Top Home Remedies for Genital Warts

Castor Oil

I have genital warts on my pubic area (none on my genitals) and have used organic castor oil to get rid of them. Applied 2 or 3 times a day using a cotton ball. Usually within 2 weeks they turn black and flake off. It's a bit messy, but a thin coating is contained by underwear.

ACV, Aspirin, Vit E, Tea Tree Oil

Hey guys. I am so grateful I came across this website/GW forum. In return, I thought I would tell you my experience and what worked for me. A couple months ago I had hard, skin colored bumps down there that appeared out of nowhere. I haven't had many sexual partners, nor have I been sexual active in about half a year. I couldn't understand what was happening. Went to walk in clinic and got diagnosed with GW's. I was embarassed and horrified. If you do your research, you will come to understand that this condition is fairly common and I could have had it from 4 partners ago, you're not able to tell. A lot of people have it and don't even know. Until your body can't fight it anymore and perhaps an event in your life such as high stress will finally bring them out. So, I picked up my prescription, condyline. I applied it to the area twice daily, 3 days in a row. Watts turned white but no sign of progression. I thought there has to be something else out there when I came across this website.

My home remedy: stopped applying condyline. I made a paste of 2 extra strength aspirin (crushed), tea tree oil, vitamin e oil and apple cider vinegar until consistent. I applied it on a few pieces of gauze and put it down on my spots for 20 minutes. It was highly uncomfortable and painful, as in burning. Took it off and carefully cleansed myself. For the next couple days I was in pain. I burned myself. Good news was that all the warts were wiping off until there were none! I was ecstatic and my region healed from the burning. (I applied aloe Vera a few times a day and vitamin e oil to ease the pain). I think because I used condyline right before that treatment, that also burned Mr it was a lot at once so that's why I burned myself).

Also tip: the Apple Cider Vinegar makes all the warts turn white and you can see all the regions affected that may not have popped out yet. Extra precautions: take apple cider vinegar tablets daily. I take 2-4. (This isn't new to me). Now and then drink a glass of water in the morning with 1-2 tbsp. Of Apple Cider Vinegar as well.

Go to your local health store and pick up immune system strengthening pills, do a trial. Your immune system needs to be strong again! Apply tea tree oil every now and then. Eat healthy and exercise. You gotta do what you gotta do. Healthy lifestyle, keep taking precautions and keep that happy level up and stress low. Now chin up! You got this.

Bee Propolis

I was diagnosed with genital HPV last year. I have tried everything from herbal supplements to ACV to Aldera. Although I saw some improvement my condition was not cured completely. I went back to the doctor a few weeks ago and she didn't know why I had a persistent infection and suggested laser surgery. I decided before I resorted to surgery I would do my own research and see if I could find an alternative. I read a medical study on propolis and I thought I would give it a shot. Since HPV is an infection in the skin I decided to apply it directly to the skin and take oral supplements. I have been taking two tablets of bee pollen with meals and two tablets of propolis between meals along with folic acid, B12 and vitamin D. I bought a container of royal jelly/propolis/bee pollen mixture. It's mixed with raw honey so the consistency is very thick and kind of sticky. I've been applying the paste to the affected area every night before bed. I have seen an amazing improvement! For the first few days my skin turned red and the bumpy areas became very sore. After about a week my skin started peeling and the warts began falling off or disappearing. I have been using the propolis for about two weeks now and I will continue until my condition is cured. I was very depressed and hopeless about my situation but I am so excited that something is working!

Genital Wart Advice

ARMAGEDDON: THE CURE

If you really want to diminish HPV and Genital Warts, you must prepare for war, with the virus of course... So strap your helmit on and go get some ammo. You need to infiltrate and attack from not only outside, but inside as well. Sure ACV, Freezeaway and acid will take out the warts you have now, but what about the virus silly? Hit this virus on all fronts till it says screw it im outta here; White Flag. This is for people that want to be HPV and wart free, free and fast and back to normal.

Go to CVS and buy the following:

1. VITAMIN C TABLETS 500mg

Take these 5 times a day, you seriously need to overdose on vitamin C, the key element to the immune system.

2. GARLIC OIL PILLS

Do not waste your time with odorless garlic pills, they will not work and are essentially useless, You want the smelliest, potent oil pills out there. Odorless pills have the essential antioxidants removed.

Take these 8 times a day you will hate the burps, but you will love what theyre doing.

3. DAILY MULTI-VITAMIN "Daily Multiple" Plus Minerals

One a day? no way. Try 3 a day. This has the building blocks that will deminish the virus. VIT D, VIT A, ETC.

4. FISH OIL PILLS

So far we've only mentioned the internal solutions, but fish oil is going to help with OMEGA 3's for the skin you're about to go to war with.

