Tea Tree Oil

I am trying tea tree oil for genital warts. I've had acid and podofilin at the Dr.Office but it hurts like you can't believe and it never really cleared the warts and they just came right back. I have used tea tree oil for four days now. I bought a spray bottle and just spray it on them after I shower and leave it on all day. The first day it stung a little but not nearly as bad as in these. Office. So far it looks like that are shrinking to about 1/2 the size as when I started. I can't believe this might work and will send updates. So much easier than in the dr office and much less painful and humiliating. Doctors need to spread the word about this. None of my dr.s have ever suggested this.


How to Diagnose GW with Vinegar

If anyone's ever unsure if their bump on their genitals is a wart or not, just apply vinegar. If it turns white it is definately a genital wart. I was told this by a doctor.

How to Diagnose GW with Vinegar
Posted by Cory (Usa) on 02/05/2018

Ok. I want to say thank you to all who have posted their experiences. It helped a lot during this awful process. I'm still treating. I lost count of days. I do know it's been a little over a week now. I've been targeting two clusters. One below the shaft, and one on my inner thigh... Next to the sack.. I've been going downstairs as often as possible and soaking a cotton ball in acv, and applying to the warts. Maybe 20-30 mins every couple hours. No treatment at night. I'm sure it would make things go faster, but I'm not duct taping my balls. One cluster is down to craters in my skin. Still treating. The other cluster by my thigh doesn't seem too affected by the treatment. I'm going to go another week on it. The first cluster took about a week. Right when I was ready to stop, they turned dark red/black. Keep with it. After the first goes, it feels so liberating. Like yes, this stinky stuff actually works... Yes! Anyways, good luck guys/girls. Share your stories and help another.


Banana Peel
Posted by Anon (Ny) on 06/09/2020

I am reading this today, and I have had genital warts since I was a teen. I have tried just about everything the doctor has recommended and most of it has not worked. I have an appointment set up to discuss surgery. I am going to cancel now that I have read all the positive responses. I will update this post during and after the treatment. For the first time in my life I have real hope that these can be fixed by this solution.

ACV, H2O2, supplements, vitamin E, tea tree oil, aspirin, squirt bottle for water

Not sure which of this exactly worked but it was probably the ACV.

Directly treated the warts with just ACV (for Day/Night 1 and 4) and a mix of ACV with some vit E, tea tree oil, and aspirin (Day/Night 2 and 3). Soaked a cotton ball and pad with this and applied on the warts. There was a very large clump of warts on me so I just surrounded the whole area with the ACV/ACV mixture. I noticed that it burned really badly the first time but a lot, lot more so when I began the ACV + vit E + TTO + aspirin. I'm not sure if it burned more because of the other stuff or because the skin was just burning the more I exposed it to ACV.

I would try to tape this on me and leave it on the night or leave it for hours on the day. I used a cotton ball soaked with H2O2 before and after applying the ACV and other stuff. I would let my skin breathe at other times though. Anyway it looked really bad, one of the warts turned black after the second night. Afterwards it just looked so strange, like grayish white, and I wasn't really sure if the ACV was making the skin worse or increasing the warts' size because it looked a lot worse every time.

Eventually I got super discouraged after the 4th night so I decided to just wait for my doctors' appt which was 2 days after that. I just stuck with using a soaked cotton ball to prevent bacteria from spreading. When I went to the doctors, she told me she didn't really see active warts. I told her I was prescribed aldara but it was hardly working so I used the Apple Cider Vinegar treatment instead.

Initially she thought the aldara caused my skin to look bad, but after I told her I stopped using aldara since it was quite ineffective for me, she thought I might have had herpes because my skin looked really bad. I told her it might just be the ACV treatment but she was quite surprised since she doesn't think the ACV could do this skin damage. After about 2 days from the Doctors' appointment, my skin looks completely normal now and no sign of any warts. It's been almost a week now and still no sign of warts.

I got my test results back and tested negative for STDs, including herpes. I would have to go again in a few weeks to get re-checked for herpes but I highly doubt it was herpes, I really think it was just skin damage from ACV. Nonetheless, my skin looks completely healed. Totally time for treatment (about 4 days) + healing (4 days) so only a little over a week. I'm really happy with the results. I was so miserable about having warts but I'm glad that I tried these things. At first it seemed like it wasn't working, just made my skin worse, but the healing time was so short so it's fine. Although others reported black things/seeds/warts falling off, I didn't really notice this (maybe they did but didn't look like them when I washed them off). But it DID work so even though it seems like you have different results (like how I did), don't give up. Make sure to also wash with H2O2 and to give your skin a break. Try it for a week and get checked after.

