Hey everyone,

I'm happy to let you know that this is day 4 of using apple cider vinegar on my GW's, and very pleased to announce that for the time being they are gone.
3weeks ago I've had one cluster of 3 warts on the inside of my labia majora (the outer folds of skin of the external female genitalia) treated with silver nitrate which I thought did the trick. I had to go back a week later due to another little bugger showing up on my perineum (the area in front of the anus extending to the fourchette of the vulva in the female and to the scrotum in the male.)

A few weeks later the skin felt bumpy again and I asked my doctor if it was the wart resurfacing or scar tissue. Of course she opted with scar tissue, which it wasn't.
GP's or at least mine has not given me any information, hope or encouragement that my Virus will be rid from my body within 2 or so years. The only thing that has given me hope are these blogs I've been reading. I'm surprised not more has been done to find a treatment that works and prevents the virus from coming back.
I believe that the apple cider vinegar has got rid of my warts and is so far the best treatment out there from what I've read, but I do think they will be back. When they do I will continue to do the same thing that got rid of them the first time.

Day 1 - I use a cotton pad soaked in ACV and placed it around my whole genitalia. This gave me a good sense of where my warts were. They turned white after 30 min of exposure. I had around 8 warts when I only thought I had 4. I used medical tap to keep the cotton pad in place then a pad in my underwear.

Day 1 was easy with minimal stinging.
In the morning I washed the area with soap and water then left it alone till I got home from work.

Day 2- I started on supplements
Vitamins A, B-12, C, D, E, zinc, omega, Biotin (hair and nails) to boost the immune system as much as possible. Daily glasses of Green tea (as strong and bitter as possible)

Keeping up a good diet, including drinking 1 tablespoon of ACV twice a day.
I prefer putting a table spoon of juice and water in a tiny glass and hucking it back. It really doesn't taste very good but is incredibly healthy for your body. It's bad for your teeth so don't let it sit in your mouth.

I soaked in the bathed every night with tea tree, oregano, lavender and coconut oil.
Then used a hydrogen peroxide soaked pad on the area for 5min.

Day 2 the ACV stung pretty bad not going to lie. Like the other guy said "no pain to gain". By this time my GW's were white, irritated, and twice the size (which is expected when something irritates it, so nothing to worry about)
I only could keep the application on for a couple hours tops and repeated this 2-3 times. The stinging only hurts for the first 20 min then you get use to it. You MUST be careful because I did burn my skin. It shows up as dark red/brownish patchs. My area was difficult to prevent burns because the outside of my labia minora was pressing on the AVC soaked cotton ball. I'll try using Vaseline next time.
Again I soaked in the tub and applied the hydrogen peroxide.

Day3- I woke up, washed my area with soap and water.
I applied a cotton pad of hydrogen peroxide to prevent an infection and to eat away at the dead tissue.
( I recommend doing this after every AVC application.)
My skin was VERY raw by this time and I needed to put some cream on it. I talked to my pharmacist and she recommended zinc oxide oinetment.
I've only used this once because I wanted to keep my area as dry as possible.

Day 4 The last day I only used hydrogen peroxide in the morning, after work and before bed to take off the dead skin from my burn and now she looks like new. I did put a mixture of oils (tea tree, oregano and coconut) on the area because the skin was super dry and I wanted to promote healthy skin.

I have a mild GW case compared to a lot of people on here. I wanted to attack it early and I think that's where I have an advantage. Even tho I don't have any warts at the moment, I will do checks with ACV every couple days to make sure.

I did read about someone using cortisone cream and if you are you need to stop asap!!!!
Cortisone has a steroid in it that only feeds the virus.

I hope this was helpful and I wish everyone else the best of luck.

Cheers.

So far it's not working as well I hoped.

For about three weeks now I've been applying ACV directly to my warts. I have several small clusters, all under my foreskin on the shaft of my penis, and along the edges of the head of my penis. This makes it very difficult to I find to get ACV onto the affected areas, and keep it there. I can't wet paper or cotton with it and leave it on, as my foreskin, once I'm not pulling it back, will push those things off the area again.

As a result, I have been placing very thin strips of ACV covered paper onto the area and "rolling" my foreskin over it to keep it in place. I've done three sessions now where I will leave this on for 8 hours a day, give it a few hours rest, then do it at night again (another 8~ hours). Repeat for three days. Then, once it looks like everything's been killed (and believe me, by this point it looks like a warzone. The pain on the third day of putting more ACV on was incredible), I spend a week repairing it with polysporin. Again, I've now done this three times (so over a month of treatment). Over the course of each week, the skin will peel, scab, eventually fall off, revealing fresh ish skin underneath, then slowly regain normal color as the redness fades.

