trying to work out a signature name on here, kinda funny, I think I signed differently a couple times, I think I can remeber FYI, so I'll just use that.
..just wanted to educate and share some info here...

when you are researching hpv you may stumble across some sites that say it can't be 'cured' and some say it can, for those interested I thought I'd clear that up...
1. hpv is a local topical infection, it isn't running throughout your body, it is where it is, and where you touch it to...ok?
2. you clear up the infected place(s) and you 'could' say you are 'cured' and you 'might' be cured...trouble is...
3. hpv is a virus...teeny tiny...you 'could'(and most people do) have one infected little cell or so that might not be active, this is how you have another outbreak in 6months or whenever.(this is also why some say it isn't 'curable', there is no way to know if it is all gone or not)

so to be on the safe side you call it incurable since you cannot prove that it is all gone, but really it is able to be cured and NO ONE can ever PROVE it. there is NO WAY to check each and every cell...
..don't let this bother you, nothing has changed, hpv is still hpv, you just know a little more about it now...

Hi all, been suffering about two months. I've been into herbs for years, so knew about tea tree oil. It's been very painful, so switched over to fenugreek seed cooked and smushed, or you can grind it then add water to make a paste...it's very soothing, but I noticed that I still had some there where when I pee it would hit them, so harder to get rid of. But for soothing, I highly recommend fenugreek. I'm going to alternate between tea tree oil and monistat cream & vinegar. I did almost get rid of them like I said with tea tree, but the pain is horrendous! Something else to take when you get rid of them is olive leaf, it's supposed to seriously stop them in their tracks. I got them from my husband, and didn't get them till 11 yrs later! I had a total hysterectomy, and horrid hot flashes. Finally on hormones, but all that sweating down there and living in the south, plus my immune system down, I got them! When I get rid of them, from now on I'm going to wipe once a day with tea tree on a cotton round, to make sure they don't come back!!

I used Air Duster and froze them myself. You simply find a plastic piece with a small hole at the top to cover the infected area, for instance I used the top of a Dawn dishwashing liquid bottle. You should use a surgical face mask or a bandana so you don’t inhale the fumes, witch is very unlikely. You should also use a pair of eye goggles to cover you eyes; these can be found at Home Depot. Now that all safety measures have been taken you can begin the procedure. First take the plastic peace and cover the infected area. Second while holding the plastic piece over the wart, turn the Air Duster can upside down and spray the wart for 2 to 3 seconds until the area is pinkish red in color and the wart is frosted over. This action may sting a bit but the pain will pass in less than a second. Now all you have to do is wait, the area under the wart should turn black and blue in a matter of days and the wart will fall off in lest than a week. I tried this procedure after going to a doctor and having the wart burnt off the first time. They came back a month latter and could not afford to go back. I have successfully removed my warts with this procedure and it’s extremely simple, taking only minutes to do and will only cost you $5.00 or so aside from the face mask and goggles which you only have to buy once. Hope this helps!

From what I've seen and heard, ACV, Oxyfend and Wartamine are by far the best genital warts treatments available. There are too many salesmen and promo people pushing Wartrol and other brands which seriously takes away their credibility. Read what's on the websites, it makes a big difference to choose a treatment from a company that actually UNDERSTANDS how frustrating genital warts can be.

so i used the ACV treatment every one is talking about, IT DID NOT WORK! i was so optimistic when i heard about this home remedy, so this is what happened: i used ACV for 2 days ( probably 3-4 hours) when i woke up on day 3, the GW had not changed color, shape, or any thing, but the skin around the warts had turned black so i stopped using ACV and now after 4 days the skin all around the GW's has pealed, the black part fell off the skin is red and tender and whats worst is the GW's are there and nothing has happened to them, and this is what exactly puzzled when i was reading aother peoples comments, how can u not hurt the normal skin while getting rid off the warts?
so has this happened to anyone? any suggestions? i really want these suckers gone and dont want to pay 370$ for the stuff the doctor prescribed me (my freakin insurance company doesnt cover it for some weird reason)

Hello everyone! I wanted to take the time to write my story and hopefully give some of you who are experiencing breakouts a little piece of mind and hope! It's a little long, but please take the time and consider how I eliminated my genital warts (hopefully for good!).

Now let me just start off by saying that I have NEVER engaged in unprotected sex. I am 20 years old and I am the most honest and trustworthy person that I know. I have only had a small handful of sexual partners in my life. If you are feeling like you are the most disgusting person in the world because of your warts (I certainly did...), please rest assured that this happens to even the best of us and it is absolutely not the case. I was extremely, for lack of a better word, depressed for months because of these bumps. I let genital warts define me and it took a huge toll on my emotional state. I am an American currently studying abroad in Paris, France, and to an extent I allowed the warts to interfere with my social life here in Europe. Looking back, I wish I had never done such a thing, as being here I've realized that I'm supposed to be having the time of my life! (I am now, thank god!).

About six months ago I noticed that I had a bump on scrotum. After shaving, I noticed that they had spread and soon I saw as many as 15 warts on the shaft of my penis. DO NOT SHAVE, IT SPREADS THE WARTS. I had no idea what to do about them. I went to my doctor and he diagnosed them as genital herpes (they had turned red and DID in fact resemble genital herpes). Thinking it wasn't that big of a deal, I used the cream that he gave me. But to no avail, the bumps stayed. That is when I self-diagnosed the bumps as genital warts.

I stumbled across this website and tried several methods that I had read. As I was more than ready to see the bumps disappear, I tried burning them off myself. I took a needle to a lighter and started to poke the little guys until I had thought that they been completely burned off. Afterwards, I used a disinfecting alcohol to prevent them from spreading. This method worked great, as the warts had literally all been burned off. HOWEVER I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS METHOD. I was naive and impatient and now I am left with about five visible scars on the shaft of my penis, which is almost worst than having the warts in the first place in my opinion. I'm using a lot of Vitamin E oil (extremely difficult to find in Paris, let me tell you...), and after about a month the scars are starting to fade. I have faith that they will disappear sooner or later.

After realizing that I had made a terrible mistake, I tried the apple cider vinegar method. I am so happy I found this method, because it worked quite well! I dipped cotton balls and the ends of cotton swabs in the ACV and placed them directly on the wart, covering them with bandages. I did this every night and sometimes during the day. Small warts disappeared within days, while larger ones took about a week or so. Remember to use alcohol after you remove the band aids to ensure that they do not spread!

I read on this blog that some people chose to DRINK apple cider vinegar as well. I tried this, but for some reason or another I developed MORE warts by doing this. I am wondering if it is maybe because it had the option to travel throughout my body? I'm not sure. But I developed dozens of warts on my hands, elbows, feet, and on my knees. Not sure if this is all related, but soon after I stopped drinking ACV they stopped spreading. I used TEA TREE OIL on them and they were gone in less than a week.

After about a month and a half of the ACV treatment I was happy that I was almost completely wart free (only one or two remain). I'm using tea tree oil on small warts that appear, which seems to kill the wart in one or two days. I'm so happy I found tea tree oil.

I also credit my change in diet and several diet supplements in the prevention of another outbreak. I researched natural remedies for preventing/treating genital warts and came up with a lot of ways to boost my immune system so that my body can suppress the virus into a dormant state. Along with the tea tree oil, I take:

Vitamin C once a day - 500 mg
L-Lysine pill morning and night - 500 mg
Garlic pills morning and night - 2000 mg
One A Day men's multivitamin once a day
Echinacea pills morning and night - 325 mg
Vitamin A and D pill morning and night

Also, most importantly, a Vitamin B complex once a day (Vitamin B1 9000% Daily Value; B2 7000% DV; B6 7000% DV; B12 4000% DV)

I also started running again after about a year-long hiatus and, along with the supplements, my body has never felt better. I've made a conscious effort to eat more fruits and vegetables throughout the day and I drink an insane amount of water. Also, very important, I stopped consuming excess amounts of alcohol (a task which has been a little difficult as a 20-year-old study-abroad student). I drink wine with meals often, but as I'm in France I wouldn't consider it any different from water haha.

I've been on this regimen for about a month and a half now and I have been seeing great results. Small warts appear here and there, but with the tea tree oil they are gone in days. Other than that I am pretty confident that my immune system is keeping things in check.

I apologize for the insanely long message, but I just want everyone to know that there is life after genital warts. I thought that, as a 20 year old, my sex life was over (HORRIBLE thought, I know...), but things are starting to look up.

First I want to say thankyou to everybody that made a post on here b.c yall really helped me out.

I'm a 21y/o male an for the most I have protected sex but I've slipped up a couple times. Anyway id notice 2 small bumps along my 'happy trail' about 3 months ago but I didn't really pay attention until my groin started to itch more than usual an upon further I inspection I saw a couple more bigger bumps. So immediately I panic an started searching the internet for help.

I came across this site an it helped me out a lot. I was a lil skeptical about acv at first but I said wat hell an tried it. So I shave all my pubic hairs off an applied the acv to the areas an it burned like hell but the next day they started to turn white. But I still had a couple stubborn warts, so I decided to make a paste. I basically crushed up 500mg vitamin c pills an mixed with the acv.

