Wart Remover Medication

I'm telling y'all! If you don't want to go to the doctor and go through the painful treatments, or spend months doing natural home remedies, just go to drugstore and purchase generic regular wart remover-you know the ones that say "not for use on genital warts"!! I'm telling you I could've saved money and an embarrassing trip to the doctor had I just used the regular cream for like $7. It almost makes me laugh how simple it was. I'm 19 years old (quite young, so if anybody reading this is young, don't feel ashamed), I had warts in my perianal area and some on the inside of my buttcheeks (NOT anus). I was prescribed a painful ass prescription of $675 condylox and my life was HELL, particularly around my homecoming time. Most of my skin peeled down to the flesh (particularly because I used it incorrectly but also because the shit spreads). When it only got rid of two warts, I sought out another prescription to take care of the rest. After a while I said what the hell and purchased GENERIC Wart Remover and voila! My warts were removed!
-I applied the gel to my warts which stung like hell I have to admit.
-I let them dry to a white film like substance, it kinda looked like dry toothpaste. This is recommended before pulling up your undies, let them dry completely first.
-When I showered, I cleaned it and applied some more product after drying off. I noticed with each application the warts got smaller and smaller until eventually it was all gone. OR what you can do is just peel and pick at the white substance until you just end up ripping the wart off!! Keep in mind in ripping the wart off, you're ripping off the skin. It'll look simply like a very small scab, remember warts are the virus under the skin. If you're reluctant to try, sure I get it but just try it on one or two warts to test it's effectiveness if you'd like.
-Repeat as desired!! It's been a happy 3 months since my first and so far only warts outbreak.
Also try looking into Echinacea and Goldenseal supplements, it's a powerhouse for your immune system.
Trust me everyone, I hope this treatment finds you well, I too felt hopeless and depressed looking for natural remedies myself that's how I know about this website in the first place. As previously stated I'm 18 and I was SCARED so I wouldn't purposely try to steer anyone wrong. Mind you this is for "EX"ternal warts ONLY (meaning warts on the outside of the body)! And living with HPV is NOT bad, there's far worst conditions to live with, especially in the black gay community this is the least I can have.
Anyway practice safe sex all! :)Happy living without warts everyone!
Zinc

Multiple Remedies
Posted by Todd (Atlanta) on 11/14/2016
Genital Warts:
Newton's homopathetic wart compound works well. Also try boosting immune system by eating healthy.
Try apple cider vinegar, duct tape, raw foods, garlic, thunga, herbal baths, drink lots of water and avoid colas, drink organic carrot juice, stop smoking and drinking alcohol.
White Vinegar
Posted by Loko (London) on 07/12/2016
★★★☆☆
BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
I found out I had genital warts a few days ago I hate doctors and my receptionist are nosy as hell so I usually avoid going on embarassing issues.
So obviously I do research seen what mother had in her cupboard and borrow the white vinegar......
l tried a few different techniques as a women I can't exactly sleep with it on with tape so this is what I do....
1. Antiseptic soap the area (hurts)
2. Take some cotton buds and place it on each wart for 10 minutes each night (try doing it twice a day of possible or for additonal time)
This will hurt not lying here. Burns and stings!
3. Keep repeating
Most of mine has gone now or very small, after alot of try and fail or sucess
Don't do this
I'm a women so don't leave overnight between you vagina or other areas as this will burn the skin and it hurts!
Yes it did get rid of 4 warts.....but also caused the area to be raw and painful.
Leave for longer than 30 minutes another big ouch but not half as bad as the above.
Keep the area clean, unless you have major dermatology issues like me you don't want to go running to the doctors for antibiotics due to imfection without an excuse or reason. So keep the area seriously clean
it's working here, but be very careful vinigar. Great on fish and chips and wart remover not very good at working out good skin and bad skin :)
Good luck
White Vinegar
Posted by Phoenix (Nashville, Tn) on 07/14/2016
I'm currently applying White Vinegar (WV) to my genital warts. I've been having them for about a year now. It started off as a very small bump underneath my skin just below my anus. I've been trying the waiting game and also toothpaste to make them go away. The toothpaste actually worked, I woke up one morning and they went from a pinkish color back to the flesh color and the swelling went down but I needed them gone. After months of research, I found this website about ACV but all I had was WV. I've read the stories and was convinced that it would work. It's burning but not too much. I'll post an update in a few weeks. Hopefully this works. I have faith.