In the past month, maybe one or two warts from the several CLUSTERS has actually left for good. They just keep surviving or coming back. Often in the same spots (which leads me to believe it's just the same warts) or somewhere else nearby.

I'm young, mid 20s, healthy male. I eat fruits and vegetables and maintain a solid diet. I sleep well and exercise three times a week. I have a fairly stress free life. I'm a healthy person. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong and why I'm not achieving results like everyone else.

I think the biggest issue is the location of my warts (on the shaft, under the foreskin) that makes it difficult to target.

Please, does anyone have similiar experience and can help?

So two months ago, when I was washing my vaginal area, I noticed two bumps around my perineum and they felt like usual pimples, So I just let them be. A few days later I noticed one had gotten a little bigger, so I used my finger and popped it open. A week later, the same bump came out with a little one next to it. in total, within two weeks, I had like 5 of these bumps around my vaginal area. I just assumed it was a yeast infection, went and got Mycoten from the nearest pharmacy. A day later, my period came and by evening I had like 10 if not hundreds of these nasty things all over my vagina and labia. I was scared and went to see a doctor the next day.

To start WITH, I AM A BLACK African Woman, and I happen to be studying in one of the most racist countries in eastern europe. When I went to see the doctor, I was on my period but I wore a tampon to avoid any mess. First of all, before the shmug doctor even diagnosed me, he was so racist towards me. Already assumed I had an std before he even saw anything. SO RACIST! Well, after that he just took a look, stood up and walked out of the exam room. I got dressed and followed him out asking what was wrong with me? All he said to me was "you have Virus CONDYLOMA" that was it swear. I had no idea what that meant whatsoever, and I was certain it was not an STD because I have only slept with two guys since I lost my virginty this year. The doctor told me I have condyloma and he's going to need about $1000 to burn them and I should know that I'm gonna have this forever and they're gonna keep coming back. I was devastated.

Came back home, cried to my boyfriend and he calmed me down and told me were going to try find some money to do that. I helped him check his genitals, but fortunately he has no warts appearing YET. The whole day was scary for me, I thought I was going to die. Started doing my research and by 3pm I found EARTHCLINIC omg. ACV? I was shook, but I didn't hesitate to consider Cider Vinegar, because I needed anything that could be less than $1000.

I bought organic filtered Apple cider Vinegar with 6% acidity, aloe vera gel, some cotton balls and hydrogen peroxide 3%. That evening I got back home from the grocery store, I soaked a cotton ball in ACV and just dropped it around my vagina, while laying down for about 30mins. I did not feel any pain whatsoever. So 3hours later my boyfriend suggested to take a look, and I could tell how disgusted he was when he saw them, he told me they have gotten soon big and soo white its scary. So he helped me put another cotton ball, this time securing it with tape. It hurt like a mf this time ouchhhh.

For the next 3days, while on my period I was using ACV, aloe vera gel during the daytime and hydrogen peroxide to wash myself, I didn't see any change also I had burned my surrounding skin from acv. so I took a break and started applying ALOE GEL, that day while wiping myself, there was Black seeds on the tissue I was soo excited, even my boyfriend was happyy too.

My warts never turned black, they were either shrinking, or cutting off while they were white and soggy. most came out in 7days and the cluster I had has shrunk so small I thought it was gone. I stopped ACV because I had exams and stuff, so I rested for the next 4 days and just yesterday I realized that Cluster wasn't really thoroughly killed, its growing bigger again. Meaning I have a very stubborn strain of HPV. I HAVE STARTED another treatment just yesterday in order to kill it all, and I am also hoping to do the TAMPON AND DILUTED ACV soak in a few days. I don't have them inside of me, but they're right on the outside and I'm sure in a few weeks they'll start moving IN. gotta kill them asap.

