Apple Cider Vinegar Cure for Warts

Home Remedy Ingredients:

• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Small Piece of Cotton Ball

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is also a very popular wart remedy. Soak a small bit of a cotton ball, no bigger than the size of the wart, in ACV, apply it to the wart, and secure it with a band-aid. You can replace the cotton with a new soak once or twice a day. In a couple of weeks, your wart should be gone.

[YEA]  10/25/2011: Brittanya.m from Jackson, Tennessee replies: "ACV Cure for Warts

I have had numerous warts in my short life, mostly on my feet. Unfortunately I grew one on my middle finger of my right hand my freshman year of college. I tried EVERYTHING, at home freezing, Dr. Freezing, wart creams, duct tape... Yeah, everything. Sometimes it would look like it would shrink a little just to come back bigger the next week. Then I read about ACV for warts. Let me tell you when nothing else works this stuff does! Just dampen a piece of a cotton ball with the ACV and put a bandage on to keep it there and continue as usual.

The downsides, it hurts like the dickens! Not at first or always, but it started to burn. After a few days my wart started to peel a little and shed a "layer". When I reapplied the ACV to the wart after taking the layer off, it burned a little all night. Then the next layer of the wart would get tough and it wouldn't hurt so bad. This happened repeatedly. Each time another layer would come off the ACV burned even more. I consider myself to be decent with pain, but there were nights I absolutely could not get to sleep because it burned so bad. It really felt like I was holding my finger up to a lighter.

Now, almost as soon as I took the ACV off at night, the pain eased - so if it becomes there's quick relief. Eventually I had a little crater in my finger where the wart had been. I probably kept the ACV up longer than I needed (about 2 weeks for the darn thing), but with all I had tried I was scared to stop.

But that was it, it was gone and it's been 5 years now."

09/17/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "Dear Mandy, There is BHT [ butylated hydroxytoluene ]. From what I have come across on the web it seems to work well for some people for warts of different types. Most of these reports disuss BHT as a treatment for genital warts. I don`t know if it will help you or not but it is worth a try. Though most people have no problem taking the 350mg capsules BHT is most often sold in some do have problems including dizzyness and hives. I suggest doing a simple sensitivity test by opening up a capsule and empty the contents onto a small plate. Then licking your finger and daubing it onto the crystals and licking the crystals off your finger and waiting a few hours to see if you have any negative response.

There has been a lot of research that shows an average lifespan increase for mice dosed with BHT over thier entire lifetimes of as much as 45%. My point being that BHT in theraputic dosages has been proven to be benificial and seems to work well for some people with warts. You can do your own research about this by doing a web search using: BHT and warts. BHT is very inexpensive also. It costs between 10 and 15 dollars for 100 capsules. I hope this works for you if you decide to give it a try....Oscar"

09/18/2011: Mandy from Houston, Texas replies: "Today I have no pain. The wart looks smaller and black. I think it is dead. So I plan on NOT dipping it anymore in ACV but, doing the bandaid with cotton ball. I think it is going to work. I do see a difference. I have sensitive skin and I think the dipping into the ACV was a little too extreme for me. I will update in a week. I love this site. I can spend TOO much time here reading! Thank you so much for all the information here!!"

10/31/2011: Jessica from Pittsburgh, Pa replies: "I have read on another site to dilute the ACV with water with a ratio of 1 to 1. Maybe that will make it less painful. Good luck!"

11/07/2011: Margie from Las Vegas, Nv replies: "Holly, Thanks for the encouraging words. I have a three year old daughter. She has a huge wart on the thumb of her right hand just to the side of the finger nail. Another on the outside knuckle of her left thumb and yet another on the inside of her left thumb. She also has two on her face. One just below the bottom lip and a smaller one just above.

I have tried the Compound W, Black Tea bags, Tagamet (per her pediatrician) and also taken her to the dermatologist who did not want to treat them due to the pain involvd...

Last week I tried the Apple Cider Vinegar. I had to stop treatment after three days on her left thumb because the vinegar is eating her flesh, but it has developed a black scab that has yet to fall off.

The huge one has turned black and I see a seperation line forming at the base of the wart. The vinegar is also starting to eat the flesh of this thumb, so I wrap the non affected area with cotton and a band aid, then apply the ACV soaked cotton ball and more band aids. She reported no pain last night. I am anxious to see this thing disappear! "

01/18/2012: B.lee from Pharr, Tx replies: "Did that apple vinegar or ACV help her? I have similar problems on my fingers. I have gone to the doctor to have them burned off, but it looks like they are gone and then all of a sudden another one appears. I really need to find a cure because I am desperate."

03/26/2012: Ann from Yakima, Wa replies: "Apply Castor Oil, yes castor oil to the wart. I had one and in less than one week it was gone and no return:)"

09/18/2011: Mandy from Houston, Texas replies: "I know how horrible that pain is.. I had one and it is awful pain. I suggest trying the apple cider vinegar. I have read over and over again on this site how it worked for them. Absorb cotton ball in ACV and apply to the wart, then tape it on the wart. Try to use tape. I believe it will work! I am working on killing a wart at this time that is on my finger tip and it is shrinking, and has turned black. I hope you try this! Good luck to you!!"

