Mr. E. (New York, New York) on 10/05/2008:
Guys, girls, and all you in between my name is Mr. E. and this is my story:
around 5 months ago I have noticed a small bump on my dear friend down there and I did what always do when I see something that bothers me, I ignored it. The time passed by and another one came, and another one. I then realized that I got to do something about it. so I did what any person with ugly pimples growing on his penis will do, I went to see a doctor.
The doctor scared the hell out of me and send me to the pharmacy to by Podofilox. at that point I was already shy $200 - the doctor visit and the medication plus - I was scared to death. after 2 weeks of using this topical solution my GW got smaller but where still there, alive and a kicking and... It hurts. it hurts and I had cuts down my skin. another week passed by and I ran out of podofilox so I started looking online.
I found this web site and I could not believe it. this stuff works like magic. after 2 days of use the GW was almost gone! I applied it twice a day for about 30 minutes or so it killed those ugly looking things I had over there.
My tips are these: make sure you apply it on the affected area only and not on the "healthy" skin. it left some browses on my good skin and know I am waiting till these will heal. make sure you keep the area clean, I took at least 2 showers a day and washed it well with Tea tree soap. and cleaned with hydrogen peroxide to prevent infection.
I would like to thank this web site and all those who contributed. this has been a big head ache for me. and the fact I could not share it with any body did not make it easier.
THINK POSITIVE - THE ACV IS THE CURE FOR GW - I am now drinking this stuff twice a day with water and lemon to clean out my body. make sure you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, this will build up your immune system. I will never have an unsafe sex again in my life. and will ask to see paper with tests results from each partner - I consider my self lucky that I did not get something worse.
So this morning i woke up and the three in a cluster that i thought weren't budging are completely gone!! the other big ones are white and hopefully on their way out, but now there are like 6 little ones in the anal region that i never noticed and probably a hundred little tiny white ones that have popped up and i think that they are ones that were there before that just never showed before, but part of me wonders if i maybe spread the virus by messing with it.???? I'm gonna keep up with it though since the three are gone and will continue to update.
I had a small wart growing on the shaft of my penis, so I tried the apple cider vinegar remedy. It worked, and I am now wart free. The only down side is that I now have a scar that is much larger than the actual size of the former wart. If I were to do it again, I would apply a smaller piece of cotton to the wart to try to minimize the affected area. I was just too eager to get rid of it. Oh well, I'd rather have a small scar than a wart.
Hi I am a couple days into the ACV for genital warts and am scared because my Dr just said on the telephone, "hmmm im worried you will be damaging your mucosa". She is a wonderful woman who is not pushing anything on me as she knows how inhibiting the price of the cream is or the burning off process. Well i have not had anyone even touch me in many years and had sex without protection and contracted them all over my vaginal area and anal area even though i did not have anal sex. It took weeks for them to come to the surface and the Dr thought i just had 2 small ones 4 days ago. The cream she recommended costs over 300 so i looked on line and found you guys. When i put the acv on i couldnt believe how they were everywhere dotted front to back inside and out and side to side. The Dr wanted me to get them burned off but how the heck can you burn off 100+... Swear that's how many i have at least, and they are small but hurt like hell.
So i started homeopathic thuja 30c 4 times a day and it did not help at all. i started the acv (cotton balls dipped and covered with a pad and tape the pad down) and it hurt so bad... after 6 hours yesterday though, i saw alarming white and some grey/black which is scary as hell, but all of you guys say this is the way... so i trust you and thus i have the acv on now again. A couple questions maybe you guys can help me out with: 1. does anyone know if vitamin e capsules rubbed on after the acv work to soothe or do i need aloe? 2. does anyone know about damage to the mucosa? None of you have lost sensitivity in the area have you? 3. A guy today posted that he is all scarred. Does anyone else have scars? 4. Has anyone else seen 100 small warts? I feel like all the other cases have just a few 1-3 seems average. Thanks i will let you know how it goes. Any encouragement or help will be greatly appreciated :)
About a month ago was when i first realized that things werent normal.. i went to the doctor & sure enough genital warts. she put acid on them which was the most traumatizing thing my down below parts have ever felt. she said i might have to come back for more treatments but it was so god awful i decided i HAD to look for a natual remedy. i found this website & finally felt like i had some hope. i tried it out & whether it was from the acid or the ACV things thankfully seem to be clearing up. but it leads me to some questions. i dont know how graphic i can get, but some spots are almost pruney now, you know like when you sit in the tub for too long.. i dont know if its because of all the foreign substances down there or what but it makes me nervous. also what i dont understand is that i got my pap tests back & they said they were normal also my std tests came back normal. i dont understand how thats possible when i clearly had genital warts at the time. how will i ever know if the virus is gone if my tests come back normal like that?? i hope someone can talk me through this. im thankful the only thing thats wrong with me is this but still, its been one of the most emotionaly draining things to deal with not having anyone to talk to about it. im so happy i found this website!
