Okay, so I had to do this for a lot of reasons - - mostly because I know how much sites like this one help to ease my mind when I'm having a problem. . .

I was diagnosed with HPV last summer. No idea where it came from. Been with the same guy since I was 17 -- I'm 21 now -- was a virgin when we started dating. Waited two years after that before we ever had sex. He has nothing symptom-wise & guys can't get tested for it, so we literally have no idea where it came from. Luckily he's completely supportive & we make it work (**side note - GUYS! wear a condom and keep your boxer-briefs on, and pop your buddy through the opening in the front - - offers a lot of protection).

Anyway, for a while I was feeling rough patches of skin down near (never in!) my vagina. I shave the area so I always assumed they were just ingrown hairs and the like. It wasn't until I grew a bump on my inner thigh (pretty freakin far down my leg too) that I got weirded out. It was pretty sizable and it was just flesh colored. Literally just a bump. I was wearing a bathing suit one day and my mom said, "what's on your leg?" and I said, "I'm really not sure, I think it's a skin tag." Mom replied "It kind of looks like a wart." Jokingly she brought up genital warts. . but it got me thinking. So I started googling. I put the pieces together. I got a mirror and looked at the spots around my bum where I'd felt the rough patches in the past & realized they were smaller versions of what was on my leg. Even though the pictures you get when you do a google image search look much more serious than what I was experiencing, I had a feeling I knew what it was.

I made a dermatologist appointment & in the meantime used Compound W on the big one, just to see if it would work. Worst thing ever - - it did absolutely nothing, and it gets all over your hands and doesn't come off. So the dermatologist - EMBARRASSING by the way, he was young and cute - confirmed what I already knew, & froze 'em off. Worked perfectly - they all fell off within a few days. Problem was, they missed one. I thought I could handle the straggler on my own and kept up with the Compound W. . . but the longer I went on worrying about it, the more they spread. Soon I was back to where I started.

Went to my yearly for the gynecologist and had him look at them. He put some acid stuff on them, and it did nothing. FRUSTRATING. I wanted him to freeze them off but he insisted I try the acid first, and it didn't work.

I was at my wits' end & completely reluctant to go back to the young, attractive dermatologist to be embarrassed again, as well as unwilling to pay a $30 copay at the gyney when all he was gonna do was put the acid on once & expect it to work. So did a google search: "genital warts home remedies" - and came across this Apple Cider Vinegar miracle cure routine.

Oh. My. God. Can't believe it works - but it does. I've followed the same directions and most of the people on this site, except I've added a little twist - Bleach. Weird I know - but it speeds it up. Here's how I've been doin' it.

Get all your supplies - - cotton ear swabs, cotton balls, bleach, apple cider vinegar (ACV), medical/athletic tape, scissors, a bright light and a mirror

So check out the area - - make sure you know where your bumps are (I call them bumps cause it sounds less gruesome). When you map it all out, dip an ear swab in a bit of bleach - NOT A LOT! - and hold that swab on each bump for about 10 seconds or so. There will be some pain - DON'T BE ALARMED! - it really speeds up the process.

After you've dabbed each spot, make sure to wipe off any excess bleach because you don't want to expose the surrounding areas any more than you need to (you'll just wind up with more irritation that way). Try dabbing the area with a dry cotton ball.

Once the excess bleach has been wiped away you can start with the ACV. Take a cotton ball & soak it in ACV. If you want, you can make it so it will fit your infected area & cover more than just one at a time. By that I mean pull it, fold it, stretch it, whatever you need to do to make it cover a few of your bumps as opposed to just one (I'd squeeze out the excess ACV because it can start to seep through the tape, and the smell of vinegar on your sheets is not nice). I'll usually put a dry cotton ball behind the ACV-soaked one so that the tape sticks better, and I secure it as well as possible (avoid any rogue pubic hairs - it hurts).

I've left mine on over night for the past 5 or 6 days, and already 4 of the 8 or 9 I've got have reached the point of being completely black and scabbed over.

Seriously - I'm amazed. AMAZED.

Though the areas around the bumps have become pretty irritated & a little scabby, the pain is by no means unbearable - and it works, so suck it up. Don't let your mentality mess you up. And don't get impatient - some take longer than others.

You'll probably formulate your own mode of operation for this remedy, but I'm just giving you all something to work with.