Wow, it burned a little but was very pleased with the results this was just yesterday an the warts are already getting smaller an some even turning black.

This really works At first I didnt believe it. Apple Cider Vinegar is the key, some cotton balls, and I used medical tape. I heard all kinds of tape works but i wasn't about to put duct tape on my Johnson. =)
So Put the cotton balls in the vinegar and tape them over the wart or warts before you go to bed. REMOVE in morning and go about your day. Do this every night UNTILL THEY TURN BLACK. I kept applying the vinegar and left the cotton taped on for 2 days straight because I wanted them dead and gone. DONT DO THAT!! I only ended up burning my skin so not only did I have the warts to heal I had about 3 burns I called them. They healed fast but it still looked BAD, and burned. When the warts turn black they are dead and you just have to wait for them to fall off.
Sounds crazy mine were sitting there for close to 5 years before I decided to try this. Within 3 days they should turn black and it took about 3 or 4 more days for them to fall off. After they come off use some skin cream. I am using some knock off neosporin with pain relief because I helped one a little and pulled the dead wart off. DONT DO THIS EITHER, It was hanging on by like a thread, what will it hurt I thought, and yeah it hurts so don't pull them off the one I let fall off naturally is just fine didnt hurt burn and the new skin looks better then the other.
The skin will heal under the wart as it is falling off just like a scab. So use the Vinegar and cotton leave them alone and all will be good in about a week. I heard they dont come back either. JUST TRY IT!! YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT THEM WARTS =) or GOOGLE VINEGAR WART ..It will tell you the samething I just did because it works.

Thank Me Later. I wish I had someone that broke it down before I tried it and left it taped on too long. OUCH! It would have saved me the oh my god what did i do to myself day.

Hi everyone...this is a long post, but I wanted to give as much detail and daily progress reports and descriptions to help the reader. In sum, Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) method works! Be patient and strong.

I was a 31 yr old virgin and only had one partner when I discovered bumps. I’ve had them for a couple months not thinking much of them since they were painless. But got super stressed last month and they seemed to get more defined in texture over skin and multiply….that’s when I started doing research. I am so lucky I didn’t inadvertently spread them to other body areas since I had no clue! I think what helped is that not knowing what they were and prior to any online research I just took it upon myself to swab the areas with facial astringent once daily thinking it would just clear up and go away. Perhaps the acid in the astringent kept them at bay.

Pre any treatment, warts were pink and skin colored….kind of hard to make out other than bumpy texture. They were obviously elevated over the regular healthy skin and a couple had little growths which is what I initially felt when bathing that alerted me to further inspect the area to see what was going on down there.

Day 1. Bought ACV, cotton balls, hydrogen peroxcide, Vita C chewable tablets, Vita C and E combo pill, and 5-hour energy shots. I have already been taking a multi vita and B6 and B12, cranberry pills, calcium with Vita D daily for years so I just continued with them.

At 4pm I clean area with hydrogen peroxide then apply ACV with taped cotton to area. ACV initially goes on and feels just like any cool liquid on skin…no real burn, just cold.

8pm changed cotton balls and applied new ones with ACV for night. At change…all where bright white with crisp, clear boundaries between each wart and the regular skin. Based on my research I knew at this point I was dealing with warts due to their reaction to the vinegar. In addition, they had a cauliflower like appearance like what I found in my research. At this change I again cleaned with hydrogen peroxide before applying new ACV soaked cotton balls taped to the areas for the night. I had no real pain or discomfort and slept fine. It was just an odd sensation to have cotton balls taped to me was all.

Slept with ACV taped cotton balls to 4 am next day. I had to get up and do some work…I could have slept longer…still no pain at this point.

Day 2

4am At check, all were white, but not as blindingly white as before…noticeably less pronounced..some slight yellowing, some seem to be receding (no longer protruding as bumps instead getting more flat). The color and texture are similar to finger tips when you keep them in water for an extended period….whitish and smooshy looking. They are still defined but not as starkly as yesterday evening. I clean with hydrogen peroxide. Then apply ACV by swabbing on areas, but not taping cotton balls to the area. It burns. I drink a 5 hour energy shot.

I have two cups green tea (flavored).

7:30 – noticeably more yellowing of warts. Not nearly as defined anymore. Some already turning green-grey and others going dark. I shower with antibacterial soap. Clean with hydrogen peroxide and then apply ACV via cotton ball. Really burns. I do not tape cotton to area as I have to go to work. I also put Neosporin over entire area.

Noon. Very noticeable change in appearance! No longer a lot of white…instead some are turning pink, green-grey occurring in areas, and A few small ones are going dark brown…noticeable graying of warts overall. Hard to make out boundaries of warts. Some of the pink ones are blending in with the inflamed surrounding skin. I clean with hydrogen peroxide. Apply ACV. Super burn…but I keep swabbing area for a couple minutes. I let the ACV dry on my skin. I have to grit my teeth and it is hard to sit down…very uncomfortable for about 15 minutes max, then pain subsides.

4:30 pm grey-green color spreading throughout warts more…but not too much change. I think I am over eager and watching them too much at this point. I cleaned area again with hydrogen peroxide and swabbed more ACV on the areas. Burns as bad as last time but not more which is promising. I just let the ACV dry on my skin and wait out the pain. Pain intensifies over next several minutes to point where I fan myself down there which makes pain ease. I have a very high threshold for pain but this treatment intensified so much that I do not think I will be taping cotton of ACV to myself tonight. The pain is quite excruciating. I put Neosporin on the areas to ease the pain and help the skin heal.

11p.m. grey-green color much more noticeable in all wart areas. They almost appear like mucous especially due to the sheen of the Neosporin. The warts seem to be shrinking somewhat as well. The areas are still a little sore. Will not put anything else on areas to give skin chance to heal a little. Slept with just Neosporin on areas.

Day 3

7 am no real change just a little more grey green throughout area. They seem a tad smaller, but I don’t know if I just keep checking them so much that my eyes are playing tricks on me. Soreness from the ACV treatment yesterday is gone.

Honestly, I kind of get depressed that there is no real change at this point especially since so many changes took place yesterday.

9 am I decide it’s time for more ACV. I put this off all morning based on the pain level of using it the last time yesterday. But I want them gone so I brace myself for treatment, I take some toilet paper and soak it in ACV and press it in and on the affected areas. I decided to try toilet paper in case the pain got so bad I needed to just take everything off asap and rinse the area immediately. To my surprise, it only burned a little and not nearly as bad as yesterday. I left the ACV soaked toilet paper in place for an hour and a half. (Using toilet paper rather than taping cotton balls is MUCH easier and the paper stayed in place well though I didn’t move much.)

10:30 am. I remove the toilet paper. All the warts are now white again. I don’t know what to think as I remember other people’s accounts that they should be turning black and falling off. However, even though they are white, they are not snow white like with the very first vinegar treatment and they are no longer defined individual warts….rather it appears they are again losing structural definition, meaning that ones near each other that used to be individual are now melted into each other, which I guess is a good sign. Some new little ones that I discovered by the vinegar method yesterday appear to have totally disappeared even though they were white yesterday and never turned black. I do not know if they fell off as others have noticed or just receded.

Others have said they noticed warts coming off when wiping themselves after using the restroom. I make a point to not rub the area when wiping myself for two reasons: I don’t want to further irritate and rub my already raw skin and I don’t want to risk spreading the virus to nearby healthy tissue. I gently pat myself dry and then swab some hydrogen peroxide all over. I have not yet experienced any pain with urination hitting the affected areas which is actually surprising.

Had cup of green tea and took another dose of 500 mg vita C along with vita E just because.

11 am Encouraged that the ACV toilet paper wasn’t as painful as I was expecting based on yesterday afternoon, at this time I decide to use more sturdy paper towel strips soaked in ACV. I pressed the strips in place and with help of my panties they stay put very well. The burning from the new application of the ACV got pretty painfully intense for about 15 minutes but I stuck it out and then it greatly dissipated. It is now an hour later and I just feel a dull, bearable ache down there.

12:30 I had to use the rest room so my paper towel strips needed to be replaced. I made two fresh ACV soaked strips and applied them to the areas. For first minute I was relieved because there was no pain…but then, wow, pain spiked quickly. It was as excruciating as yesterday afternoon when I couldn’t take it. But this time I forced myself to gut it out. I had to lay down because sitting was impossible and it seemed to help to lay on back with knees elevated. The pain intensified and was nearly unbearable for a good 20 minutes. Felt like fire then subsided to what felt like my whole genital area was badly bruised. I really fought to not take the paper towels off and rinse with water. It is now an hour later and the burning ache is still very there and I cannot sit down comfortably. I am only now able to get up and function again. The only thing that pushed me through the pain was visualizing those warts being burned off of me. No pain, no gain.

