Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

It works, but might not be an end-all solution...

Bottom line is that it works. Follow the directions outlined in the other posts and you'll have great affect on your warts. That being said, the ACV doesn't kill the virus itself, so new warts may appear as you are treating. I've been using the ACV method for close to a month now, and have believe I have killed the majority of my warts, though several are still lingering. I was diagnosed initially in Feb 2018, received 3 cryo treatments from my derm about 3 weeks apart from each other, but decided to take matters into my own hands after new warts appeared on the shaft of my penis after the third cryo treatment. I treated those, but during ACV treatment more appeared. It's been a bit of a wack-a-mole experience, but at least I know how to kill them. Nights 7 and 8 of treatment were the most painful, but that means it's working. Like everyone else said, it's highly gratifying when you wipe the head off a wart with a cotton ball and hydrogen peroxide after a shower. I'm praying that one day soon they will all disappear for good and I can start to return to a normal life.. Good luck to all!

First of all thank you for all of you who provided awesome feedback on this site, it really is a lifesaver!

Last month I noticed a couple of skin tag on my penis shaft, and they would not go away. They are really tiny like less than 1mm and almost unnoticeable if penis is not erect. A quick web search and I started using vinegar to test it. A couple turned quite white and I had to accept the fact that I have genital warts.

Psychologically it was very tough, especially the first couple of days where I would search for remedies the whole day and had trouble falling asleep at night. Even if I do fell asleep I would wake up in the middle of the night. So when I eventually come across this site, I decided to give it a try no matter what.

My setup is ACV (Heinz), bandaids, tissue paper, hydrogen peroxide and medical tape.

For the ACV I diluted it into 3 parts ACV:1 part water. Some of you went for 1:1 dilution and I thought that might be too mild. I folded up pieces of tissue paper, soak it up with the diluted ACV, slap it on the warts and use a bandaid to hold it it place.

The piece of tissue paper I used was larger than the absorption pad of the bandaid so I used medical tape to make sure that the ACV tissue is tightly in place. I did this for 3-4 days around the clock, replacing the ACV tissue every 8 hours or so (3 times a day). Like many suggests, I used a bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide to wash my genital area each time.

By the second day the wart turned grayish white, and a whole bunch (around 15-20) of what I assumed is warts under the skin revealed themselves and became dark red.

The third day was the hardest, it would sting but all in all it was tolerable. I had plantar warts on my foot when I was small and they were removed with the freezing method. The ACV pain is nothing compared to that pain.

I stopped applying the ACV tissue when the skin began to scab up. The scabs fell off after 1-2 days.

I can't say the warts have definitely gone because the skin down there is a bit rough after the treatment. I couldn't really distinguish between dried up skin or a wart at this time. Anyway, I can say the ACV method did work and if the warts come back I would not hesitate to do another round of treatment.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

Definitely worked! My friend told me about using ACV for her skin cancer so I did a google search and found this. I used bandaids and a cotton ball soaked in ACV. I tried to keep on for as long as possible but most only stayed on for 1-2 days. I would replace it with a clean one. If my skin got too raw I took a break. After about 2 months all 12 warts are gone! Just unbelievable. I had tried tea tree before and it did nothing for me. ACV worked quickly.

Using ACV hurts like a SOB but don't be a pussy and don't dilute the AVC. Go beast mode and slap that vinegar on there with a bandaid. Do this once in the morning 30 min after your shower, then again in the night 30 min after you shower. Do this for 2-3 days! The warts will first turn white, then black. Once they turn black, apply castor oil for recovery. You will heal up good as new in a matter of a couple of days. Good luck.

LADIES LADIES!

I swear this ACV works miracles for genital warts. I discovered what I thought might be a wart inside my labia about 14 days ago. About a week ago I took another look and there was MULTIPLE! I would have never known if I didn't inspect because there was absolutely no pain/discomfort. Immediately I called for an appointment with my gynaecologist but could only get a rendez vous in 5 days and I didnt feel it was urgent enough to go to the ER and wait hours on end to see someone who doesn't specialize in this.

I did some research about GW and landed on this site, I figured I would be proactive and give the ACV a try before I met with my Dr. I used the apple cider vinegar Bragg with mother (natural & raw). I am not a person who believes in healing with "natural medication" but I figured it wouldnt hurt to try since there was so much positive feedback on this method. I immediately began treatment. I used gauze because thats what I had on hand at home, I soaked it in the ACV and applied it to the affected warts inside the labia; which as we know is very sensitive for us females. I only applied it for approximately 20 minutes the first night.

