Apple Cider Vinegar for Genital Warts

I was diagnosed with HPV in April. I was told I wouldn't get warts because of the strain detected from my Pap smear, but I'm very positive I have them so I think somewhere along the line I got another strain or had it to begin with. I tried ACV and they turned white instantly. I have them around my vulva, and I'm concerned I may have them internally since I have had thicker discharge, but I don't want to stick ACV up there until I'm sure from the Dr.. I initially thought I had a yeast infection because I was itchy, and the medicine did actually help, but only temporarily and I went through two rounds of miconazole (the first round cured a yeast infection but the itching I still experienced was warts forming I think. They are small). I'm starting to drink ACV again because I never had the issues with warts when I was drinking it constantly due to stomach problems (it truly helps with GERD and other digestive issues from my experience). Along with ACV, I am taking: Vitamins C, E, and D3, garlic supplements, vitamin B12, folic acid, probiotics, and a green tea supplement. I'm actually even considering getting off birth control to maybe help heal myself.

I'm diluting the ACV before applying it, but I think it's causing some mild sores and I am bleeding a little in some areas, but it's only barely and is only seen on a q-tip when I dab the area. Unless these sores were from new warts trying to show up but I got them before they formed, or I burned healthy skin... I'm just going to let myself heal some. Pretty much the entire area except a few spots turns white, but I want to take it easy so I don't cause damage. It totally got rid of a smaller wart in a day and I only applied the ACV for maybe 20 minutes full strength. I was examining myself yesterday and noticed a cluster of a few (suprisingly in the shape of a flower haha) and they were definitely smaller today, but then one showed a little bit of growth, but I'm not super concerned about that. They are just in really awkward spots to hold a cotton ball on overnight, so I just go for like 20-30 min at a time. I think it will work in due time, and my itching is already much much better. If I didn't do a thorough examination of myself I wouldn't have even noticed I had them and would have assumed it was another yeast infection. I really do hope the thing ACV will help, and I'm really trying to get over the fact that I have HPV. I've been very depressed about it lately, so I hope it all clears up soon.

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.

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!

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!

I had GW's for over 2 years - I have the scars from using DIY home freezing. I was at wits end as they just kept coming back in different areas and as I got more frustrated the scars got bigger. Apple Cider Vinegar was purely miraculous. Gone gone gone and so easy to do!!!

I used kitchen towel to swab onto the infected area up to 5 times a day and the over spill picked up smaller GW's I had not seen... I may have the scars from freezing but in 7 days I was clean thanks to ACV

I was frantically searching for a cure then I stumbled upon ACV and it's benefits. My first outbreak required surgery where it was burned off however they came back and I was depressed. To make a long story short I tried the ACV remedy. Soaked some using a cotton ball and taped it down with a plaster. This time the warts were around my anus however very small but still visible. They turned white after just having it on for 15 minutes. I slept with it over night and by next morning they had reduced significantly. Even the cotton ball had black spots on it. I'm very pleased with the results. I'm would advise anyone suffering from genital warts to try. It has a lot of pain but like they say no pain no gain.

(London) I first noticed a small growth on my outer labia a year and a half ago. I had slight itch once in s while, but no pain. I thought it would disappear. It slowly started to get bigger (size of a green pea) and then 3 months ago I noticed another small skin tag/growth appear. I knew for sure it was a wart.

I was was going to go to my GP, then came across this site recommending ACV and other treatments. I only have Braggs ACV with the mother in the cupboard. So decided to try that method.

Before I went to bed, I used a cotton bud. Dipped tip into acv, put the tip directly onto the wart. It did not hurt like ive seen discribed in other comments. I held in in place for 20-30mins. I noticed the wart turned white. Then I went to bed.

The next morning, I noticed the larger wart was half the size and the smaller wart barely visible.

2nd night before bed, again dipped tip of cotton bud in ACV the put tip on wart, this time it did stink a lot, so dabbed it until the pain subsided and again held it in place for 20-30mins, then went to bed.