I am however taking Vitamin C tablets, as well as ACV tablets and elderberry extract. I'm trying to eat healthily and get plenty of sleep. I try to work out, too - but even if you don't have direct access to a gym - walk or run a few miles a day outside. I know that the key to beating this thing is a healthy immune system, so I'm working on it. But this little home remedy doesn't hurt to get you inspired.

Good luck everybody -- & don't give up! :)"

I had a genital wart in a very precarious spot. I used small circular band-aids, some cotton from a cotton swab and plain ole store bought apple cider vinegar. After soaking the cotton in acv I placed it in the center of the wart and covered it with the band-aid. I did this during the day, because I could stay busy and forget about the discomfort, while at night it was way to painful. After a week of this routine the wart scabbed and eventually fell off. I am continuing this an extra week just to ensure that it is gone. If you are suffering from a wart, then I would suggest to at least give this a try. Endure the pain because its worth it in the end :) THANKS!"

I've been to the doctor more than 7 times to get them frozen off because soon after they'll re-appear. I'm so scared to go back and not be able to ever have them off me, i feel like the grosest person alive. It has caused a lot of stress in my life.

its been a week since my last cyrotherapy and have no longer blisters and open skin, is it safe to try the [ ACV, CASTOR OIL AND VITAMIN E ] or the [ ACV, ASPIRIN AND VITAMIN E GEL CAPS ]?

i have scarring from the freezing sessions and i'd like to get rid of this ugly problem please help me i don't know what to do"

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  08/09/2009: Sassy from B-town, Usa writes: "*UPDATE* so ive had a recurrence. the area previously treated has not broken out again but it seems as though the virus is running its course in different areas. and. for a while there every wart i got rid of a few more would pop up! it was very frustrating, this has been a horrible month long endeavor since the first breakout. also i noticed that places i was first treated by the doctor with acid turned into little moles, not warts, i tested them, but moles!!! that acid crap is the devil! anyways, the warts have migrated to the clitoral area, luckily none have located themselves directly on the clit itself but on the hood and the area around it. this area has proved to be quite difficult to treat. since it is very moist and rubs while walking/sitting/doing pretty much anything the warts are quick to spread. so. for this area, this is what i did:

1. take cotton balls soaked with acv and squeeze out the excess before packing them in the affected area. NOTE* if you have been treating this area for several days and it becomes sensitive, dilute the avc with water.

2. after leaving on for 1-3 hours one to two times a day remove the cotton balls. rinse with warm water. GENTLY massage liquid antibacterial soap on the area. be careful not to pick or scratch the area, let any dead skin/scabs/dead warts fall off on their own when they are ready. picking and scratching will only spread them around. rinse. Rinse. RINSE. with water of course.

3. pat dry with some tp or a towel that you will not use again until after it is washed. apply vitamin e oil to the treated areas. again, be careful to not pick or scratch.

4. place dry cotton balls on the area treated. this helps control the moisture and prevents any open sores from touching healthy skin. do this until the warts are no longer present and the skin has returned to its normal healthy state.

5. WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER EVERY TIME YOU TOUCH DOWN THERE!!!!!!! AND DONT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL YOU HAVE. please, be clean :) you dont want to accidentally give this to anyone else do you?


after much trial and error this is what i have found works best and may work for you. tea tree oil can be used in place of the vitamin e oil but test in a small area first. i am possibly allergic to it and it makes me itch like crazy, which made me scratch, which spread the problem. also, tea tree oil has a very strong minty odor that is VERY noticeable. vitamin e oil does not. i also take a few supplements such as prenatal vitamins, garlic pills, vitamin e gel caps, and apple cider vinegar tablets. every freakin day. consistency is everything. this treatment is working well so far but you must have patience. ive been dealing with this for almost two months now and im really impressed with the fact that i can regulate this problem with something so simple. no matter what method you choose to treat the warts, there will always be a chance of recurrence and no treatment has been proven to be more effective than another since everyone is a little different. what works for you might not work for someone else. the best that you can do is to be healthy, consistent, and to stay positive. you will beat this."