In conclusion, I promise anybody reading this, ACV WORKS FOR GENITAL WARTS. Don't you dare give up on your coochie, burn and kill those bastards and regain your self esteem. Luckily for me, my boyfriend had been the most supportive person ever in my life and I don't care if he gave this virus to me or not, all I know is NOW I HAVE IT, theres not going back, and theres nothing I can do about it. Were waiting to see if his own will start to appear, because he also has HPV, but no symptoms still. We are both taking two garlic pills and two echinacea pills a day with 1000mg vital c capsules to strengthen the immune system. I am also trying to cleanse my diet, and kill those things from the inside. I heard you can take a shot glass of ACV, but heck noo last time I tried it I was puking the whole day Its absolutely disgusting. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY OUT THERE AND GOD BLESS EARTH CLINIC

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!

I need to pay forward. I discovered quite a number of little reddish bumps on the shaft and base of my penis some weeks ago, and at first thought it was just ingrown hairs from shaving, but then, they didn't seem to go away readily. So, I went to the doctor eventually and he said it was too tough to tell. He prescribed some ointment (which cost over 50$) for the folliculitis, i.e. ingrown hairs. Long story short, it wasn't that. It was what I didn't want.

I read here that warts would turn white upon contact with vinegar, and they do. They almost immediately become inflamed and will stand out. This will likely frighten you. If you have a lot of them, its going to look bad. I had more than 30, so it looked very bad. My heart sank. I thought my life was over. Everything I read said that there is no cure and it could take up to ten years to go away on its own. I wanted to cry. With everything else I am going through in my life, I considered suicide. I have a new love-interest who lives in another state, and I was terrified that I would have to explain to her that I can never have sex and that my equipment is damaged and ugly. With great reluctance, I bought a jar of Apple Cider with mother. Reading all these reviews, I wasn't sure how to begin, particularly because the dosages and treatments vary so much from review to review. Some of the reviews aren't so well-written, and some of them are written by humans who may not be so pragmatic.

So, because I had little regard for myself in the first place, my approach was aggressive. I used a gauze roll soaked in ACV and taped it on with stick-to-self wrap. The first treatment was relatively painless--A slight burn. I left it on for about 6 hours. Sure enough, they had turned bright white. One had even turned black. I felt a little more hopeful. The second treatment was horrid. I left it on over night. Its enough to make you groan and shiver with pain. The next morning, most of them were black. I was in so much pain that I could barely put my socks on. I decided I needed to heal before another treatment. I came back and read some more threads that suggested less intense treatments.

I decided to do some spot-treatments of the ones I missed with waterproof bandaids and cottonballs. It all just became too painful, and I decided that I would resume all treatments once I was fully healed. From there, I focused on healing. I used Hydrogen Peroxide in the shower to dissolve loose skin. It looked like a dog chewed it for fun. I used A&D ointment and also tea-tree oil. The tea tree oil is great--Gives immediate relief from the pain. I also started an intense supplement regimen. Vitamins A, D, E, C, K. B-12, Folate (as methylfolate) and Garlic. Zinc, and Magnesium. I also started adding ACV to my water, and drinking PLENTY of it.

It's been two days, and here's the deal: The warts are 100% gone. The few that I had planned to come back to are gone. I have to wonder, maybe I could have treated this whole mess with only the supplement program, and saved myself the pain. I'll be honest, I don't really care, I am just relieved that they are gone and it looks as though I will have normal equipment by the weeks end.

For those keeping score, I dealt with a really severe case in one week---Treatment to healing. It also pays to know that I am very active. I am a long-distance runner and obsessed with nutrition. I do plenty of pro-biotics including Kombucha and Sourdough. I eat a daily salad. My metablolism is likely faster than most of the reviewers here, and I highly recommend exercise and tons of sleep. Get some bennedril, and knock yourself out for 18 hours and let your body do its thing.

Don't go bonkers like I did with the ACV right away, Its brutal stuff. In the end, I am spending more time healing from the ACV damage than the warts themselves. Settle down. This isn't a big deal. If you've only got a couple, use band-aids and q-tips. If the area is larger, maybe cotton balls. Wrapping your entire equipment like I did should be used only for very severe cases, and by particularly tough individuals. In other words, try getting a grip. Take some deep breaths, listen to some positive music and know that this isn't a big deal, and be careful with the ACV. Its okay. 85% of the population has this, and there is a legitimate cure.

Here's what I should have done:

1. Get your immune system operating on full capacity with a vitamin regimen, exercise, probiotics, sleep, and plenty of water with ACV.

2. Start ACV treatment in one spot at a time for short intervals---1-2 hours max.

3. Heal. Tea-tree. Coconut oil. A&E. Be nice to your equipment. Its not it's fault. Just because this is a 'natural' remedy, doesn't mean it isn't aggressive. Its brutal. Okay? It works. It more than works, it literally NUKES them, and fast. If you've only got a little gang of thugs, don't use a nuke to kill them. A simple hand-grenade will do the trick.

