Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

Like most people have mentioned here, I didn't know that I had HPV or genital warts at first. I do not know when I contracted the virus, since I can't really remember the first time I had a growth or mark in my genital area.

When I first noticed something on my lower stomach towards my genitals, I thought that I had a skin tag or an ingrown hair, because I had recently shaved. As I continued to shave, more appeared, and they were all at the base of my shaft, so I had assumed that I had a bunch of ingrown hairs because I'm relatively hairy, and I was shaving with a basic razor. They were flesh colored and not really raised, and looked just like ingrown hairs to me.

However, several years passed and they were still there. I figured they were no longer ingrown hairs, they were skin tags. But after some time, they began to grow somewhat. So I started researching how to remove skin tags with home remedies. As I searched, I found that they could possibly be warts!

So I did the Apple Cider Vinegar test, and low and behold they turned white, and had somewhat of a cauliflower head. I was devastated, but did my research and realized that it's not something to be afraid of.

I was very skeptical, but this site gave me hope because of all of the positive testimonials. I also found a lot of others on the internet. Long story short, I used the Apple Cider Vinegar for 3 days (I'm on my 4th day now), and just about every wart has dried up, scabbed up, and turned black, and now I'm just waiting to heal.

The very next day they started to loosen up and shed a little, and the very next night one of them scabbed up completely.

There are a few little pesky ones that haven't turned black, but I haven't given them as much treatment as the main ones. I'll be taking care of them as soon as I'm finished typing this.

Here is what you need.

1. Cotton Swabs/Q-Tips

2. Makeup remover cotton swabs. Cotton balls are good, but get the flat cotton rounds because they soak easily and can be cut an manipulated.

3. First aid tape

4. Scissors

4. Apple Cider Vinegar

IMPORTANT! AVOID GETTING ACV ON THE UNAFFECTED SKIN! I made this mistake by putting a whole cotton round on my penis, and burned and scabbed up part of my shaft. Currently healing now.

a. Dip the Q-tip in the ACV and dab all of the affected areas as a prep.

b. Soak the cotton round in apple cider vinegar.

c. Cut off small pieces of the cotton round and cover the affected areas only. Do your best to avoid unaffected skin.

d. Place a piece of first aid tape over the cotton so that the ACV can get to work.

e. Repeat this process every couple of hours, and if you can try to leave it on over night.

f. In between treatments, let your genitals/warts get some air for 30-60 minutes. The air will help them to dry out and scab up.

This treatment totally worked for me and I am so relieved that I can avoid the stress and expenses of going to a doctor to get them removed/treated.

The ACV will burn. It stings like hell! Especially if you get it on the healthy skin. But it is worth it because it works. I'm so happy that this works, and I hope that my penis is wart (and scar) free from now on. I bought some coconut oil to moisturize and help with the tone and texture.

Thank you Earth Clinic members for your feedback and help, and good luck to anyone reading this. I hope it works for you like it worked for me!

From my research I have discovered that males are carriers of this virus on their penis, without any symptoms or visual identifiers. And that the only way to see if anyone (male) is a carrier is to wrap the shaft of the penis with a paper towel soaked with ACV for about 5 mins. When you remove the paper towel you will see white painless patches/blotches under the skin of the penis where the virus is breeding and replicating. I hope this helps.

So like everyone else on here I was skeptical, but after reading so many reviews I was hopeful! And I had already been to the doctor 4 times to have them painted (which is also very effective) however after the last time they were all gone then returned in clusters which upset me terribly I felt like my life was ending and I'd be stuck and embarrassed with these horrible warts for the rest of my life .anyways, I had some apple cider vinegar at the house so I said why not I first took a shower then poured peroxide all over the warts , got out the shower dried off then got about 3 cotton balls and applied apple cider vinegar over all the clusters of warts. Yes it did burn but after having them painted over my god it was 30x better than that. So I left it on over night then took it off that morning and about had a heart attack because the Apple Cider Vinegar makes all the warts show up and looked like twice as many but I still took a shower and poured more peroxide and repeated the process it was very sore the next day and it hurt to apply but I did it. Next day I took them off and took a shower poured the peroxide but did not reapply the Apple Cider Vinegar bc it was too tender I had not looked at this point bc I was afraid but as I wiped after urinating I noticed brown coming off on my tissue and I felt down there it felt really smooth and so I got the mirror and looked, MY GOD FRESH HEALTHY PINK SKIN!!!!!!!!!! After 2 days omg I couldn't believe it . Also I took vitamin a, c, d and a womens one a day during this process idk of that helped but I know you guys are god sent and I just wanted to share for my people out there with the clusters! It can work for those to. Only took two days for me. Thank you guys so much