I then repeated this method for the next 2 nights. It becomes more and more painful because the skin becomes raw(especially on the inside of the labia) there is no need to push yourself for too long if your really in pain. The tissue that wasnt affected by the warts was starting to peel and become very painful so I then changed my approach for application.

I used a Q-tip and held it down directly on the warts that I could visibly see which there was only 3 small ones left. (Just a couple minutes at a time, whatever I could tolerate pain wise)

After doing this method for 2 nights again everything had disappeared! The skin inside my vagina was still very raw and healing but there was no warts left.

It was then time to see my Dr... I still wanted to be consulted incase there was something I couldnt see higher up.
I explained my situation and the measures I took to treat the bumps (which I believed were warts). He examined me and said that he could not see any warts and it was possible that my ACV treated them before he got a chance to diagnose them as warts.
So Ladies and Gents, I highly suggest you try this method before turning to prescribed medication as it is a natural alternative!!!

And I do have the following questions...

1. Anybody try this method before and never see the warts reappear? (Hoping for this outcome)

2. If I am manipulating the warts in order to apply the ACV is there a chance I can transmit the warts to different parts of the vagina that have not been affected?

Thank you
Best of luck to you all!!!!
Yay for ACV

Hello Girls,

I believe I contracted the GW, I have a doctors appointment in 2 days but I am sure it is Gw.

Ive been proactive and already started the apple cider vinegar and it has already extremely reduced the warts... I was wondering what do you ladies do when the warts are on the inside of the labia, how do you "tape" down the cotton to stay in place? Or do you just dab the Apple Cider Vinegar on the area and let it do its job?(which is what ive been doing)

Thank you,

a newbie to this unfortunate thing...

Hello everyone! Back in February I noticed what I thought to be three little white pimples in my anus, at first I didn't pay attention to it and thought it would go away but they didn't. They didn't hurt or anything that's why at first I didn't wanna have them checked. It is just that sometimes I can "feel" them when I walk a lot or at least that's my perception maybe it's all mental haha. I'm currently living in Germany and I'm insured here so at the beginning of April I decided to go to the doctor just in case and use my German insurance.

And yeah, I was diagnosed with condyloma acuminatum, they told me they're not dangerous but contagious and that I needed to be referred to a clinic so that they could take a better look at it and give me a treatment (possibly surgery) I am not afraid of it because they are in the perianal area so I guess that if I end up being operated it won't be bad but as soon as I found out what exactly they were I started looking for home remedies and that's how I found this site. I just started applying the ACV and am pretty confident the warts will fall off. I just have a few questions.

How much ACV exactly should I be using? what do you guys mean when you say you've diluted 1:1 water and vinegar?

Also, does having condylomas automatically mean that I have HPV?

I read that in most cases the body is able to eliminate the virus on its own after a year or two and that's why many people never find out they even had the virus!

I'm feeling a bit ashamed cause what is gonna happen to my sex life? It's not like I am having sex every day but you know what I mean. More importantly, will I be able to have kids? I've always wanted to be a dad and now that I know what I have I don't wanna be spreading the virus let alone infect my possible future wife. The worst part is that I've only had sex like 4 times in my life (I know, lame) and every single time I've used protection that's why it makes me feel upset.

The vinegar test will turn anything white, scratches, etc. So it alone is not a good test for genital warts.

I think I have them and they don't turn white. So in all reality we need to go see a doctor, but I'm banking on it clearing on it's own. The ACV didn't work for me, but did leave a nice little scar on my penis

Are you ok with your warts now?

Hello all, I have question.

I am putting 100% ACV (Bragg's w/mother) onto what I think are genital warts. Day 1 and 2 I put it on with cotton ball and bandaid for about 6 hours. Day 3 (today) I only did about 2 hours since the skin around is getting raw. 1 turned white, stayed white and then turned black. It is currently black, but has not fallen off yet as of day 3. The other smaller warts ( or what I think are warts) turned white all 3 days, but they don't stay white, they turn back to flesh color within a couple hour of me removing the cotton ball. they have clearly also never turned black or fallen off. Is it possible these are not warts then? My other thought is that they could be little bumps/scars from shaving my shaft. All of the warts or potential warts are at the bottom of the shaft on 1 particular side of my penis. for a bit I just thought I was a slopping shaver and was cutting myself in the same spot ( I bleed when I shave my face too). but something made me do the vinegar test and they did turn white. Thanks for any thoughts!