OMG the ACV really works I found out 7 yrs ago that I have HPV. I have tryed everything and nothing works till I viewed this site. I thought what could it hurt. I went to the store and bought acv for $1.38 and I have cottonballs and papertape (medical). I soaked two cotton balls and taped it to my boy over a big cluster of 20 warts. I only applied before bed time. Well two days later I could nota stand to put it on any more so i left it alone for a day every thing turned black. On day three the scap started to peel and there is nothing there. IT IS AWESOME. I can not thank all you guys enought for posting. You all are great for sharing.
Embarassed Mom (Its 5 O Clock Somewhere, USA) on 09/23/2008:
First and foremost, I would like to thank EarthClinic and all of my fellow posters. Ok, Now that that's out of the way, here's my story:
It all begins when I began showing some growths in my vaginal area (all external) right after giving birth. At first I thought they (the growths) were vaginal skin tags which are common in pregnant women and are believed to be caused by hormones and excess weight gain. I began reading and searching online for what I could do about them. Upon my research, and reading about HPV and GW, I determined that I exhibited symptoms of GW-- and since a large percentage of genital skin tags are directly linked with HPV, I deducted that somewhere along the line, I had contracted HPV. Due to The stress of the Pregnancy, along with the compromised immune system that comes along with pregnancy- my HPV came out of its "dormant" state. Mortified at my discovery- I began a quest for knowledge and treatment. After reading on the CDC's website that 90% of HPV infestations disappear within two years of discovery--- I didn't feel all was completely lost. I stumbled upon this site while searching for treatment plans. Since DR's can be EXTEMELY EXPENSIVE,I was hoping to find a treatment that wouldn't empty my pockets. ACV was mentioned in quite a few sites, and after reading the posts by all those before me, I decided... why not give it a try- and put the skepticism aside.
The Course of Treatment: I went to the local drug store and purchased a tea tree oil blend w/ vit. E and other wonderful oils. Then straight to the grocery for a 2 dollar bottle of ACV. Bag of cotton balls and some maxi thins.
I took a warm shower and cleased the area well. I then made sure the area was clean with some Hydrogen Peroxide.. I placed an ACV soaked cotton ball directly over the growths (suspected warts) that had claimed my pleasure organ for their home. At first It slightly burned...not too bad...yet.... Put on some clean underware (not thongs, or g strings ladies-- good old cotton undies) stuck a maxi pad in there- and wore the pickeled smelling contraption for about 30 minutes. I then took it off (growths had turned a whitish color) and put the tea tree oil (VERY SOOTHING) blend over the area- and left it alone. I repeated the process about 8 hours later...this time the burning a little more severe. I continued doing this for two days-- now on my third day-- the growths have turned black--and are falling out one by one. I will note that ACV burns more with each treatment--but take it with a grain of salt- and if you simply can't bare it... stop, put some tea tree on and try again a little later. (I've had to bite down on a towel to keep from screaming) This really does work great... and for a couple of reasons- 1) the acidity of ACV is like a chemical peel- and a disinfectant 2) the price of prescriptions is about 300 times more. 3) The humility of the doc's office is mortifying 4) The results of ACV are quick and effective.
Again, there is minor discomfort--- but who cares if it works- I am not sure of the long term benefits- but will post back in a few months with an update.