3:15 pm. I held off using restroom as long as possible because there was no way I was going to re-apply ACV today again. Now the warts had the appearance of toasted marshmellows….white but many had dark brown, yellowing tops. I think I see areas of faint white rings around pink skin where some very small warts were but can’t see well enough to know if that is where some warts came off or if those are just what dying warts look like. Entire area still very sore. I gently cleaned everything with hydrogen peroxide and applied generous layer of Neosporin. Still uncomfortable when sitting it is that sore.

10:30 pm some of the brown has disappeared from areas…the warts are tending more towards grey than white. They are flatter and seem to be getting smaller. I am noticing just a few pieces of what appear to be both skin colored and dark skin tissue on my toilet paper when I pat myself dry. I am still sore so I just apply more Neosporin for the night.

Day 4

7:30 am Some warts are still tinged with dark brown…others are grey-ish. They are definitely smaller in size. I also notice that it appears all the random newbies that were trying to form around the ground zero outbreak site have disappeared. It now looks like the last hold outs are the bigger warts that were at the initial site of the outbreak. They were the biggest I guess because they are the oldest. I cleaned with hydrogen peroxide took a breath and braced myself for the ACV. I soaked some toilet paper to apply to the areas. Shockingly, while it did burn…it was not nearly as bad as yesterday. I tried to visualize the ACV burning through them.

9:15 am All the warts turned whitish again in response to the vinegar. The ones that were topped with brown are now going blackish. It looks like there are small, shallow, yellowish little craters where some warts used to be. I don’t know if that is what it looks like when they fall off or if they just die and recede. I am noticing small red dots size of a pin head here and there which appears to be blood. There are still some stubborn warts in the initial outbreak area which are not yellow yet. However, in comparison to pictures I took before and after first treatment…entire area is much better looking: warts are diminishing in size and some are now gone. I am about to shower so I rubbed a little antibacterial body wash over the entire affected area to sit there awhile. After shower, cleaned area with hydrogen peroxide and applied Neosporin.

Day 5.

Unexpectedly out of town. Did absolutely nothing but shower. Took no vitamins. I didn’t have ability to inspect the area so I cant report on their appearance at all. Right before bed I applied a swabbing of ACV to the areas, but it burned too badly to leave soaked toilet paper on areas so just let it air dry and went to bed.

Day 6.

11:30 am No brown or yellowing…area is all flesh colored and warts have receded substantially, and at first glance I thought the area was completely healed since everything looked so clear. I noticed dark pieces on toilet paper. Also, the area looks substantially better! On closer inspection, many are gone, there are the last bit of a few big ones right on the initial outbreak site, but they are much smaller and flatter and appear to be receding even more. I applied ACV soaked paper towels strips to the areas. It burned and was uncomfortable but not very painful.

4:15 pm Removed ACV paper towels. Area is definitely looking better with just the oldest biggest warts still noticeable…but they are continually diminishing in size and texture. No browning or yellowing of area…just white in response to the ACV treatment. Skin surrounding the initial outbreak areas which once had small to mid-size warts now looks completely healed. Cleaned area with hydrogen peroxide and applied Neosporin.

Day 7

7 am. Noticeable difference throughout entire area. Many have gone…just the initial bigger ones seem to persist at the initial outbreak sites..I guess because they are older and maybe deeper? Even they have receded a lot. It appears they have little growths which seem to be the most resistant to my efforts. The area almost feels smooth to the touch except for the little growths. All is pretty much skin colored except the little growths which are white. I swabbed on some antibacterial body soap to soak in a little before I shower.

Shaved over them. Afterwards it looks like razor took off some of the warts skin leaving several bright fushia raw spots. I cleaned area with hydrogen peroxide and put Neosporin over area-scared to use ACV since it looks raw.

Day 8

9:30 am Wow. Entire area looks healed!! There is some redness in areas where skin was raw and healing. I see no big warts at all! I do see a few very tiny baby ones here and there but nothing like what I had. I cleaned area with hydrogen peroxide and applied ACV soaked paper towels. I refuse to stop treatment until every little sign is gone. The ACV slightly tingles the area kind of like what an itch would feel like…no burning, no discomfort at all anymore. I am thinking it is because the skin is mostly healed and there are few warts being attacked at this point.

I am so happy with the results! 8 days of worry and pain…but it was worth it. I am confident in next day or so all will be gone. I wish you all luck with your cases as well!

I was a nurse and never on my thought out of the blue I would get genital warts. I'm only with one sexual partner and I guess I got from him. Nothing blame after all. It made me so desperately feel so self degrading knowing I have let this happen to me. But after all sht happens all the time. I was having shower till I noticed a bump on the sides of my vagina. The outer side, till I check it on the mirror and I am confident it is a wart. I think they multiplied since I started noticing them days ago thought it was just nothing. So I googled home remedy for it. Till acv rings the bell everywhere here. That night there was nothing in our cupboard but white vinegar. So I used it for the mean time. Till tomorrow after work, I went to the shops and bought those things. Apple cider vinegar, cotton balls, garlic tablets, b complex tablets, and tea tree oil. I started it at home Monday night after a hot shower. At first it wasnt too bad till my skin are absorbing the acv that's the time the burning sensation is killing me softly. I forgot I got some ibuprofen tablets too . I took 2 tablets 30 minutes before I put the cotton balls soaked on acv. So what I did, I used a scotch tape to let the soaked cotton balls stay in place on my vagina. I left it for overnight. My sleep wasn't really good, I woke up 2am and can still a bit of burning went back to sleep. And early in the morning while having shower I washed my vagina thoroughly with lukewarm water and vaginal wash. Afterwards, I let it dry and as I have seen it went white. the warts were gone whitish! So I soaked the cotton balls into tea tree oil applied it to area infected and I left the cotton ball for almost 3hours. Second day, Tuesday arvo while having a wee I noticed they went black. I started putting tea tree oil again for skin healing fast. I stopped using acv on the second night too keep my skin too much burning. I used tea tree oil instead, and while checking the area they all went went black like scabs. The warts are started to fall of while I was applying the Tea tree oil. I was amazed and felt relieved after finally seeing its worth the pain paying for. Don't forget that genital warts is caused by a virus not infection. One thing is important keep your immune system on its highest level. The moment it goes down like you are stress, sleep deprived and etc there's a tendency they will show off again. I'm drinking but c 1000mg a day, garlic tablets and b complex tablets plus lots of water. Remember that genital herpes is a virus. It is curable but the virus stays in our body and we can't get rid of it anymore. It is in our cells already and they get alarmed onced the time our immune system goes down. Hope this works for you. Thank you for this site and it really helped alot. Just a bit of a patience reading and endure the burning sensation as acv is a strong acid.

Other people have mentioned Apple cider vinegar and I just wanted to relay my experience which got rid of the warts on application.

1. Using a cotton bud, apply a small amount of Vaseline around the wart to protect the skin.

2. Dip a clean cotton bud into small amount of ACV and then apply this to the wart using a gentle, but firm, back and fort, rubbing action.

3. Repeat using a second clean cotton bud. You will notice the wart turns white, and then you are likely to see some blood. Do not be alarmed at this stage - the blood is a sign that the wart is being dislodged. Wipe the blood away with a tissue and continue.

4. Having repeated this using about 4/5 clean, cotton buds dipped in ACV, within about 10 minutes, or less the wart will fall away from the skin.

5. Wipe the area clean with a tissue, apply some Savlon to help the skin heal.

6. Skin in the genital area takes longer to heal than other parts of the body because it is damp and warm, but within a week you should be back to normal.

7. Avoid sex until the area has fully healed.

After finding warts near my vagina I freaked out and went to the planned parenthood to see what they were. Sure enough they were warts. (This can happen to anyone! So don't feel embarresed or ashamed. I read and my doctor at planned parenthood told me that 90% of Americans will go through this at some point in their lives. They put acid that burned on the ones that were there are now there are faint scars. The acid did not work for everything. This is when i went with the home remidies.
I put apple cider viniger on all of them, tea tree oil and vitamin E on the existing scars to help with the healing. My scars are now almost invisible.
The apple cider is a little painful and does not provide instant relief. It is a week process.
What i did was i wrapped them up in the apple cider every night and kept them wrapped for as long as i could during the day.
a week later they were looking much better and there is only one left that is stubborn but i think that the ACV got most of it off. All the tiny ones i popped like a pimple and i got the root of the wart out. THANK GOD. i know it sounds bad but if you can get away with the pain its ok to pop the very small ones and be sure to put HYDROGEN PEROXIDE to make sure that the wart that is popped is sterile and will NOT SPREAD to other areas of your genital region.

I read so much and researched alot about these things This was my first outbreak and they are almost all gone and i am hopeful that they won't come back. Everyone's case is different and there are things that work for some and not others. Listen to your body and do what you feel is right. I am very lucky that i have such a supportive boyfriend that has been here helping me get through it physically and emotionally (it is just as much of a battle emotionally as is is dealing with the physical warts!)
And please be sure not to get too down and don't let it effect your everyday life. I spent many nights crying and upset and it is very tough but you can get through it and come out strong.