5. COMPOUND W WART REMOVING GEL

This is gonna be for the larger warts, this is the heavy cavilry. Take em out with this nuke.

APPLY THE FOLLOWING 3 TIMES A DAY

6. ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

APPLY WITH A CUE TIP: This is going to start peeling off layers of your epidermis like an onion. Its going to kill your warts.

7. 100% NATRUAL TEA TREE OIL

APPLY WITH A CUE TIP: follow up the apple cider vinegar with the tea tree oil, this stuff is amazing. You're warts are gonna smell good too. If theyre still there that is...

8. ORGANIC CASTOR OIL

APPLY WITH A CUE TIP: castor oil. Slab it around everywhere down there.

ALSO NOTE. STOP DRINKING ALCHOHOL. STOP SMOKING, ITS WORTH IT. trust me...

Salt Crystal Deodorant

HPV:

I've been learning on this site for almost two years now but have never been able to contribute anything until now. I am so elated to tell people that they can treat their warts at home, very inexpensively, fairly quickly, and almost painlessly.

The salt crystal that people use as a natural deodarant cured my hpv. I wet it and rubbed it on my warts, the same way I do when I use as a deodorant, just to be sure I would rub a little longer for warts. The warts were located outside of my vagina, and inside of my vagina but even if inside if they were visible and I could reach them with the salt i rubbed them with the salt. It did cause minor irritation and burning but it was nothing compared to the ACV and Oregano oil, and much faster than the castor oil treatment.

If the warts are in an area that's stays moist try and keep the area as dry as possible to avoid diluting the salt. If the warts seem to be stuborn or extremely large try pricking it with a toothpick, or rubbing it to irritate the skin.

I hope that this remedy works as well for others as it has for me.

Angie.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Tea Tree Oil, Elderberry

I used ACV and it removed my warts, but they returned. Frustrated, I looked into tea tree oil. I applied it with a q-tip two times a day. After a week they are gone. I also started taking 550mg of elderberry extract two times a day to help my body fight the virus. Hope this can help someone.

Genital Wart Advice

Posted by Jeff (Anaheim, Ca) on 08/09/2009

If everything has failed for you and the wart has returned after using ACV, Aspirin, and Castor Oil,

I recommend you try Elderberry extract and green tea extract together. I have been using it for 4 days topically and internally and seen really good results. I had one wart turn black. The other warts just shrank and are now below the skin and getting smaller the more times I use the drops. I also take a few drops under the tongue a few times a day. I think in 2-3 weeks I should be close to eliminated them all.

With ACV it was too painful and took a week just for it to heal. The elderberry and green tea method is painfree. Women will really like this method.

Both are antivirals and anti-cancer.

The brands I have been using are from Henry's Market:

Elderberry (sambucus nigra)
other ingrediants: grain alcohol (40-50% by vol), deionized water

Green Tea (90%polyphenols, 50% EGCG)
Other ingrediants: deionized water, vegetable glycerin, honey, luo han guo

I put it on almost every 3 hours. It seems to get absorbed into the skin very quickly. Elderberry contains alcohol which may help the absorption process.

Good luck.

HPV Vaccine

Posted by Rosy (Orlando, Fl) on 12/15/2008
★☆☆☆☆

WARNING!

Please do some research before you get any vaccine! HPV vaccines have horrible side effects, which have killed, and caused people life long disabilities. I don't believe that every woman over the age of 25 has been exposed to HPV. I have had tests done, including blood work, and I am over the "limit" and show no signs of this illness. I would suggest checking for a correlation between your outbreaks and things you eat, use, or are exposed to. Herpes outbreaks react to environmental factors, and HPV ones might also.

Banana Peel

Posted by Anonymous (Washington, DC) on 04/19/2008

Not to lower the tone... I contracted genital warts some years ago and underwent cryotherapy and used Imiquimod to clear them up. And they disappeared - or so I thought. Recently one reappeared. The horror, the horror. It was tiny, I'll admit, and I thought I would try banana skin before going through the abject humiliation and misery of seeing my doctor. Today I went and bought bananas and applied a little piece of skin to the wart... (Not in the supermarket, obviously...) After five hours, maybe even less, I CAN'T FIND THE WART. I was very sceptical prior to trying this, I confess to not having had much faith at all. If you're reading this and wondering if all these stories are written by quacks or nutcases - they're not. I've never written something like this before, but something that works so well, so easily, has to be shared. If I'd only known all those years ago. Thanks for the help!