I am a few growths away from being growth free..YAY!
3 days have passed. What started out as a couple of warts actually turned out to be 8 at the base of my shaft and one half way up.
The other became noticeable due to the ACV contacting them. Because the 8 were in a cluster I had to treat them as a group and use a whole cotton ball. I used a piece of cotton ball on the lone one.
I would have to say that this works because I just took a shower and admittedly scrubbed thr area and the reddish brownish scabs came off exposing raw flesh. I poured hydrogen peroxide on them and toweled off. Now I am treating the skin with A&D ointment to get rid of the burned skin.
I do have 2 spots that are white bumps so I don't now how these will look in a day or 2 but I'm giving my skin a break before any more treatments. I have also started to drink ACV by adding it to my water bottle so that I get a little all day long.
I used the ACV treat GW over a year ago. I have not had any return since treatment. I used the ACV topically to treat the warts that I could see but I was worried about the warts that I could not see. I started drinking 1oz of ACV, three times a day as I had read that this would eliminate any warts that could not be seen. Sure enough, after 2 days of drinking the ACV, I started noticing little bumps on my labia were flaking off. When I went to see my Gyno she was amazed that I had managed to get rid of my warts using ACV. I kept drinking the ACV for a few months after all the warts had disappeared as I read that this would kill the actual virus that was in the tissue causing the warts. The ACV also has other great health benefits. I am happy to say that I have not had an outbreak since I used the ACV.
Hello, this is T from Chicago, IL. I contracted genital warts from my ex-bf about a year ago. In the shower I felt two small hard growths on my perineum area. My gyn confirmed my own suspicions and fears with a positive diagnosis of hpv (genital warts). I opted to try and treat myself with natural methods vs. over the counter or prescription meds. I found this site called amoils.com. They have a lot of diff essential oils that cure a plethora of ailments; so I bought this product called heal warts. It was to be applied 3x/day only to the top of the wart and in 2 to 6 weeks the warts are guaranteed to flake away and no new wart will grow in the same place again. The product worked just as it was suppose to and w/in about 4 to 6 weeks they were gone. I was wart free for about one year and then I noticed two similar growths on my perineum area again. I started to use the heal warts formula again, confident that it would work the same. I had been using it for about 3 weeks with no improvements and to make matters worse the warts began to multiply and spread. I went from having 2 small warts to having like 10 vaginal warts and 1 anal wart (which I have no clue how I got cause I have never had anal sex). So thus began a new search for a new product that will get rid of these disgusting little bastards. I was ready to give prescription meds a try and then I found this blessing of a site called earthclinic. Many of the people were buzzing about apple cider vinegar (acv) for treating genital warts in as little as 3 days. I was a little scared because many of the comments stated that the acv burns upon contact, but I was willing to try anything. So I went out and bought some store brand of acv, cotton balls, sterile gauze pads and some big Band-Aids. I took a shower and carefully cleaned the area. After I got out I clean the wart area again with some hydrogen peroxide. I then took a cotton ball and soaked it with acv and squeezed out the excess. I put one cotton ball right inside my vagina since nearly half of my warts are right inside and around the vaginal opening. (I suspect I may have warts in my vaginal canal so I will do a full strength acv douche twice a day once I stop my menstrual cycle). I took another acv cotton ball and stretched it out to lengthen it; I then positioned it so that half the cotton was on my perineum warts and the other half was on my anal wart. Next I took the sterile gauze pad and cut it in half (the ones I bought are pretty big) then soaked it and squeezed out the excess acv. I used this pad to cover and keep the cotton balls in place and to cover any tiny warts that I may not see. Then I covered everything with the other dry half of the pad and taped it to the insides of my thighs with the big Band-Aids. I also put a panty liner in my panties as to avoid any leakage. I am not going to lie; the pain for me was an extremely intense burning sensation, almost unbearable. It doesn't burn the good skin, only the warts feel like they are burning. I kept telling myself the pain is the wart dying and being rejected by my body. The pain lessens in about 30 to 45 mins. The first day, I wore the acv treatment around the house for about 5 hours. When I took off the pad off the warts had become swollen and whiter. I took a shower and used the peroxide to clean the area and let it be. On