And for any young people, don't be scared to tell someone that you trust. It is alot better to go through something like this with someone rather than to try to do it all by yourself, no one will judge you and i personally was suprized with someone that i went to about this. My friend, a beautiful women and mother told me about the homeopathic ways that she remidied hers when she contracted it when she was 16.
Do your research, listen to your body and you will be ok.
Any questions just comment back and i will get back to you.
Take care

Listen people, This virus is bigger than us. Yes maybe if you catch it in the very very beginning a doctor can burn it and if you change your life style your body will beat it. But it sounds like most are in my position... Which is they went a while in denial and the virus had time to grow. I actually posted on this website a year ago and went at my situation aggressively. AVC, burning, freezing, vitamins, etc. Sure it all works a little, they go away, but more will come. Becuase the virus is everywhere, and the reason its coming up is becuase its viral load can over power our immune system. So what to do.... COMMIT!!!! and after 3.5 years of having the virus and 1.5 years of knowing that i was living with it, im making the plunge, and let me tell you....its absolutely no fun. SO first of all stop living in denial and going to the grocery to buy AVC or to office depot to buy cans of duster to freeze qtips (done it all and more). Go see a doctor you can talk to, that doesnt make you feel like a scum bag bc you have an STD. Took me 3 tries untill success. BTW, i am a college educated, attractive/fit, 26 year professional, just to give you a idea of what a doctor sees when i walk in. Also just on a side note, i didnt catch this from hooking up with sorority girls all the time during college. I caught it from my girlfriend of 5.5 years that i am still with, she does not show the symptoms of the virus and caught it from the only other guy she has ever been with prior to me. Go figure, huh? That was just an aside to people who are feeling so horrible about their lives, it can happen to anyone. Back to business....I found a doctor that i can talk to, she did a biopsy and it came back positive for the HPV virus. Not sure what strand, just hoping that its not the high risk, most that show GWs are not. So she then suggested a perscription called Veregen. You can go do your own research on it, there isnt too much to be honest. But i was hoping it would do everything that AVC will but with out the short comings of AVC (ie. aweful smell, burning of skin, application process, and not being something engineered to perform this task) So Veregen is a orange ointment that comes in a small 15 gram tube. You will find a few bad reviews of this drug becuase it does what you never want to happen. IT BRINGS OUT EVERYTHING. Not just the GWs that are visible, the ones that are hanging out under your skin, continuing to add to the HPV viral load. So for me, i have it everywhere; penis head, shaft, testicles, cracks of my leg, perenium, and worst of all....yes my anus. Welcome to it people, i hope no ones experience is as aweful as mine, but the more an more i read, the more common i see this situation. Oh and i have never engaged in any anal activities with a female and especially not with a male, i am straight, nor did have any signs of GWs in any other region besides my penis. After realizing the severity of the situation i decided to stop doing my penis region and focus down there because i dont think i would be able to function in normal settings, like work. So i have spent 5 weeks applying to my perenium and anal region. Its way worse than anyone will ever care to imagine, but getting better by the day. Tonight i finally am going to continue all the other areas. I was depressed and started researching and kept seeing how stupid people are, like i once was, and decided to put out an intellegent post. So guys, im committing to this. I take about 10 different vitamins per day and also was perscribed to Tagamet 400mg bi daily (do your research you will see why i take this), exercise daily, and eat very well. You are what you eat. So that is waht i am doing. I cant promise its going to work, but i can promise all this half ass stuff will not, and that is from experience. If anything it has made it worse because treating this unsuccessfully is when it will spread the most. Guys its going to be expensive, its going to be painful, its going to be emotionally devastating!!!! But you cant just not do anything. I have one amazing tip that i discovered and i havent found anything about it on the internet. If you decide to pursue the Veregen method, which i feel is the most realistic method for people who have been living with the virus for an extended period of time. For example, lets say i could have gotten the ones burned off that i could see, which were very small and nothing like the horrific pictures you see on the internet, i would have never known that i had them everywhere else. I want them gone and i want to supress this virus. Back to my tip, the veregen costs $300 per 15g tube. I can use a tube in less than 5 days. With insurance my perscription costs 60 bucks. So lets say i get 6 tubes in a month, thats 360 bucks. I would do it if i had to but i called my insurance to see what could be done. They told me they have to dispense whatever the doctor perscribes. Meaning if the doctor says i need 90 grams, then they have to dispense me 6 tubes of veregen for one copay. BOOOM. It feels good to win one. I plan to continue updating my progress on this forum. This has made me feel better. I can talk to my girlfriend about it but not like this, becuase she just feels so aweful for being the reason i have it, and she starts crying. Please feel free to comment and ask questions. Or if anyone would like to chat about it. There is only one person in my life that knows about this and i know im lucky bc if it wasnt for her than i wouldnt have anyone that i can express my frustration to. I have plenty more i would like to say in this message but i know its already lengthy. Good Luck.

Recently I have noticed I have genital warts and did not want to go to the doctor because of money and embarrasment. I went to walgreens and bought the walgreens brand wart remover for common and plantar warts. I applied it twice a day and within a couple days they were gone. It burns a little when you first put it on because of the acid in it but its a miracle. Turns white and kind of hard when you put the liquid wart remover on it.

I had only had sex once in my life (unprotected) so when I had a very small bump on my penis I was in denial that it was a genital wart.

After ignoring it for a year I decided to do something, just in case. I dipped a q-tip in apple cider vinegar and held it to the bump. I varied between holding it to the spot and rubbing it. Within about 15 minutes it had gone flat and was red. The next day it turned black.

For three nights I held a q-tip to the area for 45 minutes. I stopped after a scab formed. I figured it was pointless to apply it to the scab.

The scab fell off today and there is a small hole from where the wart used to be. The skin around the hole is very thick. Is this normal? Did anyone else experience this?

To make sure it is completely killed off I held a q-tip to the hole for about 5 minutes and stopped after it hurt too bad.

The ACV definitely works. I've used different remedies for warts on my hand as a kid and I'd say this is the best one I've found. Hopefully it doesn't come back.

I had g.w on my foreskin and a big one on my sharft of my penis,

So I went a brought some ACV, now I know some people are saying it don't work for them but it worked a treat for me so mite aswell try it. I got some acv from my supermarket for cheap it cost nothing,some garlic tablets from a pharmise dere on the shelves and again very cheap, and some alo vrea gel, I had this already, some bandaids and some duct tape,.

Monday- before bed I soaked a bandaid in some Acv and wraped it round the sharft of my penis then use the duct tape and secure it in place,now at firt I didn't feel nithing I firt it won't working, but wait 5 mins and it starts to kick in!

At night get ready for round two, but this time it will be more painfull sorry,

Hi all,

I have been using ACV to treat my genital warts for about 3 months now. I found ACV to be very effective for smaller warts, but for the ones that had deeper roots (a problem I believe was caused by my using Freeze away on them-this didn't work and I think actually made them infect the deeper skin levels) it was very difficult to keep up with the treatment until the infected tissue was gone. For the bigger ones, I basically had to burn off the skin down to the dermis (under layer of skin, looks all red and 'meaty') to get rid of the warty tissue. This largely worked though unfortunately one of my larger warts came back, and I also had the problem of periodic spreading when I had all these open sores down there.

Anyway, I had noticed people talking about tea tree oil on here, and though I was skeptical, I decided to do some research. I was pretty confident with the ACV treatment, since the active ingredient is acetic acid (which is why you can really use any kind of vinegar, fyi) which is structurally quite similar to trichloracetic acid, one of the remedies doctors use in the office.

So I started to do some research into herbs traditionally used for genital warts. There is not much information on the mechanism of action for tea tree oil, but it is a general antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial agent so I figured it was plausible that it could work on warts.

I also looked into the herbs celandine, thuja and mandrake root.

Celandine (aka chelidonium) is a plant extract, and has historically been used to treat warts. The sap contains proteolytic enzymes and and a cysteine protease inhibitor called chelidostatin. This sounds complicated, but basically proteolytic enzymes are involved in breaking down proteins (which would be great if it could specifically target viral proteins) and cysteine protease inhibitors are involved in a variety of biochemical processes in the body, including immune response. So basically these chemicals may plausibly help the body attack the HPV virus in the skin. Celandine, like thuja, has also been noted to have anti-cancer properties.

Thuja oil is extracted from the thuja tree, a species of evergreen tree, and has been used as a treatment for genital warts for centuries. Thuja has antiviral effects and has been shown to be an effective treatment for herpes as well as regular warts. It contains thujone, a chemical that has been shown to induce the proliferation of CD4 T cells (white blood cells that attack viruses and bacteria) as well as increasing the production of cytokines (interleukin, another important antiviral immune response). So I don't think it's unreasonable that thuja could have beneficial effects on genital warts.

Most importantly, I did some research into mandrake root extract (aka mayapple). The scientific name of the plant is podophyllum peltatum, and the effective ingredient in mandrake is podophyllotoxin. Notably, podophyllotoxin is the primary ingredient in the prescription drug Condylox, which is regulated by the FDA and is an approved treatment for genital warts (and the only drug I know of besides Aldara used for genital warts). Condylox has a fairly high rate of effectiveness, though naturally that is going to be a much more concentrated formula, being pharmaceutical grade. Podophyllotoxin is fairly well-studied and works by disrupting the cell cycle (not sure if/how it specifically targets virally-infected cells, but you're supposed to cover healthy skin with vaseline when using Condylox so perhaps it is non-specific).