Here is my story and my procedure if you care to read it.
PS ive never been compelled to write something on a forum before but I feel I must because I felt guilty taking information and not contributing back.

Well, what a bloody nightmare!
One day im watching Tv and i notice some small bumps around the bottom of the shaft of my penis, at first i was under the impression they were moles because i told my girl friend right away and of course she told me not to worry about it. So after about a month of going freaking nuts thinking about it i decided it was time to be a man, bite the bullet, and go see the doctor. So into the room i go drop the pants and the doctor tells me "You got warts", im like WTF you have to be joking me. So naturally i ask how can i cure this, and so non chalantly he proceeds to tell me that there IS NO CURE and passed me a double sided black and white print out about HPV and GW's printed in 1995, yes 14 years ago, thats their up to date information they hand diagnosed patients....

So this is where everything completely fell apart for me. I told my girlfriend i had seen the doctor and what he told me, he really emphasized how i could end up killing my girlfriend with this condition, pretty well the doctor made me feel like a complete scum bag and made me want to die . My girlfriend was understand at the start.

2 Months go by

I lose my job, my good friend commites suicide/ hand full of other people die, my father goes to jail, im about to move into my girlfriends house but she decides to leave me for someone else right before i do. I am completely utterly alone. I spent along time considering suicide and i know its not the answer but sometimes the mind can only take so many consecutive blows and i felt so dirty and ashamed of myself, there was NO ONE i could talk too i felt so damn hopeless. I spent along time hating the world and despised this girl who gave hpv to me then left as soon as the gig was up, I knew i had done bad things in the past but the last 4 years i have become a new person but now it seems i was paying for everything ten fold.

I searched the internet and bought a guide called "the genital wart report" which consists of 13 pages or so on information about HPV, its about 13 bucks. It talked about the castor oil + baking soda approach as working the best. I tried it for about 2 months but had no effect on me, and the baking soda just hurt like hell and didnt produce any nice results. So after that i bought a product called "wart no more" and was excited because it was all natural, the site has alot of information on it about hpv so i bought the product, 85 bucks for a tiny little tinicture of oil it lasted about 1 month and didnt do the job.

ONCE AGAIN i was dissapointed and in the dumps.

So i got back to the clinic to have it frozen off using liquid nitrogen. For all of you who have done this method, you KNOW that it is incredibly embarrasing, painful, and traumatizing. Come back in 14 days sir and do it again.

I swear at this point the darkest thoughts went through my head. Nothing bloody worked I was so upset.

So another month went by and i decided one more time to look on the internet for how to warts. I came across this site mabey god wanted me to find it or something, because i found it on like 2kb's of stolen wireless internet.

I read the ACV technique and said hell why not, ill try anything.

SO here is my technique i used:

1$ package of medical gauze
1 7$ bottle of ACV (all natural stuff i found at the health store)
1 pack of Band-Aids
1 bottle of aloe vera
1 Bottle of VIT E oil
1 bottle Tea tree oil
1 small cup
1 set of tweezers
+ I have also been taking products called "Cell Food". Kyolic (not positive on the spelling but it is a good immune booster) and Thooja homeopathic therapy tablets to try and combat the HPV virus.

So this is the method i came up with after some trial n error

small splash of ACV into the cup
about an inch or 2 of gauze folded into a little patch
tweezer to drop guaze into cup of ACV
readied bandaid in correct spot
ring out excessive ACV from gauze
place patch of gauze over warts and seal band aid.