Next morning there was just a small red spot, I'm guessing the wart had fallen away when I had my shower. There was a tiny bit of blood, no pain whatsoever.

Repeated again the 3rd night and the next morning, there's no wart, scar or red spot, in fact no evidence of having a wart at all!!

I'm going to repeat this for a few more days to make sure, but I am so relieved and very happy with the results. I did not think it would actually work, but I am so glad it did. I urge you to please try the ACV method, honestly it really work.

This really worked for me! So I was diagnosed with gw and the first time had to get lasered because I had quite a few inside my vagina and two on the outer labia. The surgery cost me over 9k with my insurance and 1k out of pocket but I was devasted and wanted to get rid of them only to have two more pop up outside of my vagina 5 months later. I was prescribed imiquimod cream to treat any flare ups. I found one started treating it for 3 weeks no improvement and a new one popped up! Ok time to try something new I used Apple Cider Vinegar organic with the mother (not the see through stuff) first I cleaned my gw with peroxide then put coconut oil on the surrounding areas of the gw then soak a part of a cotton ball with the Apple Cider Vinegar and put it in place just enough to cover the gw and secured in place with a bandaid overnight. Woke up washed the area and cleaned with more peroxide. Repeated this for 3 more nights until it turned black and fell off. My gw were very small but I can't believe how fast it worked and how cheap it was! I have read stocking up on your daily vitamin intake b, c, e and Apple cider pills can fight off future outbreaks! Good luck everyone I know this can be heart breaking but know there is hope!

Apple cider vinegar is the way to go! On Christmas morning I spotted a lump assumed it was nothing (was with my partner 3 years) and continued on shaving. That night I found out he had been cheating on me.. With more than one girl... A few days later 3/4 more sprouted. I guess the stress from the breakup and all the bad food/alcohol over the holiday period definitely didn't help. And of course it was Christmas and all the clinics were closed until the new year. Finally got an appointment the second week of January, but the doctor in the clinic was not helpful at all! First of all she asked me about my symptoms and my sexual history. She then instructed me to get undressed she did the swab inside, took a urine sample and took blood. I got redressed and she told me I had thrush and a urine infection and gave me medicine for that.. I had to ask what about the warts. I had to then get undressed again and she examined them properly she said they were small and froze them using the nitrogen spray. Oh my God! The agony! ACV is a breeze compared to that. She gave me Aldara and told me to wait 4 days as I may not even need to use it. The warts she froze did go away but it was so painful, and others started to appear. So I used the aldara for 12 weeks and nothing.. The warts did shrink a little but it irritated me so much. The prescription was all done and the warts were still there. I have been using ACV for the last 5 days and the difference is crazy. I used cotton pads instead of balls and the first time I used it I put the cotton pads all over it stung but not as much as I expected it to. A few little ones started to appear also. I've been keeping the ACV on for around 1-2 hours at night and then using aloe Vera gel during the day to help it heal. I am going to take a break for a few days as it does get quite painful and let it heal. But I have no doubt that they will go away. If anyone had any advice on hair removal with GW that would be great as I like to keep it smooth down there. (not that any guy will ever see it again, im taking up celibacy haha! )

So heads up, your warts will definitely go away but you better grit your teeth because trust me, the pain will be almost unbearable. You will get through it, trust this. Then while you're going through the burns curse the person or thing which made you get it in the first place.

Firstly, these are the things I used:
Goya ACV
Elmer's Glue
Que tips
Cotton pads (not balls)
Scissors

1. On the first night, after a shower be sure to take advantage of the ACV on this day cause you won't have it again. You won't feel any burning so be sure to get that ACV on those warts real good by using the cotton pad but if they aren't near to each other, use the Que tips.

