4 out of 5 stars

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.

Okay 24 hours have passed.

What I did was apply ACV to cotton and hold with bandaids. Ouch when you're hairy and go to remove the bandaids. This was/is the most painful part for me. I left this on for 3 hours during the day removed and washed with soapy water. I let about 5 hours go by and reapplied the same technique for another 2 hours washed with soapy water and went to bed with nothing applied. This morning all of the tops of the warts are either a redish brownish or have darkened.

I just showered and reapplied as before. I will update in another 24 hours. So far so good.

I also noticed a couple of more warts that i didn't see before due to them coming in contact with the ACV.

Okay.

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 just wanted to give an update. One month later I noticed one isolated tiny wart on the base of my shaft. I used a q-tip soaked with ACV and held it there for 15 minutes repeating 4 times for a total of one hour. Then a small piece of cotton ball with small amount of ACV and a band aid to hold. After day one the wart was already dark brown with little irritation to the surrounding skin. I should have eased off, but instead took the agressive approach and repeated the q-tip being held in place for one hour. Big mistake. It ate an acid burn into my skin which is 1/8" in diameter that is taking some time to heal. I am put neosporin on it daily, but it doesn't look great. So a word to the wise, go easy it will work. No need to be aggressive.
