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.

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

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.

I have recently discovered I have 3 small warts and I am going to start using the method everyone is suggesting, but I have one question. I am allergic to aspirin. Will this apply if I am just applying it and not swallowing? I really want to get rid of these things since they are making me feel horrible about myself. Is there any other pill I can use?
Thank you so much! Reply appreciated.

Hi Melanie. I don't know about the aspirin. But if you can stand the smell of Tea Tree Oil. I was able to get rid of a huge wart on the bottom of my foot in the crease where the big toe bends down. I applied TTO to a cotton ball every night when I went to sleep. Put the cotton ball on the wart and covered with athletic tap, then put a sock on. Next morning I would just remove, shower and go to work, again at night repeat....
This was a really big wart and had a black center. It went away within a couple weeks if I remember correctly. It got smaller and smaller and I don't even know when it actually come off. I just noticed when I went to apply TTO it was gone. No scar or soreness.
The smell of the Tea Tree Oil was awful though. It would bother me until I went to sleep.
Tea Tree Oil
Posted by Despicable Me (Netherlands) on 11/09/2014
Tea tree will not hurt.. Acv is still possible though.. I don't know what it is called in english, I think it is q-tips. Use q-tips to put Apple Cider Vinegar directly on the wart and let it sink in, and repeat until the wart is "filled" with acv
I'm fighting this war as well.. Haven't had sex in over 2 years due to this and it really messed up my self esteem. This friday I got a sxdate so will be Apple Cider Vinegar 24/7 uptill then haha.. It better be gone by then or have to camcel (YES I DO! And if you all have a little moral and common sense you wouldn't go either!! )
with Apple Cider Vinegar I got the biggest of the biggest warts removed in less then a week.. Can't wait for this round to be gone gone gone.

Tea Tree Oil
Posted by Kate (Canada) on 10/14/2015
Tea tree oil is really effective. It works wonders! It was gone after 2days. Just like that. What I did was, I put a tea tree oil on the cotton ball and put it on top of the affected area (skin tags/warts) and let it stay there. Yes, a minty feeling but its fine. Just font let it stay for very long time because I forgot mine and it was crazy.its like if I left it much longer it develops a burnt like looking skin (which was manageabl/tolerable).a day after it was gone. But since its healing, you need to always keep the area dry at all times and can be a little bit itchy while its healing. I hope this helps. Oh yeah, ive also got that idea from a website which I totally forgot which site. :( accudentally cleared the history on my browser.

Tea tree oil for genital warts: After having my third child I had really bad hemorrhoids. Then I developed a couple of "bumps" on my inner thigh that burned really bad. After much research I realized that I didn't have hemorrhoids at all! It was actually genital warts! How lovely...I know. So the first method I tried to get rid of these warts was apple cider vinegar. I applied it to the ones in my inner thigh, too scared to touch my anus with it. I applied for four days twice a day two hours at a time. Burned like crazy so I stopped. Within a week I realized they had completely come off (must've happened when I was washing my self because I didn't realize.) So I was still stuck with a cluster of warts on my anus. Researched again, bought some Dr.Scholls freeze away. Did nnothing. Then coconut oil. Did nothing. Now I've been using hydrogen peroxide when I go to the restroom. And at night use tea tree oil. I kid you not, they are almost completely gone! It's pretty awesome!!! I'm super excited. I've also started iodine supplementing with lugol's 5% iodine to help keep them at bay. I heard that works as well.