Another thing I did was a round of supplements. Not sure how effective this is (I ended up getting a cold right after seeing my doctor so not sure how well my immune system was holding up, lol) but it's worth a shot. Here are some of the supplements I had:

  • Vit A
  • Vit E
  • Vit D3
  • Folate and Vit B12
  • Vit C
  • Echinea goldenseal
  • Zinc
  • L-lysine
  • garlic
  • omega 3 fish oil

Hope this helps.


Apple Cider Vinegar, Coconut Oil, Tea Tree Oil
Posted by Lexi (Chicago, Il) on 01/17/2017

Hi guys!

First let's take a deep breath because as frustrating as this is, there is a way to treat this embarrassing problem. After tons of research I decided to go the organic apple cider vinegar route. This whole process took me about 4 days to a week (can't remember because this was a couple of months ago) the first day I soaked a cotton ball and covered the affected area and secured it with a ton of bandaids. The angling was definitely very difficult, but I made sure as best as I could that each one was getting exposed to the apple cider vinegar. I did this at night so I could just lay down and not have to worry about any shifting of the cotton balls. I kept it on for a few hours while sleeping until I couldn't bear it any longer. I repeated it the following night. The second time around I woke up in agony and found that I badly burned the skin that surrounding the warts, my butt cheeks where the vineagar dripped down to looked like scabbing. This was very painful. The warts definitely were a bit raw too. Since I was in so much pain I slathered the whole area with a mixture of coconut oil and tea tree oil.

From then on out I did not use the apple cider vinegar. I continued to use the mixture of coconut oil and tea tree oil. I Would slather it on very well in the morning and at night. I forgot to mention during this whole process I was taking a shower at night and would put the mixture on the clean skin.

In the morning I'd use a peroxide soaked cotton ball to clean affected area and put the mixture on.

My diet all throughout was immaculate. If you don't eat well then you're not serious about seeing results. I drank a green juice everyday. I didn't eat anything processed. I ate lean organic meats, but stuck with a mostly plant and fruit based diet. Every morning I eat a table spoon of coconut oil and a shot of the apple cider vinegar. Eating healthy for a week can be difficult for some but it's crucial!!!!

It's just one week for getting your lady parts looking good and back to normal. Be persistent and don't give up hope if you don't get immediate results. I felt defeated when the first three days didn't give me the same results as other reviews. Everyone's body is different. HAVE FAITH AND GOOD LUCK!!!

How exactly did you do the combination of coconut oil and tea tree oil? Do you know what the ratio was? Did you mix it together before applying or apply one and then the other?

Thanks!!

Genital Warts:

Newton's homopathetic wart compound works well. Also try boosting immune system by eating healthy.

Try apple cider vinegar, duct tape, raw foods, garlic, thunga, herbal baths, drink lots of water and avoid colas, drink organic carrot juice, stop smoking and drinking alcohol.


White Vinegar
Posted by Loko (London) on 07/12/2016
★★★☆☆

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

I found out I had genital warts a few days ago I hate doctors and my receptionist are nosy as hell so I usually avoid going on embarassing issues.

So obviously I do research seen what mother had in her cupboard and borrow the white vinegar......

l tried a few different techniques as a women I can't exactly sleep with it on with tape so this is what I do....

1. Antiseptic soap the area (hurts)

2. Take some cotton buds and place it on each wart for 10 minutes each night (try doing it twice a day of possible or for additonal time)

This will hurt not lying here. Burns and stings!

3. Keep repeating

Most of mine has gone now or very small, after alot of try and fail or sucess

Don't do this

I'm a women so don't leave overnight between you vagina or other areas as this will burn the skin and it hurts!

Yes it did get rid of 4 warts.....but also caused the area to be raw and painful.

Leave for longer than 30 minutes another big ouch but not half as bad as the above.

Keep the area clean, unless you have major dermatology issues like me you don't want to go running to the doctors for antibiotics due to imfection without an excuse or reason. So keep the area seriously clean

it's working here, but be very careful vinigar. Great on fish and chips and wart remover not very good at working out good skin and bad skin :)

Good luck

White Vinegar
Posted by Phoenix (Nashville, Tn) on 07/14/2016

I'm currently applying White Vinegar (WV) to my genital warts. I've been having them for about a year now. It started off as a very small bump underneath my skin just below my anus. I've been trying the waiting game and also toothpaste to make them go away. The toothpaste actually worked, I woke up one morning and they went from a pinkish color back to the flesh color and the swelling went down but I needed them gone. After months of research, I found this website about ACV but all I had was WV. I've read the stories and was convinced that it would work. It's burning but not too much. I'll post an update in a few weeks. Hopefully this works. I have faith.


White Vinegar
Posted by Loko (London) on 07/20/2016

It went well however after some small research im on alot of vitamins and shittake mushroom extracts (contains ahcc).