Hi there, I hope this helps. My daughter when she was about ten had warts in the back of her left middle finger. We tried everything, even freezing them (there were two) nothing worked. Until one day I told her to talk to them and tell them she didn't want them or needed them. Few days later they were gone, and have never reappeared. Weird, right! But it worked for her. It costs nothing to try. Thanks

I 've had warts on my anus for about 2 months now. I've done 3 cryo sessions, tried Warticon, tea tree oil, aloe vera, coconut oil, nothing! They turn my warts white and the ones I have seem to go away but after a few days new ones show up. I'm desperate I don't know what to do. Isn't 2 months more than enough time for the warts to clear up? I didn't expect them to keep coming back and I'm kind of depressed about it now.

So today I tried ACV for the first time. I was scared at first cause everyone says it hurts a lot and from my experience with Warticon I didn't wanna go through this again. But I don't know what else to do. I will update soon with my results.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am sorry to hear about your lip warts. There was a study at the University of Texas in 2014 that showed that AHCC, a mushroom extract that helps improve your immunity, may be promising as a treatment for HPV and genital warts. The recommendation is to take this supplement at a dose of 3000 mg daily for at least 6 months. I have heard of people taking 3500 or 4500 mg daily for HPV in general. I have been doing this for 6 months and I have not had any new genital warts. The plantar warts (also from a strain of HPV) on my feet disappeared about 1 month after I started this treatment. AHCC is costly (about $110-$150 for two bottles which might last a month at a dose of 3000 mg daily). Some people take AHCC by mouth and use ACV as a topical treatment, and their warts do not return. Hope this helps somewhat.

Carol—- I had a similar experience with oil pulling. I know it has been a while and this is a long shot— but how are you doing now?

I'm on my 3 day of applying acv. So they would turn ashy and black and then I was able to wipe some of the stuff away but now there are craters that are lighter in color but there's still a lot of dark skin surrounding the craters. It looks super gross now, and it's a lot more painful to apply The acv. It's stings a whole lot more and it started with a tiny wart which now seems to have uncovered a huge wart. I hope it's working.. and heals soon.

If they have a dimple in the middle, it might be molluscum contagiosum.

Please I would like to know if any one has had lip warts ..or recovered from lip warts ..Its been 3months since I kissed this dude and tiny rashes came on the edges of my lips and also the sides. I am so scared. I have had genital warts before and I removed with vinegar, tried doing the same on my lips but the lips are very sensitive ..easily gets sore with the vinegar. NO IT IS NOT HERPES! Please I am open to any ideas to remove this . The tiny rashes arent noticeable except I stretch my lips really hard

Apple Cider Vinger works for GW

I swear I never do reviews on anything. But because this work so well for me I thought I'd make a post telling people this actually works. I did how most people on here tell you to do and it work . Yes I harm some healthy skin in the process but it was worth it in the end. Yes it will sting and burn sometimes but its so much better than having those things on your penis. Just do as most people on here say and I swear to you it will work.

Gw ( Penis) I use tea tree oil and ACV and it went away now few days back I smoked and I realised its coming back.. and I now its come little bigger and started to bleed.. I used ACV and tea tree oil now its become like u said big and white.. wtf to do I am panicking..

Hi Ms. #Worried from Philippines! Would you mind sharing with me the update of your healing with GW? Thank you

Acv is great. Painful but it bursts them, they bleed and then they disappear. Change your diet, veggies in blender, fruits also. No sugar, cakes, junk, also use organo oil on your back

Hi, just wanted to check if you were still clear of genital warts, and if your doing any maintenance to keep it away? Any suggestions or feedback on your progress would be appreciated..

Have you had any luck? I am using the ACV currently. It took a good two days to see any change. I soaked a makeup pad the first night and attempted to sleep with it. But had the urge to pee. So took it out, put another in. During the next day I dosed the area again a few times. Insuring I also cleansed with peroxide or alcohol afterward. The second night I slept with it on the areas. It burned badly for a while, but by morning it had subsided. I got up and removed the pads from the area. And grayish/Black nubs came off when I wiped. Which I've heard this is a good sign. I cleansed with peroxide and dried the area. I am leaving the area for now to dry out and give it a break. After I shower I will cleanse with peroxide again and apply aloe. As the area is very tender and sore currently. But I will continue the treatment. Someone said the blackish stuff is not a good sign. And it will spread all over the body.. is this true? As no one on this site has mentioned any effects like this. I've also being taking multi vitemans, high folic acid, zinc, etc. apparently after researching these can help with fighting from the inside out. However, I have been drinking ACV in water for about a month and just noticed this breakout. So as I do believe it helps things by drinking it. Not sure it completely combats it. That being said, I could have had the outbreak not knowingly. Therefore, having to treat the outside in order to rid the nasty buggers. So ashamed. Even though the research states, HPV is highly contegious and can be transmitted by any skin contact. Not just sexual. I will continue the treatment. I hope it works for everyone. Feedback is very important.