Diagnosing Genital Warts
Posted by Thankfulwife (Charlotte, Nc) on 01/30/2014
Could this be HPV Genital Warts? I have been married & faithful for 12 years & so has my husband. About 6 years ago I noticed one small brown flat growth in my pubic hair region. It stayed the same with no more growth or spreading for 2 years. Then about 4 years ago it seemed that there were more and more of these tiny, rough, brown, flat wart-looking spots spreading across my pubic hair area. They aren't anywhere else, only where the hair grows. My husband doesn't have any of these on his body. Could this be warts caused by a strain of HPV & is it contagious? If so, why hasn't he been contaminated? It's been 12 years since I was with anyone other than my husband who seems to be unaffected. Also, I've had 4 babies and many blood tests & pap smears with nothing turning up. So, will applying Apple Cider Vinegar repeatedly via taped on cotton pads eventually cause the warts to die and go away? And if the warts go away is the virus gone & no longer contagious? Thank you.
Vitamin C, DMSO
Posted by Tim Up (La) on 10/29/2013
This is good remedy for genital and all other kinds of warts and face wrinkles too :)
Put quarter cup, half deciliter of clean non tap water (you don't want fluoride or other poisons) I use rain water, into a glass cup. Add one tee spoon of vitamin C crystals or powder into it. You can find vitamin C powder in vitamin store. And then add 10-20 drops of DMSO. Store in fridge, and make it in small patches.
Then apply it to warts 2-3 times a day. This solution will stain your underwear and can turn palms of your hands and finger nails yellow if they get in contact with it. But if you use your fingers to apply it, just wash your hands afterwards. I use this on my face too. For some reason it doesn't stain face. But it can stain pillow cases and clothing. But it comes off in the wash. I use small, cigarette size roll-on. It is handy. You can use small perfume bottle or dropper.
I think it is the vitamin C that gets rid of warts, but DMSO helps with absorption. This could also work without DMSO. I always use DMSO with it.
Garlic
Posted by Lorah (General Santos City, Philippines) on 10/22/2013
I noticed there are growing bumps in my genitals, and search thru internet what would be this bumps. as I have seen, the bumps in my genitals are similar to genital warts. im so stressed and worried about this and felt scared and shy to go for a check.
After searching in the net about the home remedies for the said warts, I have and give it a try to follow the procedures, buy applying a vitamin e rich oil and spreaded chopped garlic. it gives me too much burning sensation.
Is this remedy effective? and taking a 2 capsules of garlic oil may help to boost my immune against genital warts?
Please help and let me know what should be the best movement I will take and best home remedy I may try.
Thank you so much.

How long do you leave the alum powder/tooth paste mixture on for? Should it be a certain time or should it be constantly? How often should it be changed? I have genital warts on my labia and around the opening of my vagina (they are spreading!!! ) and I am afraid to try ACV because I do not want to be a burning hot mess down there. Help please!
Colloidal Silver

I was just interested in anyone's thoughts feelings or experiences with using colloidal silver or anything else for that matter to treat Hpv warts
Colloidal Silver
Posted by Catherine (Bathurst) on 11/15/2015
★☆☆☆☆
I used colloidal on my warts for less than under a month. It did reduce the itch and seem to make them stop from getting bigger. It did not get rid of them and worse it did stain my skin. I have a black spot about the size of a pennie on my rear end. It's pretty black.
I also have some slight silverish looking skin on my pubic bone.
I am thankful that I've stopped using to prevent further staining of my skin.
I was using a nano hydrosol silver. A common brand found at stores too.
I would be wary of using this. I mean they say this only happens long term but I was using it under a month in spray form. Topically. I guess your genitals would have some mucous membranes that might make it penetrate your system.
Apple Cider Vinegar, Tea Tree Oil

I would like to thank EL AHR and the rest for their wounderfull recommendation on using APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, TEA TREE OIL. I had genital warts just one big a size of key hole below my butt that was frozen after my ex- admitted that he had an affiar 4 years ago. However it came back. I did not bother to do a thing until four days ago something promt me to look for home remedy. To my shock I bought all the above and within two days the wart turned white and fall off. To be honest thr treatment was painful but believe me just as the rest of you its worth. ACV. And Tea tree oil burns, but Hydroegen peroxide 3% does'nt. I am will continue to use Hydrogen peroxide at least for two weeks as I get ready to go for my annual pap- smear test (women wellness). Thanks to Eath Clincic and the Rest of you who have tried ACV, Tea Tree and successed you all are great. I would wish the rest safe and protect youself fro STDs.
Genital Wart Advice
Posted by Wendy (Culver City, California, Usa) on 03/22/2013
HPV or Human Papilloma Virus belongs to a group of viruses that affect the skin and mucous membranes of human beings. It can be easily spread by skin to skin contact. The common treatment for this virus has not been found yet and it is not possible to get rid of the virus completely. The aim of treatment is to improve the immune system of the individual. Curing hpv, also called human papilloma virus or venereal wart, can only be achieved through strengthening the body's resistant system.
Person suffering from the disease should maintain a healthy lifestyle. To live clean and strengthen immune system are very important. Living with HPV is much easier if you have a healthy body. This prevents the warts from recurring. Intake of vegetables especially Cruciferous vegetables which includes cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale, broccoli and citrus fruits should be increased with minimizing intake of sugars, caffine and refined foods. Herbs such as Echinacea, Phyllanthus emblica, Hyperisince Mysorense are known to boost immunity. Most plants of the Hypericum family have also been studied to have anti-viral effects.