On top of white vinigar (really hurts) and burnt so badly I have had to lay off it for a few days to a week.

Major improvement only got 2/3 left literally took one out earlier and by god felt better :)

So yay :)


Elderberry Juice
Posted by Anon (Anon) on 05/29/2016
★☆☆☆☆

I bought a wine bottle size bottle of elderberry juice from Biotta at the grocer a few weeks ago. I had high hopes. I've had what I suspect is HPV for roughly six years. The female doc called it "a little irritation". With a look that said, "Don't let them talk you into a hysterectomy". I've never had elderberry before. It tasted like a combination of blackberries and tomatoes. Eww. Well, within two or three days of drinking half of it I found a lump on the inside of my lip and a black patch about a quarter inch circle on the opposite side inside my cheek. The black patch was gone the next day, I've been putting iodine on the bump but it hasn't seemed to change. I also developed an small itchy pimple on my arm and another on my hand. After I scratched the one on my arm and the next day it turned into a small wart. The other one I was careful not to scratch and put iodine on, and it looks like after a week or so it's shrinking. The center turned red, like a tiny vein. The one in my mouth had the same red vein until I put the iodine on it.

Obviously I can't say for sure it was the elderberry that caused it all, but it's looking that way. I dumped the other half of the bottle out. Just an FYI.


Oregano Oil

Hi I was diagnosed last yr in may with hpv2. I've read many different testimonies, about ways to suppress it, and even cure it. I'm determined to get rid of this disease like a lot of other ppl are too. My experience since I've been taking oregano oil. I read from a girl that she took it two times a day under the tongue not a lot or too long be aware it does burn a lot and two inches above the buttox because that's where the virus lives. I was doing it for a good second. I'm on my second bottle now my first bottle I still was having breakouts a little. I'm on my 2nd I admit I'm not taking it like I'm supposed to but so far its working. I may not take some for a while and I don't have any breakouts but I'm back on my daily routine an I'll be sure to post again my experiences. Good luck with all of you trying your best.

Prescription Medications
Posted by Dub (Massachusetts ) on 12/20/2015

So I got diagnosed with genital warts about 3 weeks ago. They were so small and painless. Then I started using imiquimod, and they started getting bigger and they hurt SOOOOO bad. Like I can't even go to the bathroom because they burn that bad. It's also hard to walk!! I've applied Apple cidar vinigar with a cotton ball and vaseline. Then I'd wash it off at the end of the night. It just hurts so bad and I don't know what to do!! I'm so sick of the pain. Does anybody have any recommendion that I can do for the pain??

Tea tree oil on GW works to an extent. I found a few on my vagina thinking they were skin tags and a yeast infection because I was really really itchy. I've been using tea tree oil mixed with aloe gel for a while and it's improved. But it has been about two months and I still have them.

I have had GW's for 4 yrs. now, and I have tried everything to get rid of them (Freezing, laser burning, topical immune cream, ACV, etc.). All of these got rid of the warts that were there but nothing got them to stay away. About every 2 months they come back. I also read about pumping up your immune system by taking supplements on here: (1000 mg of vitamin c, 1000 I.U. Of vitamin E, 25,000 I.U. of vitamin A (as beta carotene), 50 mg of zinc, 500 mg of lysine, an Echinacea and Golden Seal complex pill, a One-a-day multivitamin, and Garlic Supplement pills (2 at a time)) Which I have done for 2 and 1/2 months and they still keep coming back around the 2 month period. Everything I read says it takes about 2 yrs. for your body to adjust and keep out breaks away but I am at 4 yrs. and still getting them. Anyone else been like this and have found something to keep the outbreaks away? Any help would be appreciated. I am losing my mind over this.


Garlic, Apple Cider Vinegar, Tea Tree Oil
Posted by Bryanryan (Arizona) on 08/08/2015

Okay so I went a little "cure" crazy and tried everything in two days. My results are amazing. The doctor said go to a dermatologist as I was just diagnosed last week. He also said many may not want to treat me....I read that most medical cures didn't work anyway....and I'm not a fan of doctors in the first place. Sooooo I hit the net.....

1st thing I tried was mincing garlic and compressing the affected area which is the foreskin on the bottom side of my penis, directly beneath my urethra.......sensitive location.

Garlic hurts like nothing you can imagine....and then washing with water hurts as well.....not sure the garlic did anything but make me suffer but I won't rule it out as a starting point. I followed that up with fresh aloe I cut from my plant at home. I slept with aloe on the affected area. I added quite a bit and frequently.

The 2nd day (yesterday) I applied garlic first....ouch...then aloe to soothe. I then applied Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. It did not burn right away which means it is penetrating the warts....however the second application that night did start burning. I cleaned up applied several drops.of tea tree oil and aloe and went to bed. This morning I noticed the area around the warts had turned a purplish black....I thought I killed my penis.....all the while I'm drinking 3-4 tablespoons of of the AC vinegar diluted with water for the 2 days....

