Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

I used ACV arround my anus for 3 days. i left for 2-3 hours a day. never tried overnight because it seemed burning my skin. but i did get rid of my GW that was arround my anus. dont leave it too long or overnight if you are having sored skin. also let it heal for 1-2 days. dont use anything.try again. im sure you can get rid of it.

When trying to deal with things like anal warts which, let's face it, are not exactly easy to see clearly, I found the following approach to be helpful.

I used a long, narrow cheval mirror which I placed on the floor and squatted over it, with my back towards the centre of the room (and thus the lights). This had the effect of opening up the anal area as well as could be done, but also directing the reflected overhead light exactly onto the area. It gave me a clear, well-lit view of exactly what I was dealing with.

The long mirror makes it easier to adjust your position to maximize the lighting, without having to change the angle of the mirror, or the position of your rear-end.Also the butt-cheeks are well spread apart, freeing both hands for applying medication etc.

I just found it all so much easier once I had adopted that method.

I have posted here before when I first started trying this several months ago. At first, I was just dealing with one on the right side of my shaft that was about 1/8" wide. After a while, some of it turned black and part of it fell off. I stopped after that to let it heal. Well.. there was also one on the left side of the shaft that was pretty small and I wasn't doing anything with that one.

A couple days ago, I decided to go at them.. both. I put some ACV on a piece of cotton (2 pieces) and applied each piece of cotton to each wart and then wrapped my shaft with that medical tape thread stuff. I left it on over night. Took it off in the morning. Both were white. I left the bandage off to give them some air. They both started to and eventually turned black. The smaller one fell off a couple days ago. The larger one.. that one stayed around and itched like crazy until last night.. I guess I was itching and it was ready and popped off. SWEET! That SOB has been there for about 10 years. Finally got rid of em.. for now. This stuff works.

Just let them breathe for a while after you remove the cotton and ACV. Also.. the ACV WILL irritate/burn the skin around the wart if you put a huge piece of cotton filled with ACV over it..... so try to make the cotton piece about the size of the wart. Also, don't go for really long periods of time. That and if some burning around the wart happens, dont put any ACV there for a day or 2 and let the skin around the wart heal up. You don't want to be burning that skin over and over and over.. let it breathe. Good Luck!

Ok so I just have one small wart on the opening of my vagina... it's very small. At first I thought it was a skin tag, but I was diagnosed with HPV last summer and that is when it appeared. My doctor said it looked like it was from the HPV. I was totally ecstatic when I saw this site! Everyone is so awesome for posting their stories, so that no one has to feel alone in this!

Basically I've been trying the apple cider vinegar treatment for 3 days now and nothing has happened. The wart has turned white, but it's not turning black or anything. I've been using a bandaid and soaked cotton ball on the wart for long periods of time, usually at least 5 hours during the day and then sleeping with it on at night. I'm surprised it hasn't turned black yet, it shows no signs of falling off.

In the mean time the rest of my skin is getting pretty burned and damaged from all the apple cider treatment. I'm not sure what to do, or how to make my wart come off. Also, I've not been using Hydrogen Peroxide like some people, just ACV. Does the HP really make a big difference in the treatment?

Okay, girls, I need your help on this one (regarding internal warts). Guys, this might be too much info for ya!

I got my warts zapped twice w/ liquid nitrogen, but they came back (note: not as much, though! Seems to have helped).

Well, after two months without sex with my boyfriend (long-distance AND I was out of the country for a month!), we finally did the dirty.

Ohhh, Lord, I knew something wasn't right-- it hurt, right up against my vaginal walls. Ughhh. I had a feeling I had internal warts, even though the external ones were gone.

I've been reading here about the extreme methods people go through-- keeping apple cider vinegar on for 24 hours or overnight. I'm trying to be really gentle because I don't want to do any damage/scarring.

I soaked a small cotton pad with 2 parts water, 1 part ACV and rolled it up and stuck it in my vagina for two hours. I took it out and there were definitely some white areas. Gross.

I'm planning on doing 2 hours for three times a day (maybe less... don't want to overdo it-- although is it less effective if you spread it out like that?)

QUESTIONS:

- The tampon thing, does it work if you insert a tampon normally or do you need it closer to the opening of the vagina b/c the warts are there? How many other girls have tried this? I know Lola has, but I want to hear if others have, too.

- Has anyone had a wart outbreak after a cut in their skin? It seems like every time my boyfriend and I have sex, my perineum tears (the area between the vagina and the anus). Instead of healing, I started getting a growth in its place, like a half an inch long. That's when I was diagnosed. I feel like that's what caused these outbreaks by allowing the virus to enter or something.

Anyways! Any help would be wonderful.

i started using ACV for my GW 3 days ago, and everything is working like you guys said it would! they turned white, and now they are black. i used ACV, and a little pice of cotton ball... I am also taking alot of vitamins (E, C, multivitamin... etc.) and running and exercising every day... so pretty much doing everything im suposed to.

My doctor said i have I have Condylomata acuminata. and when i was looking at different kind of warts on internet, mine just looked different! mine looks like a bug bite... its about the size of pumpkin seed and just red most of the time... idk... anyways, i just DONT see how this thing is just gona fall off... so if anyone had something like that and could help me, i would really appreciate it!!!