Tea Tree Oil

I had a cluster of genital warts (about 15-20) that showed up on my pubic region about five months ago. I never looked into any cures until a few weeks ago. I started using undiluted ACV soaked cotton balls and taping them to the area the warts were in for about an hour to two hours before bed. This helped start to fade away the warts but it only worked to an extent. I finally found people talking about tea tree oil. So I bought some undiluted tea tree essential oil from GNC and I took a Q tip and soaked it in it. I then applied the tea tree oil to each of the warts every night for about five nights now. I'm amazed at the fact that half of them are completely gone, literally they have vanished from my public area. And the other ones that remain are fading away and drying out and scabbing over ready to fall off. This is an extremely effective method for removing warts due to HPV. I will note that I did NOT dilute the tea tree oil before applying. And I made sure the q tip really rubbed in the area well. And I left it on the entire night every night. Hope this helps some people. I would start with the ACV so your skin gets used to the harshness of the vinegar before applying the tea tree oil.

Aloe vera gel for genital warts:

Hydrogen Peroxide

Posted by Marina (California) on 03/29/2018

I've had a genital wart for months. I had used Apple Cider Vinegar (daily on a piece of cotton taped to it as long as possible and renewing it at least once per day) to successfully treat a plantar wart on my middle toe, but that took more than a month to work, maybe two (I wasnt' counting).

Tried Apple Cider Vinegar for a week or two on the genital wart but saw no change. It was also difficult to do it practically, because of the location and the fact that the cotton would not stay stuck in place, and I felt weird going about with my genitals smelling like acv.

I read about H2O2 on warts so I went for it. I used 35% food grade H2O2, undiluted, on a cotton swab, three (or sometimes four) times a day, touching JUST the wart, VERY carefully, not touching the surrounding healthy skin. I waited 5-10 minutes for the H2O2 to dry on it before putting my panties on. It did sting quite a bit especially at first and it would turn the wart white for quite a while. (The Apple Cider Vinegar had also stung a lot on my plantar wart in the beginning.) The stinging went down as the treatment progressed. I had the feeling, with both wart treatments, that the sting had to do with the treatment working, but that could just be my idea.

The wart went away in four days! It gradually turned rough, like a scab and then fell off. It left a very small paler looking, bump, like a little gentle round scar which I kept on treating for a couple of days. It stung way less when the wart was gone.

This happened a few days ago so I have no long term results to report for now. But I'm ecstatic to have the wart gone.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL when handling 35% H2O2! It is quite caustic, and if it falls into the eyes it can cause blindness. I knew about that when I did the treatment, I read several other people's reports on warts using full strength 35% H2O2 how they were successful and I decided to try. It will turn your finger skin white if it touches it and that goes away after a couple of hours. Wash off with a lot of water.

If it seems too hardcore for some people I've read that lower concentrations of it can also be successful.

I'm also taking it internally and it's going fine, I'm now at 7 drops per day in a half glass of distilled water. I've got no big news there cause I'm basically healthy, but I've had a bit of diarrhea, which I've read can be a sign of detoxing.

Oh, and I don't care if pharmacy-bought H2O2 is cheaper, I'd never put that stabilized stuff in me. In the long run food grade is REALLY not that expensive! A quart bottle at 20$ will last you forever, and if you dilute it to 3% then it's even more!

Banana Peel

I had warts on my vagina and came across this article of curing warts with banana peel. All I needed was a medical tape..tea tree oil and banana peel. I washed the area and dried the tiny lil things there...i applied a lil oil on them and yes they burned I then put lil drops of oil on the peel and placed on the warts the whole night. It would burn becoz of tea tree oil but after an hr or so the pain goes away....i kept it the whole night and in the morning I noticed the smaller ones had even disappeared n the larger one turned brown and the size was even half.....i repeated it the following night and the next morning..almost everything was gone...it only took 3 nights to clear the vaginal warts using banana peel and tea tree oil. Im really greatful for this remedy...i also suffered from yeast infections but when I took the banana peel and oil remedy.. everything vanished.....Banana peel rily works and its very efficient.. I would recommend this remedy if you have similar problem.

Hydrogen Peroxide

I found out I had genital warts about seven months ago and nothing worked. I tried cryotherapy five times, aldera, tea tree oil, garlic, ACV, and witch hazel. I decided to try hydrogen peroxide (8% food grade) and noticed a difference the next day after applying it at night with a cotton ball. I've been using it twice a day for a little over a week now and the warts are almost gone. Cheap, fast results, and no side effects that all of the other methods had. I know you can't cure genital warts but I definitely feel so much better knowing that if I do have another outbreak, I can use hydrogen peroxide as a quick remedy.