2. In the night the cotton won't stay in place so I use some glue and put it either on the cotton or my skin surrounding the wart. U don't want to put the glue on the wart itself. You want the ACV on that. (hopefully you shaved) Next I used another cotton pad (this is pad B) and dipped it in ACV then put pad B onto pad A that I've covered on top of the wart. This manages to stick better over night.

3. In the morning I repeated these actions. This is the 1st day and 2nd night. Or depending on whether you are going to be outside, you may want to consider just holding the Que tip with ACV on a each wart for 20-30 secs. Then go about ur day. When home at night, continue with step 1.

4. By this 2nd night, I felt the burn. Keep this up for 5-7 days and they'll go away. One thing you will notice is that on the 2nd or 3rd day the warts may have increased but this just means that the ACV is showing up all the other warts you couldn't see. (kinda like they are ones below the surface)

NB. The warts may change color like a dull Grey or white. Don't be alarmed, just means it is working. Additionally, I don't know if it is working, but I have proceeded to drink the ACV too, to keep them at bay. I put some in my fruit juice, just don't put a ton cause you know it is acidic. I've also proceeded to use some when bathing, pouring some in the water or on my washcloth when I'm ready to clean down there. Be sure to wash the rag out before you use it anywhere else though, as I read that it can spread. (No way do you want that to happen)

I don't have any warts and I'll keep drinking and using ACV like this cause that burning is something no one should go through ever again. Never you be out of ACV, who knows when you may need it again. Until they are gone, I wish you good luck and be brave!

The only way to do it is to get a bandaid, coat the gauze attached to the bandaid with any triple antibiotic ointment so the vinegar doesn't soak into it. Take a cotton ball and soak it in Apple cider Vinegar (ACV), apply directly on the wart. Leaving it on the area for a full 24 hours. Wash the area and apply some aloe for the effected tissue. The next day do the exact same process. The whole wart will turn completely black. The third day repeating the same process and you will notice the cotton ball itself will gain a grayish hugh. (the grey color is the black seed being extracted )The wart will be gone completely. If you can't stand the little 10 minutes of stinging the second and third day of application, you don't really want a normal life again. I've gotten rid of multiple clusters, one singular one that was the size of a pencil eraser, even ones on my feet and hands all with this same method. My advise is to get over the pain and do what you need to do to make the results happen.

Hi, I'm 29 years old and got HPV around 12 months ago. I've seen some posts here and there and for the fella's out there you are not alone. There are few things that I use which works (and optionals if you want to speed the healing up).

ACV - People say use the mother.. I say use whatever is available to do! They all work.

Hydrogen Peroxide - This will help disinfect and kill the virus on the surface and stop it from spreading

Cotton balls/Medical Tape - for application

Male Hygiene Wash (Tea-tree oil and Silver as the active ingredients - helps kill the virus at the surface, also speeds healing/recovery).

So I'll summarise the issue - there were 3 warts that appeared (I thought they were moles), though after a few weeks since noticing them, they got bigger and started spreading smaller ones around it. I freaked as is the norm, and went straight to the doctors. They checked and diagnosed it as GW and that I had HPV (though the tests I had done came back negative... weird huh?) - Apply some common sense here I say, don't go waste your money if you don't need to.

I applied aldara also known as amiquimid - don't waste your money. Its rubbish and does nothing. Its suppose to activate your immunse system within the area and irritating the wart - it stalled the growth, but at the price, it was not worth it (comes in tiny little sachets which if you aren't use to using it, you generally apply too much or not enough)

After a while I found this site - and for the lads, at this point, you definitely don't wanna see any of the ladies with your junk looking the way it does. Mine were on the shaft just behind the head. So it was definitely not a good thing. I even found one right inside the urethra which was freaking me out.

So first things first, apply ACV to cotton wool, and apply it to the ones you can see, and within about 10 minutes, you'll see them turn white. Now here things change.