I did this for 4 hours durations 2-3 times a day
after the first time the warts turned white as well as lots of the rest of skin (not warts) from the band aid.
second day the warts turns ugly yellowish grey, then later that day black, then one of them actually fell off
3rd day was kinda of over kill but i wanted the job done, it stung like a mofo, but try to get one some pleasure from the pain knowing that your actually killing the warts. They had all turned black at this point and the skin surrounding my skin had become sensitive and red, i highly suggest NOT getting super adhesive band aids and just normal ones for you skins sake.

After the third day i stopped the ACV treatment and began the healing process. Where the ACV was had become a huge scab and truly looked like i had leprosy or something on my penis, scary stuff but you have to tough it out and pay no attention to it, or youll go nuts lol.

I made a little solution to hydrate and sooth the ACV area consisting of 1 tb spoon aloe 1 teaspoon Vit E oil, 3-4 drops of Tea tree oil, take a spoon n whisk it in a cup till it becomes a light green paste and apply gently. I found the tea tree oil VERY soothing after the burning from the ACV. It took 7 full days from start to finish for the scab to fall off, do no pick though or you will scar, just continue to add vit E oil or the full on paste a few times a day.

So far as i write this (3 weeks later) my gw appear to be gone and just some light pink skin remains.

THIS METHOD out of anything i have tried WORKED. NO embarrasing trip to the clinic, NO pricey BS internet topical, NO pain and torture compared to having liquid nitrogen on my package.

It ENRAGES me that the medical industry purposely holds back information to the average person, the bloody doctor could have just told me to get some Acv drop that on a few times a day n boom no more warts, but where would the profit in that be. Its truly sickening that they have made a world wide business out of your sickness. GOD BLESS sites such as this that give free information to an information starved populous, this is all the ranting i will do on the subject act far as the fda n medical industry simply in respect to this site.

DO this technique today, i would never have spent an hour typing this out if it was a lie.
This saved my mental health do it, do it now!

God bless

Emily,

I'm not clear on whether you are talking about genital herpes or genital warts. Both can be transmitted via sex. They can also look similar.

Lysine is helpful for genital herpes. Here is a link to useful dosing information :

Cryotherapy didn't work, so I was willing to give this a try. After treating the genital warts in and around my anus with ACV, my warts have definitely shrunk, and some have gone away. I had A LOT of warts, including two pretty big ones and a whole cauliflower-like cluster. It was disgusting. Now, after two weeks, I just have some spots left, but on a scale from 1 to 10, I went from a 9 to a 3. So that's something, although I was hoping for better results, after reading about people curing their warts in three days.

Maybe my results aren't as good, because I didn't want to soak my asshole in acid for longer periods of time. The skin of my anus is really sensitive and I've had some eczema there in the past. So I put some vaseline on the healthy skin around my anus, and applied a 50% ACV / 50% water mix with cotton tips. I used a mirror, dipped the cotton tips in the mixture, applied it on the warts, and repeated this for a minute or 5. After, I would 'let it burn' for about 20 minutes, then I'd apply some jojoba oil with a drop of tea tree oil, and some zinc ointment (this helps the skin to heal, and studies show that using topical zinc in combination with other methods can speed things along, so I gave it a try). Whenever I was short on time, I would just apply the oil and ointment straight after.

I also drink some dilluted ACV (don't forget to rinse your mouth thorougly, as this will damage your teeth), and got myself a shiitake-supplement (AHCC), and a zinc supplement. Primarily because I will definitely not be putting ACV up my vagina (I have warts on my cervix too, but none on my labia), and I want to heal this from the inside out.

Here are my takeouts:

• ACV affects your healthy skin too. I read some reviews where people would mention AVC only hurts the warts. That's nonesense, it's highly acidic and it WILL burn your healthy skin. Definitely try to protect your healthy skin with an oil or vaseline barrier, if possible.
• Dillute it! I used a 50/50 mix.
• My warts never turned black. They did become white and slightly bigger right after exposing them to ACV.
• Because it was almost impossible to protect my healthy skin (because the warts were everywhere), the skin cracked a little and there was a little blood on the Q-tip on the third day.
• Take rest days. General acid treatments advice you to use it for 3 days and then take 4 days off. I think that helps with ACV too. It gives your skin some time too heal. I used ACV for 3 days, took 2 days off, and so on.
• Get some aloë vera gel to apply in between treatments when things get really painful.

