First of all, I want to thank everyone who have shared their experiences about genital warts treatment using Apple Cider Vinegar, I'm thankful that it's working on me and your reviews encouraged me to give it a try.
On June 2016, I noticed small warts on both sides of my labia minora (vagina wall), they were like 20 of them each wall labia, I went straight to my gyn and diagnosed with HPV that causes genital warts. I was given a topical cream, called Effudix 1% (prescription) which should be applied 3 times in a week for 3 weeks max, I was also given a petroleum jelly to prevent any burn to the unaffected skin. It didn't burn at all, it wasn't painful, the effudix cream smells really unpleasant but I applied it anyway, within 2 weeks, the warts were gone.
On August, I noticed they came back with their friends on my labia minora and I wasn't able to afford any medical help, I live in Indonesia which is insurance for such disease isn't covered by the government. Then on November I found this website about getting rid of genitals warts with ACV, so I give it a try.
My warts are on both of my labia minora (vagina wall) like a lot, also on my vaginal opening and the vestibule (below urethral opening) like a size of toe nail, it's so big and gross and also on bartholin gland like 3 layers look like chicken's comb. It's so gross, embarrassing and totally killed my confidence.
First day (around 8pm) : I soaked a cotton ball then wrap it with gauze pad and bind it so it looks like tampon, as I describe my warts are everywhere, I'm afraid the cotton balls would be stuck on my vagina. I didn't experience any burn at first, the bigger one on my vestibule turned white in 20 minutes, then 10 minutes after it turned greyish/black, so I keep the cotton balls for like 4 hours. Because I have to pee so bad, I change the cotton balls with the new one, here comes the pain! It burns my skin (warts so bad) I wasn't even able to walk and crying on bed, considering this is working I continue for like an hour, at 2am, I need to pee and ready for bed, I saw small seeds on my tissue as I wipe, I'm so happy and go to bed!
Day 2 (around 10am): I noticed the biggest wart on my vestibule and batholin gland getting smaller and turning black also the black seeds coming off when I wipe my vagina with tissue (PLEASE DO IT GENTLY, FOLKS :) The pain is unbearable, so I applied the ACV on cotton balls for like 20 minutes and I couldn't stand it anymore. At night, around 8pm, after I took a bath, I re-applied it and it stung like crazy, I couldn't handle it and was crying because of the pain.
I noticed the biggest warts on vestibule and 3 layers on my bartholin gland are getting smaller and smaller, as the skin of the warts and the black seeds coming off too, YAY!
NOW the problem, I'm experiencing vaginal discharge, white liquid smells like medication (Idk, hospital smell?) coming off, and start to bleed, A LOT, the blood came from the biggest warts and the warts on 3 layers of warts on my bartholin gland. I stopped using ACV and keep applying petroleum jelly (vaseline or anything, I use the one my doctor gave me on June) it helps the sore and more black seeds coming off with the blood, I was shocked but relief at the same time.
If any of you experienced this before, I would like to ask is it normal for a big wart to bleed? HOW ARE MY WARTS NOW? It's getting smaller and smaller, and the group of warts on my labia minora are getting hard (I assume they are drying and ready to fall off?) the bleeding is not as much as before and my vagina discharge is aslo getting better, not as much white liquid as before.
I hope you guys the best on treating this matter, if you are able to afford medical help, please do! I'm sorry for my english as it's not my native language, feel free to help me with my question, THANK YOU SO MUCH, GOD BLESS YOU!

I've been clear for about two weeks now, but I'm now noticing as the skin is healing up that there might be some warts returning--small light brown growths barely noticeable in well lit conditions. Once the warts turned into scabs, I stopped applying ACV to let them dry out, so I'm wondering if that had anything to do with it. Maybe I should have kept up the application until well after they completely disappeared.
I've also been taking immune supplements to support my immune system, but I'm not really sure how to tell if there are any noticeable differences. I've been taking Host Defense Comprehensive Immune Support because I heard that Agarikon extract has strong antiviral properties specifically against HPV. For now, I think I'm going to start re-applying ACV to see if these new growths disappear.

The past 6 months of my life have been very stressful with work, travel, and family. I have not been eating or exercising as well as I normally do, and have not been drinking enough water either. And I have been drinking more alcohol than normal and smoking marijuana.
Then a couple of days ago I realize the couple of bumps I have down there are not in-grown hairs or pimples. Absolutely horrifying to me to realize they are general warts. So so gross and embarrassing. It was the first time in my life to ever have them (and I am hoping my last).
First I freaked out, called my BFF, cried. THEN I made an appointment with my doctor, THEN I started researching home remedies and reading about Apple Cider Vinegar on this site. I thought it couldn't hurt to give it a try.
I did not do the Q-tip Band-Aid method however. I was concerned about leaving the vinegar on the wart for that long.
Here is what I did. I just got some Organic ACV with the veil of the mother in it (I don't know what that means but apparently it's good for you). Shake up the vinegar, soak little pieces of paper towel OR a Q-tip in the vinegar, then gently press directly onto the wart. Leave it on for a couple of minutes, then get a fresh Q-tip / paper towel, soak it, press gently on the wart again. Repeat this process until each wart has been treated with ACV for about 10-20 minutes.
It will start to burn and turn white after about 5 minutes, that's how you know for sure it's genital warts. The burning is not so bad you can't stand it, but if it ever gets too much, just take the vinegar off the wart and end the treatment until next time.
I have been doing this twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. After 5 treatments, the warts are so much smaller, I can tell this is seriously working very well. I still have another 5 treatments until my doctor appointment, so I'm hoping they will be cleaned up by then.
However, I will say, it's important to still go see the doc when you get warts in my opinion. You have to make sure they are not inside anywhere, plus there are probably a few warts you can't see but are hidden in your private areas. I think I have one on my butthole and in one other area that's pretty hard to get to by myself with ACV. So, I'm hoping the doctor can just quickly burn those off, and then I can focus on just eating healthy and exercising and getting my body back in balance so I can suppress this horrible disgusting virus.
Final note, After the ACV treatment, I swiped my surrounding healthy, non-wart skin with Aloe because the little bit of ACV that touches it can make it dry and itchy.
So, Yes, ACV works well to reduce the size of the warts after just 2-3 days, and I'm sure if I keep using it it will remove the visible ones all together. But, I advise to go to the doctor too. Not something you want to take risks on with at-home remedies alone.

I'll update if anything radical happens but at this point since what's leftover is really no bigger than the 3 that were gone in about 4 days I'm hoping this will be relatively easy compared to the 2 weeks its taken so far.

I read about the apple cider vinegar on this site and at 11pm on Thursday night I put a soaked cotton wool ball on the infected area I didn't feel the burn to begin with I left it there for a couple of hours and took it off to go to sleep, they looked white ish like how your skin looks when you sit in the bath for too long. I woke up early that morning 7.30am and I began the process again left It on there for a good 4 hours they were then dark grey and with my pubic hair disguising them I was more confident to meet my guy that evening. Friday night came and went and all went well with sex- I wasn't found out. I'm now in bed at 11pm Friday night exactly two days later and I have no warts on my vagina I just took a mirror to look, bearing in mind I hadn't put the vinegar on since friday morning, they were a brownish scab and I gently pulled it off revealing slightly rough but healthy skin :) I'm so happy I don't feel it's necessary to tell my sexual partner about this as with warts there's no huge harm as long as you can't see them. I don't care if I have the virus :/ this may seem bad but I can't even imagine telling anyone about this ever! But seriously this treatment is amazing I didn't think it would actually work but 2 days later I'm looking beautiful down there again it's just relieved me so much hope this account helps anyone in a similar situation :)