day two I decided to do the treatment before bed. I did the same steps as before and went to bed. In the morning the warts were even whiter, and harder and slightly protruding more as if the wart was literally being pushed out of the skin. Every time I went to the bathroom and wiped I would see little chunks of wart on the toilet paper. Today is day three and the warts are sore and tender and one of them is starting to turn black, and another little wart chunk came off. I will use the treatment again tonight before bed. I have not been super aggressive with this treatment, meaning that I have not been wearing the pad for 24 hrs/day due to the pain intensity. I can only apply once a day for 5 to 10 hrs depending on what I have to do. Many people report that aloe vera gel or neosporin/ A&D ointment work well for soothing the pain and irritation. I will buy some aloe vera gel and give that a try. I can say that I am very confident that with in 1or maybe 2 weeks the warts will be completely gone. Once the warts are completely gone I will try using vitamin e oil to help heal the skin up like new. I will post and update my condition in a week. I really hope this info helps someone, cause hpv is a very scary disease and many can't afford the traditional wart medications. You are not alone in your struggle to rid yourself of these horrid nasty little things and apple cider vinegar is a cheap simple way to quickly get rid of the warts. I must say that even if you have seemingly removed all of the warts with the acv; it is still best for anyone with a positive hpv diagnosis do regularly get check for cervical or penile cancer.
I just found your forum and was wondering what I was going to do about some genital warts that recently appeared. I went out and got band aids, cotton balls, ACV. I initially took a little onto a cotton ball and just applied it for about 10 seconds. No burning but after a few minutes they were turning a little lighter in color. So I soaked some pieces of cotton ball and held them in place with the band aid. I will let you know how I make out.
i used apple cider vineger for my genital warts for the last 3 days it has worked great only thing im unsure if the wart has fallen off because around the skin around the wart is is real brown like scabed and this is after like my 4th time applying it but there is a red spot were it looks like the wart it's self was is raw ??????? i looked with a magnifing glass and cant see no wart it's self. also what should i do as for healing let it dry then apply some neosporin and should i treat again or wait?
I have had HPV for 4 years and I've tried everthing under the stars to eliminate it. I've tried all of the following and most I have done in combination: Aldera cream, condoylx, compound w, freezing myself with compound w, freezing at the dr's office, and some super acid once (ouch). Not one of the above was the answer. This hpv has taken a huge toll on me over the last 4 years and I haven't ever been able to get back on track. Praying and worrying haven't helped at all either. I started ACV three days ago. This was my strategy, although they're not all gone yet, it is sure promising. Take the bulb of a q-tip and soak it ACV, then put that in the center of a band aid. I try to get the band so it's less sticky, so I put it up against a bath towel a few times. The ACV burns/itches a little but not very much compared to freezing them yourself. I leave the soaked cotton tip against the area of concern for about 3 hours. The warts will turn white and macerated. I didn't think the next part would come true but today the little ones started turning black!! Seriously, this is no joke and I hope right now you're smiling and feeling a sense of purity again. I had warts in places I didn't even know. Once I heal completely from the latest self freeze I plan on soaking an entire gauze and doing it to my entire penis. This posting and all the information gained here was a true blessing and I'm not religious. Good luck and trust me, I'm a pessimist and this really honestly works!
ACV!!! I'm back to give u my update w/ ACV. Guess what ~ It truly works!! After sleeping w/ acv on me for the 2nd nite in a row - the following evening I applied it once again the same way w/ tape & cotton balls. I left it on me for about 5 hours & then took it off. Well, i went out of town & didn't use it for 4 days. while being gone for the 2nd day - i finally looked & they were all gone except 2!! YES> so excited. I think skipping a few days actually helped even more. I don't know but all but 2 are gone. I treated them again for about 3 hrs today & I'm sure they will be gone by tomorrow. This stuff works. Good luck 2 All.
A few days ago I discovered your website. I have been suffering with internal and external anal warts that return after surgery or freezing. I tried ACV and it removed them within 3 days. I applied ACV onto tissues and applied directly to the warts and area that they were located. Despite the pain, I have to say this is the best and quickest method I have ever tried.
