I first noticed them after having a baby. During my pregnancy, I developed a lot of skin tags (one of those things I had no idea could happen.) After delivery, they just went away on their own.
I actually thought my warts were some kind of skin tag. I also assumed that my already-large-labia were stretching from friction with sex.
I ignored them. About 6 months ago, I went to the ER with stomach pain. They did a pap. Normal. They did not mention the warts so this just reaffirmed my thoughts that it was somewhat normal.
I recently bought a light-up-magnification mirror and finally took a good look. I am so mortified. I look like one of those photos that are used to scare kids in to safe sex. I look like Ive been in a 3rd world country with no access to health care.
I am a meticulously clean person. Im nearly 40 and my body is rock hard. I take great care of my body, my home, my family... How did I let this go on so long?
I am currently using the ACV treatment. I am on day 2. I refuse to even consult a doctor until I can get my vulva looking human again.
I guess, for me, the strange part is that my warts are on the outer edges of my labia. I was able to convince myself that it was just part of aging.
The ACV is painful. I am raw. My labia are VERY swollen. After 2 days, nothing is black or falling off. I so badly want these gone, but I must be patient.
Also, I spread open my labia and revealed that the hidden skin is covered in the flat, ugly warts.
Unlike most, I cant just apply ACV to the wart - because I am so horribly covered in them. I just want one to fall off so I know its working.
I just had to tell this to someone. Thanks for listening. I'll update when I finally see some results. (fingers crossed)
To summarize:
Topical: ACV applied around the clock.
Supplements: Multivitamin, biotin, B12, D3, vit C

The good news: The skin surrounding my labia majora went completely raw and bloody and then returned a bright, beautiful pink. It is true that the skin regrows in about 24 hours. No clue how the body does that.
Something weird: The larger warts had white roots sticking out of them. I used 2 q-tips to squeeze them and the root came out. Then I googled if I should squeeze those roots out and everyone says thats a bad thing to do.
Tip 1: Add fiber to your diet if you are taking a bunch of supplements. You will have diarrhea. This is not a good scene when you have a bloody vulva. Get some metamucil and the next day you will have a solid BM.
Tip 2: Use the aspirin/ vit e/ Apple Cider Vinegar mixture instead of the ACV straight. It works just as good. When people talk about the day2 sting of ACV, they are essentially saying that they have open wounds on their genitals and then they pour acid in the wounds. It is every bit as horrible as it sounds.
My really huge warts dont seem that bothered by any of this. Im still fighting though.
I really hate myself right now. Im having trouble getting out of bed because of the depression, but I keep applying the mixture.
I would estimate that 60% of my vulva is covered in some type of HPV growth. I know most people would say, "HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW! ?! ?" But most of this growth is hidden in the folds. I swear, I didnt know.
Day 4:
Nothing has turned black. I do have some grey specs when I wipe. The flat warts are the first to go.
The big ones arent doing much. I find it so hard to believe that these things are going to fall off - they seem to be an extension of my flesh.
Revised supplement list: multi-vitamin, biotin, b12, d3, garlic capsules, calcium mag zinc, echinacea, l-lysine, probiotic, liquid vit d drops, 3 glasses of emergen-c, 2 green smoothies with kale, spinach, fresh fruit, carrots
Topical: ACV/ aspirin/ castor oil applied around the clock.

Most (if not all) of the plaque-like warts are gone. They wiped off. Not all at once. Gradually, little bits of tissue come off when I wipe.
The large warts are somewhat hard and noticeably smaller.
It is definitely working!
Still depressed. But keep telling myself I just caught a virus and there is no real shame in that.

I am sore and raw. But nothing ever turned black or fell off. I even mutilated a few of the growths with a scalpel and they still aren't budging.
I give up. As soon as all these wounds heal, I'm going to the doc.
I'll update this page when I find out for sure. Best wishes to all of you struggling with this nightmare.