Jerryonly (California) Your story meant so much to you you don't even know!

I just noticed lesions on the inner labia in the last two days. I hadn't any symptoms, no itch or anything. Just happen to touch down there and things didn't feel normal. I started the AVC treatment last night. It is slightly uncomfortable, biting senstation. The lesions turned white, but after taking the ACV off, they went back to the normal color. Is this normal? Also, wondering about the other persons post, starting it didn't work for her. Is is possible she didn't try the treatment long enough. I really hope this works for me. I am super embarrassed. I haven't seen a doctor yet. Trying to rid them in my own. Can anyone give any other advice?

For the antibiotic cream did u just use neosporin? Also, do you think something like aquaphor would be fine?

I seriously can't believe this worked. I noticed a small bump on my labia sometime last year, but like the majority of people, hoped for the best and forgot about it. Recently I have been feeling more and more discomfort down there as far as slight itching at times, and noticeably more textured skin as the months went on. I finally had to admit that it was GW.

I started with Tea Tree Oil, after reading about a girl on reddit who cleared everything up in a month with no pain, just using tea tree oil. Well, that girl was a liar. Or very lucky. If anything I think they got worse during the month or so I tried TT oil.

So then I'm getting real frantic; my health insurance doesn't kick in until May, plus I've heard there isn't that much Doctors and their Prescriptions can do for this situation, and that the medicine isn't that effective.

But I found this thread a week ago, and I can honestly say my GW have improved at least 75%. This time next week I think it will be like they were never there at all.

My experience with ACV wasn't exactly the same as everyone else's it seems, so I'll detail what I did, so people know tgere are many ways you can make this stuff work for you.

First day I made the mistake of using cheap stuff without the “mother, " but I slept with it on overnight anyway. The first night is the easiest. You'll wake up wondering why everyone said it hurts so bad, only to find out why on your next application of ACV...

Day 2-4 I didn't sleep with it overnight; instead I did a couple of 3-4 hour sessions throughout the day and let my skin breathe and heal overnight, applying a small amount of coconut oil and sticking some tissue between the labia to help keep things dry. (Moisture is the enemy) By day 3 I also had to start diluting the ACV 1:1 because everything was SO sensitive, but it works almost equally as well.

At this stage everything is going to look red and inflamed, except the warts, which will be white, then slightly Grey-ish.

Day 5-6 and everything seems to be clearing up! I didn't experience as much of things turning black and scabbing off, but most of mine were the “flat" warts, so they basically turned white/Grey, and then the skin started to kind of slough off, almost like a peeling sunburn, revealing little dark pink spots of new skin. A tiny bit of bleeding, but nothing too bad.

My only other suggestion, as with most of these other posters, is to get a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and use it to wash your junk frequently. I use it before and after an ACV treatment, and after every trip to the bathroom.

Good luck y'all!

What am I doing wrong?

Hello. I was diagnosed with hpv 9 years ago I never had a single symptom, found out during a pap exam when I got pregnant. Since that initial positive test I have gotten tested every year and it had come back clean. Now 3 weeks ago I noticed what myself and my obgyn thought for almost 15 years was a freckle on inside edge of my outer labia get larger to the point where it looks like a skin tag. I freaked our and got to my doctor the next day. She took a look at it and said the thought it was nothing. She did the vinegar test just to make sure. There was no color change at all. She said she thinks this is just a skin tag or something of the like and we'll keep an eye on it. While I was relieved I was still quite self conscious about it. I had read that ACV can remove both skin tags and warts so I figured give it a go. First few days I took a cotton pad and placed it on the skin tag for 10 minutes. No change. Did that once a day for 3 days straight. Nothhing. So I decided maybe just a q-tip dipped in Apple Cider Vinegar and placed directly on the spot in question would work better. Nope. Nothing. And again I tried this for a few day this time 10 minutes twice a day. So I decided to give it one last go. I soaked a few cotton pads and placed them directly on my vagina unfortunately this method affects both left and righr sides of my inner labia. Just finished day 3 of this and it's safe to day I have acid burns on my inner labia. The skin is white and irritated But the freckle/skin tag/wart remains unchanged. I am at a loss. Is there a better method for applying the ACV to this area than I am able to figure out?