4. Be positive. Settle down. Don't be ashamed. Handle it. Its okay. Go to work. Do your life.

5. Get tested, and tell your partner. Yes, eventually, when my equipment looks beautiful again, I will have to do the right thing, and tell her. If she's a good person, she will understand. I recommend getting vaccinated after the infection is completely cleared, and I will have to recommend to my partner that she does as well before we become intimate. Don't be dumb, and if you know where you contracted it, you might consider calling them and explaining how your beautiful equipment became Chernobyl, despite the fact that you can contract HPV using a condom, just as I did. It simply infects the uncovered areas, and If you're unaware that you're infected, and are masturbating etc, you'll spread it like wildfire. You might even tell said ex-lover about ACV treatment, and direct them to my review.

That's all. Like I said, I thought my life was over. I was skeptical, because I am a pragmatic scientist. I don't tend to put faith in 'natural' remedies in general, but now my only regret is going to the doctor at all. They won't help you. The treatments available are ineffective and take a very long time. My relief today, is palpable. The sun is shining, and so am I. If you're reading this, and losing your mind and feel like crying, just know I wish I could hug you right now. I would tell you to look at me, and settle down. I would tell you its not a big deal at all. I would tell you that you're a good person and that these things happen, and that in a week or two, you'll be right as rain. If you're scientific like I am, you might even almost enjoy this process because it is quite interesting.

Godspeed. Chin up. Small *bumps* in the road--pun intended.

Well written. Thanks. I'm not trying to be a know-it-all, but I am in a similar situation as you. Endurance athlete, super clean diet w/ plenty of supplements. Several tbls of coconut oil daily as well and still found a few bumps on the penile shaft. The only thing I used was Apple Cider Vinegar soaked into an unrolled cotton ball and wrapped it around. Then, sealed it in plastic wrap. Day one was fine. Lots of progress, no pain. Day 2, PAIN!!!!!! But the pain subsided to low roar after 20 minutes. The treatment is still applied though because I really want to be healthy. It grosses me out mentally. But thank you for sharing the emotional aspect as well. I have learned to relax. It's not horrible. It's very common, and this can be treated for about $3.00. Things could be way worse. Cheers!

How much ACV do you ingest in a day? Have you had an outbreak since? I've read that once you hit the 6month mark with NO new outbreaks you're considered virus free. Do you believe this theory? Thanks so much for sharing your story and treatment. It was actually inspiring haha

Hi, sorry this may be a little gross. I'm really hoping someone can read this and answer asap. So recently I found bumps on the lips of my vagina and I knew the warts were back. I also realized there was clusters internally too. So I research and used a tampon filled it with acv. I left it for about an hour for two days. Let me tell you it burned like hell! But on my second day I realized that it started to bleed on the inside and I'm having yellow ooze or discharge coming out. Including one or two warts. Is that normal??? Please help! I'm scared right now and I don't have the insurance to pay for this. I also used a cotton ball for the lips area they just turned white nothing else or raised it up. Should I keep going is it working? What's supposed to happen after it turns white?

Hey guys, I am extremely happy to share this. I been super depress lately that my Gw are back and it's internally and extrernally. Like seriously I laid in bed for three days straight being downer. I been doing a lot of research and everyone said Apple Cider Vinegar aka apple cider vinegar will help. I was a bit iffy about it and didn't want to believe. Thought my life was over well don't be. Seriously don't let it bring you down and think of all the negatives. Life is too short to have these suckers beat you down. Anyways so I tried Apple Cider Vinegar the first night held it for an hour and let me tell you it burned like a mother........ Then internally I soaked a tampon. And seriously I wanted to cry. Iongest I held it was 30 min to an hour. It burned like no tomorrow. So after that I repeated the process an hour later. I would say I did this til 2 am on a saturday. The next morning I just realized my internal was just gross it's like working but just yellow discharge. That I'm not sure if it's normal which I will get it check. Externally near my lips vulva its still the same no change. So I repeat the process twice that day and the whole day I was in pain. But after stopping and letting it heal for couple of hours it started to show improvement. Whenever I used the bathroom and wipe I see it on my toilet paper. I can't explain how excited I am. Like it's actually working. I am so happy right now and this is at 4 am. I want to spread this good news to everyone! It's works it hurts but it's going away! I also take vitamin c and folic pills on the side. Smile be happy know it'll go away. I believe it.