Some backstory:

I was a little hesitant to try ACV. I was diagnosed with HPV after a pap smear. Had some wart-like textures on my cervix, but nothing external. A month or two later, I noticed two small bumps near my anus. Told my GP and she said 'Just leave them, when the HPV clears, they'll fall off'. Big mistake, because a few weeks later, my anus was covered in warts. She tried freezing half of them off, but that literally had 0 effect. She told me to wait a week for things to heal, but I never even felt like there was something that needed healing.

I really hope my current battle plan works out.

I applied apple cider vinegar to a vaginal wart that occurred in the same spot about 6 yrs ago. It was so close to the mucus membrane of my vagina I wasn't sure it would work.

Here's what I did. I kept a small container near the toilet and I put little pieces of rolled up cotton in the ACV. I'd take one out and put it directly on the wart. I know this is graphic but here is where it was. The wart was on my labia major but almost on a fold that turned into the labia minor. It was a weird spot. I'd arrange the cotton on the wart and then fold my labia to cover it and hold it there for however long it would stay there.

It kinda burned and felt uncomfy but I kept up with it. The dimensions got smaller within a few days. By day 5 I couldn't feel it anymore but I continued to put ACV on the spot because I felt there was perhaps a bit more under the skin. So far so good!! All gone. I had a wart removed from that same spot 6 yrs ago... so it seems it is a reoccurring virus.

I did try tea tree essential oil during the first round but the TTO did not make such fast gains as the apple cider vinegar.

Ladies, if you try ACV be careful. I burned my vagina with it by leaving it on for 18 hours with cotton balls and paper tape. I did get some results, the small one is gone & the big one is smaller. If you try it, only spot treat the wart with Apple Cider Vinegar on a qtip for a few minutes at a time. It BURNS. Be careful this stuff really burned my labia minora, I can't hardly walk. Do not leave it on your sensitive vagina too long, it will burn it. And it HURTS! So, anyway don't do what I did. Be careful with it. Know you're not alone. Good luck.

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.

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

Wow, I've had a few small warts in the past 2 years, visited the doctor and got prescribed Condyline paint, which did remove them but they did reappear about 6 months later. (Misplaced the Condyline paint)

So Back to the doctors for another prescription, only to smash the bottle leaving the chemist, so to avoid another doctors visit did some research and here I am!

Apple cider vinegar works, and works better than Condyline paint!

I applied via a cotton ball, 3 to 4 times a day holding the cottons ball on the effected area for about 2 mins. The first time it was applied, (I thought I had 3 warts) any warts and obviously hidden warts go white, swell up and look terrible, I had about 7 spots appear. My first impression was, WTF have I done.

it does sting and make the wart area go red, the actual wart goes a white colour. but keep applying ACV several times a day (I didn't use tape, band aid, or anything else) just the ACV applying with a cotton wool ball. Each time I stings, but after 2 days you can visually see a improvement. 3rd day looks red but wart is nearly disappeared. Day 4 wart has shrunk and gone, mine didn't scab and fall off, just disappeared.

After 4 days I stopped with the ACV and about 5 days later the Raw and damage skin has gone and I'm back in action!

Do not waste your time going to the doctors, a $5 bottle of ACV and a 7-10 day rest without action, all warts are gone!

I can't believe how easy it was, actually better than Condyline paint, it does exactly the same, most probably burns the skin area more in my opinion.

Thanks earthclinic

Guys, I came to know about genital warts treatment by Apple cider vinegar from earthclinic. I was really sceptical regarding the treatment. I had multiple sex partners, once I decided to get married and left behind everything, warts started to show off and I really get upset moreover coursing my self Wht have I done.now it's been 72 hours I'm useing apple cider vinegar followed by castor oil believe me 60% of warts gone. I applied vinegar for 15 min and then use castor oil on it. This is the best and fast results I have ever seen. It works it works and it works

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

First of all, I want to thank everyone who have shared their experiences about genital warts treatment using Apple Cider Vinegar, I'm thankful that it's working on me and your reviews encouraged me to give it a try.