A few months ago my girlfriend called me and told me she had gone in for her Pap smear and found out that the spot where she thought she had nicked herself shaving turned out to be Genital Herpes. She found out that she had HPV and got treated at the Doctors by a series of acid treatments, followed by a series of topical solutions that worked well for her. She is wart free now as far as we both know. The Doctor's bill was outrageous however she comes from a well off family and daddy paid it. A few months later I see a wart on my penis. I on the other hand am not so fortunate to come from a rich family. I didn't want to go to the Hospital on base because I am not sure how the military looks on this sort of thing? Has anyone on here been treated at a military hospital??? So first off I read around online. I read of alot of ppl having success with Compound W. I used the stuff to burn it off with salicylic acid. This worked great! I didn't see it again. I had sex with my girl again and a few days later the little buggers showed up again! This time three. No prob, I burnt them off too! Wallah! Gone! So some time passes and this time I get a all out flare up! Now I have them all over some on my penis some on my groin around it. I burnt the ones off on the less sensitive areas and they haven't come back but there are too many to deal with on my penis. I ordered the Wartrol CRAP off line and tried the bitter tasting stuff three times a day under my tongue. COMPLETE waste of money! Don't fall for that scam. Next I paid some dude 17 bucks to access his "GENITAL WART REPORT". Which was nothing more than slabbing alot of Castor Oil on your genitals. I was beginning to lose hope until I stumbled across this forum but it seems that alot have had success, and i hope to contribute. Today is my first day trying ACV. I mixed it with the Castor Oil I have already been trying. I have completely quit smoking and drinking and have been working out alot and eating healthy, taking numerous vitamins. I didn't realize how many warts i had until i poured ACV on. ALOT. They all turn white. They are all very tiny not large and cauliflower like. I hope this works. I soaked gauze in Castor Oil and ACV and wrapped it around my shaft. I then took self adhering medical tape and wrapped it around. I am going to leave this on over night and then reapply tomorrow. I will keep you all posted. Please Reply to this post if you are A. in the military and have been treated or B. have alot of tiny warts and have had success."

Currently I am 5 1/2 months pregnant, so my sight to the area isn't the greatest. I have tried soaking gauze in ACV and applying it but I am not having the burning pain that people describe so I am wondering if it's working. But I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to keep the gauze on the area. Mine are not clusters per say they resemble white heads but they aren't!!! The warts are are all over above the clitoral area. More around the pubic bone. Also I have 3 on my inner thigh. And like I said they are spread out so I would like to have a solution to cover a large area for treatment. Any Ideas?? I am desperate and would like to have this cleared up before I deliver."

DO this technique today, i would never have spent an hour typing this out if it was a lie.
This saved my mental health do it, do it now!

I was very mad and disappointed at myself at first, but then realized i couldn't do anything about stressing GW but to treat it. At first i was in denial, is it a wart? Hmm, well, thanks to ACV it sure was. A few of them. Nothing noticeable until u look hard enough. So it was time to educate, and treat my self, and off to the internet i went. Read a few things about ACV, garlic, onions, Hydrogen peroxide, and other herbal remedies. Also heard the horror stories of ALADRA. Decided on taking the ACV approach and this is what i did.

1. ACV
2. Cotton facial pads, and q tips.
3. Vitamin E oil.
4. Hydrogen peroxide.

First things first, ACV help identify where they are hiding. Soak cotton and remove excess ACV, leave for 10 min to see.
Second, once identified soak the cotton and squeeze of excess and apply to affected area. Tape around the whole penis, not to tight, and make sure the tape overlaps itself to tape on correctly. Leave on for 1hr twice a day for 2 days and remove. Give skin a break, trust me..
Third, shower, clean with Hydrogen Peroxide and dry. Apply Vitamin E.
Fourth. Soak q tip and dab directly on affected area for a few minutes. This helps burn the GW and not the surrounding skin which should already be tender from previous application.
Fifth, apply Vitamin E often.
Please note, you should dab at anytime to continue the burning of the warts.

I hope this helps, it did for me. Thank you all for your shared comments, and next time you look at someone out in public, smile on the inside and say, theres a good chance they have GW. Its that common!"

I am about 75% cleared an have been so anxious to write about this since this is the site that convinced me to give it a go. I was in a medically induced coma for a month an a half an this is why I agree the immune system plays a big role since mine was at its worse. So when I finally came back I noticed this rash of warts. Still even was to embarrassed to alert doctors it was a mess of these warts. I have not had sex in over a year do to my illness. Well anyway I was so traumatized by the site of these things I actually used a razor to cut of 2 of them after realizing this was not going to work do to pain an bleeding I found this site an right away I got the apple cider. I have used it for almost a week and the majority are gone and the ones left are for sure going they are black and flaking away.First I would use a Q tip an dip it in the ACV and go over all infected areas and then I would tear off the cotton from the q tip and dip it in the ACV place this over all of the warts and bandage it down with medical tape, I would keep this on for 12 hour intervals, no pain for me at all. My worse issue was placing the bandage on it because the clusters were in just bad spots. But thank you ACV if I did not no any better it seems this is intended originally for wart suffers its the best."