**Are u looking 4 a CURE?? ACV is def the answer. I read all the comments on acv & tried it 2 days ago. I wanted to be able to help someone w/ my experience & how it worked 4 me. I found out i had HPV a few weeks ago & i was disgusted. I had also just lost my medical Insurance. ha, i was terrified that it was gonna spread everywhere if i didn't get to a obgyn FAST! I was desperate 4 a cure. I decided 2 try acv. Its day 2 for me using it. I was scared at 1st because the warts are in places that seem hard to treat w/ out burning. Mine are located around my vaginal opening. On day 1 - I used cotton balls soaked in acv & i used a guaze tape instead of bandaids. it took alot of tape to get it right. I layed the cotton across the infected area & taped it up. It stung pretty good which i was glad of because I knew it must be working. I went to bed with it on all nite. I woke up & they had turned white & I knew then that it was working. They were all pretty small but a couple were kinda larger than the rest. On night 2 - I applied it again the same way. It stung even worse which was okay for me cuz i was expecting that. I woke up & took it off - I was kinda dissapointed that they hadn't turned black like others have reported but were still white. But then -oh yes- i noticed that some of the larger ones had literally fallen off. I was amazed.Afterwards, I sprayed aloe vera on myself to ease the burning sensation which works great. So 2day, my plans are to treat the remaining ones w/ a q-tip throughout the rest of the day. I'm determinded 2 get rid of these sick things. I will keep you all posted on my results. I'm hoping after tonight - I will be wart free. But to others who are desperate 4 a cure - girls- this is the way. I promise. I was skeptical at 1st but it seems 2 be working. I'm writing this so i can share my results with others who are not sure what to do about this. I know who scared you are and embarrassed. I won't even have sex w/ my husband due to that. Its disgusting & I wanna help someone like this site helped me. everyone's comments helped me make it through this. Thank you all for sharing experience w/ me. Now - I'm giving back as well. If anyone is scared - please try this. It works. Good luck to you all. Questions are welcomed. I want to be able to help anyone I can by simply sharing my treatment's with ACV. Good Luck - It truly works***
Well what can i say, acv really works!! 98% of them are gone. I have like 4 tiny pin tip ones left and they are really hard to get . wrapping my guy with the whole gauze bandage is a great method but unless i keep half a woodie, the bandage moves, so it's a bit frustrating. i mean who can keep wood with major construction going on down there. maybe i should pop a bottle of viagra and see if that works. anyways it's been 10 days and i am very pleased with the results. i got some tea tree oil and that is very soothing. i haven't been consistent with the wrap, because of the tenderness but using a q-tip soaked here and there for 20 min. at a time. i think the wrap is the way to go but you really have to give yourself some time to heal between treatments. i will post again in a week and give my final results. thanks to everyone and keep frying those little buggers!!!!
Most of the wart is black now... I didnt wrap it today.. I'm just letting it chill and dry out. Might put a wrap on it tonight.
Note that this is a single fairly large wart.. probably about an 1"8th of an inch across. There is one more small one on the other side of the shaft that I will take care of after this one and I expect the small one to take less time than this one.. but I think it's working! WOO!
I used ACV with cotton balls over my warts for maybe two weeks, and it did cause them to turn white and then come off. But my warts were just below my belt line down into my pubic hair and now the areas where the warts were are just flat pink spots that still itch and look just as bad. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I must have got infected with genital warts (hpv)by the ex-gf about 2 years ago. After a rather scary mis-diagnosis (herpes) at hospital(!), I consulted a general practitioner doctor to double check and he said it was hpv. He confirmed with a biopsy sample after burning off the warts. After a recurrence I used Podofilin, but they came back, so tried Aldara (Imiquimod) but that was expensive, caused irritation and didn't work. I then tried some oil I bought over the internet from a company in USA. The oil did get rid of some warts, but not all. Then I found this site ...