Bloodroot

HI ALEX, , , , , , , , several years ago I bought black salve to treat a skin cancer and with more research got spooked and stopped. A Natropath friend used it for cancer and ended up with large holes in his back, but the cancer was gone. He said he learned that he left the salve on too long.

So, I cannot contribute much to your situation except to caution you to go slow.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Hi, Heard this second hand, hope it helps. A friend had an outbreak of Genital Warts and when to the md first, then came home and soaked in a tub of Hydrogen Peroxide. Not sure if she pre-medicated for pain, I would test this on a small area first. She did this everyday as often as possible and on her return check up she had no more warts. She had had them outside and inside of the vagina and they were totally gone.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Aloe Vera Gel

Posted by Danielle (Manchester, Uk) on 07/20/2013
★★★★☆

For those who are experiencing irritation and swelling after using Apple Cider Vinegar I'd recommend aloe vera gel. I used it on both my anal region and the inside of my labia/opening to my vagina. It is incredibly soothing and I applied it after toilet trips, I massaged it into the sore areas and then left a cotton wool pad with some on placed on top. Aloe vera gel has antiviral properties so in itself it can aid the removal/healing of genital warts. Although used on its own constantly it would take a while I found that for those days when I needed a break from pure ACV, aloe vera gel did work perfect for me. My warts were gone within a week might I add. Unfortunately I also think I have some inside my vagina and although I'm waiting to see my GP, does anybody know a home remedy that I can try for those? I was considering Apple Cider Vinegar but because they are inside I'm scared? Thanks and remember vitamins vitamins vitamins!

Alum

Alternative to ACV much easier and less painful.

I am lucky in that I have only had the odd isolated wart appear. ACV did not work for me! From the other posts on here obviously many have had success with this remedy but for me it just inflamed the whole area and turned the wart into an open sore that healed back to a wart. Fortunately I found a remedy on this site for treating cold sores which has worked beautifully for genital warts as well.

First put some ice in a plastic bag and hold it against the wart(s) for about 15-20 minutes. Virus's don't like cold apparently.

Next take a gob of toothpaste, sprinkle some alum powder (available in the spice section of the supermarket) and mix with a q-tip. Plaster the wart (s) with this paste.

After doing this for a couple of days the wart(s) should dry into scabs at which point I apply some vitamin E oil to speed healing. Hope this works as well for you.

BHT

How many of you has BHT cured you of your warts?. I posted here a year or two ago about the Hep-C and Venereal warts both of which are gone. I have not used anything else except BHT 2 180 mg caps twice a day then I cut to once a day. I see so many posts saying they are trying it but not as many as I would of thought say the warts are gone. Do not worry about the time for some it may take longer.. I can not empathize enough.. it works.

I have recently crushed BHT up and added it to virgin olive oil and applied it to my elbows and knee for plaque psoriasis and that seems to help plus I use a lamp from the 40s-50- but don't know which is doing what, but whatever it works.

BHT in my opinion is not a hit or miss, it works but I say that with the caveat peoples metabolism are different perhaps they use other things which deter from the BHT. But the reason I decided to add my post here I was sick and tired of people saying, take this with two of those then drink some of that and a hour later stand on your head for fifteen minuets then drink a glass of water upside down and eat three apples. This is it take it the way Oscar says and that's it , If your viral levels go undetectable please let others know and that will help others that were once as desperate as you were. On the other hand if for some reason it doesn't work for you cone post that.

Ibuprofen

I am writing to share an alternate remedy I used. I was Around 20 (1990s) years old when I first learned I had GW and was really scared. I however didn't wait and went and seen the doctor. Doctor confirmed and started to use boric acid (?) I had a few warts running up the shaft of my penis the pain for me then was immense. Nevertheless the warts came back. And started to spread. I was freaking out. As panic would dictate I was desperate to try anything. For whatever god guiding reasons I had a massive headache and found a bottle of ibuprophen and was just reading the uses, headache, inflammation etc... The key word that got me was inflammation... What the hell I thought to myself might as well double up. So I took high doses of ibuprophen. They were orange 400mg doses, so I took 4 pills for 1600mg with milk! I took 1600mgs everyday for 7 days. Could've been less as this was so very long ago. But after a week I started to notice they were going away and has disappeared. Years later I caught on the news that something in the coating of ibuprohen Helps with GW. I figured I got lucky... It's been 23 years since that time and never had a single case or outbreak and has never returned. I am now Married and with kids. Of course, I decided after that ordeal to change my promiscuous ways. Never slept with another woman until I thought she was the one... I have no clue why I'm even writing this after so many years, but woke up with this subject on my mind and wanted to share. Hopeful this can help someone before trying some painful surgical procedure or acidic method. I'm no doctor or herbal Methodist, only a person sharing his experiences.... Good luck
