Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

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.

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

I put acv on my vaginal area with cotton balls and left it on 2 nights in a row. Now my skin is almost like blisters and the sores are weeping. Of couse the warts are gone. Yeah! But I have open skin and I am scared. No money for a dr. Thanks

I have been battling GWs for about a year. I've tried freezing them off and they do go away for a couple of months only to return. I found this site Friday and started treatment immediately.

At first I thought that I had 6 warts(2 large, 2 medium, 2 small). I was worried about burning my skin so I decided that I would do a 4 hour soak Friday and then 1 hour twice a day for 2-3 days. Friday I put a towel on my bed and soaked some gauze and wrapped the shaft and scrotum. I laid there for 4 hours making sure to keep the gauze wet. No burning at all. No redness or irritation at all. I was amazed to see that I probably had 30-40 warts. Most were not visible until after the ACV soak.

Saturday morning I did the same thing for 2 hours. Slight burning occured but not too bad. The warts had turned white. The 2 large ones were black in the middle. Throughout the day I noticed that many of the small ones were simply falling off (AFTER ONE DAY!) The large ones are shrinking and turning more black.

This did appear that it will work for me as it seems to be following the classic protocol. I've did another hour Saurday night and again Sunday morning. I went ahead and did another hour Sunday night. I certainly would not leave this on overnight or all day.

This morning all of the smaller white ones are completely gone and the skin is healthy looking. The larger ones are all black and seem to be ready to fall off any time now.

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.

SO. one fine morning while showering i noticed a teeeeeny tiny little minuscule skin tag just hangin out in my perineum (space between the vag and bumola hole). 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!!!

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 first had 2 of these suckers about 4 or 5 years ago, after id been with the same man for years. i was young and flipped out and went immediately to the gyno. she put a needle in my nether regions to numb it and cut them off. it sucked, but they were gone and the next day i was fine with no scarring. i spent a lot of time being angry and upset, but after some research and perspective i realized that there is really no way of knowing where i got this from, as viruses are tricky and can hide for years...and that it did...well the other day while showering a felt one. like a little skin tag. i felt it, but when i looked at it with a mirror it was flesh colored..i knew i had to take care of it asap because these little bitches will spread and grow in clusters if not regulated quickly. being less traumatized this go round, i decided to look for natural remedies (i learned to use tea tree oil for yeast infections, and will never pay 13.00 for monistat seven EVER again). so i came across this site. used the cotton ball last night. there was no remarkable pain. when i woke up, it had turned white, and I noticed some incipient little ones. i put it on today and it BURNED like a mofo. but, it eventually subsided. had it on at work but had to remove it because the smell was so strong! looked at it after work. still white, and it feels removed, like i could pick it off...but i won't. area is sore and inflamed, but i will do it again. i think after tonight it's going to fall off..it looks pretty dead..starting to look greyish...will let everyone know...

ps - i JUST received a bill from the insurance company for the wart removal from years ago...i guess insurance didn't even cover it. all the more reason to go this route.

I have had a genital wart for almost 10 years now, showing up about the same time I started to cease my philandering ways. 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.

8 month ago I found out that I had genital warts so I asked my doctor what's the cure for the disease. He told me there is no cure. He suggested having my genital warts freeze off. The freeze therapy was painful but the warts were gone few days later. However, the warts keep coming back and the freeze therapy did the trick temporarily, and I even tried laser and that didn't work at all. I was frustrated and seeking for a cure. 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.

Apple Cider Vinegar cured my genital warts!!! 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!!!

just had to write that the acv works amazingly! Ive never felt compelled to write something in a forum like this, indeed It sure isnt something to shout about or be proud of having got "GW"

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 discovered this bump on the fold of my leg about two months ago. 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!

I found this website while searching online for a natural remedy for my wife's genital warts. 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!

YEA for ACV + genital warts: I embarrassingly discovered on my own a bunch of small little specs throughout my labia and larger ones around my anus and did some research and found out that it was the dreaded genital warts! :(

Anyway, I'm SOOOO glad to have come upon this site!

I tried the ACV, and it worked! Here's what I did:

I showered, and washed everything very thoroughly with gentle soap, then dried, and splashed everything with ACV and put a cotton ball soaked with ACV and tucked it into my labia area. No burning at first, but pretty darn quickly! WOAH! Fire! I'm pretty good with pain, and I decided to stick it out. Throbbing pain which eventually subsided.

The next morning, I removed the cotton ball and showered, washed well again, and did the same procedure. Again, LOTS of burning! This is NOT for the weak! I took the cotton ball out after about 15mins as I couldn't take it anymore. At night, same procedure, except I applied aloe vera on top, and didn't leave the cotton ball there. MUCH, much better feeling!

Warning, a bit graphic..
The next morning, I went to wipe after peeing, and ended up seeing a whole bunch of little spots rubbed off onto the toilet paper! While showering, I noticed more than half of the spots were gone! 90% in the labia area, with exception of 2 small stubborn ones!
I washed, splashed with the ACV again, and applied the aloe vera as well.

For the rest of the day, every time I wiped down there, I was taking these spots off! Fantastic! I repeated it again that night, again, avoiding leaving the cotton ball there, and the next morning ALL except 2 stubborn ones around my anus were GONE! AMAZING! In 2 days!

The anal wart took another couple days to wipe off, but I can't recommend this enough if you can tolerate a bit of pain! I just used regular $1.49 bottle of ACV from the grocery store! Gotta give it a shot!

Hi Guys, I just wanted to share my experience about using ACV and the joy that came with it. I have tried using many different treatments, but after reading about Ryan's experience with using ACV I decided to give it a go! I applied ACV to my warts by soaking a cotton ball with ACV and then using some medical tape to hold it in place, I did this prior to going to bed; it did begin to tingle a bit, but no pain. The following morning after removing the AVC and medical tape the warts were all white, very white. Lunch time I went to the bathroom, what did I discover, they had all turned very dark. By that evening they looked good as dead and by the following morning after that all had fallen off in the shower leaving a little red mark. 2 days have passed since then and new skin is building! Forget creams, forget freezing, ACV is the real deal and after 6 yrs of fighting, I found the best weapon, ACV! Thanks Ryan!

Ok,so I saw my nurse practitioner the other day because something wasnt quite right 'down there' i had a vague feeing of what it might be before i went, but she was really unhelpfuly and suggested 'it looks a bit warty' i was like, ok so you cant tell me ANYTHING MORE?! and she said no go to the GUM...so here I am, not wanting to go to the GUM cause I know its highly unlikely to be the other thing she suggested 'just one of those things' so im trying the natural approach first. I've just applied my first 'dose' of ACV and its a mixture of stinging and throbbing.... but its not too unbearable, I'm gonna try and keep it on while i sleep, and hopefully things will look even a tiny bit better in the morning. I;ve gone through a lot of stuff already this year, genital warts are NOT something I need. I really hope this works, I know i was sceptical when I first read up on this technique but after so many people have had what sound like good results i figured i had to give it a go and maybe me writing this will give other people even a bit of hope (I know since i found these things the other day, this site has made me feel better about the whole thing!) wish me luck!! will update tomorrow!! x x x
