Positive Thinking (Midwest Town, USA) on 06/23/2009

i have been on here trying to rid myself of warts for awhile i tried the acv alone and too painful so i tried tea tree oil and that helped a bit also vitimin E oil and that got rid of some ones on the inside of me. i wanted to try the ACV crushed asprin castor oil method so i had to buy castor oil off the internet. i made the paste yesterday and when i mixed it up i thought WTF! this dosen't look right but i put it on anyway and left it on for a few hours reapplying it as needed. i did my nightly workout and put more on after my shower. leaving it on from 9pm to 7am when looking at it in the morning some of the skin was peeling. didn't hurt but was pink underneath so i applied Tea Tree oil to it itched a bit but it was cleaning it (guessing) then i waited a bit and applied vitamin E oil to the whole area that was covered to soothe it. now tonight i will reapply the mixture and go at it again to get more areas where the skin didn't peel away.

if you are feeling like the ACV dosen't work try this. the ACV didn't work for me but burn me and hurt me so i thought this would work and so far so good. i am keeping positive about this i think it is working well may take a week or two but i am thinking its better than haveing any bumps for years.

i will psot back with more tomorrow.
good luck everyone.

You might be having a reaction to the Aldera.. I would think that you might want to stop and take a little break from everything and just heal up....you have to know that stressing about it is making everything worse!!..So, just heal up first, and then I think you should go at it with the mixture, and there won't be any pain, or just a light tinge... Please know that it will work!!!..and also know that 80% of the population has had this at sometime in their life...so just breath and BE WELL!!..:)

replying to HealURSoul in Jax from Jacksonville, FL : im not doing the aldera jsut the ACV asprin castor oil had it on there for half a day and it helped but now my skin is itchy really bad. i tried the vitamin E oil and tea tree oil to sooth it but it still itches i did find some yeast cream to stop the itch so i think i will use this till the itch stops then continue with the ACV asprin and castor oil. i don't really know if i have warts they are just an area where it is a littke rough on the periunim (don't know how to spell it) so who kows what it is or if im jsut making it worse for myself. i kinda wish i wouldn't have done this now. i in pain and jsut want all the redness and open sores to go away.

i fanyone has any advice please help me i am getting so sick of this.

I'm sorry, I posted under the wrong post..:(..was suppose to go into the one right under you.. for the "need help in Glouster"..but for you, you should let everything heal.. and if the roughness evoles into little warts, then go at it again the the mixture... you should figure out what you are working with... and the only way to tell is to let it heal...vit e should do the trick, the tree tree oil might be to much right now for you...so that is my advice to you..:)

Well, here's my story. It's kinda long, but I need to vent..so thanks for listening. About a year ago I fell in love...little did I know he had genital warts and by the time I noticed his tiny "skin tags" (as he called them) coming and going, it was too late. I was very ill with a flu and that lowered my immune system and led to a full blown outbreak on my butt. Like 50 of the little buggers in a 3 inch diameter. I was horrified and ashamed. I have only had a few partners in my life anyway and I never had anal sex but I think my hemorroids left an open invitation in that area. I went to the doctor in April 09, sure enough...yep it's genital warts. I was a basket case but she shrugged it off and said, "Just let your body handle it."

Yeah right....how?? So I started reading and stumbled on this web site. So, now I take a plethora of vitamins as well as drinking ACV once a day. When I was first diagnosed I tried the AVC/Cotton ball method and it did work a little bit..but the burning was so unbearable... I could only stand it for a few minutes after the initial soaking. I swear I was on my knees in front of a fan trying not to pee myself from the pain. What a site?!!

Some of them came off, but they were still tiny and new, so I decided to follow the doctors advice and let my body handle it. Fast forward to today....they are only growing and seem to be spreading. Frankly, they are very painful and sore all the time so I decided to give the ACV another go.

Day 1...Ding...Round 1: Soaked the cotton balls with ACV (Organic, not filtered, the mother) I put them on my butt and sat as still as possible for 3 hours. Since it was my first application I was able to hit hard with the liquid ACV.

Same day...Round 2: Immediatly I then cleansed the area and covered it Vitamin E oil and then with ACV paste for about 5 hours. Yes, it burned like hell but it did subside after awhile. I think the aspirin eventually takes away some of the pain. Lets face it...this is not an easy procedure and you have to be dedicated to getting them off of you. The key here is to sit still and it helped to stuff some clean cotton balls around things to prevent rubbing and keep things softer. To make the paste I took 40 plain old aspirin (I used a very small electric grinder used for coffee beans to make a fine powder of the aspirin) I then popped 5 Vitamin E gel caps and added 1 tsp of ACV. It was a little dry so I added a few drops of ACV at a time till it was a smooth toothpaste like consistancy.

Now mind you, I had to reapply a few times between potty breaks...and it was just less painful to jump in the shower rather then trying to wipe all that dried paste off. The warts really hate the ACV and they swell up from the skin because they are aggrevated by the ACV, they will get very sore and turn very white. I almost passed out when I seen how much they had really grown in only a couple months. The first thing I noticed is that the warts turn yellowish and they already started getting dark gray. They truly look like an infection at this point..but dont get scared. This is a good sign. I coated with Vitamin E oil and then some A&D ointment and went to sleep. I am alergic to Neosporin and bactine.

Day 2: Ding: Round 3: I cleaned the area and then dabbed with hyrogen peroxide...let dry...then I put on some Vitamin E oil and finally some more ACV paste. Yep it burned...but I was a trooper and sucked it up for the cause! Stuffed with cottonballs and left it on all day. The longer the better. It may cause a little swelling but it doesn't seem to effect the healthy skin very much at all. The burning is from the wart/sores. I wore loose cloths and eventually just went about my house keeping chores and such and tried to forget about it. I had the occasional twinge of pain but it was nothing like the liquid ACV treatments. About 4 hours later, I took a shower..I didn't even look because I wanted to see how dramatic an effect the paste had..if at all... on my infection.