It went well however after some small research im on alot of vitamins and shittake mushroom extracts (contains ahcc).
On top of white vinigar (really hurts) and burnt so badly I have had to lay off it for a few days to a week.
Major improvement only got 2/3 left literally took one out earlier and by god felt better :)
So yay :)
Elderberry Juice
Posted by Anon (Anon) on 05/29/2016
★☆☆☆☆
I bought a wine bottle size bottle of elderberry juice from Biotta at the grocer a few weeks ago. I had high hopes. I've had what I suspect is HPV for roughly six years. The female doc called it "a little irritation". With a look that said, "Don't let them talk you into a hysterectomy". I've never had elderberry before. It tasted like a combination of blackberries and tomatoes. Eww. Well, within two or three days of drinking half of it I found a lump on the inside of my lip and a black patch about a quarter inch circle on the opposite side inside my cheek. The black patch was gone the next day, I've been putting iodine on the bump but it hasn't seemed to change. I also developed an small itchy pimple on my arm and another on my hand. After I scratched the one on my arm and the next day it turned into a small wart. The other one I was careful not to scratch and put iodine on, and it looks like after a week or so it's shrinking. The center turned red, like a tiny vein. The one in my mouth had the same red vein until I put the iodine on it.
Obviously I can't say for sure it was the elderberry that caused it all, but it's looking that way. I dumped the other half of the bottle out. Just an FYI.
Oregano Oil

Hi I was diagnosed last yr in may with hpv2. I've read many different testimonies, about ways to suppress it, and even cure it. I'm determined to get rid of this disease like a lot of other ppl are too. My experience since I've been taking oregano oil. I read from a girl that she took it two times a day under the tongue not a lot or too long be aware it does burn a lot and two inches above the buttox because that's where the virus lives. I was doing it for a good second. I'm on my second bottle now my first bottle I still was having breakouts a little. I'm on my 2nd I admit I'm not taking it like I'm supposed to but so far its working. I may not take some for a while and I don't have any breakouts but I'm back on my daily routine an I'll be sure to post again my experiences. Good luck with all of you trying your best.

Wart Remover Medication

I literally tried everything. I started with tea tree oil and vitamin c to going to the doctor to have them removed to buying warto online. The only thing that slightly made a difference was going to the doctor.. but they didn't go away and came back times five. The thing that FINALLY got rid of them was over the counter liquid wart remover that I got from Kroger. It hurts like hell and you have to keep putting it on until it scabs and its not a pretty sight but I promise you that it gets rid of them. When the skin grew back it was patchy and miss colored but after a few weeks its all back to normal!
Prescription Medications
Posted by Dub (Massachusetts ) on 12/20/2015
So I got diagnosed with genital warts about 3 weeks ago. They were so small and painless. Then I started using imiquimod, and they started getting bigger and they hurt SOOOOO bad. Like I can't even go to the bathroom because they burn that bad. It's also hard to walk!! I've applied Apple cidar vinigar with a cotton ball and vaseline. Then I'd wash it off at the end of the night. It just hurts so bad and I don't know what to do!! I'm so sick of the pain. Does anybody have any recommendion that I can do for the pain??

Tea tree oil on GW works to an extent. I found a few on my vagina thinking they were skin tags and a yeast infection because I was really really itchy. I've been using tea tree oil mixed with aloe gel for a while and it's improved. But it has been about two months and I still have them.
Garlic, Apple Cider Vinegar, Tea Tree Oil
Posted by Bryanryan (Arizona) on 08/08/2015

Okay so I went a little "cure" crazy and tried everything in two days. My results are amazing. The doctor said go to a dermatologist as I was just diagnosed last week. He also said many may not want to treat me....I read that most medical cures didn't work anyway....and I'm not a fan of doctors in the first place. Sooooo I hit the net.....
1st thing I tried was mincing garlic and compressing the affected area which is the foreskin on the bottom side of my penis, directly beneath my urethra.......sensitive location.
Garlic hurts like nothing you can imagine....and then washing with water hurts as well.....not sure the garlic did anything but make me suffer but I won't rule it out as a starting point. I followed that up with fresh aloe I cut from my plant at home. I slept with aloe on the affected area. I added quite a bit and frequently.
The 2nd day (yesterday) I applied garlic first....ouch...then aloe to soothe. I then applied Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. It did not burn right away which means it is penetrating the warts....however the second application that night did start burning. I cleaned up applied several drops.of tea tree oil and aloe and went to bed. This morning I noticed the area around the warts had turned a purplish black....I thought I killed my penis.....all the while I'm drinking 3-4 tablespoons of of the AC vinegar diluted with water for the 2 days....
Tonight I exfoliated with a homemade oatmeal scrub soap bar and 80%of the affected area rubbed away entirely. It isn't 100% gone yet but it looks 1,000 times better and by tomorrow will likely be gone completely. It is now a bit raw from the exfoliation, I applied more aloe and I will see what tomorrow brings. You can likely skip the garlic.....don't get ACV in your urethra, feels like death....tea tree, ACV, and Aloe work and hurt much less than garlic....