You can follow the suggestions below and tape it on and so forth, but unless your willing to burn your junk, I don't recommend it. Let your body fight it with you. So apply the ACV, make sure its turned white, and hold it on for another 10 minutes or so. Once done, go wash your junk with water, wash with the hydrogen peroxide (dilute it with water if your must), then follow through with the male hygience wash (they moisturize the skin as well). Make sure its dry.

Repeat this step every morning and night - gives your healthy skin enough time to recover, and enough ACV to penetrate into the GW, activate your immune system, burn the virus in the skin. You'll soon notice it will turn black, your golden. Its dead. Just let it dry, it will go grey, dry up/scab and fall off.

The big ones are easiest get rid of, the smaller ones that you cnanot see are the issue, so I grabbed some toilet paper, made a 2-3 layers, and wrapped it around my shaft, then poured ACV.. If it gets the tip, its gonna burn thats normal. All the smaller ones show up, swell a tad, then once they've got enough, you'll notice that some will actually 'pop/deflate' after you've let it dry.

Because they are so small, they won't be 'thick' enough to need anymore. Mine have just deflated, dried up, and healed up and are gone. You'll need to do this maybe once every month. That ensures any small ones are 'killed' off before they present a visible problem.

Now the one in the urethra was the hardest, and this probably wasn't the smartest, but I gritted my teeth and did the following. Grabbed a small bag, poured ACV in it (with a little water), and wrapped my junk. Made sure plenty got into the urethra (you'll know because it burns like HELL at first, but after the initial, its not so bad). I did this for about 2 minutes only each morning and it worked!

The issue with it being in your urethra is it will want to scab and so forth. Know your urethra is soooo sensitive that its likely to get infected (you can't really clean inside it). I did try a bit of betadine with water to try clear it but it was a bit late. It got infected :(

Go straight to your docs, get amoxycycline or some broad spectrium anti-biotic and it will clear it up quick smart. (2 tablets a day, for 14 days). Just keep going with your anti-biotics, its generally only a very weak anti-biotic so you should be fine. Make sure to keep taking your pro-biotics while you do.

Once that cleared, I noted that the GW inside my urethra was gone. Totally cleared up. Now all I'm doing is just doing maintenance, which is to apply TP with ACV, leaving it on for about 5 minutes, and then thats it.

Note: Always use the peroxide on your hands when handling your junk. You don't wanna touch other area's and risk further spreads. So thats it - Fella's, it will all be fine. Note I did try the wrap it on at night, but it just did too much damage to the surrounding area's. If you have an active lifestyle, try a slow and steady method.

If you wanna get it off FAST, you can still get results following the above, maybe 3 times, but don't leave it on your junk overnight. The results aren't worth it if your junk fells like a live grenade that goes off everytime you move.

I used apple cider vinegar, 30 minutes at a time for three times a day on some anal warts and within 36 hours they had swelled up, new ones appeared, and they all disappeared. I was doubtful ACV would actually work, but I'm very pleased!

Like many others here I discovered a bump on my region and ignored it. It continued to grow so I eventually assumed it was a genital wart even though my health screen was not positive for HPV. I decided to apply ACV and see what would happen. I dipped q-tips in ACV and spot applied it to what I would consider a large-ish raised bumpy skin tag. I held the q-tip there as long as I could twice a day - on the second day it began to sting and I just thought it seemed like a good thing according to many here. It started to flatten and turn dark red/purple. On the third day I took a small piece of toilet tissue and dipped it in ACV - I folded it up a few times and squeezed out the excess. I put a small band-aid over the bump then tucked the tissue under the padding part with tweezers. I left this in place for a several hours. Next day - woke up and it was completely flat and dark red/purple and dried up - when I picked at it with tweezers it came right off. The skin underneath looks mostly healthy but I think it needs more attention after my skin has a little rest - a tiny bump is there. 1000% improvement - quick, fast and easy.

How badly do you want these to go away and stay away?

I was one of those that doubted ACV for GW [Genital warts]. Especially after one bad experience, but do recommend it highly now. [I still do not know how it would work out for a cluster of warts.]