Does anyone know about using ACV for internal anal warts? I tried a 50/50 dilution but it was unbearably painful. At 25/75 now. I can leave that in for quite a while. Just worried it will no longer be effective at such a dilution. Anybody have advice on this?

Thank you all for sharing your ecperiences.

I recently had a growth of GW and within a week of ACV the visible cauliflower shaped GW, turned white, then black and just left the skin.

However the spots where the warts were are slightly grey and I am wondering if I need to be continuing the treatment? Its definitely the same skin colour as the rest of my genitals.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

V

I put it on for two days and the suspected wart never turned white, or black. But the skin around turned black and left a nasty scar. 2 days....It was on my shaft, on the circumcicion line.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I soaked a small piece of cotton and taped it up. All the skin went grey, like it was soggy from being wet. Then it went black like a chemical burn and then left a big pink scar. And the little bump that I think is a wart is still there.

Do warts always turn white with vinegar? I've tried a few time with a soaking paper towel and it never does. Is it possible I'm just crazy!?

I don't want to keep burning my penis if I don't have to.

Does this work on your testicles?

After trying this remedy I HAD to write a review.

I went to the doctor and they told me I had HPV (I was super upset) and had a few warts on the shaft of my penis. They were not big but had surfaced and were scattered.

After hearing I could get them burned off or spend and arm and a leg on cream I thought I'd do some research.. As you know - I found this site.

I simply used store bought Apple Cider Vinegar, Gauze, Hydrogen Peroxide, and Antibiotic Ointment. I soaked the gauze in apple cider vinegar and wrapped the shaft of my penis. I then taped it and went to bed. I will warn you this will HURT like an SOB but man up and truck through it. In the morning take a shower and then apply the Hydrogen Peroxide and antibiotic ointment.

After one night I couldn't believe how many surfaced that weren't there the day before.. The warts went white in colour (Don't be alarmed) continue this process! (When I had spare time at home I would apply during the day and rock some video games lol). Again, apply and go to bed at night and repeat. You will start to notice that the warts turn black (Don't be alarmed this is good). For safe measure I did this for nearly 2 weeks and my junk looked like a war zone BUT after a few days of antibiotic ointment is takes no time to heal.

I was also reading reviews stating to add some Apple Cider Vinegar to some water and drink daily. I was doing this while working out and building my immunity to kick the virus.

I can confidently say EVERYTHING is cleared and I'm thoroughly impressed by this remedy. I HIGHLY recommend this but I'm warning you it will hurt ALOT.

Good luck to my brothers experiencing similar symptoms. This WILL work.

In the future wrap your tool fellas!

Hi everyone,

I am so excited to report that this works! I had a cluster of warts at the opening of my vagina which I initially didn't think much of as they were small and didn't feel like anything. However, after 3 months, they did not go away and after conducting research, I was dismayed to find they were warts! Doc confirmed it a week later and said to wait them out because they were in such a sensitive area. So I waited. And waited. And they did. not. go. away!

Fast forward to last month and I was checking things out with a mirror and found there were six or more of the little fuckers on my anus. I was devastated and immediately set out to do some research to get rid of the fuckers, which is how I found this site. I was scared at first because a lot of people mentioned pain and it really does hurt, I will not lie to you. My warts turned kinda white and then after a few days the black scabs fell off and after about 5 days, all but one small wart have cleared up.

I won't detail the procedure here as most people have described it (cotton balls/makeup pads, vinegar, healing oil -- Soak, clean, oil, repeat). The one thing I did differently that really worked for me was diluting the vinegar to 1:1 water and vinegar. I did straight vinegar and I had to stop after day three. Diluting it is much less painful, burns less healthy skin, and you can stand more frequent applications. It is also important that you wash your skin when any of them fall off to prevent further spreading.

The other thing I will advise is patience! Depending on the number, size, and severity of warts, you may have to do the soaking for longer, so just hang in there and keep it up.

I am so thankfull to have found this site. I cured my warts in only 3 days and I had them for about 5 months. ACV realy works magic its incredible.

Here is what I did in hopes that you do the same and get rid of your warts in less then a week!

1) During the night, cover your warts with an ACV cotton ball and secure in place with tape. I used a vinegar which includes « The Mother » that is Biological and unpastherised with 5% acidity. It does burn at first but hang in there, for me I found the pain went away after 15 minutes.

2 ) In the morning, I washed everything and spread around pure vitamine E oil and went to work (28,000 I.U.).

