Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

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.

After discovering that my wife of 8 years was having an affair, I immediately filed for divorce. Shortly after, I discovered a growth on my shaft which I dismissed as an ingrown hair until it began growing and formed into a second one.

Sure enough, it was GW. I was absolutely petrified... I was a virgin until marriage, and I was under the sad impression that my ex was as well. Clearly not.

In all honesty, I was way too embarrassed to see a doctor, so I began frantically searching for more discreet treatments. Thank GOD I found this website.

Long story put short, I immediately began barraging my body with immune boosting vitamins in the OTC "Airborne" tablets. I also started eating 3-4 fresh garlic cloves each day.

The ACV treatment came next. Basically, I am following the same band-aid+cotton solution each night and followed it up with tea-tree oil + vitamin E between ACV applications. Within 24 hours, the warts turned pitch-black after first becoming white. I couldn't believe it...

On to day-2! I just applied round 2 of ACV, and I am very optimistic. The only side-effect has been the expected burning sensation which is a negligible price to pay for the desired outcome.

Necrosis never felt so good!

THANK YOU for your help in saving me from immense humiliation.

I am using ACV for genital warts just started today and I am hoping it works so far it doesn't burn. Getting the bandaids to stick near my anus proved difficult. But i bought some vitamin E oil and skipped on the tea tree beause the only one i could find was for hair. So Just applied it I will keep you abreast of the results.

*** P.S My big Wart had already started to turn white before apply soooo does anone know what that means??????

Even the cheap Vinegar made from chemicals works. So does apple cider. Started with cheap vinegar. The 3 warts were gone in 3 days. Later started applying apple cider just to be sure. Don't know how long the vinger needs to be applied. When you apply vinegar...it will show more warts (white spots) than you thought. Thus i think the vinegar needs to be applied on a larger area than just the wart.

Well to start off, like many other people on this forum, I contracted genital warts. During a rougher sexual experience, I managed to get a cut on the side of my shaft, which is usually covered when not erect, I am uncircumcised. A couple weeks later after it began to heal, I noticed that where i healed was hard and something started to grow there that looked like cauliflower. Well after seeing a urologist, i found out it was genital warts. He performed burned off this growth using a procedure that is called Electrocautery. After this painful experience,they seemed to disappear, but during the healing process, in the same spot i notice 2 more small warts grow. During the checkup, the dr burnt those off too. Seemingly solving the problem, but costing be $180 (after insurance) for each visit. After a few months, I developed another wart, or small clump of them where my foreskin connects and a very small one in the same spot where it all started. Being that I cant afford to keep dishing out $180 over & over, I looked for other options, & extemely happy I found this site.

After reading others' stories, I tried the ACV treatment last night and it has worked so far. After cleaning the area with HP, I soaked a small amount of a cotton swab in ACV and taped a piece to both setsof warts. After about 20 mins, both turned bright white. I reapplied news swabs after observing the process and left it overnight. In the morning I checked on the progress and the bigger clump looked to have separated. Not much progress with the smaller one. Now later at night I went to repeat the same process, and as I was cleaning the bigger clump with HP, a piece fell off!!!!! IT WORKS!. Im hoping after this treatment I see more results! I suggest this treatment to anyone. Applying the ACV yesterday didnt hurt at all! Tonight it have an extremely minimal sting. I believe even an infant can handle the pain without crying. If your like me and dont wanna spend hundreds off dollars just to keep going back, try this. What do you have to lose? The $4 that I spent on the ACV is def worth the risk.

ACV=Apple Cider Vinegar 5% purchased at ACME grocery store
HP=Hydrogen Peroxide

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR SUBMITTING AND THANK YOU EARTHCLINIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I understand the nature of the internet and it's spiders very well I dared to contribute about a subject that I have been so ashamed of for so long, but the results that I got from using ACV are so amazing I had to contribute hoping that my words could reassure someone who might be unsure if this is worth trying. I am a female. After reading this site for hours one night I tried a treatment immediately and just as so many had explained the warts that I could see were white the next day, some turned black and came out while I was using the bathroom. Also, note worthy, is the fact that there were so many more than I knew because it seems to bring them to the surface. YES YOU CAN PUT A TAMPON IN THE ACV AND PUT IT INSIDE YOUR VAGINA. It doesn't really hurt that much the first day but whew! YES IT IS GOING TO HURT VERY MUCH, VERY VERY MUCH ON THE SECOND OR THIRD DAY. . .I personally couldn't do more than a few hours by the 3rd day as I couldn't really get the tampon in my vagina from the swelling by day three. It's ok to take a break. So many of these stories suggest that it will be over in a day or so that was not the case for me. Over the past week I have had to wear a panty liner to catch the now liquified internal warts that have been basically draining for a week now. Tonight I am doing another treatment with more focus on the few partially external warts that I have by fully packing my vagina with the tampon and packing the external area more carefully with ACV soaked cotton balls and holding them in place with a large pad in my panty. I know this works because I have seen new beautiful skin that I haven't seen in a very long time smiling back at me. Don't be discouraged if it takes longer than a few days and you don't have to torture yourself with pain for more than a few days at a time, it doesn't seem to be necessary. If you need to take some time to heal a little you can come back to treat them after some of the irritation settles down. I have also experienced shots and jolts of pain over the past week even though I had stopped treatment, that was my body still healing and removing it's unwanted parasite. I am so grateful for the site and all of the knowledge that it offers. Now go get your supplies and get started! Common store brand ACV does work topically, $1.27, however I take an organic ACV shot orally and intend to do a monthly ACV douche for the next 6-12 months as a follow-up to this treatment. Best wishes

