was gone! I have no scars and thankfully no warts! THANK YOU for your help!

I am soo happy I found this site. I had these for almost a year now and had two acid treatments at the gyno that didn't really work. They got smaller but never went away. I tried the ACV yesterday. For two or so hours I had cotton balls soaked in ACV on the spots where I had the warts. Minimal burning and discomfort, just as much, if not less than what I had with the acid treatments. After sitting for a couple hours, the warts turned white and a couple of the really small ones just basically wiped right off. This morning, one of the bigger ones came off in the shower. Right now I'm sitting with Apple Cider Vinegar soaked cotton balls applied where the remaining warts are. There's a little more burning and discomfort today because the skin is sensitive from the treatment yesterday, but it's not bad at all. The rest of the warts are in a sort of cluster and are noticeably smaller than they were yesterday. I am so happy that this worked I absolutely had to leave word on here and add to the people saying it works.

After having weird bumps around my vagina that felt like ingrown hairs, I found a bunch of little genital warts inside my vagina almost all the way to my cervix.
I read about using apple cider vinegar on this site, so I thought I'd give it a try before going to my doctor who is always booked for weeks.
At first I tried diluting it and using it as a douche, but that didn't seem to work (about 2 tsp in about a cup of water). So then I tried putting straight ACV on cotton balls and putting them directly on top of the warts. I used the cheapy ACV from the grocery store and left the cotton balls in place overnight. This worked perfectly - they started to disappear within 12 hours and are now almost completely gone.
It definitly burns when you first put them in (especially if you get any on your labia etc.), but it goes away after about 30 seconds and is totally worth it. The whole area also gets a bit tender after its been exposed to a vinegary environment for two days, but I'm thinking that will settle down when I stop using it. I'll report back when they're all gone.
Also, I tried using ACV on the ingrown hair-ish bumps, but that doesn't seem to do anything. They seemed to start going away when I just left them alone.

I was so excited to come across a site that wasn't charging for info on it's home remedy for genital warts. It's bad enough as it is to deal with, let alone have someone trying to take all your money. After freezing did practically nothing, I've started using ACV as of yesterday. Already my wart is getting smaller. However, after having to tell my boyfriend about this, he's very angry at me and contemplating breaking up with me (after two years of being together) because of it. How do I convince him that it's not the end of the world and there's treatments out there than can get rid of warts?
