I have no feedback yet to give as I haven't tried these remedies yet. I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone for posting here. I'm sure you've read all the scary medical talk before you found this site...it was a knife to the heart when I had to tell my soon to be wife what I had genital warts...and it took almost 4 years for these to pop up, so it was a BIG surprise. I felt so alone and frustrated; I can't pay for drugs like Aldera (prescription) every time one of these pops up or returns. I think I'm going to just suck it up with the Apple Cider Vinegar treatment and then change my lifestyle...lots of vitamins, good eating habits, and exercise. While this may seem a bit awkward, it's amazing that something like genital warts is what made me realize that my smoking, non-exercise, and eat whatever lifestyle needed to come to an end. Good luck to you all and you're not alone :)

Genital Warts: (This is long but it is WORTH THE READ. I DETAIL HOW TO MAKE THOSE WARTS DISAPPEAR FOR GOOD!!! Don't waste your money on any gimmicks - this advice is free and it worked for me).

I was a HUGE skeptic when I first decided to try a home remedy for my warts. When I first realized I had warts on the shaft of my penis, I cried with shame. I scoured the internet, did tons of research and panic took over as I sought a way to get rid of this taboo STD. And if you stumbled across this website, I'm pretty sure you've felt the exact same thing I've just described. But ladies and gentlemen, SAVE YOURSELF THE EMBARRASSMENT of having genital warts a part of your medical history. Before you go see a doctor, relax, take a deep breath, and from this moment forward, put yourself in a POSITIVE state of mind because everything is going to be alright. I found this site MONTHS AGO, but I have waited to post until now (three months later) just to be sure this wasn't a fluke.

To begin, everybody's body is made up a little different, but I swear on everything that is holy and dear to me, this worked for me and I feel like a new man. I followed this procedure and by the third day, my warts fell off:

First, start off by taking a nice warm shower. Clean your whole body, and pay special attention to the area with warts. I suggest taking a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in the shower with you so that after you're done soaping up and rinsing, you can poor it directly on the area just to kill off any wart particles that may cause the nastiness to spread. After your shower, dry off. Get some regular sized bandages, some cottonballs, and some Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV). ACV is cheap and any kind will work. Take a bandage and cut a strip of the adhesive part off the bandage. This strip will serve as "tape" to hold the cottonball in place. Then, take a cottonball, rip off a piece that is about the size of the wart, and roll it up nice and tight. Take your little ball of cotton and soak it in ACV. Squeeze it gently so it wont drip, but don't squeeze it so much that the cotton ball is dry. You want to leave some ACV in there so the wart will drink it up.

Next, take the ACV-soaked cottonball piece and put it in the middle of the adhesive strip you cut (on the sticky side). It should stick to the strip. Then carefully, place the cottonball directly over the nasty little wart you want to kill. Gently push the advesive srtip onto your skin, but don't push too hard. Once you've done this, cover that strip with a small bandage to keep in place.

I've read some people report that this stings a bit. It stung a little for me by the second day because ACV might take off a little bit of the good skin around the wart. But TRUST ME, it is worth the sting and after a bit, you should get used to it. If anything, put yourself in the state of mind that "the sting is the wart dying." That will help you to grin and bear it.

Do this in the morning after your shower before you go to work/school/wherever. When you get back home in the evening of the first day, when you take off the bandage and adhesive strip, you should notice the wart to start to turn whitish-grey. Take another shower, and repeat the process of soaping up, soaking in the warm water, and pouring hydrogen peroxide on the wart right before you get out of the shower. Follow the same procedure with the cottonballs, the ACV and the bandage strips and leave it on through the night. When you wake up in the morning, you will notice the wart turning a blackish/dark-grey color. That means its working.

Do this for two more days or until the wart just falls off in the shower. If the skin around the blackish wart turns whitish, that ALSO means it's working.

I think one other person on here has addressed how to take care of your skin AFTER THE WART FALLS OFF. You may notice that when the wart falls off, the skin underneath will be raw. You may see like a little hole in your skin. Thats a good thing, but your REGIMEN DOESN'T END THERE!! Once the wart falls off, if you are in the shower, IMMEDIATELY rinse off the area and pour hydrogen peroxide on the skin. The area will turn white and bubble up (the reaction from the Hydrogen Peroxide killing off the germs). This is a good thing so don't freak out. Then rinse off. You may notice that when you rinse, the raw skin may stay "whitish." That's okay. Thats just the hydrogen peroxide that is in the skin now. When you get out the shower, dab some hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball and hold it on the new skin for few seconds. Then CAREFULLY take a cottonswab and put some antibiotic on it (like an ointment with zinc oxide in it) and dab it on the raw skin. DON'T smear it all over, just dab it right on the raw skin. Cover it with a bandage, and for extra caution, once you are done putting on the bandage, take some hyrdrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol, dab it on a cotton ball, and wipe the area where the bandaid is just to be sure you aint spreading wart germs.