Does anyone have experience using ACV on the glans (head) of the penis to treat genital warts? I'm guessing it might be more painful than on the shaft, but I'm more concerned about how safe and effective it is to use ACV on the glans. Thanks!

I got what I believe to be GWs after having rough sex leaving my penis chaffed. I put neosporin cream on the chaffed spots and they healed. I later felt some bumps around the vagina of the girl I was having sex with. She went to two different Gynos and was diagnosed with skin tags. I then later noticed some small bunmps appearing in the same area that experienced the chaffing. I applied acv by taking a round flat cotton swab, soaking it in acv and using medical tape to secure it to the shaft. I left it on over night and in the morning there were some white areas/clusters and other bumpy areas that didnt turn any color but got bumpy and rough. Within another day or two the areas that turned white had come off in the shower. I'm still not positive that what turns white is definitely GWs but I dont care. Now the other area is rough and bumpy but doesnt turn any color when acv is applied. I'm now wrapping my entire penis with the flat cotton rounds soaked in acv. Im gonna leave it on for 4-5 hours just to see if anything else turns white. If it doesnt I feel like its probably just some type of irritation or scabbing. Thats my story.

I have been suffering with outbreaks for nearly 11 years with GW. It is the most embarrassing thing ever! I have tried all the prescription meds, and they are horribly painful! After reading several of these posts, and seeing the Side Effects section, my recommendation to all of you using the ACV treatment, is to be absolutely sure that the ACV is only applied to the GW and trying to avoid the skin all together. I know that is what is highly recommended when using the prescriptions. My first time having an outbreak, the doctor applied a GW remover (acid) in the office and instructed me to go home in 1 hour or so, and wash off. Well I fell asleep. After waking up, I remembered and washed off. The horrible side effect was that my anus had swollen so bad that I couldn't have a BM and became constipated!!! My mom just laughed at me...but it was horrible! I am so glad that I found this website/blog. I was actually searching for homemade shampoo recipes and just happened to see this link for ACV GW... I am definitely going to try the ACV treatment, being very careful! I hate having them, and thanks to an unfaithful high school sweetheart, I will always remember him!!!! Has anyone who has had a successful try with this remedy had any additional outbreaks? I know that GW's are a virus, which is 'suppose' to always be in your system and can appear at any time. And for women who are pregnant or PMS time, you can have an outbreak and unfortunately if your pregnant, they don't recommend using the acid treatments because they aren't sure of if the chemicals are absorbed into the body and cause the fetus to be affected. That was a horrible 9 months for!!

I used apple cider vinegar to cure my genital warts and they were gone in 4 days!!! It was the first thing I tried and I was amazed with my results. I did the cotton ball dipped in apple cider vinger and ten taped it over the warts. While I was doing this I was taking 3 to 4 400mg pills of Vitiman E per day. After night one they were all white. After night 2 they were all black (which means they are close to dead) I took the next night off then did it again the following 2 nights and they were gone. However apple cider vinigar is an acid and it can cause damage to your shaft. So don't rush and when you are done with the acv treatment use neosporin and apply vitamin E directly on your skin. You can break the Vitamin E pill with a toothpick and will ooze out. do this for 3 or 4 more days and everything will be back to normal within 10 days.

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.

Apple Cider Vinegar cured Genital Warts....I started this treatment five days ago and have a 90% success rate so far....I had a bunch of warts completely circling my anal area....The first night, I soaked a paper towel and left it on for a few hours....the second night, I applied a soaked cotton ball...I could only do this about 30 mins due to the burning....the next two nights I was able to keep the cotton ball applied for less than ten minutes - the stinging was pretty unbearable....I didn't do anything the fifth night except clean it with HP and apply some lotion w/aloe vera (I also used the lotion and HP between each of the treatments during the day).

I'm gonna wait one more day before I continue the treatment...the area was real sore and tender from the ACV "burning" the area - no visible damage, just very tender....I'm thinking a couple of more treatments on the few remaining warts and I should be ready to go.

I can't believe how well this worked - the stinging was bad, but not near as bad as the stigma attached to having the warts.... I was way too embarrassed to go to the doctor and was just hoping these things would go away on their own - they didn't. Anyhow, try it...it works!

Came across this site-looking for some help for gw. I have read all the emails and tried to follow the advice as best as possible. I had a couple of bad gw-and after 5 days-they have gone thru the turning black and then white around them and falling off in the shower. Upon notice-I see several small places where the wart was-that looked like little pimples-inside the area that was being treated. I have been very pleased with the progress so far and must say this site has been a life saver, however, I am curious if these are more warts or just a result of the treatment. If someone could please respond-I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks again for all the help

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.

I TRIED THE ACV REMEDY ON ONE AREA OF MY GW. ON THE THIRD DAY THEY WERE BLACK AND WHEN I WASHED I NOTICED THEM RUBBING OFF THEY NEVER CAME BACK ON THAT AREA AGAIN.. I PLAN ON TRYING THEM AGAIN IN ANOTHER AREA THAT I HAVE. ALL I DID WAS SOAK A QTIP IN ACV AND TORE OFF THE COTTON TIP PLACED IT ONT HE AREA AND LEFT IT ON THE FIRST NIGHT I COULD ONLY STAND A FEW HOURS THE SECOND NIGHT I LEFT IT ON ALL NIGHT THAT THE THIRD NIGHT ALL NIGHT AS WELL THAT AREA IS STILL CLEAR.
