Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

OMG!!! I practice medicine and I have to say that the Apple Cider Vinegar actually works!!! I have been in a relationship for 2 years and was recently diagnosed with HPV/anal condyloma (warts). So, my primary care and my derm put me on Aldara and used liquid nitrogen to freeze them. After reading all the side effects and length of time it would take the Aldara to work I thought of looking into some home remedy and found Earth Clinic's website (THANKFULLY!) I bought some ACV and used regular toilet paper and applied it for 45 minutes. I couldn't believe my eyes! All the areas with the HPV (not only the warts themselves) turned whitish. So bascially it was treating areas that I would never have known to be infected. So that night, as many recommended by people who've posted, I slept with cotton balls soaked with ACV. The next morning I could already see a difference. The areas that were whitish were now greyish and in some areas black. I repeated the process again that night and though kinda sore (it does sting a little at first for sure), I kept it on over night. By the 2nd day the warts DISAPPEARED and some areas that had turned blackish were a little excoriated. So, I have been using neosporin and Vit. E gel to alleviate any possible irritation. It has been about a week and the area is almost totally healed. DEFINITELY give this a try!!!!

I first discovered a wart in the first week of September which was rather small. I assumed it was an 'aftershave' bump and squeezed it a few weeks later. It came back & eventually I self diagnosed myself w/ GW. I still went to the doc who gave me the options & I chose to have it frozen off to get rid right then & there. I was prescribed bactroban to help the healing, but to my disappointment another wart appeared a few weeks later. I then tried ACV and after 3 days the small wart was gone. But sadly enough another two weeks later either another small wart appeared on the same one came back that I did ACV on.

I knew it wasn't the first one because a big ugly scar is still there from the surgery. Has this happened to anyone? I know the ACV works but I wonder if I stopped treating it too soon ie. when the wart disappears (I've never seen it drop off like others have) is it safe to stop. The surrounding area seems affected & there's nothing else to treat, but do I still apply ACV treatment? Its now a month later & I just want to make sure this is gone!

I've been reading the posts on this page for the past weeks making sure that this would be the right choice. I'm convinced that it is. Im going to the doctor on friday so i'm not going to mess around down there until afterwards but I was wondering .... is leaving it on all night a good idea ... and second, for anyone of you that have done this, when was the last time you did it? has it been years or only months?

Apple Cider Vinegar absolutely works. I have a small wart on the foreskin of my penis. Since it was on the foreskin that can be wrapped over the head, I decided it may work better if I don't use any tape or Band-Aid. I just took a cotton swab and remove the small amount of cotton from the tip. Then dipped into the ACV. The cotton with ACV was placed on the foreskin near the head. That is where the wart was. Then the foreskin is wrapped over the head keeping the cotton in place. I started at midnight. I had it in place until 9am in the morning. When I check in the morning, it was white and bigger than before. Then I replaced a new cotton containing more ACV. I had this on for another 9 hours until end of work day at 6PM. When I when to take a shower at around 9PM. The wart fell off when I try to clean it before another application.

I am currently applying one last application to ensure the wart is totally destroyed. My first and second application was not painful at all. The last application sting just a little bit. This pain is very light as I don't have high tolerance for pain. The only other thing to mention is that there is a small color change on skin right next to it. It is so small that this not much to worry about. I am sure it will heal in the next few days so I am not going to try to apply anything else to it after my last application.

I really appreciate all the feed and input from people on this site. I read quite a few before take this step. But this turn out so good that I owe it to all you to post my experience hoping that this can help others.

wow a lot of you guys have found awsome results. i just have a couple questions. 1) how long should i apply the acv. i am thinking 30min then wash it off and repeat 3 times a day for about 3 days?

2) the scarring that occurs will it heal back to normal fully if i apply the vitamin e?

3) will drinking acv help prevent future outbreaks taking of course that applying it to the infected areas works first?

I noticed a small bump around the outside of my vagina a few months ago, i was still in the denial about it so left it there thinking it would go away, but it didnt it gotten worse, now im sitting with colliflower bumps around the opening of my vagina, its so embarasing and been reading about acv and tried it about 3 weeks ago together with caster oil, garlic and tea tree oil. on and off, theres a couple of the small ones that turned black and fell off like the following day. But ive also noticed that it has spread to the inside of my vagina.. PLEASE can anyone give me some advice about a few things thats really driving me nuts..

1.how can i treat the warts inside my vagina? without damaging anything!!!the acv sounds abit harsh.
can i use garlic and leave it there over night? has anyone tried this? and how will i know that its gone completly?

2.Does your immune system eventually clear the virus?

3.should i just persist even though its burning the living S... out of me, cause i dont see much difference in the rest of the warts and ive been using the agv over night like once a week

4.im just confused what am i doing wrong??
hope anyone can shed some light on this as this is emotionally draining me.Im aslo scared that i might getter cancer from this as i did not go to the docter, im waiting for the warts to go away before i will go for a pap smear.