Early this month (Aug 08)I used ACV on specific warts on my shaft using cotton balls and bandaids and they seem to have gone. But something didn't look right on the head. So then I did the full gauze bandage wrap and plastic covering method too. I was amazed at all the tiny little dark spots that appeared in different places after 4 days. ( I used a magnifying lens to get a good look). That was 4 days ago and now the dark scabs are healing. Will keep you posted on results. For me, 4 days consectively of applying ACV is probaby the limit. Thanks to all.
Apple cider vinegar is awesome - caught genital warts from my ex wife? and have been suffering from it now for close to 4 years, just one close to the base of my unit. Then it spread to the foreskin :(... I think because of my poor diet and a lot of stress. Started searching on the net and found earthclinic, as the last thing I would ever do is front up to a doctor. But anyway - ACV used was the normal supermarket varity, bought some hydrogen peroxide 20vol and went to work. With a bit of trouble - used small bits of cotton cloth soaked with the vinegar and let the foreskin hold it in place with a bit of tape overnight. True to form the warts went white, next night warts went yellow/grey with no stinging, I should have just kept up with that another night... and then I decided to use the peroxide to clean the area - what a shock. When using peroxide I think you should use a diluted version of it. The stuff I used had pretty spectatular effects the warts fizzed and bubbled where the warts were wow!!. a couple of hours later I ended up with burns over the areas where Id used the peroxide. I spent the next couple of days in a bit... alot of pain. But overall it was well worth all the effort and pain. I now have healing - peeling bits with a few dimples where the warts were. Well happy... I still have one to treat but will hold back on the peroxide I think. Thanks Earthclinic!...
ok..day 2. wow this stuff really works! In 24 hrs they have almost all turned black! but man does it sting...ouch. I ended up taking a large gauze bandage soaking it in acv and wrapping it around my whole member. i was shocked to see how many little ones there were. i had only noticed like 4 pinhead sized ones but there are like 13 little pintip ones too. well it's really working but man does it sting. i switched on/off dabbing with q-tip cause the areas around my guy are gettin sore. well looks promising and i'll keep posting till they are gone. i also did like 2 shots of acv, one in morning one in night...i figured what the hell, can't hurt. if that's what it does on the outside it must be like clorox through your veins on the inside. here's to frying those little buggers...cheers!
ACV - I had these like 7 yrs ago and got em froze off. Only to return..I read the posts figured what the hell. I taped 2 gauze pads soaked in AVC squeezed some out and folded in half. Wrapped around my little guy and taped them up tight. I put a little vaseline around the end near the tip so as not to irritate. I have been up for the last 2 hrs and feeling a bit skeptical. Went to take a look and change the bandage..Holy crap! they are already turning white. Same effect the freezing had w/o the pain! I am sure it will sting tomorrow, but I am going to leave them on all night and post again with my results! thanx everybody!
I am soooo thankful to everyone here for the advice, the ACV worked better than I could have ever imagined.
By day 2 of treatment the warts were black and by day 3 after taking a shower in the morning they were gone, except for one wart that was large and protruding out of my anus. However, that wart was much much smaller...on day 3 I started applying the ACV with a Q-tip right on that wart because my anus was too sore for the cotton ball...and as of tonight on day 4 I can't see anything!! It is gone...even the inside part is gone!
Just to make sure the whole area has been treated I reapplied the ACV with a cotton ball to the entire area for 10 minutes (enduring pretty strong burning!) It is my last treatment...and I couldn't be happier.
Instead of waiting for 3 weeks for an invasive procedure, some apple cider vinegar took my warts away in 3 days. Unbelievable. Granted, it was pretty painful vis-a-vis the stinging and burning....but what a small price to pay to get rid of your warts for super cheap and without invasion of privacy and in 3 days!
I will now apply emu oil and neosporin to the anal area and I'm sure in 3-4 days I will be back to normal!
After living with genital warts since last October (my doctor removed some in March, but they came back), I've been suffering the humiliation, etc., that everyone else speaks of. Two days ago I found this site (I didn't want to have to go spend money/pain at the doctor again). I tried the ACV (which I use for my hair to make it shiny and soft) and can't BELIEVE how amazing the cure is. It really illustrates the backwards health system when doctors don't suggest simple solutions, but expensive pharmaceutical options. I tried the cotton ball method and at first there was no sting, but on day two and three there is some-so it's a little more painful, but worth it. After the very first treatment some of the bigger warts dried off. I'm hoping they'll all be gone in a couple of days and then I'll try some healing ointment for the skin. Thanks so much to all the posters!