Bad experience: I did not follow recommended procedure and burned my skin badly. I had only one and it looked like a skin tag. I went searching online and discovered what it was. I had no Q-tips but had the Vinegar. I soaked a rolled up piece of bathroom tissue in the vinegar, squeezed out the excess, and applied it to the area in a U shape [it was between vagina and rectum, the area there]. I left it there from about midnight to 8am. I wiped the area many times that day with vinegar tissue without squeezing out the excess vinegar and I did the same the next night as the night before. I was in misery, swollen, etc, but the GW fell off in about another day and no more came until recently [over a year]. But at that time I was burned. Slow down! Don't over do it! I also told the guy I was seeing who, it turns out, was the giver of it. He had one and did the same, set himself on fire too, but the GW [his was a anal wart] fell off about the third day.

I foolishly kept seeing him, discovered he has cheated sooooo bad. Has been like this since he was a teen, lots of females! All unprotected sex [I'm getting tested for EVERYTHING soon! ].

This time I went searching the internet again. I tried the banana peel thing exactly as it said. Scraping the stuff off and applying it as a paste, leaving it there all night. I broke out, was on fire, etc. So after that simmered down I tried the Vitamin E, diaper rash meds, and more, no results at all [but oils and diaper rash stuff will help protect the skin around the wart from vinegar burn].

I returned to vinegar one more time. But still I had no band aids or tape or Q-tips. [By the way, this time I had 2, now the anus and the same location as before.] I did the same as before but only one night this time. These swelled, turned white, and several more appeared. You can have more than what appears and vinegar can make them swell and appear. I was frantic till I discovered that fact. It simply raises up the ones you can't see and you want it to do this so you can get rid of these also. These new ones go away fast without becoming big because your attacking the HPV virus in them before they grow bigger. I kept using vinegar soaked tissue strips to wipe these about 3 days several times per day. Don't use this much!!! Drain the excess!! The warts went away fast! But I had burned myself again! I had two raised blisters or what looked like blisters. They were not warts but vinegar can turn things white that are not GW. These vinegar lesions turned flesh color in two days. Takes longer to get rid of these [vinegar damage] than the warts! I painfully douched out my rear three days [about 4 tbl spoons vinegar, the rest of it in water in douche bottle]. Warning: this works like an enema. Do this at home and not before work or school. You might have to run to the bathroom a few times after! Do not use a lot of vinegar in your butt! I read where one guy blistered himself and it got infected and he had to go to the ER, explain, be medicated, had scars after, etc! I commonly douche the front [vagina] with white vinegar and have many years [by the way I think ACV would be better on the warts but both times all I had was white. And I use more vinegar in vaginal douche but do not advise it for those who do not douche regular with vinegar]. I did this once per day for 3 days. I do not want any GW inside my self in either area. I don't want GW's ever again period.But HPV does not get cured. You can keep warts at bay but the virus is with you for life. Let your immune system be weak and you will have recurrences. Keep your immune system up, you might never have one again.

During this time I have changed some things about myself, too. I'm eating far more veggies and fruits, I replaced meats with eggs [you can just cut down on meats except liver and fish], I drink a lot of water, orange juice, Apple juice and Green Tea per a day [do not over do green tea if you have a heart problem of any kind or AFIB. Consult you physician]. I also put 4 table spoons of vinegar in a 12 ounce glass of water in the morning and drink it down, [but posts I have read recommend 2 table spoons]. Three weeks later there is not a spot on my body of any kind anywhere, I feel better physically, am not tired in the day no more and don't require any naps at all. At the time of the first problem over a year ago I had started doing the same because of a diet. This time the same reason but also read fantastic things about drinking vinegar water in the morning and 2-4 cups of green tea per day. I have read even by doctors your body will fight HPV that causes these, maybe even prevent any occurrences if you pick up your immune system. I also cut back to 2 cups of coffee per day, my cravings for sweets quit with the tea intake so there has been no junk food and I don't drink pop or anything with sugar. For that matter the recurrence happened when I drank alcohol several days heavily. I was not eating a bite of food, was smoking heavily, was very depressed. Stress will trigger these too from what I read. Poor diet, stress, heavy intake of bad things such as alcohol, coffee, smoking, sugar, junk food, lack of vitamins, etc. But the tea and vinegar cleanses the body of much bad and kicks in gear the good needed to ward these off.