On June 2016, I noticed small warts on both sides of my labia minora (vagina wall), they were like 20 of them each wall labia, I went straight to my gyn and diagnosed with HPV that causes genital warts. I was given a topical cream, called Effudix 1% (prescription) which should be applied 3 times in a week for 3 weeks max, I was also given a petroleum jelly to prevent any burn to the unaffected skin. It didn't burn at all, it wasn't painful, the effudix cream smells really unpleasant but I applied it anyway, within 2 weeks, the warts were gone.

On August, I noticed they came back with their friends on my labia minora and I wasn't able to afford any medical help, I live in Indonesia which is insurance for such disease isn't covered by the government. Then on November I found this website about getting rid of genitals warts with ACV, so I give it a try.

My warts are on both of my labia minora (vagina wall) like a lot, also on my vaginal opening and the vestibule (below urethral opening) like a size of toe nail, it's so big and gross and also on bartholin gland like 3 layers look like chicken's comb. It's so gross, embarrassing and totally killed my confidence.

First day (around 8pm) : I soaked a cotton ball then wrap it with gauze pad and bind it so it looks like tampon, as I describe my warts are everywhere, I'm afraid the cotton balls would be stuck on my vagina. I didn't experience any burn at first, the bigger one on my vestibule turned white in 20 minutes, then 10 minutes after it turned greyish/black, so I keep the cotton balls for like 4 hours. Because I have to pee so bad, I change the cotton balls with the new one, here comes the pain! It burns my skin (warts so bad) I wasn't even able to walk and crying on bed, considering this is working I continue for like an hour, at 2am, I need to pee and ready for bed, I saw small seeds on my tissue as I wipe, I'm so happy and go to bed!

Day 2 (around 10am): I noticed the biggest wart on my vestibule and batholin gland getting smaller and turning black also the black seeds coming off when I wipe my vagina with tissue (PLEASE DO IT GENTLY, FOLKS :) The pain is unbearable, so I applied the ACV on cotton balls for like 20 minutes and I couldn't stand it anymore. At night, around 8pm, after I took a bath, I re-applied it and it stung like crazy, I couldn't handle it and was crying because of the pain.

I noticed the biggest warts on vestibule and 3 layers on my bartholin gland are getting smaller and smaller, as the skin of the warts and the black seeds coming off too, YAY!

NOW the problem, I'm experiencing vaginal discharge, white liquid smells like medication (Idk, hospital smell?) coming off, and start to bleed, A LOT, the blood came from the biggest warts and the warts on 3 layers of warts on my bartholin gland. I stopped using ACV and keep applying petroleum jelly (vaseline or anything, I use the one my doctor gave me on June) it helps the sore and more black seeds coming off with the blood, I was shocked but relief at the same time.

If any of you experienced this before, I would like to ask is it normal for a big wart to bleed? HOW ARE MY WARTS NOW? It's getting smaller and smaller, and the group of warts on my labia minora are getting hard (I assume they are drying and ready to fall off?) the bleeding is not as much as before and my vagina discharge is aslo getting better, not as much white liquid as before.

I hope you guys the best on treating this matter, if you are able to afford medical help, please do! I'm sorry for my english as it's not my native language, feel free to help me with my question, THANK YOU SO MUCH, GOD BLESS YOU!

Ok so I found out I had GW after my divorce. I was shocked. My on said that I had most likely had them years. And they were probably stress related. Well first time I treated them traditionally. With several trips to the doctor, hundreds of dollars and they never got any better, as a matter of fact they increased in numbers. My original warts were inside of my vagina, then after months of treatment I noticed they had spread to the bottom part of my vagina and close to my anus.

I went back to the doctors and he suggested that I start treating them at home with acid that he prescribed. 3 weeks later, more warts appeared!