[YEA]  07/20/2009: cj66442 from Fort Riley, KS writes: "Well I was diagnosed with GW June 26,09 I was prescribed Aldara. I used it with a open mind but once I started applying the aldara to my open sores I started having horrible side effects. I did 4 total Aldara treaments and then said I could not handle how weak I was feeling. So I decided to read about how dangerous Aldara was and just stopped using it. So I started looking for natural ways to cure my GW. I think I had one maybe 2 warts total. I used the store brand ACV that I had in my house several times. Its burned but I didn't notice a difference in the wart. So I started reading that I had to use the organic ACV, I came home and used it that same day and the wart was definitly getting its butt kicked lol. I have done 4 total ACV treatments and the wart is gone, I can see where it was a little but I was just shocked that its gone.

Also for those people experiencing a lot of irritation, or soreness down there give your area a break. I just started with the ACV again after a 4 day break. Im continuing with the ACV for another week or 2 just incase, I don't want to stop and then it starts growing again. But I do not do my treatment everyday. I would say in a weeks time I do about 3-4 treatments with ACV. The area gets a little tender so I take a small break. Also make sure you only apply the ACV to the wart and not the healthy skin. I rip the cotton off of a q tip and dip it in the organic ACV and then place it on the wart and keep it in place with a bandaide (sp?)

Good Luck everyone"

07/14/2009: XYZ from Toronto, Canada writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar and Genital Warts - I think it is making it worse

I went to the doctors to have a few wars frozen off, they kept coming back, the doctor said that he thought my body had passed the virus and I would be fine. I noticed 3 months later that I had two little ones. Then I decided to check around and noticed that I may have a few more. I found this site and decided to try the acv. I put it on a cotton pad and left it sitting over my vagina and anus. It did sting a bit. I left it on for three hours. It started to burn so I took it off. I noticed that I had more than I originally thought. The next day I tried to put acv on again but I was so sore and swollen that I couldn't keep it on for more then an hour. I still had not noticed an improvement. The third day I left it on for 2-20 minute intervals but I was so sore that it was seriously painful. I took the fourth day off and then only kept it on the fifth day for 30 minutes.

I was then going on vacation so after the fifth day I couldn't do it for 7 days. I came home, did a 45 minuted avc soak and took a look with a mirror and noticed that I had way more then before, they were inside my vagina and anus and some that I originally had seemed to be bigger then before. I put avc on it for two hours. Then I put it for one hour the next day, then 45 minutes the day after that but they only seem to spread and leave the area agitated, swollen and raw. I then got my period and had to take three days off putting it inside my vagina but kept apply it to the rest. Today is my first day putting it back in my vagina and anus. I've been trying this in total for 16 days, it only appears to be spreading or enlarging. Should I continue? Should I give it a month. If anyone has had similar problems, can you please offer some adivce? I will continue to check in."

I am using a Q-tip and applying very locally, directly to the larger one several times a day.

I highly recommend this treatment. I think that every 2-3 months I may go ahead and do a 4 hour soak of everything for ongoing maintenance. This seems to knock out the little ones early before they can get large."

Of course, i spazzed and went to the doctor the next morning to have the thing fried off with acid. it went away. but then. two weeks later when i went back for a recheck, surprise!! it started coming back and brought friends. so again they were fried off with acid. only this time, THEY CAME BACK 10000X WORSE. the two areas that were treated turned into HUGE flat warts. it was unbelievable!!! it was like the treatment did the exact opposite of what it was supposed to. so. after desperately searching on the internet for anything that could help i came across this and many other sites that went on and on about apple cider vinegar. so. i dug through the kitchen and found some. at first i used a whole wash cloth and saturated the center of it with ACV and stuffed it in my sn---- and layed in bed with it there for a couple hours. the two massive warts turned white as well as a few smaller ones i hadnt noticed. the next morning i did the same, sat and soaked for an hour or two. by that night i had noticed that one of the warts became smaller, the little ones were gone. the larger one was a little more stubborn. i sat and soaked again until it was so painful i couldnt stand it anymore. afterwards i noticed the larger wart began to peel away at the top most layer. also, i began using tea tree oil since the ACV had made my skin so raw. definitely very soothing and smells better. im on day 5 of the ACV and tea tree treatment and its looking MUCH better!!! the tiny ones are completely gone along with one of the big ones and the largest one turned into a crater looking thing that is slowly but surely healing away. there is one more tiny wart that i still am treating but this time only with a cotton ball soaked with ACV taped to the spot. this stuff is amazing!!!!!! especially after my experience with the 'reverse treatment' i had received a week ago. i recommend this to everyone with warty problems, its so much cheaper and more effective!!!"