Tonight I exfoliated with a homemade oatmeal scrub soap bar and 80%of the affected area rubbed away entirely. It isn't 100% gone yet but it looks 1,000 times better and by tomorrow will likely be gone completely. It is now a bit raw from the exfoliation, I applied more aloe and I will see what tomorrow brings. You can likely skip the garlic.....don't get ACV in your urethra, feels like death....tea tree, ACV, and Aloe work and hurt much less than garlic....

Bloodroot
Posted by Alex (Australia) on 05/01/2015
★★★★☆

I believe I have HPV with a rash over the top. I have been to numerous medical people - as well as hospital who were unable to diagnose it. Anything from fungal, psoriasis, genital herpes has been the diagnoses given. What I had was a large extremely itchy and painful rash that extended from the lower front pelvic area, down through vaginal area through to anus.

After trying doctors medicines, over counter prescription, worming, cleansing, immune boosters, even rife frequencies for the diagnoses given I tried Bloodroot salve.

My sores reacted harshly and very painfully to this salve. I contacted the company who suggested I treat this seriously and use their Amazon deep tissue black salve - this is used for cancer. The sores became very painful, darkened scabs which covered areas up to 1 inch around. I have only treated a small area because it is incredibly painful and I can only tolerate so much at a time. Black salve is renowned for killing and removing cancer, warts, skin tags/things with roots. After the scabs came off a hole was left which at times was 2cm*2cm. A growth of 9mm round was removed from the clitoris leaving another deep hole. This growth was hiding more growths further below. I am currently treating them. The holes left were conducive of wart holes. The growths removed looked like warts. Now that the black salve has been there I can feel growths under the skin which was previously only a rash.

My female doctor was reluctant to give me a pap smear until this scab had gone. She treated it as an infection and still did not see there were growths. Still, the antibiotics she prescribed - and creams which I took so that I could get my pap smear sooner helped to weaken the scabs and pull them out quicker. I would not recommend this as they are supposed to stay on until they drop out. The cream broke the scab and the scab suppurated lots of clear liquid for days.

Before the rash I had no idea there were any sores, warts or anything underneath. I had been attempting to treat this and suffered with symptoms for probably 4 years.

If people are absolutely desperate to remove these warts, they are unsure of what something is and want to test an area for warts/cancer, and they are not responding to anything else, Black Salve is an option. Only try small areas at a time and consider pain relief. The pain is excruciating but for me it will be well worth it. It is the closest I have come to getting rid of the cause of the itch and finding out what was down there.

Black salve does not affect normal healthy skin. I tested it on healthy skin too. Black salve in my case did not create holes where there was merely a rash. It only left a hole where there was a growth with "roots". I will continue the burnoff.

In the meantime I will treat myself as though there may be something more serious. It is my understanding that HPV does not always display in results where there are problems.

A proper diagnosis and treatment is always best if you can get it.

Shitake Mushroom Extract, Turmeric
Posted by Wren (California, US) on 11/27/2014

Hey, so trying ACV, looks like its working, but so painful. I'm also taking ACV by mouth, lysine, vitamin c, zinc, olive leaf extract. Only on day 2ish and some are already white/black. I have done more research and found these two studies

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/141028122424.htm

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24289574

One talks about AHCC (Shitake Mushroom extract) as being effective in clearing HPV virus (as in curing the virus, which was previously thought impossible) when taken for six months orally.

The second one talks about turmeric in the clearance of HPV, has anyone tried either of these remedies with any success?

These are both scientific studies so I'm more likely to believe the results that just anecdotal evidence but was just curious if anyone on here had any success.

Apparently the turmeric, you make a paste with olive oil then apply and the ACHH is taken orally.

ACV is literally SO PAINFUL so if theres any other way, I would be super keen to hear.

This is the first outbreak I have ever had in this area, I had one early when I was pregnant but it cleared in three days with topical applications of tea tree oil

Thanks

Shitake Mushroom Extract, Turmeric
Posted by Lalaland (La, CA) on 11/28/2014

I don't know about HPV specifically, but since it is a virus, you could treat it like any virus. Look up olive leaf and oregano. I buy a bottle of olive leaf [buy a good quality product so it had enough of the applicable ingredients] and take a few capsules when I get run down...take 2-3 twice a day and its usually gone in 1-2 days.

Also, try applying Coconut Oil [CO] in the area. CO is antiviral, antibacterial, etc. I have used it to treat many small bumps, rashes, etc.

Last, try OIL PULLING...look up how to use it. You can find info here on EC or just do an internet search.

Best of luck!

Just some thoughts.