So I started doing some research and found this site. That was a week ago. I started treatment and despite the burning I continued to treat (Being it actually was less painful than the acid). I keep a close eye on my warts to make sure they were not spreading.

Well much to my surprise today when I went back to the ob this morning the Doctor had the nerve to say "Well I see the acid if finally starting to work, all the warts close to your anus are gone and most of the others have reduced in size. I told you that it could take weeks to see results."

So I told him flat out what I was using and he told me that it was not the traditional way but as long as it was working to keep treating.

Mines are a little bit more difficult because they are INSIDE the vagina... what should I do? I am pregnant and I am driving crazy because of this... my life has ended.

I am a 25 yr old female who contracted hpv from my fiance 5 years ago. That was devastating enough back then but I moved past it quickly especially having no symptoms whatsoever with the virus.. until 3 days ago.

While showering I felt a bump on my perineum above my anus. I immediately got out and looked in a hand mirror and found skin tags surrounding my vaginal opening. It clearly was something std related and seemed to have appeared overnight. I went to the hospital right away - wet hair and all. I was hysterical in the exam room explaining the situation. The doctor checked me out and said to keep an eye on it. Diagnosed me with skin tags and said it probably wasn't genital warts even though I explained that I had hpv.

I didn't believe her, I looked at pictures online and the placement, size and shape were dead on with that of genital warts. Came across this site and decided to take action and try the Apple Cider Vinegar and gentle medical tape. Skipped the tea tree oil to save money.

First night: dipped cotton balls in Apple Cider Vinegar and placed them between my labia against the vaginal opening and against my perineum. Left in for about 2 hours. Not much burning at all, I thought everyone on here was just being wimpy. I checked and the warts had turned white, revealing exactly how many I had. 1 medium tag and some small ones around the opening; plus 3 or 4 trailing down to my anus. great.

Before bed same night: I soaked a tampon in Apple Cider Vinegar and placed it between my labia again in the same spot against the warts. not much burning, I slept fine besides the thoughts racing through my mind..

Woke up next morning: and checked in the mirror, warts were even whiter and some were grayish now. Glad this is working!

That afternoon: I decided to take three cotton balls and really soak them in acv, they were almost dripping. Infact they did drip a bit when I put them in. This session really did it. And this is also where the BURNING came in. 2nd time and twice as much acv. I was whimpering to myself and standing on my tippy toes. The pain did make me queasy but I just stuck it out and it became bearable after ten minutes or so.

After about 2 hours of passing time on the computer and watching tv to take my mind off of it, I pulled the cotton balls out. I'm very sore at this point, jumped in the shower to rinse (still sore but getting relief). I checked in the mirror and now they were black-ISH. Don't take the blackening so literally. Mine were just a darker shade of gray. I rubbed at the warts with a clean finger/small wad of toilet paper and they were wiping off!! THANK YOU GOD. I took the tip of my fingernail and lightly scratched at the surface of the biggest tag, it came right off. as gently as I could I scratched the entire surface off and it was pretty much painless dead skin.

The Apple Cider Vinegar had penetrated the flesh of the warts, making them super soggy. They never scabbed for me, they just wiped away leaving pink healthy skin underneath.

I dabbed a cotton ball with hydrogen peroxide on the the affected area to promote healing/kill germs/prevent spreading of the warts.

This is day TWO, two sessions a day and I don't have to see that nastiness when I look in the mirror anymore. I have my beautiful healthy smooth pink vagina back. well sort of! I'm still a little swollen but its going down by the hour.

Thank you so much everyone for sharing your experience with this monster of a disease. Good luck and I truly believe Apple Cider Vinegar can work for everyone. If you didn't have luck, you might not have saturated the cotton ball with enough acv. or maybe you didn't have direct firm contact to the warts (your cotton ball slid away or shifted).