Anyway, with this information I got herbal extracts and oils for tea tree, mandrake root, thuja and celandine (all available online through New Wave Herbs-this was the only place where I could find mandrake root, which is rarer). I had had an outbreak of gws pretty much all over my penis shaft so I applied each of these basically all over by dabbing with a cotton ball three times I day without diluting. It did not hurt but after a couple days I noticed my skin turning red and dry, which I thought was caused by the extracts drying my skin out, so I applied vitamin E oil and neosporin and continued the treatment. I did this for about 4 days total, when my skin got very hard and crusty and began to ache. The pain was not as bad as with the ACV treatment, but I was a little concerned because it basically looked like I had second degree burns all over my penis. Additionally, the very large wart began to turn white, which I wasn't expecting since I had discontinued the ACV treatment.

Anyway, I stopped applying the oils and over the next three days several developments happened. The warts that I had previously identified with ACV turned white, especially the large one, and the skin in these areas came off over the next few days. The rest of my skin remained red and crusty, quite painful, and eventually peeled off as well. All in all the effects of the treatment appeared to be similar to those of ACV, with the warts turning white and then coming off.

This all occurred in the span of about a week, and I am still in the recovery phase. Wherever I applied the oils the skin peeled off, and where the warts were (especially the large one) it looks like warty tissue has been eliminated-it's pretty much down to the dermis, as it looked after my aggressive ACV treatment. Everything is pretty sore but getting better each day. Unfortunately since I used a mixture of the oils/extracts I have no idea which of them caused my skin to burn off. I guess I should say that before I tried the thuja, celandine and mandrake, I used tea tree oil (since you can get it pretty much anywhere), soaked a paper towel in it then wrapped it around my penis for about 15-20 minutes. Towards the end of this I experienced the most excruciating pain ever, at least as bad as the ACV if not worse, and I panicked and jumped in the shower but washing it off didn't help. After about half an hour the pain subsided, but over the course of the next few days my skin down there basically dried out and then came off in layers. So I would definitely NOT recommend putting TTO on for a long period of time. This was about a week before I added the other remedies to my treatment, and I wasn't fully healed, so it's really hard to say what caused the damage down there.

My plan right now is to let everything heal, and then use ACV to reevaluate the gw situation down there and move forward. Though I experienced extensive skin damage from these herbal remedies, I'm actually pretty confident that they work. In the future I will definitely try to apply them to the warts only and not healthy skin, as let me tell you, burning off all the skin on your penis is not so much fun. I'm also planning to make a mixture of these four substances and dilute them with vitamin E oil and castor oil (the latter which may also have antiviral properties due to the presence of ricin). The herbal remedies I found online that included mandrake root recommended diluting it, since it can be very harsh on skin, but I guess in my frustration with my situation I got a little too overeager.

I hope this information has been helpful, and please, if you decide to use any of these herbal treatments, proceed with caution! Just because they're herbal doesn't mean they can't damage your skin. Test a small patch of skin for each one to see if you're allergic, and try to keep the oils on infected skin and not healthy skin. I would also recommend diluting them but at this point I'm not sure what dilution would work best. Good luck and stay positive!

ACV burned like hell and burned my skin ... to me in made it worse.. it seemed i had mmore than what i started off with. What worked for me is tying a thread around the base of the wart kina tight.. and applying TTO. So far it has worked for me.. just trying to recover from the ACV !!!

I found out that I have GW. Last February, I made a horribly stupid mistake. At a weak moment I accidently slept with my ex husband. I had no idea that he gave me the virus until very recently.
After the shock and anger eased up a little I knew I had to do something to get him, and this virus out of my life forever.
So naturally I hit the internet looking for ways to get ridof the warts. I was treated by the doctor when she found them. She used a wart removing solution, that turned them white, and it was extreemly painful. She told me that in a few days they would fall off, and I would probably need to be treated again. Well, she was right. However, I have an extreemly busy schedule, and I just dont have the time to sit in a doctors waiting room. After reading so much about apple cider vinegar, I decided to try it. I also started taking a multi vitamin, enchinacia, and vitamin c. Last night I started the ACV treatment. at first it didnt burn at all, I thought everyone was exagerating. What it did do, is reveal that I had a bigger problem than I originally thought. I thought I only had 2 warts. It turns out I have a cluster of them that covers my entire perineum. This really reveals the evil nature of this thing. You may have them, and never see them because they are the same color as your skin, and theyre flat. So this really sucks, but knowing they are there is the first step to making them gone.
They began to bleed after a little while, which I read was normal, and actually a positive sign that they are being effected by the ACV.
But it burns. It burned so bad, it made my stomach hurt. I thought I was going to throw up. I barely slpet last night because it was so painful. I read that you are advised to sleep with the ACV soaked cottan ball on the area, but I couldnt take it. In fact I hardly slept at all last night.
This morning I took my vitamins again, and repeated the soaked cotton ball procedure. Altho it still really hurt, I was able to leave the cotton ball in place for about 2 hours, and get myself together for work.
The warts so far appear to have changed. I'm not sure if they are smaller, but they have changed from a white color yesterday, toa brownish yellow today. I will ofcourse continue to repeat this and hopefully they will go away.
Ive been reading that some people have instant success with this. I dont think that will happen for me. I think its best to see this with an open mind. It hurts. It sucks. Its embarrasing, and ugly, and i feel so ashamed.
But to you, whoever is reading this: you made a mistake, and we all make mistakes. Remember that our self worth is not measured by the magnitude of our failures, but in the heroic way we pick ourselves back up again. Lets use this as a wake up call, and be thankful that is isnt HIV. Now is the time to take care of your body, and for the love of god, dont sleep with your slutty whore of an ex husband ever again.

Genital wart, and all other wart removal:

I've had genital warts for the past ten years. Over that time I've been treated by several dermatologists and yet my warts continued to return. It was very frustrating, stressful and needles to say elimated any potential intimate relationships in my life. The Vinegar and cotton with tape works, but is not a life time solution..There is a very good chance the wart or warts will return because the HPV virus (Human Papilloma Virus) is still in your body. Over the past two years I've researched more topics on warts than you can imagine....I am now and have been entirely free from any warts returning for over a year and a half. Understanding what causes an infection like this is beneficial to treatment. Warts are growths on the skin caused by HPV or human papillomavirus. HPVs produce proteins that interfere with cell function preventing excessive growth, including the growth of tumors. This family of viruses, including those that cause warts, are transmitted through contact. Even though warts present externally, internal treatment (boosting your immune system with good diet, appropriate herbs and vitamins) used in conjunction with topical treatment will greatly increase long-term cure rates. Anything acitic combined with Aspirin, is the active ingredient in wart removers, it's saliclic acid, which is aspirin. Anything acitic will remove the wart, lime juice, vinegar, pinapple, vitamin C, etc. The one that worked the best for me was a paste of aspirin and vinegar placed on the wart, let the paste dry then cover with tape over night. Because the genital area is so sensitive placing and containing the saliclic acid on just the wart was less painful. It took me three days to remove the smaller ones, five days to entirely remove the bigger ones from my penis. In a day or two they will turn black, continue to apply until they have fallen off on their own, do not, peal off. But the most important part in this is your continued maintenance to boost your immune system to prevent their return. Elderberry extract which can be purchased in any health foods store will boost your immune system, and in many cases destroy the HPV virus entirely...There are a few additional supplements along with elderberry extract that I use, but won't get into at this time...If you do a google search 'elderberry extract, warts' you will run across these additional supplements. Elderberry extract can also be used to remove the warts without any pain whatsoever, but it will take longer...Here is the formula: Elderberry extract taken internally three times a day. 30 drops in a drink (each dose is 700 MG of Elderberry Extract)Take the 700 MG each day until they are gone, this will usually take from one to two months. Then take one dose each day to boost your immune system each day.

Best wishes to all.

i have found a REAL remedy:

Listen, I have had GW for like 2 years, after playing around with them trying all kinds of different remedies I found a REAL one that works. It hurts a little bit, but its worth it and they go away in like 2 days.

1. take a pin and light it with with a lighter for 20-30 seconds. put it directly in the middle of the wart and hold it there for 10-15 seconds. you dont have to insert it but just hold it on the tom really tight. it will scab and fall of in 2 days. no doctor, no mess, no costs. and it REALLY works.

I thought I had warts but did some research and learned about Fordyce Spots. I finally manned up and went to the dermatologist and he confirmed they weren't warts.

Look up pictures of fordyce spots on google or wiki before you assume you have warts like I did. I am grateful that someone posted about that b/c I had no clue that existed.

I felt compelled to post the same in hopes of helping some of you that think they have warts but don't.

For those that do have warts, I'm sorry...I understand the despair and hopelessness you feel.

Hi everybody,

I never write anything on forums, but This forum helped me BIG TIME!!!!

