5 out of 5 stars

My daughter has had a nasty wart on her knee for almost 7 months and we have been to the Dr. twice and had it frozen and have tried every o/c treatment there is out there finally got referred to a dermotologist.. Very expensive so far! SO I decided to search for some home remedies before we go to another costly Dr.and found out about Apple Cider Vinegar, boy am I glad we did!! After 3 days of treating it it began to turn black, on the 4th day it actually shriveled up and fell off!! YEAH!! For the next few days we still treated it to make sure we got the root!! What a great home remedy!!

ACV Cure for Warts

I have had numerous warts in my short life, mostly on my feet. Unfortunately I grew one on my middle finger of my right hand my freshman year of college. I tried EVERYTHING, at home freezing, Dr. Freezing, wart creams, duct tape... Yeah, everything. Sometimes it would look like it would shrink a little just to come back bigger the next week. Then I read about ACV for warts. Let me tell you when nothing else works this stuff does! Just dampen a piece of a cotton ball with the ACV and put a bandage on to keep it there and continue as usual.

The downsides, it hurts like the dickens! Not at first or always, but it started to burn. After a few days my wart started to peel a little and shed a "layer". When I reapplied the ACV to the wart after taking the layer off, it burned a little all night. Then the next layer of the wart would get tough and it wouldn't hurt so bad. This happened repeatedly. Each time another layer would come off the ACV burned even more. I consider myself to be decent with pain, but there were nights I absolutely could not get to sleep because it burned so bad. It really felt like I was holding my finger up to a lighter.

Now, almost as soon as I took the ACV off at night, the pain eased - so if it becomes there's quick relief. Eventually I had a little crater in my finger where the wart had been. I probably kept the ACV up longer than I needed (about 2 weeks for the darn thing), but with all I had tried I was scared to stop.

But that was it, it was gone and it's been 5 years now.