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

Apple Cider Vinegar WORKS!!!! Like many others here I was horrified to discover a cluster wart on my labia. I immediately started using Frankincense Essential Oil on it and since I wasn't seeing results added Tea Tree Oil to my routine. I dabbed the oils on straight, several times a day for 2 weeks with ZERO results.

I then came here and decided to forego the oils and start using a q-tip dipped in Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. I dipped the tip into the ACV and then held it to the wart for several minutes a few times a day. Within a day change was visible. After 3 days the wart is much smaller and the ACV now stings with application so I cannot hold it to the location for more than a few seconds. I continue just dabbing it on for as long as I can tolerate.

I am happy to report that in just a few days of working on it with ACV - it is almost gone. A considerable difference in effect from the essential oils that can typically remove warts but had no impact on GWs. Apple Cider Vinegar works to get rid of GWs. YES!!!!

Ok. So I been battling warts for quite sometime now. I had couple I got rid of and also had some in my anal. I used Apple Cider Vinegar and found it very painful going in my butt but kept it up. I have learned that they spread easily, when one is forming in different spot it becomes itchy. I made a mistake of washing with soap which made my problem worse, also finding out that they thrive on moisture so now I have to keep the area clean & dry while doing treatment. I want to give up but I want them gone so I have to keep going with treatment. I dont know what to get by posting this other than to vent. I dont know what else to do. Acv is very painful but I know it works as it got rid of other ones before. Is there a treatment out there that will give me faster results.

Been trying the Apple Cider Vinegar for two wks now or more. Not working. I have one small lump not going away. I dab it with Apple Cider Vinegar a few times a day. I tried the cotton with paper tape, but the tape won't stick. I tried an Apple Cider Vinegar pad, but burned the other area too. Why is it helping you people and not me? I been using the tea tree oil and the oregano too. I had 3 worts. Two went away, but took 3 wks, the one is still there. What am I doing wrong? I've even been drinking olive leaf tea for a few days now to kill the virus inside., but one still there. At least others have not popped up. I am using the caster oil too. Nothing seems to work. It does not turn black like you all say.It just stays the same. The itching did stop a long while ago, so maybe no itching is a good sign? What am I doing wrong?

I came across your comment, I will explain the way I do it to you. The main important things you will need are cotton balls, Apple Cider Vinegar and most important medical tape. You take a tiny piece of cotton ball dab in vinegar then place directly on wart, then place another cotton ball on top of the tiny piece. Tape it down with two or three tape pieces. Leave for at least the whole night every night for 7 days. Remember 12 hours then reapply. It will turn really white then eventually black and fall off. If you reapply every 6 hours it will work faster. Once it falls off apply one more night just too make sure it doesn't come back. Your skin will form a purple barrier around a black dot which means it's enough on to the next wart. Should take one 1 week of treatment if it comes back do it again and pray it goes away.

This was my issue for a while until I bought ACV capsules and took two a day along with applying it topically. They were gone in two weeks and have never came back. I take one capsule a day now. That's it! Buy them on Amazon.

I've had success killing a wart which was on the side of one of my big toes, & now on my foreskin. I kept raw Apple cider vinegar in a shot glass with a cotton wool bud / q-tip soaking for the few days I've used it. Only dabbed on morning & night, & kept moist for 10-15 minutes at night before sleeping. Day 3 & as you can see in the photo, the little black dots are the dead roots of the wart. I'll continue for as long as it's still apparently there. I've also been drinking one to two glasses of Apple cider vinegar in water, eating fermented sour krout, & having 150ml of Kombucha daily.I've tried aldara ointment in the past, & cryotherapy to no avail.

Apple cider vinegar KILLS warts. Just be persistent, & don't stop too early. Only very little stinging pain too. Don't waste your time going to the doctors, just head to the supermarket & get some ACV!

Omg, what a miracle. A few weeks ago I found a white growth on my upper vulva area. It didn't look like a traditional wart, but after extensive research I came to the conclusion that was really all it could be. Then a smaller one appeared above it. I started using the ACV two days ago. Left it on about an hour the first night - on a cotton ball to the affected area. Yesterday I alternated the ACV with a mixture of olive oil and tea tree oil to disinfect and soothe the area, letting it air out in between. The AVC didn't burn at first but as the growths shrunk it stung quite a bit at first. I did trim off the top of the growths with tiny scissors, they stuck out far enough to do that. However, that was probably not smart to do. I just couldn't stand them any more. Less than two days later the bigger growth is completely gone and smaller one almost gone. I have been using aquaphor at night to help the irritated skin heal. So grateful for this site and everyone sharing their experiences! I plan to follow up with a full pap smear at the doctor in a few weeks, but was just too humiliated to go in and have the growths looked at. Thanks to Earth Clinic!