Just adding to the slew of people who say acv works to get rid of GW. Oh my gosh, so I am on day 3. I have tried so many things to try and get rid of the annoying buggers. I used aldara which is extremely expensive and it did not work, went through the whole box, and instead of going away they got bigger and spread. Yeay, thats just great, so then I had them frozen, no just spread even more. Now I have been trying the ACV and in just 3 days they have already turned black. Right now I am just focusing on the one external, a little to scared to try the tampon thing, maybe I will try it soon, I thought about doing the acv douche though. I have been seeing positive results and will continue to update. I have also been drinking the acv everyday and have bathed in it once. The bath was draining, probably releasing the toxins out of my pores. I feel and look so much better. ACV is a cure-all. The best thing I have ever come across. This site is a life-saver. Thanks so much.

I was really hoping that I was going to be able to post something positive here about apple cider vinegar for two warts on my wang...and after three days, I get too...Honestly, truthfully, and on the real...this stuff works...and I had zero pain. I can see that it may sting in some cases. But for the two on my member, I didnt even feel a pinch. I first cleaned each wart with hydrogen peroxide as reccomended by some other dude on here. I took a Q tip and soaked it in ACV. I then cut the tip in half and placed it on the offending wart. I placed a round small bandaid on top. I did this around midnight and went to sleep. Next day, the wart was white and already beginning to look like it was it was going to come off. 2nd night, same thing, next morning, wart was darker and half falling off. I washed it in the shower using a loofa an pretty much all of it came off. I then covered the skin with vitamin E from a gel pill that i popped with a safety pin. I did the treatment for a third night on the tiny bump that was left on the shaft. Still no pain. Some of the skin around the wart turned slightly blackish which is why i applied the vitamin e. in the morning I showered and scrubbed and everything was gone, including the blackish skin that surrounded the wart...I towel dried and rubbed some neosporin+pain on the reddish aread where the last tiny bump had come off when I showered this morning. As of this post I elimintaed two warts that I had on my shaft for almost 6 months in 3 painless days and it only cost me about 5 bucks. I promise it works.

Side note: On the first day of ACV treatment I started taking 4 garlic pills/ day, 1 1000mg vitamin E pill/ day, 1 multivitamin/day, I drink 2 cups of each orange juice and apple juice a day, and took a 1 oz shot of ACV the first and third night of treatment (and will continue to do so every other night for the next month or 3). I chase each shot with a FULL glass of water without stopping until its completely done. Remember, you just swallowed acetic acid. I also ... often, drink about 8 glasses of water, and go to the gym and/or do something athletic outside every day. I surf weekly. I also sleep at least 8 hours every night. During the 3 days of treatment I left the ACV on the entire time I was sleeping and did not remove until I woke up. Good luck, I promise it really does work, just be patient, positive, and pray to whoever it is you pray to.

I have been using the ACV to treat my GW's and have been pretty pleased with the results almost all are GONE. However I am on my 5th day and have noticed my skin down there is really bumpy, has anyone else had this problem? The area isn't turning white with the ACV, so I don't think their warts but I'm not sure, possibly just irritation? Help!!! I soak a cotton ball and gauze and leave it on the area usually overnight.

I am amazed. A few months ago while showering I noticed a tiny bump on my outer southern region. I too thought it was an ingrown hair and thought it would go away - but in time it got a little bigger. In time I also noticed that I was itching a great deal down there. I was concerned. On Sunday I noticed another tiny bump higher up. Of course I freaked out - I was fairly certain now that I had an STD and was sure it was warts on my who-ha. OMG... what? Uuggghhh - disgusting. Who is ever going to want to touch me again now that I have a toady sex zone??? Disgusted & upset I came here. ACV seems to be the cure all for all ailments. Thank you all for posting your stories - it really does make one feel better and feel that there is hope to not continue having disgusting bumps on your privates.