[YEA]  05/17/2011: Stargazer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Usa replies: "For about two years I had a wart on the inside of the third finger on my right hand where the first joint is. I went to the dermatologist and she applied liquid nitrogen on two or three separate occasions and it did not work. I read about applying ACV to the wart and this is what I did: I took the cotton end of a Q-tip swab and soaked it in ACV that I purchased at Target for less than $1. With the ACV soaked cotton pressed to the wart, I secured it with a band aid. I did this for about a week, applying a fresh piece morning then again at night. Eventually I just kept the wart covered with the ACV/band aid overnight.

After about two weeks later I noticed the wart turning dark and eventually it dried. I was able to remove what was left of the wart with cuticle nippers. The skin where the wart once was is perfectly smooth and the wart has not grown back. I swear by this remedy and will now use organic ACV (_____'s) for solar keratosis that I have on my back and chest. My dermatologist prescribed imiquimod but the lesions look worse now than before. After the course of treatment I will try the ACV if the imiquimod does not work. I will keep everyone posted!"

[YEA]  08/02/2011: Stephen from O Fallon, Missouri replies: "Apple Cider Vinegar definitely works. Just make sure to apply it consistently it for fast results! I used cotton balls, Q-tips, adhesive bandages, and sports tape and it worked wonders for me.

In fact, here is a picture of my foot before and after I used ACV on it:

02/04/2011: Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France replies: "I had the contrary, as I had a big wart on my leg which wasn't disappearing with ACV I decided to use white vinegar for a few days. It was looking good so I decided to do it one last time during the night to be sure the wart was gone. My leg got very sore and it hurt a lot. When it healed I had a big brown mark, many times bigger than the wart so I really regretted it but now, almost a year later the mark is a lot lighter and actualy doesn't bother me anymore. It is near my ankle so no one is going to look down there and I think that it will still get lighter. As yours is white I really don't know. I have a lot of white spots all over my body and I have never found anything to give them some color."

[YEA]  07/17/2012: Carina from Edinburgh, Uk replies: "I am responding to the lady with little white scars from warts, I have stumbled across dermal rollering and I am in awe, be carefull of doing this if you have any flatwarts as they could spread. It will bring the pigment back after time. My flatwarts were everywhere after being misdiagnosed and given cortisones ( which will stimulate them as sugary foods will too... So the CURE IS APPLE CIDER VINEGAR from head to foot ( yes I stank) 1 month 3 times a day and now I dermal roller I want to upload a picture one day as I am 50 and my skin is better now than it ever was in my entire life. Clarins 20 sunblock everyday and argan oil at night. This really does work. I felt like a leper a year ago now I am so happy I found ACV simple but it WORKS be patient and keep at it.. Love and light to anyone out there who feels like I did. BE DETERMINED xxx"

[NAY]  05/17/2012: Farah from Fremont, Ca replies: "Hello all, I have been using apple cider vinegar for a week now. At first I saw some black dots but eventually the wart got white and puffy. I picked on it and the outer layer came off. Thus the wart looked smaller but underneath the other layer there remained a smaller wart. I have been using a cotton ball soaked Apple Cider Vinegar and bandaid to cover it over night. But it's again getting white and puffy with some black dots, but that's about it. The wart is not getting completely black as I read it should. It hurts like hell. B4 Apple Cider Vinegar I tried raw crushed garlic one night but ended up with a huge blister. Now to treat that I am using neosporin around the wart and Apple Cider Vinegar on top of the wart. Getting impatient with this now. Need help."

05/17/2012: Gregory from Dfw, Tx replies: "The homeopathic Thujua occidentalis works great for warts. Be sure to follow abstaining from certain things during use of homeopathics. I think its caffiene, menthol, alcohol, and mint."

06/20/2012: Girl from Seattle, Wa replies: "I have been doing ACV for a few days now and my wart has just gotten much bigger and white. What happened to you? Did it end up going black and coming off? I'm worried about this wart just getting bigger and bigger...."

09/02/2012: Kay from Destin, Fl replies: "I had what I assume was a plantar wart imbedded into the ball of my foot; it was a growth that looked exactly like a kernel of corn (when dug & pried out) but obviously with a root attached to a blood vessle, because it was a bloody mess to remove. Despite removal, it keep growing back bigger year after year. Nothing 'cure it' after 10 years. Being my dominant foot and very painful once it reached a certain size; I got desperate and used an insulin needle to inject it with a bit of Clorox. Problem solved; within a week it 'died" once and for all, and turned into a dried up callus-kernel which I pried out for the very last time. It's been 10 years now and no sign of it! What a relief to have that over & done with!!"