Repeat this for an additional four to five days and the area will heal up like brand new. You will never even know a wart was there. In total, you can be like new in about 2 weeks time.

In addition to this direct method, I have decided to build up my immune system. This not only has prevented new warts, but I swear I haven't gotten sick AT ALL. Im sure that by now, my body/immune system has killed off whatever virus was in my body that caused the warts.

On a daily basis (and I take this with food so I don't ruin my stomach), I take 1000 mg of vitamin c, 1000 i.u. of vitamin E, 25,000 i.u. of vitamin A (as beta carotene), 50 mg of zinc, 500mg of lysine, an Echinacea and Golden Seal complex pill, a One-a-day multivitamin, and Garlic Supplement pills (2 at a time). I spent only 30 dollars buying all these pills at a drug store, and it has been every bit worth it. They have lasted me already almost four months and I feel great. If you read up on these vitamins, ALL of them are known for either boosting the immune system or helping the body kill viruses. They really really work, I swear by them.

For those of you freaking out about your genital warts, TRUST ME you're not freaking out nearly as much as I did. I almost went crazy living with them. But I followed the advice of people who have been through this before me, and I am passing the advice down to you coupled with my own little tricks. It upsets me that there are so many jerks out there that try to charge you for advice to help you get rid of these nasty little things. I learned everything on this posting on my own, and it WORKS.

Also, I would HIGHLY recommend trying this remedy first. Don't waste your money on unnecessary doctor visits and prescription drugs that are probably gonna do you more harm than good. However, don't take this message to mean you should not see your doctor. If there is something wrong with you, by all means go see him. But for a genital wart that you can get rid of on your own? In such a short amount of time? Save your money, save your time, and follow this procedure. You are not alone, and you WILL get rid of them.

Thank you Earth Clinic for this wonderful sight!!

Good luck and God Bless.

When I was with my ex wife, moles appeared on my penis. After we split up, i wanted these moles off of my penis, cuz if i get with someone, and i have moles on my penis, my partner more than likeley would not have sex with me. Probably would have thought that I had some kind of serious STD. I considered surgery, but going under the knife on my penis, I DONT THINK SO!! So I went on a search online, and found this site. But first, I wanted to be sure that these moles were not an STD. So I went to an STD clinic, to ensure I did not contract anything from my Ex. Tests came back negative for the serious ones, and the moles were not part of an STD. They just grew there, I have moles on my neck too, and they just grew there. Apple Cider Vinegar got rid of my moles on my penis. What I did, is I took some cotton balls, waterproof medical tape, Apple cider vinegar, of course. Well, Ill tell you one thing, u DEFINATELY want to shave your pubic hair before you do this!!! Cuz I did not, and the first time i had to remove my bandage, it was like removing duct tape from my penis, and all the hair removed with it. VERY PAINFULL!! But, I figured out a way to do it comfortably, and effective too. What I did to make it comfortable, first, make it to where you penis is half- erected, soak the cotton balls in the apple cider vinegar, apply the soaked APV cotton balls on the moles, then wrap rolled gause around penis, then put your tape around it firmly. (This next step is for circumsised penis, uncircumsised, im not sure what you would do, just be creative.. this next step is to ensure that your cotton balls dont move when the penis returns to normal. ) make sure you take some excess skin, and push it towards the head, while putting the gause, and tape around the penis. then, tape just under the head, where u put that excess skin at, and wrap tape very firmly ( this will make sure that the skin dont retract when the penis returns to normal ) just under the head. Change bandage twice a day. My two moles were gone in 4 days. I only had to do the bandage thing for only 2 days. After the 2nd day, they were black, hard, and sore and on the 4th day, they fell off. This is nothing short of a miracle. Now whenever I want to have sex with someone, I no longer feel embarressed. Thanks Earth Clinic!!! For people that want to email me for questions, use my email address up there, get rid of all the . in the name jsatter, then your @columbus.rr.com I only typed it like that so that spam bots could not send me anything.