I was recently diagnosed with HPV and found a small bump near my vaginal opening/perineum. Knowing it could be genital warts given my recent diagnosis, I immediately went to the GYN, but they told me there was nothing they could do at the onset. Rather, they wanted me to wait and see if any more appeared over the next month and if so, I should call them and schedule an appointment. I was devastated and annoyed to hear that I needed to wait and see. I waited and eventually a couple of more very small bumps appeared and yet again, I was told to wait. Thankfully, I caught a PA in the hallway who would advised of all the negatives of Aldara and the other treatments. She suggested that I look into holistic methods. I found this website and given all the success stories, I decided I had nothing to lose.

The first night (Day 1) I partially soaked a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and slept with it tucked around the small bumps. I'm so very grateful that I did because the next morning I woke up with the skin white like everyone else described....but more importantly, I found many more small bumps that were clearly under the skin waiting to break the surface. I cleaned the area with some soap and water, changed the cotton ball and allowed it to sit all day.

That night (Day 2) I did the same procedure but this time, lots of the skin from the top of the bumps came off and it exposed pink skin underneath and you could even see the inside of some of the warts (if you've ever had a cold sore, it looked like the inside of one of those). Needless to say, this was the first time it actually burned, but even then, if you go into it expecting the burning sensation, it actually won't be that bad. I just braced myself and laid down until the burning subsided and left the cotton ball there for the rest of the night. The next morning because the skin was so pink, I took off the cotton ball and allowed it to dry out.

Followed the same procedure for Day 3.

Today is Day 4 and almost all of the warts are gone with the exception of two of the bumps that were under the skin on my labia which are now white and look as if they are healing after finally breaking the surface. All the others are gone.

I personally suggest Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother (found mine on Amazon but most supermarkets sell it as well). For soap, I used liquefied Black African Soap with Tea Tree Oil because both ingredients are heralded for healing skin problems as well (can be found at most Whole Foods and Trader Joes). I never experienced the skin blackening (possibly because I have brown skin - I'm mixed), however my skin did get very pink which I think the Black African Soap helped to soothe. Although the burning wasn't too bad for me, I think if your skin is sensitive or the burning sensation is too much, you should definitely do 1/2 water and 1/2 apple cider vinegar or only leave the cotton ball on for 20 minutes or so. Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences and helping naturally and quickly defeat this!

Hello everyone! I keep reading statements about how Apple Cider Vinegar worked perfectly with everyone and the burning sensation was association with the application of acv. My case is that I have small warts on the base of penile shaft and I bought the Apple Cider Vinegar and dapped a qtip in the bottle and then on my shaft and felt absolutely nothing! Can someone please tell me what I did wrong? Hopefully someone will answer and help me out here.

Mine only burned once I reapplied more Apple Cider Vinegar after having a soaked cotton ball on the infection for an hour. It wasn't too bad at that point tho. I left another over night and reapplied again in the morning. The warts were white at that point and much more sensitive and then it burned A LOT.

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.

Hello, Mary! What an awesome review!

My warts are on vaginal opening and when it starts getting black and smaller, I experience bleeding from the warts (ACV peels it off and I started to see pink skin as on normal vagina) also I experience a discharge, white liquid smells like medication come with the blood and black seeds, it's getting better now. I would like to know if you experience any of this, I would be grateful if you can reply me to this matter, God bless you :)

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.

NOTE: Do not use one wad of a cotton ball for too long. See my daily description for info.

I'm going to keep a running log here for people of my experience. All of the information on here is awesome though. So, my story....

I finally was able to meet a super awesome woman who I met back in May. We did have sexual contact a couple of times. Now, I do clean down "there", but I never noticed anything until about two weeks after we did have sex.

I looked down and there was a dark, mole like, near the top of my penis shaft on the side. So I looked underneath and had about 10 warts down there. I freaked and couldn't sleep. I was worried about the relationship more than myself. I ended up going to the urgent care center and they diagnosed it as HPV. I also took a full STD screening which was clear.