I know exactly who gave it to me and at first I was quite upset... but he does not know he has it, does not have visible warts and a condom cannot prevent it. Coming here and reading the stories really made me see that just about anyone can get it and it does not mean that you are a dirty person or have to be promiscuous to contract it. It seems pretty common and happens to people in all walks of life - around the globe. But WHY me??? right!!

Monday, I went out and purchased a fresh batch of ACV at the local co-op. Monday night I soaked up some cotton balls and tucked them into my Va-gi-gi folds - it stung a little but not much. I adhered a panty liner and went to bed. Yesterday - when I awoke I discovered I have a total of 3 and they were obvious and now more raised & greyish. I dabbed them with HP and then showered - blow dried not toweled -- dabbed again with HP then Q-tip dabbed with ACV. In the afternoon - I only misted some cotton balls with ACV and placed them down there again - this time the sting lasted much longer but subsided after 10 minutes. I left them there for a few hours. At this point I felt a little tender down there. I mixed up an oil in no specific quantity - just a mixture of castor, olive, Vit E & A, tea tree & thuja oils - I put that on. I always tell myself not to get aggressive with things - but GW - come on - I had a hard time not doing something every minute. I wanted them gone. Last night I took a bath and added about a 1/2 cup of ACV. Blow dried again - then HP dabbs followed by the cotton balls soaked - pressed into fold. I thought I was going to scream. When people say it stings --- IT STINGS... the only thing I could do was tell myself it is working - it is working. It is painful --- I am sensitive - I cannot lie - it really stings, burns - at least for me. The other thought I had was -- the pain I am feeling right now - is not worth the pleasure it took to get here. OWE. I think I lasted 1/2 hour then put my oil mix on again and all was good again.

So, I started Monday night. Today, Wednesday - to my amazement - they all washed off in the shower. I HP'ed them then put on my oil. My Va-gi-gi area is swollen - but it does not hurt - just slightly irritated but totally worth it. I am going to stop the ACV for a few days but continue with the HP and oil. I'm guessing in 3 days I will do an overnight with ACV and see if there are any. On a side note - I also decided to purchase a reusable douche (did I mention I am freaked out - who knows what's up there?) and started yesterday with a diluted ACV wash. I also started taking probiotics just in case http://jarrowprobiotics.com/products.php I also drank some diluted ACV yesterday and today. I have a pap on the 10th. I am actually praying it comes back negative - no hurt in hoping.

Okay I am back with an update. I have been using the acv treatment for about a week. I havnt been able to leave it on for more than an hour due to the burning. But I have to say that things are looking better. I did a double dose last night of acv, hp and tee tree oil. This morning when I woke up I had some bleeding so I know something is working. I am hopfull that i will be gw free in a couple of weeks. I am also duching with diluted acv and tee tree oil once a day. I have no idea if it is working but i have to try. I have also found a new remedie that i will try tonight. I found it online Oil of Oregano. I know that this heals most ailments when taken internally and it is pretty potent stuff. Has anyone else heard of this to treat warts? Like I said I dont know if it will work but this is what im going to do. Clean the infected area well with hp apply vitamin e on the surrounding skin then rub the oil of oregano on the wart itself let it be then apply tee tree oil to a cotton ball and leave over nite. I will update with my findings in a couple of days. Thanks to all!

I would like to give feedbeck on the acv treatment for those who hasnt tried it yet or hesitate to try it. I have had genital warts for about a year now, 2 small and one relatively big at the shaft of my penis. I was given Warticon at my local sexual health clinic which worked well. Unfortunately after about 3 weeks the warts started to slowly grow back! Then I found this site and I was very much looking forward to get rid of these disgusting things. I must say it works like a miracle! All you need to buy is:

- apple cider vinegar
- plasters
- cotton balls

Make a somewhat flat piece of cotton rather than a ball shape so that it covers the wart. Make an effort to not make it bigger than the wart itself because it will burn the skin area around the wart very badly. Then soak the cotton piece in acv and tape it against the wart. I used it on the big one, and it burned like hell. It was very painful for about 10-15 minutes after which the pain eased and disappeared. I kept it on overnight.

Now, the warts looks sucks big time even before the treatment but man, when I took the plaster off in the morning I was disgusted. However I read it previously on this site how it will look and this helped. It turned totally white in color and also it seemingly pouted out from my skin, as if my skin wanted to isolate it from itself. Such a dishusting sight.

Then I did not do anything just went to work and decided to repeat the process the evening.

When I checked it before the next treatment I was quite disappointed as the color started to go back to normal and also it was more burrowed in the skin as it was in the morning.

I repeated the process.

Same burning pain for 10 minutes then it cedes.

Next morning as I took it off I knew it will work. The wart was much smaller and dark red - black in color. I was horrified to see that there were actually a couple of smaller warts around the big one that I could not see before..these also turned into black.

I decided to give my skin a break so I did not apply acv anymore on that area.