Apple Cider Vinegar for genital warts

YES! This totally works! I am so excited because I didn't really expect it to work at all, but figured I'd give it a shot anyway. I have been self-conscious about this for a long time and now it's completely gone! I am so pleased!

While most people state their wart was removed within 3 or 4 days, my treatment took 9 days. I think this is because I'd had the wart for a long time (6 years) and it was quite large. I did not have the same trouble a lot of people mentioned with this treatment. It was really easy and totally convenient for me. I never developed any raw skin as a result of the treatment. I did have a little burning after the first few days, but only for 10-15 minutes and it wasn't bad AT ALL!

Here's what I did- at night I'd apply VITAMIN E OIL to the area surrounding the wart using a q-tip. I tried to be careful not to get any on the wart. I think this is why I did not experience any discomfort during the treatment. Then I'd apply a very small (just large enough to cover the wart) ball of cotton that was soaked in Apple Cider Vinegar. Then I'd cover it with a bandaid. In the morning I'd shower and apply the vitamin E oil again to the surrounding skin.

My wart did not just simply fall off, but I'd see discolored pieces of it and knew they were ready to come off. So I'd pick at it really gently and the pieces would come right off. After doing this for over a week, the wart finally became so small it eventually rolled right off of my skin when I pushed it with my finger.

I hope this helps! If you're anything like me, you're thinking this treatment might not work for you but TRY IT! It really works! And if you think you might experience skin discomfort, try vitamin E oil with your treatment!

ok everyone... i sucked it up and put a tampon with acv in my vagina...omg!!!!! i didnt think there were any in there.. couldnt see one... my entire vagina was infected!!!! its all white after two days.. take tylenol and advil this is a doozy!!!! will hurt like crazy.... but warts are turning black after two days of use... today will try again... just do overnight girls.. put a and d or vitamin e on everything during the day.. i am drinking aloe vera pure juice 3 times a day 4 oz.... taking a shot of acv at night before bed... i think this is it... the aloe ive been drinking for over a week for detox.. just started acv drinking last night... it is bringing everything out.. all at once.. get ready but seems like its is working out great so far!!!! thanks for all the info everyone on here...

I heard about using apple cider vinegar to remove genital warts, and after trying to have them frozen off numerous times with little success, I figured I would go ahead and try it. I applied it to a cotton ball and taped it to my penis. It seemed to work great, except I couldn't find a clear direction on how long to apply it for. Unfortunately, I kept it on too long overnight damaging all of the skin on my penis which caused scabbing for a very long time. Even worse, these scabs have fallen off and left me with a giant patches of scarred skin on my penis that is much lighter in color than the surrounding flesh.

This cure did work to remove the warts, but I replaced them with scars that are even uglier!! Does anybody have any advice on healing these scars? The only cures I can find are directed at lightening dark scars, whereas my scar is very light color and the surrounding skin is much darker. I need to get rid of these!! :(

I was cursed with hpv after 7 months of a relationship not knowing what the hell to do. I went to the gyno & got them frozen off and it was the worst experience of my life, so I was really hesitant to go back when they re-appeared. I saw this website and got some ACV and Tee Tree Oil. I taped a little peice of cottonball damp with ACV over all of them. The pain gets worse as it gets better but it's not nearly as bad as the pain of the gyno freezing them off. To make the stinging subside I'd put some Tea Tree Oil on a Q-Tip & apply it, it also helps any scarring. To my surprise in the past week and a half I've gone from about 10-15 warts to 1 without one trip to the horrifying gyno. I am SO happy that I found this site and that other people could give me their input. 2 more days I won't have to worry about these nasty things anymore. If you're skeptical, try it! It seriously works.

Eight days ago I suspected I may have GW's. I'm currently unemployed and have no insurance but decided this was a huge deal so I decided to pay out of pocket to see my doctor; $150. Ouch!

He's a nice guy, he gave me a free one-month supply of Aldara (the rest I would need to buy at the pharmacy $$$), told me to apply it 3 nights a week at bedtime, not to have sex for 3-6 months and most importantly, "You're gonna be ok."

Normally, I'm a confident, athletic, yet easy going, 31 year old male. Even with my customary attitudes and the Doc's re-assurance, I was depressed... 3-6 months?!? I couldn't barely stand to look at these 3 GW's on my penis' shaft for another 3 minutes! So, I walked home dejected, disappointed and depressed.

I couldn't just sit and wait so I started surfing the internet until I came to the cdc website. It states that in 90% of cases the virus will be suppressed in 1-2 years. This made me feel slightly better.