[YEA]  07/01/2009: Anon from New York, NY writes: "I am really bad at keeping secrets, but have obviously kept my lips sealed about my situation. I'm so relieved and thrilled, I had to write!

I was diagnosed with high-risk (cervical cancer-causing) HPV in college, way back in 2005. The virus was dormant in six months, and I buried the experience in the haze of junior year.

Flash forward to my last check-up: having finished up my HPV vaccine and barely having any sex, I was shocked to hear the high-risk HPV was back. I knew it wasn't a big deal if the doctor kept an eye on it, and having dealt with this already, I didn't think it was a big deal.

And it wasn't a big deal. But then there was a little bump in the crease between my thigh near my butt, which I assumed was an ingrown hair from shaving. But then it didn't go away. But I have sensitive skin, so of course it was just a bump... but then the bump grew a neighbor bump. And that bump looked angry and gross. And that bump begat one more bump.

That's when I put two and two together and freaked out.

I'm normally fine with doctors and have had plenty of embarrassing medical issues. But for some reason, I was haunted by these warts. I lost my appetite and hated myself and wanted to curl up into a hole and die, or else wait 6 months to a year for them to supposedly go away on their own. But what if they didn't? What if they got worse? And how could I go a year without sex?

First I tried straight up tea tree oil soaked in gauze and stuck on with band aids. It felt refreshing, but I didn't see a difference after two days. I had white vinegar in the house, so I tried that and went to sleep for 8 hours. The next morning, the warts maybe looked a little better. They were definitely white, which I knew would happen. But would they go away?

I decided white vinegar wasn't strong enough and bought of apple cider vinegar (5%). The first night I soaked the gauze with the vinegar, taped it on with bandaids and went to bed. I didn't notice too much in the morning, but they felt a little less raised.

Last night I soaked yet another gauze with the ACV, taped it on, and went to bed. It stung this time, but not too badly. (For those of you freaking out about the pain: of course it burns worse each time. You're putting acid on open skin.) This morning in the bath tub, I rubbed some of the dead skin off. The skin felt a bit sore, but absolutely manageable. I blotted on some tea tree oil before I went to work.

When I got home from work today, I had the time to check out the location in a hand mirror. Wow. The bumps are so much smaller and flatter. After only two days, the skin is a little worn out, but the warts are definitely shrinking and getting killed by the ACV.

This site is amazing. I hope more people who are too embarrassed to go to the doctor can take care of this situation for under $10. I can't wait to report back in a few days. I hate new age herbal folk remedies, but this one is really working! I can't believe it..."

I guess the wart was good for something. Anyways, I initially had it treated by putting a medicated cream on it, aldara, or something like that. Kind of worked, but the wart came back. A few years later, after it seemed that the wart came back and got bigger I went to the doctors office and he froze it off, which seemed to work a little bit, with a significant amount of burning pain at the wart site. Despite the burning pain, when the wart came back again I for one of these over the counter wart freezing cute tip things, and theough it worked, it seemed to just reconstitute the wart in a different way. Basically , it came back. So after trying all of these remedies for many years I finally heard about ACV and decided to give it a try. I'm on day three of soaking the cotton from a couple of cue tips in ACV, placing it on the GW, and then fastening the acv soaked cotton to the site with a bandage. I've done this for 3 days. Initially the skin at the wart site turned white. It was clear to see that the surface of the wart had changed. There were also some very small holes showing up in the wart, as though some roots or miniscule vessels had been eradicated. During the day, when I leave the site to air out, the wart site does grow drier. In a few days I can foresee the entire wart being eradicated. I'll post again in a few days. I have never seen a GW remedy work better, and faster, with less pain, than apple cider vinegar. I think that I have a few days to go, but the improvement is very noticeable. I wish that I had heard of this remedy a long time ago. But maybe it was better that I didn't since I learned to control my libido due to be embarrassed abut the GW on my Jones."

I did some research and came across this site about ACV can remove warts. I went to the grocery store on the same day and topically applied on the warts with a cotton ball and taped in place. I woke up next morning and found black dots on the warts. It was the warts dying. Boy I was happy. I apply ACV ever night before I went to sleep for about 1 week and then I'll let the skin to heal for few days and then repeat the same process until is gone. I have not seen any warts coming back. I wish I known this site earlier without spending money on those useless therapies. I am also taking red marine algae and garlic every day to prevent it from coming back. God bless this site."

