Ok so I just have one small wart on the opening of my vagina... it's very small. At first I thought it was a skin tag, but I was diagnosed with HPV last summer and that is when it appeared. My doctor said it looked like it was from the HPV. I was totally ecstatic when I saw this site! Everyone is so awesome for posting their stories, so that no one has to feel alone in this!

Basically I've been trying the apple cider vinegar treatment for 3 days now and nothing has happened. The wart has turned white, but it's not turning black or anything. I've been using a bandaid and soaked cotton ball on the wart for long periods of time, usually at least 5 hours during the day and then sleeping with it on at night. I'm surprised it hasn't turned black yet, it shows no signs of falling off.

In the mean time the rest of my skin is getting pretty burned and damaged from all the apple cider treatment. I'm not sure what to do, or how to make my wart come off. Also, I've not been using Hydrogen Peroxide like some people, just ACV. Does the HP really make a big difference in the treatment?

So I gave it a few more days and the ACV definitely did work! I think I was expecting it to work in 3 days because it did for some, but everyones bodies are different. Mine worked in about 5 days. I really started to see a difference using a Q-Tip instead of a cotton ball. Since I only had one very small wart, the cotton ball burned a lot of my good skin. My wart was at the very opening of my vagina which was an extremely hard spot to get a band-aid to stick. Instead what I did was applied ACV to the end of a q-tip and held it onto the wart for just about 10 minutes every day. The direct pressure on the wart itself made all the difference.

Don't freak out if your wart does not turn black, mine didn't. It stayed white, and eventually got smaller, until I could just scrape it away. Today, it appeared to be completely gone. I'm hoping it stays gone and that I don't have another out-break in the future, but if I do, at least I know I have this wonderful site to post my ordeal on. You are all beautiful & strong people for getting through this!