I found a wart and was obviosuly mortified. After searching the web, I bought a product called "Warts No More" which did absolutely nothing. It did however make my wallet "Money No More". I then, found this website and tried the Apple Cider Vinegar to remove the genital wart. I cut off the end of a q-tip, soaked it with the ACV, squeezed it so it wasnt dripping but was sure to leave a lot in it and also removed the cotton attached to the band-aid so it wouldn't soak up the remainder. I applied in the AM and PM. First day it turned white and second day it turned grey. Barely any discomfort and on the third day during my shower it just fell off! Now I have a small scab that is healing nicely. Should be all healed in 3-4 more days. I simply can't believe this worked and thanks to all for posting your comments. You saved me!!!

I found 2 little bumps when I shaved. First thought they were ingrown hairs.....but the itched. So I found this site. I tried ACV but I starting getting more bumps..I also took imune boosting vitamins. The ACV did burn a little a few days after using it. I didnt sleep with it though. Just applied 2 times a day. I called my doc and he prescribed condylox. That stuff burned but did get rid of them fast. Made it painful wearing pants to work for days though. I am not sure how often these will break out.

Apple Cider Vinegar is amazing. I've had a stubborn genital wart and,after finding this site, I started dabbing apple cider vinegar on it morning and night for about 2 weeks. Doing it this way produced no results. I came back to this page to re-read the posts and 3 nights ago I snipped off a piece of a cotton ball, soaked it in ACV, and strapped it to my penis with a bandaid, as outlined in other posts. I'm astonished! By morning, it had turned white. By midday it turned purple, like a blood blister. I repeated this for the last 2 nights. The wart is black, dry and hard, and looks like it will fall off, but now the skin around the wart is irritated, very sensitive, and a bit painful and red. So, last night, I used a q-tip and carefully put vaseline around the wart (not on the wart) before I put the bandaid on and it worked to protect the healthy skin from the ACV. I can't believe the results after only three days. I'll post again after it's gone.

after seeing some bumps arise around my genitals i thought they were pimples since i never had genital warts before, but after trying to squeeze the puss out of them and nothin happening i figured out it was something else to after diagnosing myself from research on the internet and photos i figured out i had genital warts. i went to the clinic and they put some iodine looking solution on it that couldnt be on my skin longer than 2 hours and said that it would go away. i washed it off after an 1hr. I figured i had to give the wart some time to go down so i waited for 3 months and nothin happened it didnt even get smaller. by that time i didnt have insurance and the doctor wasnt an option on my budget, i needed something inexpensive that would work. So i began researching natural remedies for removing GW. After reading about ACV i thought it wouldnt work, im not even gonna lie, because theirs so many different medicines out there that are so expense and this one you can buy at the grocery store for a dollar, but i didnt have anything to lose and everything to gain if it worked.so i went i got some apple cider vinegar from my local grocery, went home and i soaked a cotton ball in ACV and taped it to the warts, it burned a little but i had read to expect that so i didnt worry. i could endure the pain if it worked. i went to sleep with the cotton ball taped and in the morning my GWs had shrunk half their size and were turning black. so the next night did the same thing and in the morning i could see the warts dissolving into my skin, i used first aid ointment to heal the skin after the wart came off. and amazingly this process removed the warts in 4-5days. I was so happy the only thing i was mad about was that i didnt find out about this months ago

When I first noticed small bumps around my vagina, I actually thought it might be a couple ingrown hairs, in vain I tried to open one in order to pull the hair out, but in the area where it was it was difficult to tell anything... but as the bumps began to increase in number over the next week, I feared I might have genital warts. Sure enough, soon afterward I noticed three clearly visible warts on the outside lips of my vagina. I was too embarassed to talk to my mom or my friends or even my doctor about it, even though I'm not a promiscuous person, I feared that's what I'd appear to be.. So, after extensive online research for home remedies I decided to try apple cider vinegar as it was something I already had readily available... I only applied it for three days before the warts were nothing more then scabs, that also healed very quickly. All I did was soak a cotton ball in the vinegar and swiped it on every time I used the bathroom, then at night, I applied the cotton ball for at least ten consecutive minutes. I warn you that it can burn, which is not very comfortable, but for me.. the fast results were more then worth it. Especially since I often read that most of the home remedies out there weren't very effective on larger warts.