I am aware that I still have hpv and the warts could pop up at any time but this has been a very stressful few months. I will make an effort to stay stress free and take vitamins to boost my immune system. I can always repeat this treatment if I need to. It only took two days and about 10 minutes of REAL pain. Was very worth it, I will sleep peacefully tonight with my confidence and self worth intact :)

ACV works 100%

Day 1: Applied ACV to warts with cotton that I ripped to fit the lesion at night. It didn't stick with tape probably because of the location. So I covered the cotton with toilet paper and then taped that down.

I also put on some cotton underwear to hold it in place much firmer. Barely slept through out the night mainly because I wanted it gone and kept making sure everything was in place. Also got up and changed the cottons this time just holding them in place with my underwear line.

Day 2: woke up to the bumps whitish gray and slightly swollen.

Took a bath like normal.

Then placed more ACV on the bumps this time it sting so badly I sat there for 15 mins holding it in place then cleaned it up with some Hydrogen Peroxide 3% and put on some cotton undies and headed to work.

At night I bathe as usual, then wiped the area with hydrogen peroxide waited for it to dry then applied the ACV which burned like hell this time around. I closed my eyes and prayed for the pain to subside, eventually it did. (Still looking whitish gray)

Day 3: woke up to them dark brown some parts still gray. Applied some more ACV for half an hour not long because it was starting to make my skin feel raw with all the stinging and swelling.

The area is now brownish.

Took a warm bath this morning cleaned the area with 3% Peroxide the applied some castor oil like I see some other people on here doing and it gave me instant relief. Then head to work. Does anyone else have white discharge?

At night I decided to stay committed as I'm hoping to have these things gone by weekend so I can heal. I soaked thicker cotton strips because the thin ones dried out too fast and slept with them over night tonight it burnt like the bitch it is.

Day 4:Woke up this morning with even more white spots that the spot treatments didn't pick up previous days and thicker cotton strips seem to have raise others to the surface. However the ones previously treated turned black like some people described here. Thank God it works

Now I have to apply the thinker larger strips at night to ensure the new found ones get going too.

I'm so disgusted but please the ACV works.

This morning I didn't do anything jus bathe and let it dry out. Letting it rest and heal for the intense treatment I'm about to do tonight.

After work I took a warm bath and washed myself properly getting ready for my ACV soak tonight. Looked in the mirror and the spot that had turned black this morning are now gone. Eeeee I'm so happy and excited. Thank you Jesus it works! It did leave red flesh colored skin in its place but idc I'm soooo freaking happy rn.

This journey has truly taught me to respect myself more. Use a condom with new partners and get their test results. Cause ain't no way. I'm not even a super active sexual person only been with 5 ppl my entire 24 years of life.

Anyways tonight I soaked a big piece of cotton like night before and slept with that on knowing I'm almost done with my treatment.

Day 5- Bathe and watched myself in the mirror it completely cleared one side of my vag opening. The other side is dark and has dark spots peeling and flaking very sore but I'm pleased to say I'm getting somewhere. The previous white spots have faded or fallen out idk prob wasn't warts to begin with. Happy to say I'm almost completely done one more side to go. Yayy!

Tonight as I looked in the mirror I noticed the chunk on my right side had fallen off after my warm bath where I rubbed my vagina clean to ensure no dead skin was hanging on for my treatment tonight. In its place were raw skin patches I can tell my treatment is almost over. I applied a thick cotton on both sides just incase and put on my undies to go to sleep. Little to no burning tonight. However, I will be continuing my treatment till I am certain it's all clear.

Day 6- Woke up bathed and cleaned the area with peroxide rubbed some castor oil on the raw skin, put on some clean loose undies and went to work.

Came home took a warm shower and looked in the mirror. It looks very white and some areas raw. I'm taking tonight off to give it time to heal a little. So far both sides looks cleared. Also some of the Acv got on my but and caused slight burns. This method definitely works, I approve giving it a try.

Hi Thaddeus,

May I ask you when the lesion turned white was the area raised as well? Asking because I'm doing the regimen, and I noticed the wart turned white, however, it looks like its sitting atop a tiny raised crater.

Honey will cure the burn from pretty much anything. Even years later you can get improvement. Get pure raw honey and put it right on the burn. I am a scar former and have used it a few times, including on my face after a car accident. I used several blister bandaids over it. Looks gross at first but washes away clean and no scars. Also is safe on genitalia, I douche with a small amount and with a little coconut oil in clean water.