Mid May 16: They prescribed me Aldara. The first week, I put too much on and burned my skin, which still is kinda messed up. I haven't kept up on putting Neosporin or whatever on it, but it did get much better while I used it. I started to put much less Aldara on after that.

So over the next few weeks, of using Aldara, I didn't notice it doing much. I read though that it could take up to 16 weeks. I continued to use it every other day. I didn't skip a day though. Week after week, a few more popped up. I did notice that the two larger ones did start turning white. I was cool with that as I seen something happen finally. Over the next couple of weeks, I noticed a few more pop up here and there. Now they were more of the flat type, slightly raised about a few mm to a cm in size. They were the darker type.

I decided and went to my GP about week 5. I had him give me another complete screening which came back negative for everything. I asked him what I should do about this other than the Aldara. He said just take a multivitamin and they eventually go away. He was not concerned in any way though. I take one multivitamin and a special Vitamin E which contains Alpha Beta, Gamma, and some other kind of Vitamin E had have been since I seen I had these GW.

I'm at week 8 right now and have seen no improvement other than the couple larger stay white. That led me here...

So Day 1: I picked up ACV (Bragg) and took some cotton balls and taped those, soaked, but not dripping, then taped them on my shaft. Within a couple of hours, the few that I tested it on, turned white. I switched the cottonball with new ones every 3-4 hours. After I got home, I took off the dressing and they kinda turned back the old color although much lighter. I just applied another dressing and will update tomorrow. I did not experience any pain whatsoever. I heard it's hit or miss if you do get pain. Till tomorrow folks..... I really hope this goes away quickly as others have had. I also had put Aquaphor on the "good skin" to prevent any kind of burning.

Day 2: Early Morning: I woke up in pain not from the dressing, but putting the tape on too tight because of having a dream.... Anyways... I took it off which was about 2 am. When I woke up to my surprise a few had fallen off and a few were black, the rest were grayish. I lightly scrubbed down there, and it seemed to knock out another. Just pink skin underneath. I put another dressing on around 5am. This is working :)

Night: Decided to take off the one cotton ball as section about a dime size was getting eaten away. Sounds worse than what it was, but stung a bit. Let everything dry out for the night

Day 3: Decided to just cover a few stragglers. Continued to put ointment on the damaged section which is repairing itself as it is turning white.

Day 4: The couple of GW's that were covered were black and scabbed up. I decided to apply the small cotton pieces to those sections again. The section of skin where the Aldara ate away another section of skin was just about cleared up. Showering did remove a couple small stragglers. Also, I noticed a few more GW's (VERY SMALL) pop up in the morning. Those were on near the head. I was very careful not to put too much ACV near there. Those disappeared that night.

Day 5: Still waiting for the area that was damaged from the ACV to clear. The GW's that had scabbed over mostly fell off this morning.

I see everyone says the Apple Cider Vinegar gets rid of the warts, but my question is....is the person still contagious even after the warts are gone? I read that one is still contagious. Do you all have sex after the warts are gone and do you not spread it? Or are we cursed for the rest of our lives and never having to have sex again even if the warts are gone? I'm confused here.

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!

Hmm when I first saw the growing of this small embarrassing things started crying and I thought I was HIV positive wo I did a test and was negative. Now I asked why this. I Googled and I had a little idea about my worry HPV what is that too!!?. I was scared started seeking for help online again and I saw a lot of medications. Decided to get myself one but purchasing it was hell. I couldn't get them. Now came back online and fortunately!! For me I saw this page. I did want to waste time all I needed is for a day break so I try. At first I was a bit worried cos I thought am a black person and so it doesn't work on us. I bought me ACP and Castor oil only and came home. I didn't eat or relax cos I was in a hurry. Quickly I washed my vagina with soap anf clean water and dried with a clean towel. I dabed my tissue paper in the ACV and used it as a pad cos my warts was in my entire opening and and my majora. hmmmmm it burned like crazy!!!!!!!! Quickly all turned white wow. Later I applied my castor oil to soothen my skin not knowing it was also going to remove them. Oops applying vinegar and after the burning a castor oil application I tell u the warts were just sooo soft and falling off after each wipe when I urinate or bathing. Its been 3 days only and and wholeeeeeee wow no more warts hurraayyyyyyy!!!! We say something in our language " biribi woho ampa" meaning "indeed something is in the world" Thanks sooooo much for this page. God bless you.