Im a 30 year old male, about 6 weeks ago I noticed a 'mole' on my scrotum right by my penis. I thought nothing of it, I thought it was a mole. Last Saturday (yup 6 days ago) I was trimming the hedges and saw a dime sized patch on my scrotum with about 8 small warts on it.

I freaked out and hit the internet big time. I found tons of good info on this site and took it.

I immediatly went to the store and purchased the following:

-ACV
-TTO
-multi vitamins
-waterproof medical tape
-cotton balls
-hydrogen peroxide
-neosporin
-vitamins E, C, D, B complex
-olive leaf extract
-echinachea

I also immediatly poured out all the alcohol in the house realizing that If im going to be one of the people that can seemingly pass the virus out of their system, I was going to have to stop being such an alcoholic (4-8 drinks/day but thats another story).

In a frantic attempt to make progress, I used toenail clippers to clip 2 warts off....dont do that...

Saturday night, I soaked 2 cotton balls in ACV and taped them to the areas, then I used a plastic ziplock bag and covered my penis and balls as best I could, I didnt sleep well. In the morning, I got up and all the warts were black and flat...ok, I put some TTO on them and went to sleep for a few hours. When I got up, I put some TTO on a Qtip and started rubbing it in to the areas, to my surprise the warts just came off.....

Now I will mention that the areas that I soaked in ACV were burned badly, my skin was white, thick and had sort of open ulcers from using too much ACV in such a sensative area.

That night I did the same thing again....this was a mistake. I burned the hell out of my scrotum....HOWEVER, its thursday now and im all but completely healed up and so far, everything seems good. I have also been drinking ACV 2 times a day in addition to all my vitamins.

I decided to give myself at least 6 months to cleanse my system, im doing everything I can to boost my immune system and im keeping my eye on the area.

I consider myself lucky that I noticed early and found good advice that worked for me, so thank you everybody.

If there is anything I can do or provide anybody support who needs it, leave a comment and ill set up an email or something. I think there is hope, and I am very opptimistic and hopeful that I can move this through and not have any future problems. for the record, you dont have to be super promiscuous to get this, at 30 years old, ive had 13 partners.

good luck and god bless.

Hey! So I found this site and forum when I needed it most. I read lots of advice and decided which of it to follow. I just want to pass on some do's and don'ts that I kind of learned the hard way.

FIRST and foremost believe people when they say DO NOT leave the Apple Cider Vinegar on for too long/overnight. I did this and it burned my penis. Not so bad that it doesn't work but it was an added freak out on top of the GW...and completely visible. The pain wasn't so bad because I have a high threshold, but it freaked me out completely. It's been just over a month and I'm healing pretty quickly, but I can only say that looking back now. The day to day waiting to see if it was going to go back to normal was awful. Plus, in the mean time my relationship suffered.

So for me, ACV worked but I should have gone about it at a slower, more paced rate than going whole hog and trying to get rid of it overnight. If you're going to use it, be diligent and dab away at it daily...for a few minutes a day.

SECOND
I had a wart pop-up during this fiasco. Instead of using ACV I decided to try Dr. Scholl's freeze away. I bought the one with the freeze-can AND the liquid. It says to use the aersol can and then follow-up 24 hours later with the liquid. The sensation is really kind of odd. It hurt a bit and changed the color of my skin. I'm dark-skinned so this was really noticeable. Anyway..the look of it freaked me out momentarily but as it turns out this treatment worked just as well as the ACV for me. I REALLY wish I'd just done this from the onset because there are absolutely no signs of GW where I used the Dr. Scholls. My skin is completely normal and healed within 1 or 2 days from discoloration after i followed with the liquid.

While I was doing all the above, I also made sure I worked out, slept well, ate right, etc because I do think that helps the healing process. If I had to do it all over again I'd go just with Dr. Scholss freeze-away AND some patience. So...learn from my mistake.

Found this site and noticed that everyone who submitted a suggestion for genital warts was treating external warts. I noticed a wart beginning to form on the inner part of my rectum randomly one day. It was only apparent when you went to spread/pull apart the cheeks of butt. You'd have to push and spread hard to see it but it was there... an internal wart. Everyone suggests you go see a doctor to treat this but honestly I had no money or patience to wait. I went to Walgreens and got compound W freeze off and administered it to the wart the best I could. I realize the skin of the inner rectum is clearly thinner and different in nature from skin on the outside of the body so i didn't leave it on nearly as long as suggested. I did probably 4 applications each lasting no longer than 8 solid secs. It's been about 5 days and the wart is COMPLETELY gone. There was seriously no discomfort, no discoloration. I checked it this evening to see if it had changed and I'll be damned if it wasn't completely and totally gone. I am so effin' happy I didn't listen to these posts and treated it myself!

This is my first time writing in here, but I had to share my experience and want to tell everyone out there -- there is hope.

I discovered GW a while back and after reading through tons of forum threads felt extremely depressed. Tried ACV for two weeks - the GWs disappeared gradually but came back after a week and at this point I was really hopeless.

The thing with GWs is that as long as you have the HPV in you and your immune system is weak, the symptoms WILL come back.

So I stopped the ACV and decided I needed to take action and get to the root of the problem.

I visited a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) physician in my city and she put me on a herbal medication prescription for a month. It was the most foul thing I have ever had to drink - and every day for a month too. The herbs included honeysuckle and wild chrysanthamum - you can google these, and try to read up as much as you can - but I've come to realize that when it comes to fighting viral infections, TCM is way ahead of western medicine. Antibiotics are tremendously helpful in many cases, but in instances like these, my western doctor had absolutely no remedy for me - other than cosmetic short term suggestions that deal with the wart and do not go to the root of the problem. My decision to try TCM was literally spurred by extreme desperation.

So anyway I took the herbs every day for a month and supplemented that by taking 2 garlic capsules twice a day for a month. Gradually the GWs cleared up - the skin is much smoother now, and not tender and painful like when I was using ACV.

It has been 3 months now and I just went back to the gynae last week to do another HPV test, and it came out negative.

Amazing but there are many herbs out there that have strong antiviral properties. It is important to visit a physician though because the herbal formulation needs to be customized based on the constitution of your own body.

Okay here is my story. I am 19 years old and I have had about 7 partners. I'm not gonna sugar coat it. I got genital herpes about a yet ago while I was engaged but I didn't realize it at the time. He was a cheater but I didn't find out until way later. I noticed a sore on the skin between my vajayjay and anus and it busted open and I was unsure what it was really so I ignored it in hopes that it would go away. Well after we broke up I started going on dates again and they all led to sex eventually. The warts never spread however until about 6 months ago. I started drinking an smoking a lot more than I normally would and I started seeing this guy and I started noticing the warts. There were two on the outside lip that were both small like the head of a pin and one on the inside of my vagina. And then two on the skin between my vagina and anus which were the larger. I froze this two off with compound w and used peroxide on the one on the inside and it went away but the two on the outside of my vagina stayed. I shaved about three weeks ago and they spread everywhere. This is how I knew I had to do something. So I turned to apple cider vinegar. I used it the first night on the two on the outside of my vagina for about 4 hours. And all the skin burned. Then the next night I tried again. However it was two painful I'm thinking I left it on for about thirty minutes max. And after I put blistex all over my vagina. I woke up this morning and those two had disappeared and the others were way smaller. So I will keep you posted on my progress with the blistex:)