Bloodroot
Posted by Alex (Australia) on 05/01/2015
★★★★☆
I believe I have HPV with a rash over the top. I have been to numerous medical people - as well as hospital who were unable to diagnose it. Anything from fungal, psoriasis, genital herpes has been the diagnoses given. What I had was a large extremely itchy and painful rash that extended from the lower front pelvic area, down through vaginal area through to anus.
After trying doctors medicines, over counter prescription, worming, cleansing, immune boosters, even rife frequencies for the diagnoses given I tried Bloodroot salve.
My sores reacted harshly and very painfully to this salve. I contacted the company who suggested I treat this seriously and use their Amazon deep tissue black salve - this is used for cancer. The sores became very painful, darkened scabs which covered areas up to 1 inch around. I have only treated a small area because it is incredibly painful and I can only tolerate so much at a time. Black salve is renowned for killing and removing cancer, warts, skin tags/things with roots. After the scabs came off a hole was left which at times was 2cm*2cm. A growth of 9mm round was removed from the clitoris leaving another deep hole. This growth was hiding more growths further below. I am currently treating them. The holes left were conducive of wart holes. The growths removed looked like warts. Now that the black salve has been there I can feel growths under the skin which was previously only a rash.
My female doctor was reluctant to give me a pap smear until this scab had gone. She treated it as an infection and still did not see there were growths. Still, the antibiotics she prescribed - and creams which I took so that I could get my pap smear sooner helped to weaken the scabs and pull them out quicker. I would not recommend this as they are supposed to stay on until they drop out. The cream broke the scab and the scab suppurated lots of clear liquid for days.
Before the rash I had no idea there were any sores, warts or anything underneath. I had been attempting to treat this and suffered with symptoms for probably 4 years.
If people are absolutely desperate to remove these warts, they are unsure of what something is and want to test an area for warts/cancer, and they are not responding to anything else, Black Salve is an option. Only try small areas at a time and consider pain relief. The pain is excruciating but for me it will be well worth it. It is the closest I have come to getting rid of the cause of the itch and finding out what was down there.
Black salve does not affect normal healthy skin. I tested it on healthy skin too. Black salve in my case did not create holes where there was merely a rash. It only left a hole where there was a growth with "roots". I will continue the burnoff.
In the meantime I will treat myself as though there may be something more serious. It is my understanding that HPV does not always display in results where there are problems.
A proper diagnosis and treatment is always best if you can get it.
Shitake Mushroom Extract, Turmeric
Posted by Wren (California, US) on 11/27/2014
Hey, so trying ACV, looks like its working, but so painful. I'm also taking ACV by mouth, lysine, vitamin c, zinc, olive leaf extract. Only on day 2ish and some are already white/black. I have done more research and found these two studies
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/141028122424.htm
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24289574
One talks about AHCC (Shitake Mushroom extract) as being effective in clearing HPV virus (as in curing the virus, which was previously thought impossible) when taken for six months orally.
The second one talks about turmeric in the clearance of HPV, has anyone tried either of these remedies with any success?
These are both scientific studies so I'm more likely to believe the results that just anecdotal evidence but was just curious if anyone on here had any success.
Apparently the turmeric, you make a paste with olive oil then apply and the ACHH is taken orally.
ACV is literally SO PAINFUL so if theres any other way, I would be super keen to hear.
This is the first outbreak I have ever had in this area, I had one early when I was pregnant but it cleared in three days with topical applications of tea tree oil
Thanks

I don't know about HPV specifically, but since it is a virus, you could treat it like any virus. Look up olive leaf and oregano. I buy a bottle of olive leaf [buy a good quality product so it had enough of the applicable ingredients] and take a few capsules when I get run down...take 2-3 twice a day and its usually gone in 1-2 days.
Also, try applying Coconut Oil [CO] in the area. CO is antiviral, antibacterial, etc. I have used it to treat many small bumps, rashes, etc.
Last, try OIL PULLING...look up how to use it. You can find info here on EC or just do an internet search.
Best of luck!
Just some thoughts.