How to Tell a Partner
Posted by Nt (Virginia) on 02/06/2016
Okay, this is what I'll say... when it is time to tell a partner, I would really just be straightforward with it. what I would also do, is be ready to inform your partner on what it is, how it affects women (puts us at risk for cervical) and how it will affect them (may put them at risk for oral cancer if you have oral hpv). just be ready with the facts and be ready for the possibility that they might not want to be with you. I'm not saying that it will happen but it is a possibility and you should be prepared for that. I think that most people would agree that just because you have HPV doesn't mean you slept around a lot or that you're a bad person. So if the person you're telling doesn't think that you are worth it, then they don't deserve you. hope this helps. I have told a partner myself and he didn't think anything of it.
Ibuprofen
Posted by Marie (Ny) on 09/15/2016
Just be careful with the ibuprofin....it can cause stomach ulcers and if you have type O blood definately stay away from Ibu and aspirin cause type O blood people are much more prone to get stomach ulcers. Ask me how I know! Also, I took turmeric for 3 wks and the ulcer came back after 12 yrs. It's almost gone now. Just be very careful with the aspirin/ibu stuff especially if you are type O blood. The turmeric is an antiimflamatory and type O blood can't take that stuff.

I have had genital warts for about 2 months. I tried the cryogenic therapy at the hospital which was unpleasant and so I wanted to try something to use at home. As it is a virus, it can outbreak at any time, and so it's great to have something on hand to use. I tried ACV mixed with water, which didn't work too well. Then combined ACV with honey, which was amazingly soothing, and I would advise it if it is really itchy or painful down there.
But what has worked best so far is combining oil- I used Hemp, but i'm sure Sweet Almond, Grapeseed or Coconut would work just as well. Mix 25ml with 3 drops of each Tea tree oil, 3 drops Eucalyptus and 4 drops Thyme oil. I am a trained Aromatherapist and know that these oils are all antiviral so thought i'd give it a shot. Have used it for the past 3 days, putting it on every time I use the toilet, and just rub some on my vagina using clean hands. The oil is soothing in itself and the essential oils make it tingle slightly but the warts are reducing day by day. Would be interested to know if it helps anyone else...

I suffered with HPV and BV for years and found relief. I stopped the supplements and it has now come back. This is what I did to get relief and increase my energy and I am doing this again now and will not stop again.
I think the most important thing I did was douche with 1 tbsp of provodine iodine with 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide one or two times a day followed by 1/2 cup of water with a powdered probiotic powder. I held the provodine and hydrogen peroxide solution for 60 seconds and did kegel exercises to strenthen my vaginal and bladder walls. I took cranberry capsules three times a day and bought the strongest capsules or gel caps that I could find. I also took folic acid three times a day. Once a day, then worked up to twice a day, I would put one or two cloves of garlic in a garlic press and let sit for ten to fifteen minutes while I made a drink of 2-3 tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar with the "mother", added a squeeze of lemon juice, then some water. I would take the garlic and swallow without chewing and flush with the apple cider vinegar and lemon. I took probiotics three times a day. It took two to three months to clear the infection, but I felt better within ten days. I reduced this regimin to two or three times a week, and then stopped, but the infection came back. This time I will keep up with at least once a day or three times a week. I had the CIN1 diagnosis and the BV diagnosis as well as the HPV 16 and 18 that causes cancer.
I started eating better and eliminated all bleached flour and sugar and bought organic food when possible. My energy levels were greatly enhanced. I found the regimine tedious and slaced off and got sick again. I hope this helps you. I think the Apple Cider Vinegar and lemon jucice with the garlic and hydrogen peroxide and provodine douche is the key to me staying healthy. The Cranberry Capsules stopped my recurrent UTI's. Of course remember the garlic and folic acid. My pap smears were normal when I did this after three months. Good Luck and may God Bless You!
Milkweed
Posted by Nikki05 (Silver Spring, Md) on 11/04/2012
★☆☆☆☆WARNING!
Just a warning to everyone out there that you should not use milkweed for genital warts. Other websites say you can, but you CANNOT! It causes a red, weeping rash and takes off the skin. It's been two months since I tried it and I have regretted it ever since! There is an open sore that will not heal and I am still experiencing the allergic reaction caused by this poisonous plant. It's like having poison ivy down there. Not fun!! Don't try it whatever you do! It's not worth it! Use ACV and tea tree oil instead. Even if you don't see results right away just stick with it. It will work. Stay away from milkweed!!!!