I was overcome with joy when I started to rub the area in the shower and I literally felt and seen them coming off in my hand. They were whitish and had a very gray/black look to them as well. They seem to need a little rubbing to peel the dead layer of skin off. I could not believe what I was seeing. All the pain and discomfort was well worth the result. When I examined things after my shower I was delighted to see that almost all of them...even in the tiny cracks...had come off. Yes, there are sore red spots where each of them resided...but they are gone to the surface of my skin, no more bump, my skin is smooth for the first time in months and the pain from the sore left behind is not that bad. My healthy skin around the wart sites seems to be in perfect condition as well, just a little pink. It is a welcome site. I covered the area in Vitamin E oil and A&D ointment. I will rest tonight..let things heal a bit..and then go in for the kill.

I am floored that this worked so quickly, I have been suffering both physically and mentally from these little aliens on my tush and I hope this works for anyone who cares to try it. I am a real girl, with a real life and this REALLY is working. Even if they are not all gone...I am considerably relieved from the dicomfort of the large ones.

I could kiss the guy who thought of the paste method. You are my hero dude! Good luck and God Bless ACV!

Thank you so much, dear lady, for sharing your thoughts and experiences because it did make a big difference in my life. I am still amazed at what a difference a day made with this method! I have not treated for a couple days now because I want to let things heal up. I had quite a few of them clustered together and raised up from the skin. They were painful and ugly and now they are all gone with the exception of a couple stubborn small ones. I have been putting J&J first-aid cream on myself now. This works great and it is for abraisions and burns, also water repellant. I considered Desitine as well but didn't have it handy. I am healing very well. Before, I would cringe when I looked in the mirror, but now I keep checking because I cannot believe what a miricle this is for me. I was so sad all the time and this is already allowing me to cope with things better. Worse then the discomfort of the gw's is the mental anguish I feel all the time since being diagnosed.

I know I'm not out of the woods completely and I will be applying more paste within the next day or so. I need to build up my courage. I will keep you posted. Any thoughts on how long you applied after you cleared them?? DO you treat yourself in anyway with ACV to prevent future breakouts?? Thanks in advance for all your input.

I had to respond, because the paste worked for me. I made a paste with 25 aspirin(dollar store)splash of ACV, and ten drops of Vitamin E oil. I applied the paste to my one large wart at the base of my shaft, and continually replaced it as needed for three days/nights. In between re-pasting i used a q-tip with ACV and used the vitamin E oilaround the area. Since I had already bought a vial of liquid wart remover,I used this over the paste and directly on the wart as well. Three days later, the wart f@#%ing fell off today. I am super stoked and grateful for this advice. I am going to apply to the crime-scene just out of paranoia, but I am temporarily free from the ugly grey wart that crimped my style for two-years.

So I'm thinking of trying this since it seems to be less painful than just the ACV alone. I'm a little concerned about when I should start. It took 3 gynos and only through a biopsy to cofirm the warts...Planned Parenthood told me they were POSITIVE they were not, and to be sure I had the biopsy done and while he was doing that as it was already going to be painful I told him he could remove whatever he could. Man was this painful! It's been almost a month now and it's still sore but definitely a lot better, still have the stitches in there. It's not an open wound by any means, should I wait a bit longer or just go gentle?

I've been applying a mix of aloe, vit e and just started with a drop of tea tree oil in there.

Been taking vitamins and trying to get healthier overall.
Any thoughts?

This is a righteous thread. I've been using the Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) for a few days. I originally just had a few. I tried using the freeze method and it seemed to work; still I remained abstinent with the knowledge that it can take up to 2 years for your body to learn to deal with the virus and that the warts are spread through skin to skin contact.

I shaved recently and suddenly was overwhelmed at all the new tiny little dots that had appeared. Worse the one's I froze were back and bigger. I went back to the internet looking for alternate cures and started seeing posts about ACV.

I've done the ACV treatment 3 times now by soaking gauze/cotton balls in the ACV and then using bandaids to hold them in place. I'm a dude, so I can attest that the ACV does not hurt on your outer skin at all - it does however hurt VERY much if you get it on your tip (the meatus); in truth it still doesn't hurt nearly as bad as the freezing method. I left the ACV on all night each time (8 hours).

Some of the warts reacted right away, getting little black/dark brown dots or turning grey. These warts all started to partially or fully fall off. The dark areas came off immediately with the grey ones hanging on longer. The warts that were previously frozen are tougher, they turn white and the skin turns kind of soft. If you exfoliate them afterwards they definitely shave down in size and go more pink.

Warts you didn't know were there will suddenly appear, which will stress you out, but they are also the first to fall off and are the tiniest.

In addition to freezing I had also tried the 'Wart Stick' and SOMXL. I used both products until they were completely gone - the warts were barely affected at all. The SOMXL burns similarly to freezing though not nearly as intense.

ACV is the first thing I've used that has had a significant impact on them. It doesn't damage the non wart skin and has an immediate visceral reaction to the warts. I'm still not totally out of the woods. The ACV does smell very strong, so I've avoided applying it during the day when I'm at work, etc. I also waited several days between my second application and my third to give my skin some time to recover. I'd also heard from another post that after 2 over night applications warts fell off within 8 days. Many of them have definitely fallen off, though the older previously treated ones are hanging in a bit tougher.

Thank you all for sharing, I am more relieved after reading this thread.