I have recently discovered I have 3 small warts and I am going to start using the method everyone is suggesting, but I have one question. I am allergic to aspirin. Will this apply if I am just applying it and not swallowing? I really want to get rid of these things since they are making me feel horrible about myself. Is there any other pill I can use?
Thank you so much! Reply appreciated.

Hi Melanie. I don't know about the aspirin. But if you can stand the smell of Tea Tree Oil. I was able to get rid of a huge wart on the bottom of my foot in the crease where the big toe bends down. I applied TTO to a cotton ball every night when I went to sleep. Put the cotton ball on the wart and covered with athletic tap, then put a sock on. Next morning I would just remove, shower and go to work, again at night repeat....
This was a really big wart and had a black center. It went away within a couple weeks if I remember correctly. It got smaller and smaller and I don't even know when it actually come off. I just noticed when I went to apply TTO it was gone. No scar or soreness.
The smell of the Tea Tree Oil was awful though. It would bother me until I went to sleep.

Tea tree will not hurt.. Acv is still possible though.. I don't know what it is called in english, I think it is q-tips. Use q-tips to put Apple Cider Vinegar directly on the wart and let it sink in, and repeat until the wart is "filled" with acv
I'm fighting this war as well.. Haven't had sex in over 2 years due to this and it really messed up my self esteem. This friday I got a sxdate so will be Apple Cider Vinegar 24/7 uptill then haha.. It better be gone by then or have to camcel (YES I DO! And if you all have a little moral and common sense you wouldn't go either!! )
with Apple Cider Vinegar I got the biggest of the biggest warts removed in less then a week.. Can't wait for this round to be gone gone gone.

Posted by Kate (Canada) on 10/14/2015
Tea tree oil is really effective. It works wonders! It was gone after 2days. Just like that. What I did was, I put a tea tree oil on the cotton ball and put it on top of the affected area (skin tags/warts) and let it stay there. Yes, a minty feeling but its fine. Just font let it stay for very long time because I forgot mine and it was crazy.its like if I left it much longer it develops a burnt like looking skin (which was manageabl/tolerable).a day after it was gone. But since its healing, you need to always keep the area dry at all times and can be a little bit itchy while its healing. I hope this helps. Oh yeah, ive also got that idea from a website which I totally forgot which site. :( accudentally cleared the history on my browser.

Tea tree oil for genital warts: After having my third child I had really bad hemorrhoids. Then I developed a couple of "bumps" on my inner thigh that burned really bad. After much research I realized that I didn't have hemorrhoids at all! It was actually genital warts! How lovely...I know. So the first method I tried to get rid of these warts was apple cider vinegar. I applied it to the ones in my inner thigh, too scared to touch my anus with it. I applied for four days twice a day two hours at a time. Burned like crazy so I stopped. Within a week I realized they had completely come off (must've happened when I was washing my self because I didn't realize.) So I was still stuck with a cluster of warts on my anus. Researched again, bought some Dr.Scholls freeze away. Did nnothing. Then coconut oil. Did nothing. Now I've been using hydrogen peroxide when I go to the restroom. And at night use tea tree oil. I kid you not, they are almost completely gone! It's pretty awesome!!! I'm super excited. I've also started iodine supplementing with lugol's 5% iodine to help keep them at bay. I heard that works as well.

Diagnosing Genital Warts
Posted by Thankfulwife (Charlotte, Nc) on 01/30/2014
Could this be HPV Genital Warts? I have been married & faithful for 12 years & so has my husband. About 6 years ago I noticed one small brown flat growth in my pubic hair region. It stayed the same with no more growth or spreading for 2 years. Then about 4 years ago it seemed that there were more and more of these tiny, rough, brown, flat wart-looking spots spreading across my pubic hair area. They aren't anywhere else, only where the hair grows. My husband doesn't have any of these on his body. Could this be warts caused by a strain of HPV & is it contagious? If so, why hasn't he been contaminated? It's been 12 years since I was with anyone other than my husband who seems to be unaffected. Also, I've had 4 babies and many blood tests & pap smears with nothing turning up. So, will applying Apple Cider Vinegar repeatedly via taped on cotton pads eventually cause the warts to die and go away? And if the warts go away is the virus gone & no longer contagious? Thank you.