This was one and a half weeks ago and the warts are completely gone however I still have some small scab there plus some discoloration of the tissue. Nonetheless I am extremely pleased!

Just to sum up my experience,

the warts are actually killed in a matter of a couple of days, but the scab itself will stay there up until two weeks (!) so you might want to consider this as well. Even so It is a great thing, thank you Earth Clinic.

ACV cured my genital warts.

I was very pleased to see a remedy on this site for my ailment. I had half heartedly tried a few things on my own with little results. coconut oil seemed to stunt the growth and soften them up a bit, but did nothing to cure me. I decided to try everything I saw here, because if you have them you just want them gone. So, this is what I did and it cured me.

I went to the store and bought raw ACV,hydrogen peroxide(3%), garlic pills,zinc and vit.C. I started taking the pills everyday, and the first night I rubbed the HP and ACV right on the warts with Q-tips. First I used the HP, right away it turned the warts white, then black. After that I rubbed the ACV on them and it burned! Then they bled. After this I put salve on them and left them alone.

I repeated this for about a week before they all fell off. I continued to use the ACV for about another week, and then just salve until the sores were healed. I also continued to take the garlic pills for about 2-3 more weeks, and the zink and vit.C every couple days.

During this process I also did urine therapy,and coconut oil which I believe also helped in the healing. Well this is what I did and it cured me of my warts. Its been almost a year and those warts are still gone. I do have a few small ones popping up, but now I know how to deal with them. I hope this has been helpful to you.

So about a month ago I had a pap smear and it came back abnormal. I have never had an abnormal pap in my life and have two healthy children and have been married for 7 yrs. The Doc told me i had HPV naturally I yelled at my husband and acussed him of cheating. he swears he has been faithful i believe him. The doctor told me that hpv can lay dormint for years and usually stress will bring out the virus. I just had surgery and have been under a lot of financial stress. Any ways, I looked in the mirror and to my horror I saw the most disgusting things growing out of my va-ja-ja. I instantly got on the internet and looked at picture after picture. My growths dont look like the ones on the internet so then i found the vinagar test. I know that this dosent always work but i had to know (since the doc never told me he saw these finger looking things). They turned a little white, so I still wasnt convinced i had them but knew something wasnt right. Finally I found the ACV treatment and was convinced this is what i have. I am on day two of the treatment. I can only leave the cotton ball on for an hour tops but i have noticed the gw that i didnt know i had are coming off! However, my poor wings r very raw and swollen. I apply vitamin E oil to sooth. I also have started douching with dilluted acv since im sure they are on my cervix too and they are on the inside of my vagina.
I just want to thank everyone for sucking it up and posting their story, this is very humilliating and depressing and Im just glade there are others willing to share their story. I will keep an update in a couple of days. My advice for people like me is to not place blame on yourself or your partner. HPV is highly contagouse you can get it from sharing a towel, using the tanning beds. Dont give up hope there is help out there.

Hello all. This is a follow up to my original post on 10/20/08. ACV for GW's DOES WORK. I've had 5 GW's on my penis' shaft and scrotum; all are gone now. Hopefully they'll stay away too with my recent return to a healthy lifestyle of eating well and exercising. Though, I do have one HUGE piece of advice to all that are interested...

Each area that can have an outbreak of GW's is different. Some are very sensitive while others may be less so.

I STRONGLY recommend giving your skin a 24 break between treatments with ACV. Don't worry, It will still work. It will just help to prevent any scarring. Trust me... I was so eager to get rid of them upon first discovery that I treated 3 days in a row for about 10+ hours each day. Because of this I have a very visible white scar the size of a q-tip swab on my penis' shaft. I traded one temporary problem for a more permanent embarrassing one. It's like I have The Scarlet Letter on my penis now.

I've been putting Vitamin E on it daily and covering with a band-aid. The wound has healed but it is not getting any darker in color. In a few months I'll look into having it surgically removed via a plastic surgeon ($$$), if that's even an option. Whatever the case, I MUST do something to correct this.

Anyway...

I suggest the following regiment:

Day 1: At bed time, soak q-tip swab in ACV and apply to GW. Cover with band-aid. Remove after 8 hours.

Day 2: Let skin rest. Clean with Hydrogen Peroxide after showering.

Day 3: At bed time, soak q-tip swab in ACV and apply to GW. Cover with band-aid. Remove after 8 hours.

Day 4: Let skin rest. Clean with Hydrogen Peroxide after showering.

Day 5: Examine GW's.

If they are black or have begun to scab, immediately begin application of Vitamin E. Continue to apply Vitamin E for several days until GW is gone and skin is healed.

If GW is not black or scabbing, continue with ACV treatment as described in Day 1. Continue this treat/rest/examine cycle until GW is black or scabbing, then apply Vitamin as described above.

Hope this help. Best of luck.