I've struggled with genital warts for some time now. After treating them and them being gone they came back after a five years. Apple Cider Vinegar does work, but not always. Here is my experience:

1. The best result I had was from a dermatologist burning them off with heat (not freezing them off). After burning them off, the dermatologist applied some sort of acid to the area for a few seconds. This was painful, but 100% effective. In his words "it's all about 100% cellular destruction of the infected cells". Which is why he burned them off plus acid. Note, burning them off without a doctor is not something I'd try.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar + home freezing kit takes care of most of them, but occasionally they came back. For me, it's about 90% effective.

3. Freezing them off is what has been the least effective, like it hardly works is expensive and hurts. I'll never try this again.

My current home remedy is clean the area, then swab down with ACV for a few minutes, then use the freezing kit, then dip a piece of cotton in ACV and tape in place for a few hours. I repeat this daily till its gone. After its no longer visible I continue applying salicylic acid to the area for a week just in case there are a few infected cells hanging around that I can't see. Hope this works or else its back to the dermatologist.

I'm throwing in the towel. I've developed severe anxiety. I can't eat or sleep or digest food. I'm fatigued and have lost the will to live. Tomorrow I'm going to the doctor for help.

The wart seemed like it was finally breaking down but the process is just taking way to long. Every time I look down at it I want to puke. If the wart was smaller it may have been more effective.

The guilt that I may have infected my partner has me suicidal. I'm seeking help for that as well.

I hope this treatment can help you, it almost helped me. But I'm just too tired and weak to continue living like this.

Hey Mike,

I have been reading through this site for a while and just came across your posts. I noticed that you were on here fairly recently and I wanted to check on you and see how you are doing now. I can relate in many ways to what you were saying so I felt the need to respond. I hope you have found some comfort and guidance with reaching out for further help. Please just know that this situation doesn't have to define you permanently, there are many ways to succeed in our quests for answers. It just takes time and due diligence. Keep your head up, and also remember that even if you did pass the virus along, that doesn't automatically mean they contracted it. And if they did, most people rid the virus on their own(without even knowing they had it a lot of times) in just a couple of years. Furthermore, just because you show physical signs of the virus, that doesn't mean your partner ever will. I am a woman with genital warts for 4 years now and my partner during that same time frame has never had any. I think he has already developed antibodies to me.

I just read this message, and it concerned me greatly. This is a virus that up to 90% of sexually active people will contract. Please don't let this affect your mental health further. I understand how this can make people feel guilty and ashamed, but it's actually unnecessary. It sounds like you're giving yourself an incredibly hard time. You will get rid of the warts with a treatment that works for you, and many don't have any further outbreaks. Treat this like any other ailment, and don't let this make your mental health worse.

I hope this finds you and helps you, and the problem is already gone.

Best wishes,
Bobby

I remember the first time I noticed a wart on my shaft. 5 years ago. Freaked me out. Read about ACV as a treatment and started to spot treat it. Used cotton, plastic wrap, and medical tape to keep it on all night. The first night it turned white and swelled up huge. It was like it was hiding behind the skin. After the second night the pain was real but I kept at it. Third night it tuned black. Fourth white again. On the seventh day, something weird happened. I was like the white just turned to mush and it came off with a wipe. Sort of like the ACV just dissolved it after 7 days. Hurt like a mother to apply it in that period but when I saw it just smoosh away it was like wow, gone. Worth it. Thought about one more night just to be safe but chickened out looking at the crater it left.

Just put a little polysporin on the spot and wrapped it and went to bed.. There was a small crater where it was but after the swelling went down from the ACV treatment you couldn't even tell where it was or that it existed. Never came back. I'm a healthy guy, eat healthy. Sure that helps. So, bummer. I found this tiny bump in another spot and put some ACV on it, and that tiny bump has grown into a huge white spot ....again. Like its hiding Guess round 2. But at least I know its going to work and when its gone, it's gone.