Then I came to earthclinic.com. I was happily surprised and further comforted when I read each and every entry for GW remedies... Thank you to every one of you for sharing. Whenever I start to feel upset about this virus, I re-read All of the entries again. Since I don't feel comfortable talking about this with any friends or family, re-reading helps my mood knowing that I'm not alone.

My regiment: I cut a bad-aid in-half, the long way so to make it narrower. Then pulled a q-tip ball off the stick, trimmed with scissors and dipped it in ACV.

Then placed the ACV soaked q-tip ball on GW and covered with the thin cut band-aid. I covered each GW this way and did this for 3 consecutive nights before bed.

Now it is day 4. One GW has scabbed up and looks like it'll fall off in a day or so (promising). One has turned red with a small black dot in the center (not sure what to think of this one). And the last one is a deep purple along with all the surrounding skin (not good, think I've damaged the skin. I hope it doesn't scar).

For the rest of the day today, before bed tonight and Day 5 I'll be piercing a vitamin E capsule and spreading liquid center on GW's in hopes of healing skin.

I've also been cleaning with hydrogen-peroxide after showering.

A few questions:

1. Has anyone had their wives / girlfriends get the female only approved vaccination? Will this prevent future significant others from getting this annoying virus and GW's?

I'd be very disappointed in myself if I knowingly gave this to a future girlfriend / wife.

2. How do you know when/if it's ever safe to have sex with long term partner without a condom?

All my doctor did was give me a bandage wrapped in white vinegar and look for white spots.

3. Has anyone spoken to a sexual health counselor?

4. Any other recommendations as far as my current regiment?

5. What are some success stories concerning longest time without any recurrence. I read one writer say 8 years.

I'm thankful to earthclinic.com and everyone who has shared their experiences and encouragement. I will post again in a few days and am hopeful that I can add to the groups success stories.

I have been diagnosed with HPV. I went to the dr and got my anual check up and he told me i had an abnormal pap, and that i have HPV. I am reading all these remedies using ACV, and topical treatments, but do not have an outbreak. Is there any treatment to cure HPV orally, like to kill the bacteria inside, and how long do you have to do it?

Well, after being diagnosed with GW last week I was referred to a gyno and it was an awful experience. The guy treated me like crap and I felt like I was the only one in the world with this problem. He told me that the only way to get rid of them would be to have surgery - burn them off - even having to put me to sleep!!! After crying all the way home from the doctor I got on here and read everyone's amazing stories about the home remedies. I am so thankful to first, find out that there are other people feeling as desperate and awful as I do, but also to learn that there are cures that won't cost me a million dollars as well as my sanity/ego.

Last night I ran to the store to get a plethora of supplies. ACV, Hydrogen Peroxide, Cottonballs, tape, vitamin E, garlic capsuls, A&D ointment - I'm sure I looked like I was doing an experiment!! I came home and bathed in warm water for about 15-20 mins. Got out, dried the area, cleansed it with HP and then applied cotton balls with ACV on it and WHOA kinda burned!! At first it was okay and it progressively got a little more uncomfortable. I got used to it and could not even believe what I saw when I removed the cotton --- all my GW were bright WHITE even one of the larger ones had turned grey!!! I couldn't believe this. I knew it was working. I only had left it on for about an hour and this is what I saw. I didn't want to leave it over night because I thought that might be too much at first. I'm glad I didn't. This morning I woke up and owie!! My vaginal opening (where I had one larger one) is soo sore and swollen. It really hurt. I took another bath and then after getting out tried to do more ACV and NO WAY!!! I did it on a few of them, including one silly one near my bum and another one up above my clitoris. These were okay for a while, but my vag couldn't handle it! Poor thing! So I took Laura from NC's advice and I'm trying the Vitamin E - I took capsuls and pierced them and took the get and rubbed it all over my labia and inside my vag. It feels so much better.

So that's where I'm at!!!

Anyone have any advice about applying ACV again tonight? Should I try it? If it burns like crazy - like I feel like I'm going to cry, should I still do it??? I do have a high pain threshhold, so it is BAD!! LET ME KNOW!!!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!! ESPECIALLY EARTH CLINIC!!!

I started the ACV Friday night, I slept with it on from 1 am until 10 am the next morning when I got up. I then took a shower and re-applied from 1 pm to 4 pm. Took a shower and went out for the evening. When I got home Sunday, I wasn't able to put any ACV on because I felt raw where I had been applying it. I have not noticed a change in the few warts I have. I have pulled a couple out with tweezers, but the rest aren't large enough to grasp. So, should I re-apply the AVC tonight? I was afraid to apply any on Monday due to the rawness and a semi-constant burning I had.

HPV and ACV : I have 2 days now been applying ACV and not seeing much difference, turned black on the first day of using and a layer came off but only on one wart, all the rest do seem bloated so hopefully will see a difference soon, thanks to all who post here and give advice, really does help when you think you're the only one with this ailment !