I found out I had HPV about 3 months ago. Since then, I have been receiving trichloric acid treatments from the dr. and had no results. After doing a little research on my own, I tried using the apple cider vinigar 3 times a day followed by tea tree oil. I have been doing this for about a week now. Some of my warts have dissapeared and the others have started to scab up. It is amazing how well this works. I have asked my dr. so many times, what I can do to speed up this process and she tells me nothing. I wish everyone could now how amazing this stuff works. Good luck to all of you.

I had 3 genital warts that came up out of no where! (I've had the same partner for 5 years) I was totally freaked out. I had used a garlic clove strapped with duck tape when I had a wart on my finger and it worked like a charm in a matter of a few weeks, but I was trying that technique and although it had burned one of the GW off when it was very small it didn't seem to work as it got bigger. And it burned! So I was determined to find a cure! And I found your amazing blessing of a website. I' tried the ACV on a cottonball squeezed between my legs. In two days one of the small one fell off. I noticed a change in the other larger ones instantly. They got smooth and were starting to disentegrate. In 3 weeks they are pretty much gone. I will say that it kind of burned... but it was totally worth it. I only held it between my legs for about 20 minutes every 2 nights with a break in between, I also used tea tree oil which i thought would burn but it was actually very soothing. thank you so much! Now I am experimenting with ACV drinks! I sent your website to all I know.

WOW! I was SO humiliated when I found out, via self-prognosis, that I had genital warts. I immediately started searching for natural, home remedies so I wouldn't have to face a doctor and read about APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. I bought the SUPERMARKET BRAND, despite advice that it's not as effective. BS! It worked like a charm. Did exactly what I read about.. My vaginal warts turned brown in the middle and within 12 hours dissapeared! Miracle. I'm amazed. I have a stubborn wart defying the ACV, but I expected this one to be a pain. However, it has SHRUNK IN SIZE considerably and have hopes it will be gone soon. There was minimal pain and burning and if you use tea tree oil to sooth the healing skin where the warts were, you should be home free. Apple Cider VINEGAR for exertnal care of genital warts! WOW!!!!! NOTE: when ingesting ACV internally, I'd suggest using organic, unpasturized and raw..not supermarket brand. However, when dealing with skin ailments externally, it doesn't seem to make a difference.

THE VINEGAR WORKS !!!! after only 3 days the small ones have turned black and one or two have fallen off. The larger one is flaking wich I take to be a good sign that its peeling itself away. I wrap my penis in gause bandage soaked in ACV - really stings but you grin and bear it because you can see the results.

re: ACV for anal warts. A few months ago I was horrified to find out a huge wart in between my butt cheeks. Soon later two more appeared as well very close to my anus. This intrigued me since I had tested negative for HPV on the year before (I am VERY paranoid about safe sex and such). I couldn't tell anyone about it because I couldn't explain how a guy can get this kind of stuff. So I searched online for natural cures (I'm all against Big Pharma , so a natural solution was a must). I searched online and found about ACV to be used topically, so that night I placed a huge moist cotton ball with ACV against my anus and went to bed. The next day was a bit uncomfortable as things got swollen, but I went on with it for another night. On day 3 I woke up and took a shower, and to my surprise the big one just fell off right on my hand! It was all black and seemed very spongee. But after two nights things were burning a bit, so I waited for everything to go back to normal before proceeding with the treatment.

Results: they were all gone by the 3rd application and haven't returned. Since then I have been using ACV on my face and I no longer have ingrown hair problems or razor burns. I also take it internally, 2tbsp with water and blackstrap molasses (I love it! Beats having a pop). My skin is great, BO is not an issue anymore, and things just seem to be going well. Thank you all for posting your comments and saving me from a very embarrassing visit to the doctor that would result in expensive and ineffective burns/freezes. It's nothing short of a miracle.

I found this site by browsing google when I found I had contacted the HPV viris that caused GW. I started using ACV from the grocery store and within 3 days one of the warts was gone. it was like my skin kicked it out. I i have 3 more to go and I am on week 2. They are the oldest ones. I am guessing strongest to. It has been 9 days since that first one disapeared and it shows no sign of returning. I am going to start taking ACV with water as soon as I can get to the Holistic store. I am also taking 2000 mg of Vit C a day. I know my immune system is week because I spent the last year not eating enough to loose weight. I also us Melaleuca oil (T36-C5) It is great stuff. Hepls with healing icthing and is a great anti bacterial. I have to us it sparingly in the vaginal area because it strips away the good bacteria and caused me to have a miner yeast infection. ~ ill up date soon...
