Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

I was just diagnosed with GW. I went to the dr. and she applied acid to it. Not much happened until I came to this website and read about ACV. Wow. Has that made a difference. I have been applying twice a day for 3 days. It is almost gone. Thank you!!!

I noticed a couple of very small, flat white spots on the shaft of my penis a few months ago. I didn't think much of it until they persisted so I went to the dermatologist so that he could take a look at what I feared were GW's. He said that they didn't look like anything to be concerned about, so I was obviously very relieved. He also mentioned that a good way to test is to put white vinegar on any suspected spots and that they would turn white within a minute or two if they were indeed warts.

I sorta forgot about them until one day I noticed that I actually had white vinegar in the house so I decided to give it a try. To my horror the spots (and a couple of other spots) turned bright white after a few minutes. I obvioulsy panicked and made a Dr appointment to have them frozen off. I then started doing web research and found that freezing them might not be the best option. I then luckily found this website!

I did the spot treatment method in which I taped small, wart-sized pieces of cotton ball which were soaked in ACV to the warts. I pretty much left the soaked cotten pieces on 24/7 for three days. I would take them off to shower and rinse with hydrogen peroxide after the shower. They turned white after Day 1, grey by Day 2, and began falling off by Day 3. HOWEVER, leaving the soaked cotton on 24/7 was a mistake. It did get rid of the warts, BUT seriously burned a lot of skin around them as well. I began using vitamin E oil (by piercing the gelcaps with a pin) and all eventually healed up. This was about 2 months ago.

Earlier this week I noticed a few more spots so I decided to check with white vinegar again, and indeed several spots illuminated. I suspect that I missed a couple of small warts with my previous 'spot' treatment, and irritated or spread them through contact. This time I am using a somewhat broader method by using a swatch of paper towel soaked in ACV to cover a larger area (hoping that I don't miss any this time). I left the 1" x 1" swatch taped to the shaft of my penis yesterday (Day 1) for about 8 hours, and when I removed it there were several more spots that I had not noticed before which had turned white, and a few which had already turned black. After showering last night, I rinsed with HP and put vitamin E oil on overnight. Repeated the 1" x 1" swatch this morning (Day 2), and will keep you posted.

I have also been taking vitamins since I first noticed the warts a few months ago. I take a vitamin e, stress B complex (lots of B vitamins, folic acid, and vitamin C), and multivitamin daily. I'm hoping that is helping internally with the virus itself.

Well....I am sold on ACV. After a drastic attempt using petty spurge, which worked, but which removed all of the skin and the warts in one go, but which had them coming back in much-increased numbers,possibly due to the extensive skin damage, I decided to use ACV. I thought it was never going to work, and it probably took the best part of three weeks, but it DEFINITELY WORKED!

The warts did not turn black, though some became rather greyish before they finally came off.

I used some steroid cream and some antibiotic ointment on the area to aid healing and prevent infection.

If any more appear I shall just keep up with the ACV. There was a bit of stinging but, by and large, it wasn't too bad at all. And, after being told by an "expert" that ACV "won't work", I am pleased to report that it DEFINITELY DOES! You have to give your skin a break to prevent too much damage, but at least you can judge it fairly well.

I didn't even have to bother with cotton-wool. Just used carefully-folded wads of toilet paper which stayed in position all night.

Thank God for this site, and I'm not religious!

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.

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.

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 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!

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!!!

OK I am totally amazed!! The one wart I tried it on is completely gone with absolutely no scarring and the skin color is back to normal. It has been almost a month since I posted but it took only about a week for the wart to fall off and now you can not even tell!

All I did was apply the ACV with a q-tip and tape it in place over night. I experienced no pain what so ever. I started taking multi-vitamins and working out as well, and then let the body do the rest. I didnt apply any vitamin E or anything just used HP everyday on the area 2-3 times a day to clean it well.

1 wart down 1 more to go!!"

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 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.