I was inspecting the area with a mirror when suddenly I see a whitish light-skinned wrinkly yucky thing growing right outside the vaginal opening. Looked a little smaller than a raisin. Ahhhh!!! (I screamed) and could not sleep the whole night. I felt a little relieved when I read that your body rids of the virus in 3-6 months but I still was devastated. I paid extra in a clinic and the gyno there freeze-dried the suckers and said they would fall away in two days and not come back. He also prescribed a cream I should wear for six weeks. A week later that damn thing was still there. Very tiny but it was growing again. That's when I discovered this awesome site. I rolled a cotton ball with ACV placed in in my v area and went to bed in pain. I didn't care. I slept for 10 hours (made up for lost sleep) and when I woke up the tiny head was black.I went about my business and before going to bed I was gonna repeat the process but during my usual inspection the ugly thing was gone!!! Even better my vagina looked pinkier, healthier, and felt great! It did not take 6 weeks, or even two days...it only took 10 hours! Bless you earthclinic!!!"

Like a lot of people I had actually plucked up the courage and visited a doctor, who prescribed a cream that would remove them, however it did shrink them temporarily, they came back ... so 5 weeks of treatment- pointless!!!

then desperate i read into other treatments.. such as the ACV...and asprin technique.. i have to say the crushed asprin didnt work for me,.. the paste simply dried and fell off, and was by no way as effective as the ACV...

as of today i am clear of any signs i ever had GW,.. the acv worked wonders, and i would highly reccomed to anyone suffering!!... be careful though as i found it did make the skin very sore, but moisturiser and tea tree oil has brought the old boy back to form!

anyone wondering wether to try the acv... i would have no hesitation to reccomend it.

Thanks to everyone on here!..:)"

I went to the doctor immediatly cause at that time I had the extra money for the exam. He told me that it looked like HPV enough that he needed to test it, but that it could also just be a skin tag do to damage to the skin. I was hoping for the latter, and sure enough he called and said the test was negative. I was relieved, until shortly after when i noticed i was getting more "bumps". I of course called him back and told him, but he said he wanted to test it again. It was 180 for the lab test alone not to mention the office fee. I don't have that kind of cash just laying around, so I started doing research on the net. I found this site about three days ago. I had already done the vinegar test so i knew thats what it was... I found a lot of people saying that the ACV worked wonders for them so i gave it a try. When the posts i found said pain... that was an understatement! it burnt soooo badly. I had tried to do the overnight thing and woke up with the burning everytime i moved. But sure enough today i got up and washed the fold of my leg with warm water and antibacterial soap, and some of those "bumps" fell off. skin is a little reddish but i'll take that anyday over these disgusting "bumps". Im taking the night off from the ACV just because i don't want my skin to get to raw, but i just want everyone to know how thankful i am this site exsists. I got this from a now ex boyfriend, who claims no responsibility even though he gave me chlamydia (sp?) twice while we were together. Its been a really rough experience for me and ive felt dirty ever since i found out. Don't get me wrong i know it could be worse.. but for me its pretty rough to talk about, especially in a small town like where i live. I haven't used the aspirin, castor oil, and ACV method yet but im going to tomorrow since ive now read it doesn't hurt as bad as just ACV. Im so thankful that this info is out there for people like me that can't really talk to anyone about it or afford to go get them removed by a doctor. Thank you guys sooooo much and i wish you all the best of luck in the future!"

Her warts showed up right after the birth of our son, around the opening of her vagina. The warts came at a really bad time, as her body was already working hard to heal from the physical trauma of the birth. She was also terribly embaressed to have gentital warts show up on top of all the other "unsexy" stuff that was going on for her. I read about the ACV treatment for warts on this website and we decided to try it.

I was totally blown away by have effective this treatment is! I don't think I've ever seen a natural remedy work so quickly and completely. It was almost like magic. Within about 3-4 days of applying cotton balls soaked in ACV before bed, there were no more warts. They turned white and then shrank and shrank until they were completely gone, and not even any scars or signs of where they had been. The ACV completely healed her. They even continued to shrink when she skipped a day with the ACV (because it was burning a little and she wanted to take a break.) Wow. This works so well, is so cheap, is so easy; it's almost a crime that doctors will charge you big bucks to burn or laser the warts off, when this works so much better! Good luck!"