3) During the day, I took the following:

- One glass of water in the morning and one at night with diluted Elderberry Crystals.

- One super strength garlic concentrated garlic softgel odourless pill in the morning and one at night.

- 1000 mg of Vitamine C

- 50 mg of zinc and 800 mcg of Folic Acide

3) Continue this routine until the warts dissapear. After 3 days mine were all gone. The last day I didnt put vitamine E oil to let the area dry out.

I am so releived that they are gone. I will continue applying vitamine E oil for a week just to make sure that they dont reappear.

This method worked like a miracle. I urge you to give it a try. Hopefully it will work magic for you as well.

Thanks so much for mentioning they turn black. That worried me when it happened.

Help me and my poor penis!! I have tried ACV for two days now, the suspected wart has not turned white at all. With two applications, one for 4 hours and one for 1 hour. It does burn but it also has swollen my skin. The skin around turns a little white, but not the wart.

The suspected wart looks like a flap of skin, not your typical round rough cauliflower shape.

It's a single bump when I pull the skin tight, very small. Pin head size, maybe smaller. It's directly on my circumcision line though.

it seems to be burning the skin around but there is no change in the wart.

I have been using small pieces of toilet paper soaked in ACV, and taped down.

Can anyone offer advice!?

Hello, did you use both treeoil and Apple Cider Vinegar together? Or just seperate

I've been doing this for two days using a q tip to Apply. I actually don't feel any burning at all when I apply. There are two locations on my penis and about a month ago I had them treated in the doctor's office. I honestly can't tell if they came back or just left a scar. They are not raised and are on the exact same location. I will try your suggestion but am wondering if these are scars that won't ever go away. But I do know they disappeared at first. Is it common to have them return in the exact same spot?

Okay so I started off by having two warts on my pubic bone areas. I quickly got rid of one with apple cider vinegar. The other one was stubborn but I think I finally got rid of it. Now I'm pretty sure I notice them all in the opening of my vagina. How has everyone successfully gotten rid of those ones? I can't imagine burning them off with apple cider vinegar.

I've been using ACV for about 8 or 9 days now. I did notice that they turned the warts super white at first, then the next couple days it was super nasty yellow, and then it would just slough right off. I'm also a girl that has super tiny FLAT warts right at the opening of my vagina where the skin is super sensitive/moist. Did anyone notice any growths that came back in the same spots after healing? Also, do the warts have a small dark pinpoint in the middle of them?

I had a scar from ACV which caused by excessively applying ACV to my warts on my shaft using cotton bud, but eventually it healed after a couple of days.

Hey, Please help me out I used the ACV last week after the Nurse told me I have GW, they are inside my labias and they are flat. I'm not sure if its GW bcause she did not even run tests for HPV. So guys please now after applying ACV on my labia yess they did go away but seems like new ones are developing now with more pressure some inside, inside the vagina . Please help me out :'(

Two weeks ago I applied Apple cider vinegar to a small wart on my anus. I taped a small piece of cotton wool to the wart for 2 days, changing it every 6 hours or so.

Now I have a an infected scar which is very noticeably a different colour to the surrounding skin. It looks far worse than the wart did.

I went to the doctor yesterday and I am taking antibiotics and applying Timodine cream to the infected scar. Already I can see the infection clearing up.

Has anyone else had a scar from using ACV? Did it eventually fade away? Any advice would be appreciated.

I seriously wish I had never used ACV.

Less than 24hrs.

One bump showed up on my pubic bone maybe two months ago, so a month ago I gave in thinking it was an ingrown hair and silly me picked at it. Three weeks ago two more tiny bumps, two weeks ago maybe six. At this stage I'm thinking this isn't ingrown hairs. Six was still nothing to be dramatically concerned about as I am not sexually active and they were only bumps without the white head.

Then in the last week they have gone into overdrive, they came on with vengeance and started spreading fast, new ones every day.

I read about apple cider vinegar yesterday, so last night I covered two makeup pads and awkwardly tried taping them on with medical tape. It hurt so bad but it has been worth it as this morning I realised that some had turned black.

So, I figure if I'm going to do this, I'm going to hit it hard in this one area and taped more on for work. Tonight, when I removed it there's also little black spots where I had seen nothing noticeable in the skin. This is too good to be true if it clears up.

I'm going to keep leaving them on night and day, using coconut oil between new ACV applications and have a bath with 1-2 cups of ACV / some tea tree oil.

Seriously 24hrs and I'm convinced it's working exactly as everyone has said!