So, this is my remedy for you. Worked fast as can be for me.

Morning: 4 tablespoons of vinegar to 12 ounce glass of water. Drink it down. If you get a belly ache, cut down to 2 table spoons or just use the recommended dose of two.

Start your day with cup of green tea, nothing added to it. Drink at least one to two more from then before bed time.

Stop the junk food immediately at least till this occurrence has passed. Stop the coffee at least temporarily. Stop sugar. Cut waaaaay back on meat. Eat lots of veggies and fruits. I am presently only on fruits, veggies, juices, eggs 4 times per week and no meat. If you stop meats as I did it is recommended to replace this with eggs 4 times per week. You should maybe throw in some vitamin supplements.

3 to 4 glasses of 100% orange or apple juice per day. Four 12 ounce glasses of water per day.

Drinking so many liquids may cause your appetite to be as mine which has went from extreme to practically none, mainly because of the tea from what I read. Eat!!! And eat healthy.

Use ACV "properly" on Q-tip applied to wart overnight a couple nights in a row held in place by tape or band aide. During the day wipe the wart with q-tip that has vinegar on it.

If your a woman douche three days in a row with vinegar douche, two to 4 Table spoons of white vinegar [not sure how much if you use ACV]. If there is an anal wart [you're male or female], decide for yourself about vinegar enema, two table spoons to douche bottle of water [do not know how many ounces that is]. I'm no doctor! But what I have read about this means you could wind up with an infection so decide for yourself. I'm not a back door person either so this was very painful for me. No harm from vinegar though. I did as recommended online and only inserted the tip an inch to 2 inches, not the whole thing! You need the holes on the nozzle inserted enough to release the mix inside.

I douche twice per week with vinegar, I have done this several years. Doctors advise against over douching. Over douching might cause the vagina to not do its own proper cleansing, is what I read. I will also keep up with the back door cleansing once per week though it is painful cuzz I never want a recurrence. I will also use a paper towel, damp with vinegar every other day to skin ward this off.

HPV is a skin thing. Keep it clean.

Experiments have been done with chlorine bleach in labs but not on people! I have read where some have used it on warts or as a cleaning process, merely damp paper towel as I am doing with vinegar like every other day for merely washing, wait a few minutes, clean it off. As a preventive measure. The bleach destroys the HPV in the lab in the cylinders they use [again, not tried on people]. I read some people do the same steps as you would with vinegar. I'm just not going to myself since I already have something that works and works fast. Things I have read did not say how long it takes to get rid of a wart with bleach.

Go to the doctor if you have more than say 5 or if their large or if you burn yourself with anything you experiment with trying to get rid of these!!!!!! You should go to the doctor anyway. And please please tell any sexual partners! You have no right to spread this to another. Because of where these can be located a condom does not prevent you giving it to others. You have no right to infect others. Please care and please don't have sex without telling your partner. If you have a present partner, please tell them what has happened. What my mate has done to me has harmed me in self esteem, emotionally, mentally.

Don't just right out blame your partner. These can take from 2 weeks to months to years to pop up on you. You may be the one that has given it to them!

Do not, do not, do not shave the hair below!!!!!!!!!!!!! It can cause a recurrence and also cause it to spread. Do not shave pubic hair ever again!

Do not pull or shave a wart off. You will probably get an infection and it will spread and can bleed a lot!

Men, you need to clean your whole every thing, under sack, anus, the sack, shaft, rim, head.