P.S. I'm drinking ACV for my cholesterol too, so I'll post in a couple months my findings. Seems like ACV is the cure for most things? Good luck to all! And keep sharing your cures...I'm going to educate my doctors too!
Well I am trying to ACV for removal of anal warts--I was diagnosed with them recently (though it was obvious to me what they were). Because everything shuts down in France for the month of August, I couldn't get a laser removal appointment until 3 weeks from now! Forget it! I was not waiting that long to get these nasty things out of my a--!
I started the treatment yesterday and I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised! 4 of the warts are now black and crusty and they look like they are about to fall off! I have a bigger one that goes slightly into the anus and that one seems to be taking longer to burn off....but I will keep at it! This is definitely working. I hope a few more treatments will do they trick.
Warning: for me it did not sting too much yesterday on the first treatment, but today the pain has been actually pretty intense. I am bearing it because I am incredibly motivated to remove these gross things. Some people it stung less, for some more. Either way, it is worth it!
ACV has worked for me. First noticed two warts about 2 months ago. Within days they were gone. But a few more came back recently. I once again used the cotton ball wrap method (they are on the shaft of my penis, just under the head). One has turned black, so it will be gone soon. The others are gone, but in their place it looks like I have a chemical burn. The skin is gone in some areas, and the skin immediately surrounding that area is white and moist. It doesn't look too pretty. Any idea on how I can heal this burn? Because of where this area is, the burn doesn't get any air. It's covered by skin...
Noticed recently that I had some strange little bumps under my foreskin and around base of the head of my penis, they were very small. At first I thought they were just skin tags and I scrubbed them off with pumice BIG MISTAKE! Because when I found this site days after and started treating with the apple cider vinegar, I had infected a large area of skin in two places. Have to say though that the cider vinegar works amazingly. One area has gone black and is in the process of falling off, the other area got quite burned by the ACV and I had to stop, its spread a little more, but Im going to let it heal completely and then attack anything that grows there later. Originally I was putting my penis into a small jar of ACV and leaving it to soak for a couple of hours, then I heard about medical tape and band-aiding, this is much better option, you can expose the virus for a far longer time. SO YES, it works, so thankful I found this site.
ACV is really a miracle! I had several small warts and one about the size of a dime. I was to embarrassed to see a doctor and was looking on line for a cure. This really worked! I applied the first ACV with a gauze pad and kept the application for 24 hours changing the pad several times. The next day I did the same. The third day I applied the ACV over night only. By day four all the small ones had fallen off and the top of the large one had turned gray and was pealing off! The larger one was the most difficult and by day five I was irritated but changed my application to simply dabbing ACV on 3 times a day only to the one area. (I used A&D ointment on the surrounding area to get rid of the irritation and allow for healing.) Day six everything was gone! I have no scars and thankfully no warts! THANK YOU for your help!
ACV is a life saver!! at least so far. im on my second day, third treatment and i can SEE and FEEL it working!!!! at first i didnt feel any stinging or burning as everyone had mentioned so i was dissapointed, but I applied it again and noticed one wart had turned white and the other black. i was sooooo relieved because after reading all the other posts i knew this meant it was working! the third application burned, but its soooo relieving because you know they are going to be gone in no time!
i would suggest using medical tape instead of bandaids because i tried using bandaids the first time and after the soaked cotton ball touched the bandaid it lost it's stickiness. it was quite frustrating. with medical tape you can kinda pin down the soaked cotton ball in place.
i cannot tell u how happy i am to have found this cure. i had been using aldera for some time with NO results. do not spend your money on anything else but ACV!! you can find it at any supermarket for only $2!!!!!
it's nice to know that there are so many others out there like me. i felt soooooo disgusted when these warts appeared because of HPV. i've only had 3 sex partners and i couldnt believe i was a victim to this!!!!