ATTENTION:
ATTENTION:
GENITAL WARTS REMEDY!
I FOUND OUT I HAD HPV AROUND A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE VIRUS SO IT WAS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I NOTICE THESE WARTS GROWING ALL OVER MY GENITAL AREA! AT FIRST I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO. IT DETERIORATED ME N MY GIRLFRIENDS SEX LIFE. SHE THOUGHT IT WAS HER FAULT FROM A PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP AND I WAS NEVER FAITHFUL SO I THINK IT COULD OF BEEN ME WHO COULD OF SPREAD IT TO HER. SO I WENT ONLINE AND BOUGHT THIS OIL IN A TINY BLUE BOTTLE THAT SMELLED HORRIBLE THAT DIDNT WORK I JUST STARTED TO GET MORE. FIVE MONTHS AFTER MY FIRST WART I FINALLY WENT TO A DOCTOR, BY THIS TIME I HAD 8 OR 9 WARTS ON MY GENITALS. THE DOCTORS TOLD ME OF THE OPTIONS AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO ME!...... SO I DECIDED ON THE FASTEST WAY TO GET RID OF THEM... TO BURN THEM OFF...(((THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE IT TOOK TWO WEEKS TO HEAL, IM A NYMPHO I COULDNT TAKE IT.. ))))) ANYWAY.... SO NEARLY 9 MONTHS LATER THE THINGS CAME BACK. I ONLY HAD ONE THIS TIME. I DIDNT WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS HELL OF BURNING MY BUDDY AGAIN SO I STARTED TO LOOK AROUND ON THE WEB FOR OTHER REMEDIES AND THINGS THAT PEOPLE USED TO TREAT THIS ISSUE. I READ SOMETHING ABOUT HOW VIRUSES CANT LIVE IN HIGHLY OXYGENATED AREAS AND THEN SOMEONE MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT HYDROGEN PEROXIDE... AND I SAID THIS MIGHT WORK!.. SO 8 DAYS AGO I WENT OUT TO A LOCAL GROCERY STORE AND GOT A BOTTLE OF PEROXIDE (H2O2) 3% AND STARTED TO APPLY IT RIGHT ON THE WART WITH A COTTON SWAB THE VERY SAME NIGHT!.. COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I NOTICED IT WAS REACTING AND THE WART SEEM TO BE GETTING A LITTLE HARD, SO I STARTED TO APPLY IT 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY. ON DAY 4 I NOTICE IT HAD GOTTEN ABOUT 1/3 SMALLER THAN WHEN I STARTED THE APPLICATION, IT ALSO HAD HARDEN A BIT MORE, SORT OF A TINY SCABBY TISSUE FORMED ON TOP... THE NEXT NIGHT WHEN I WAS APPLYING I STARTED PICKING AT THE HARD AREA WITH A CLEAN STERILIZED TOOTHPICK, I PICKED OFF A TINY AREA BUT ENOUGH FOR SOME BLOOD TO COME OUT THEN TOOK THE COTTON SWAB WITH PEROXIDE AND PUT IT ON THE WART AGAIN THIS TIME I KEPT IT THERE FOR ABOUT 4-5 MINUTES.. IT STARTED FIZZING A LOT AND MAKING LITTLE FIZZING NOISES, CLEANED IT OFF AND THEN WENT TO SLEEP. BY DAY SEVEN THE THING IS ALMOST GONE. AND TODAY MY EIGHTH DAY IS BARELY VISIBLE BUT IM GONNA KEEP APPLYING IT FOR ANOTHER WEEK OR SO JUST TO MAKE SURE....

BUT I HONESTLY HOPE THAT THIS COULD HELP ANYONE OUT THERE AS MUCH AS IT HELPED ME. ITS VERY EXPENSIVE TO GET THIS THINGS BURNED OFF NOT TO MENTION HOW UNCOMFORTABLE AND EMBARRASSING THEY ARE!.. MY BILL WAS OVER $14,000 FOR 9 WARTS..GOOD THING I HAD INSURANCE. SO TRY IT HOPE IT WORKS FOR U!

Excuse me for skipping the introduction I would like to get straight to the point. The most powerful cure for genital warts I have tried is a combination of banana peel and echinacea / goldenseal extract. In matter of a few days there were in-closed holes where the wart use to be around my shaft. This post is for men, but I'm sure it could be adapted for women as well.

What you do after you get out the shower is take a green banana, peel it, cut the strips the length of your penis, fill the echinacea / goldenseal extract dropper and drip it on the white inside of the peel.
Smooth over an even layer of the extract on the inside of the banana peel. Take the cut strips, place them around your penis and hold it in place gently.
This can be kind of tricky so have a strip of tender tape stretch bandage cut and ready.
With your free hand find a starting point to start wrapping it around your shaft to hold the banana strips in place.
Note: Make sure its firm but you don't have to choke it. The bandage should stretch and stick to itself but buy some medical tape paper or plastic to secure it in place anyway.
Go to bed or to work. Take it off in the morning or during your lunch break to let your man down there get some air after you leave it on for several hours.
Do this at least once to twice a day and you should notice significant improvements before the week is done.

Quick explanation on how it works; banana peels contain enzymes that don't like and dissolve warts specifically. The echinacea and goldenseal extract are a powerful antiviral and antibacterial combination that engulf microbial invaders and disinfect the mucus membrane part of your skin. But you can look up this information up on any search engine for further details and where to purchase.

Note: The banana peel can be combined with other agents to hold other medicates around the infected area just be careful what you use. I started off using ginger and garlic and singed the top layer of my skin off. I really recommend the echinacea and goldenseal combination but if you know of something else that might also be effective for the potential benefit of yourself and mankind go for it, but this works really well...

I'm a 27 yr old male who has struggled with genital warts for a couple years. Like everyone else I wanted to share my cure and hopefully help others. I have gotten laser surgery, had topical acids applied at clinics, froze them, put acv on my skin until it was raw and stung, tried samoxol, wartol, garlic, ginger, frankincense and myrrh, etc. etc. Some of the stuff on this list has worked in varied effect especially when the top layer of my skin is burned off, but just when you think you've got it up against the ropes it comes back in the same and/or different area. A large part of the fault is due to me masturbating with a latex glove on every now and again... I'm a human being.
But while other remedies fought the warts going round for round this combination really goes for the kill and I really recommend it to who ever is on sitting on sidelines with their girl or boyfriend or staying single all together cause they can't have sex in good conscience.

Note: Wheat grass and/or barley grass is not very... but extremely healthy for your body in general, and your mind for that matter. Doesn't have to be used with this cure but deserves to be looked up as well. I only recommend using it in combination with this cure if you grow it yourself or trust whoever you buy it from keeps there product and machines clean as a dirty produce could hinder progress. But used the right way with a drop of garlic and/or ginger (not too much to burn) it works great but the banana peel, and echinacea / goldenseal extract works wonders.

Good luck to you all and God Bless.....

Ok I have read all of what you all had to say and wondered to myself when I got this how to cure it. Going to the Doctor to get it burned off was going to be very time cunsuming. So I decided to put some of your ideas to work.

I tried using apple cyder vinigar but wow this did hurt allot as they were infected at the time a bit. So why not use all your ideas and put them together into a past

I took aloe vera lotion and combined it with all the following. Apple cyder vinigar, t oil, vit E liquid and some asprin or 222 what ever I had on hand and crushed them. This made a liquid paste somewhat. I never followed a formula just mixed till I liked what I saw in jar. Then shook this very hard for a few minutes.

Ok it worked it did very slight burning sensation but cured the infection along with cleared it up completely that you can not tell I ever had it. I had the warts right between my right leg and my genitals. They are gone. Yes probably took a bit longer to cure as been a month at this with this formula and plus I have been on a diet and taking all sorts of vitamins from E, D, C and garlic pils and who knows what else. I just pumped myself as much as I saw fit.

I think it works for me anyways I could not see it was going to disappear by itself before I started this program I went on to cure the problem. No pain at all from this cure if used right.

Sorry for the long delay, I promised a complete walkthrough of my Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) treatment, and I've been quite busy and I also wanted to thoroughly make sure the treatment was fully successful before giving advice, so here we go:

Apple Cider Vinegar(ACV) works! I've spent a while researching the other methods, and this by far is the easiest, fastest, and cheapest treatment! Your other options are many treatments of cryosurgery (i.e. using Liquid Nitrogen to freeze warts) but true liquid nitrogen therapy can only be provided by dr's offices and it's VERY expensive (at about $300 for one sessions (and when you will need at least 5-10 sessions)), which has also been known to leave permanent scars! The other treatment is a cream provided by prescription only, it costs about $250 and takes many months of use, also there is only about a 30% chance of full treatment in studies, so basically it's worthless! With ACV treatment the warts were gone within one week! and the ACV is only about $1! (well, you need some other supplies as well, but still it's significantly cheaper than even one dr's visit!). There's also laser removal, but again, very expensive! and will likely leave scars!

So here is my thorough walkthrough of my success (as well as my painful mistakes) that should provide you adequate knowledge of the treatment:

First off, the Supplies needed:
-Apple Cider Vinegar(ACV) (no, other vinegar will not work).
-Cotton Balls (at least 50, must be cotton balls and no other substitute will work since cotton balls are the most absorbent and will suffocate the warts).
-'Q-tips' (at least 100, used to apply meds)
-Gauze Rolls(Highly Recommended!)(Either 2' wide, or 4' wide and you can cut it)(You will probably need 2 rolls for full treatment).
-Medical Tape (Highly Recommended!)(Don't use duct tape people! get this water resistant medical tape from the first aid aisles, like a curad brand, you will probably need 2 rolls).
-Tea Tree Oil (Highly Recommended!)(this is an antiseptic, it will help prevent spreading and will help diminish pain, It's sold in small liquid bottle by vitamins)
-Vitamin E oil (Highly Recommended!)(Used to help hydrate your skin since ACV will eat the shit out of it, so this will greatly help your healing! Sold as a liquid usually in vitamin aisle)
-Vitamins & Supplements (Highly Recommended!)(Vitamin C pills, garlic pills, multivitamin pill) (To help your body heal and to fight off the warts)

I paid about $40 for all these supplies at walmart, which is a bargain compared to even one dr's visit!

Day 1 (And the proper cotton ball process):
Get all your supplies ready and laid out in a suitable surface (I highly recommend you practice proper sanitation and hygiene, use only clean supplies and make sure your work surface is clean or lay out a plastic sheet). Plan on how you will properly secure the cotton balls to your warts. I wrapped the gauze around my penis for my warts on my shaft, and I wrapped it behind my balls to secure the cotton balls towards the base of my penis (ladies, you likely won't have this luxury so you'll have to get creative).

