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

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.

To; XYZ from Toronto, Canada I think that the first ACV application and the next couple are crucial. You did 3 hours on the first and then went to 1 hour and then 20 minutes. I did my first application for 4 hours and then 2 times a day for 60-90 minutes each. Others leave the initial application in place overnight. We are all different and I think that perhaps you should let everything heal up a bit and then start with an overnight appication, or at least 5-6 hours. For the next 2 days do at least 60-90 minutes twice a day. If you can stand it, try to do 3-4 hours on your second application and then 60-90 minutes after that. Good luck!

A quick update to help others; After 3 weeks my shaft looked good. I could barely see the reminants of the larger warts. The skin was totally healed. I decided to do a 4 hours ACV soak and noticed some white spots. The next morning I did another 2 hours and saw some blackened wart roots. These were in exactly the same place as before. The roots blackened in 12 hours rather than 2 days and the largest wart got really black and seems to now be a crater. Last time this one got dark and peeled off but not nearly this black.
I can only surmise that this time the bulk of the wart is not there to insulate the roots from the ACV and the ACV can now go deep in and kill the roots.
It might be that 3 days was not enough the first time. I was to the point of pain so I am not sure I could do it longer. I am going to let this heal and do a 3rd application in about 3-4 weeks although this treatment is going very well.

if your skin gets irritated take a break for a day or two. also, after you use the acv and you remove the cotton balls or whatever youre using from the area you should rinse with warm water, gently massage with liquid antibacterial soap, and then apply some vitamin e oil. it will help the skin heal much faster.

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.

Update; On Tuesday evening I went swimming figuring that the water and chlorine would soften the blackened warts. That seemed to work well. After drying off I applied Tea Tree Oil to the warts and when I woke up this morning all but one had simply poked out of the hole. I brushed them off with my finger nail. It appears that I will have just a couple more days of healing and I'm done! This is truly amazing.

well i just discovered a hard lump up a couple inches inside so what im doing for that is at night ill take a tampon and soak it in acv (you might want to dilute it if it stings too much) and stuffing it up there for a few hours. i havent left it in over night yet, not quite sure how the ecosystem down there will react to that. this is only my second time doing it and it isnt very painful, only a little stingy when i sit up or move around a lot. also, i was going to try a douche with diluted acv if the tampon method doesnt work. but. so far. all is going well, the lump hasnt gotten bigger or invited friends to the party. and. all the previous warts from before are completely gone except for a small scar from a really big one. leave another post if you try it out and lemme know how it worked for you... ill keep everyone updated with my experience.

sassy, how did you soak the tampon? i tried to soak first then put in, but the cardboard wouldn't move then i tried putting tampon in first and then wetting it, but it the liquid just seem to run out. i have been doing treaments for 2 hours at a time on the other ones, been 2 days now, not really sure if i notice a difference or not, but i am not giving up yet. is there anything else i should do with the acv? thanks for all your help. it is deeply appreciated.

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...

Whoa. They're gone.
A week into treating my warts with ACV (gauze soaked in ACV, taped on with a band aid, overnight) and they are GONE.
The stubborn one wouldn't come off, so I pressed a sopping ACV soaked tissue to it for an hour before showering. I had a friend staying over my apartment and felt too self conscious to use the smelly treatment and stuck to a dab of tea tree oil. Then I left it alone for a day. The rest were all shrinking craters.
Two days later and nothing is left, just a slight pink mark that looks like it will heal up in a few days, as I have very pale and sensitive skin.
I am going to use the ACV treatment a few more times just to make sure everything is completely, 100% taken care of.
Look: I consider myself an intelligent, rational, and successful woman. I was way too embarrassed to tell anyone about this and considered holistic treatments cheap and ineffective. But this is NOT a placebo effect. Apple cider vinegar totally removed my wart. Amazing!

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 FOUND OUT 8 MONTHS AGO THAT I HAD GENITAL WARTS. I WASN'T SURPRISED DUE TO THE FACT THAT I KNEW I HAD HPV AND HAD GONE THROUGH EXTENSIVE TREATMENTS ALREADY TO GET RID OF PRE-CANCER CELLS. AFTER MANY FREEZING TREATMENTS, WHICH ONLY WORKED FOR A LITTLE WHILE, AND THE WARTS ALWAYS CAME BACK I FOUND THIS SITE. I'M ABSOLUTELY DESPERATE RIGHT NOW DUE TO HAVING NO HEALTH INSURANCE. SO TONIGHT IS MY FIRST NIGHT USING ACV. SO FAR I ONLY FEEL A LITTLE STINGING AND I'M HOPING THAT I EVEN PUT IT IN THE RIGHT SPOT LOL. I JUST REALLY HOPE THAT I CAN WRITE BACK HERE IN A FEW DAYS AND I WILL HAVE A SUCCESS STORY LIKE THE REST OF YOU. IT'S JUST REALLY GOOD TO KNOW THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE DEALING WITH THIS. I WILL UPDATE TOMORROW AND LET YA'LL KNOW HOW MY FIRST NIGHT WENT.

I have been using the qtip and tape method with acv for aprox. 3 days now.. I also changed it more then most, about 3-4 times a day. My question is i have a giant crater now but it seems like there is still alittle bit of black in the very bottom of the crater.. My skin is demolished and im curious if i need to keep applying the acv?? I have what seems to be a yellowish scab but it doesnt appear to be coming off anytime soon. I hope someone can give me alittle insight into this because everything i read is that after a few days it kinda scabs up and falls off and mine doesnt seem to be doing the same.. I definately dont want to quit applying the ACV too soon at this point. LOL
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I started useing this treatment two nights ago....I was completely skeptical, but we had some ACV in the house and though...What the heck. I gave it a try, it burned...not worse than I could handle. I woke up in the morning, no big difference from the night before...except slightly more tender in the "V" area. I figured I would try again, but if I didnt see results, this would be the last time. This morning when I got up for my morning pee, I removed the cotton ball and MUCH to my surprise it was nearly gone. I was flabber ghasted...I definately didnt expect it to work. Through out the day today, whenever I wipe after going pee, I have wiped away more and more of that little bugger. I am more than happy with this treatment, and the burning is an extremely small downfall to the results. If your skeptical, try it, its much cheaper than in office treatments so what do you have to lose?

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 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!

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!