Men and women, I now soak three times per week in vinegar bath. Bath tub of water at least several inches deep, one cup of vinegar. Soak at least 20 minutes, I soak 30 minutes. Found this online, too. My skin feels great afterward, too.

How badly do you want these gone? How badly do you you not want another occurrence? How badly do you not want to give it to another? [But remember, even with these gone, you can spread HPV by unprotected sex. You are now doomed to condoms the rest of your life! ]

Treat yourself inside and out. Put your towels in a safe place [hamper] out of reach of children and anyone and especially wash cloths used to wash these areas.

If you do oral, chances are you could have these in your mouth whether you see one or not, rinse your mouth in evening before bed with diluted vinegar or with peroxide. Personally I rinse with straight vinegar followed by straight peroxide [do not swallow]. Swish it around. Don't panic if the inside of your mouth turns white all over. Vinegar and peroxide either one will do this. Again, vinegar can make things whaite that are not GW and peroxide in the mouth will turn much of the inside white. It's not white when you wake in the morning. Use peroxide first, swish all over, spit it out but do not rinse. Wait 5 minutes, rinse, then swish vinegar, then rinse immediately after you spit it out. Or just use vinegar. I use both cuzz I smoke and peroxide is a great yeast killer and kills some types of bacteria. Can even be used in a douche to tackle Vaginosis, Yeast Infection, and the std Trichomonasis. Again, you can be hurt by such if not done properly. Never douche with straight vinegar. Never douche with bleach at all. Only use recommended amounts of peroxide or vinegar in douches.

You have a responsibility to protect others. GW and like 100 strains of HPV has become insane in the US today. You know people with it without realizing it. All sexually active people who have had several partners in their life will have one strain or another in their life. The person who gave it to you might have been a person who knew and did not care, and may have had suspicions they were infected and did not care, please don't be as they were. You yourself could have hadit for years and not known. But apparently you know now so be careful!

With genital or anal warts there can be extra moisture to the vagina and rectum that was not there before. It is of utmost importance to keep these areas clean and dry! This moisture can cause a whole lot of itching and prevention of healing and a recurrence. Some use paper towels to keep things dry. They say it takes a lot of getting used to. With myself I have had no more of this since they went away and had none in between the two occurrences. I read in one place you should use a hair dryer to dry things down there after baths, after douching, etc.

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

Thanks for everyone's contribution here. I do have a question though, did it turn yellow at some point during the process? Mine seems to look like crater, edges are grey/black, and inside is yellow, very slightly protruding out of the crater (image at 8x zoom below), Is that normal? Or is that a scab/healing tissue? It is soft to the touch.

A rundown of what I did:

I noticed a tag/wart on my scrotum for months and finally decided to do something about. I did pick at it, trying to manually remove it, but it just bled instead. Eventually, I found this website, and decided to try it out the ACV. On the first night, I just dabbed undiluted ACV for a minute, then took a shower. Day 2, it looked like the site was more exposed, and it swollen up. I cleaned with Hydrogen peroxide 3%, and that turned the lesion milky white, then applying diluted 2:1 ACV: Water for 5min minutes using Qtip. Then day 3, the site looked yellow as describe above, it did not turn white, and remains the same today (day 4).

Thank you for your post. I received my one genital wart from none other than a nurse (RN) I slept with. She told me afterwards. Ahhhh and sure enough I now have one. Started using the very same Heinz apple cider vinegar and will continue. Slightly painful yet not earth shattering so I'll keep going.

I don't know about gw but for warts in general you may want to try boosting your immune system. I had been dealing with them for at least 7 years on my hands and feet tried everything topical some would go away and come right back months later. Earlier this year I started taking now extra strength beta glucan and now immune renew to protect myself from COVID and within a few months I noticed that all the warts just disappeared.

Hi Cheska!

I know someone who had a similar experience. The small bit that was left just stayed that way, is still that way many years later. The doctor who examined it was not concerned about it.