Estimate the number of cotton balls you will need to completely cover your warts, you may want to pull the cotton balls apart if your wart isn't that big and to make it easier to secure the ball. You want the cotton ball to be about twice the diameter of the wart. I also recommend covering the entire area to be treated with vitamin E oil as it will help to keep the area hydrated (I recommend you apply the vitamin E oil with a q-tip and allow about 10 minutes for the oil to soak in, and DO NOT DIP THE SAME TIP OF THE Q-TIP BACK INTO THE VITAMIN E JAR ONCE YOU HAVE RUBBED IT ON YOUR WARTS! This will contaminate the oil and you may spread warts this way).

Despite what I've read on here, it is NOT A GOOD IDEA TO COMPLETELY SOAK THE COTTON BALLS IN ACV! I found that it's better to use less than to use more, and I recommend you only put enough on the cotton ball so that it will be able to fully cover the warts with the amount of ACV that you used. Using this technique will give you the results you want and will reduce your chances of major harm.

Now, after you have the cotton balls with a proper amount of ACV on them to cover your warts, you simply place the balls over the warts and then wrap the gauze around the balls to hold them in place. You may either tape the end of the gauze to hold it secure, or wrap the tape completely around the gauze no more than one time, or you may gently tie the gauze strips in loose knots to hold them secure. DO NOT COMPLETELY COVER THE COTTON BALLS WITH TAPE!!! YOU WILL END UP IN DIRE PAIN! You need to allow plenty of room for the ACV fumes to be released otherwise the fumes will stay between the tape and will completely destroy your skin and it will take many days to heal! This is why I recommend using Gauze! because it allows the fumes to be released through the gauze, and for oxygen to get in so that the skin around the cotton ball can breath.

Also, to avoid major pain, TRY TO AVOID LETTING THE ACV SOAKED PORTION OF THE COTTON BALLS TOUCH ANY SENSITIVE PARTS OF YOUR GENITALS!!!! This treatment was almost completely painless for me until I made the mistake of drenching a cotton ball and allowing the ACV portion to be resting on the head of my penis... this is what caused the most pain of the whole treatment, and it's still sensitive a month later! So avoid ACV contact to any sensitive parts if you want to avoid the major pain. Ladies, I'm not sure where it's going to hurt your lady parts the most, but it would probably be pure hell if you let acv soak on your clit.

How long should you leave the cotton balls on?
I think it depends on the area you're treating, and the amount of pain you're experiencing. For me I experienced almost no pain while treating the shaft of my penis, so I suggest you leave the cotton balls on for at least 3 and no more than 6 hours if you're not experiencing major pain. If you're treating a sensitive area or you feel major pain (like a 5 or above on the 1-10 pain level), then I suggest you only leave the balls on for one hour. As long as the warts are glowing white after you remove the cotton balls on the first day then you are effectively treating them! This is not a race to see how fast you can get the warts off, it should be seen as a marathon... so as long as you have progressive progress you will eventually get rid of the warts. Also, try to leave your pants off for the entire time you have the cotton balls on! This will allow for more ventilation... and it will be much better for your skin.

So like I said, on day 1 you should see the warts glowing white after you remove the cotton balls, congratulations you have had a successful day 1! You should immediately apply Tea Tree Oil on and around the warts at this point using a Q-Tip (and don't double dip the q-tip after contact with warts), allow the Tea Tree Oil to completely dry up from your skin before putting pants or underwear on! You may even want to gently wash the remaining Tea Tree Oil off before putting pants on. If you don't allow the Tea Tree Oil to dry before putting your pants on, the fumes will stay in your pants or underwear and it will totally eat up and damage your entire groin area, and your skin will be very badly damaged! (I learned the hard way!)

ACV and Tea Tree Oil are very powerful chemicals! When used properly they are harmless, but if you don't follow these precautions you can cause yourself major harm!

Apply the vitamin E oil after you use the Tea Tree Oil, this will help to dehydrate your skin. Try to apply the vitamin E oil every couple hours if you can.

Day 2:
Give your skin at least 24 hours to heal before going on with the ACV applications. If your skin is still red or sore do not proceed with the ACV and allow your skin to heal! Make sure your skin has a regular color since this is a good sign that your skin is healthy. Take a day or two between applications, and maybe even a week if your skin is really damaged!

After your second treatment your warts should be glowing white again, this is a good sign!

Day 3:
The day after your second treatment you may see your warts starting to scab over, if so, you have successfully finished the first phase of treatment. DO NOT EVER PICK OFF A SCAB!!!! The whole goal of ACV treatment is to fry your skin so that it will scab over the warts and so that they will suffocate and die! Once you get a scab that covers the whole wart, leave it alone! It may look ugly and it may look like you've made everything worse, but once that scab naturally falls off you will be left with the beautiful clear skin that you want!

After the first time you scab over, and after leaving the scab on for at least 2-3 days, you may do another ACV cotton ball soaking directly over the scab, This will naturally remove the scab and will give you a larger stronger scab after a day or two.

The scabs should eventually turn blackish, this is a good sign. Eventually the large warts will shrink and the small ones will just disappear.

Days later:
After days of treatments and healing, the warts should be gone! You may still have some discoloration after the warts are gone, but that should heal up in a few weeks.

I'm now about 3 weeks post treatment and my skin where my warts were is now completely flawless!!! I'm so relieved! and I feel much healthier and less tired now that my body isn't constantly having to fight these warts!

I should also note that you should be taking the vitamins daily throughout this entire process and for months after! (even ongoing if you can). Also drink plenty of water! at least a gallon day. Get plenty of sleep, cut back on junk food, and try to eat some healthy foods.

I thank everyone on this website who helped me discover this treatment after 10 years of living with these warts! And I hope my guide will help many people to get treated the proper way, and to finally move on with their lives.

Take care all, and I may try to come back to this page if anyone has any further questions.

FOR MEN: EXTREME CAUTION using Paper Towel Technique... just needed to post this because a few men have recommeneded the Paper Towel Technique rapped around the johnson. I did this with great success and great catastrophe.

Yes i killed many of the warts, but i also spread about 100 more, no exaggeration. The paper towel moves up and down and slides side to side even when taped so the virus must have spread to other parts of the skin. Or it doesnt work because the genital warts were brand new and more susceptible to spreading.

ACV does work though if left long enough on. They turn white and then eventually black. But this takes many hours of constant ACV over the GW.

Also Important... the warts has to be smothered to get no oxygen when killing it. So rubbing some ACV on a q-tip won't work for many people. It must be covered over with the ACV and oxygen deprived for many hours for the technique to work.

Hey everyone. I wanted to share my story in hopes it uplifts some people currently fighting GW. More importantly, I wholeheartedly encourage you to try the treatment I outline here.

I had a relatively severe outbreak of GW at age 27. I had literally over 100 warts covering my penis, scrotum, groin and thighs. The doctors prescribed Aldera cream to help treat the initial widespread outbreak. In addition, the HPV caused such a skin swelling issue that I had to have an adult circumcision to help fight future outbreaks. Not only did that fail to provide any relief in that region, it became badly infected and I ended up having another “cleaning” procedure to avoid tissue damage. Yep – my GW resulted in two surgeries and 10 stitches in my guy.

The outbreaks continued for a solid two years. They were constant. Every week when I did maintenance, I would find one or two or eight new warts. I was at the doctor constantly having them frozen off—I have plenty of scarring to prove it. The bottom line is that nothing—NOTHING—the doctors offered me circumvented the virus. I was seemingly in that 10-20% of us who couldn’t clear the virus.

I was/am otherwise extremely healthy. I exercise 5 days per week, am in outstanding physical shape and have never dealt with any health issues like this. I was at my wits end. And yes, I tried Wartrol, Viral Free and other “magical” cures that did nothing. So I sucked up my pride and talked with one of my friends who happens to be a nutritionist under the hope that maybe she could help me somehow. I wish I would have done it MUCH sooner.

She and I researched together and created a cocktail of vitamins to boost my immune system and treat the virus rather than just the symptoms. When I began taking the blend, my symptoms intensified for about six weeks (which is actually normal—ask a physician) before I saw improvement. The bottom line is this: I have been outbreak free for six months and counting. This is not a bulls**t posting from a company—please try this and I hope it offers you the same results it has offered me.

In the morning I take: 1 ml of green tea extract (50% ECCG, 95% Polyphenols), 1 tablet of apple cider vinegar, 1 500 mg vitamin C pill, 1 50 mg Zinc pill, 1 vitamin A & D pill (10,000 iu of A / 400 iu of D), and a sustained release B-vitamin complex (B1, B2, B6, Folic Acid, B12, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid).

In the evening I take: A complete multivitamin (I use One a Day Men’s) & 1 apple cider vinegar tablet.

The B-vitamin complex is vital. Our research let us to understand that is used as an herbal supplement for HIV patients – it is highly effective at helping your body process foods into energy and boost the immune system to help minimize viruses. While I don’t know the total impact of all the others, I do know I read in several medical journals about the benefit of B-vitamins in substantial doses (my tablet is 6,600% of the daily value of B1 , B2 & B6).

Other than that, I used vitamin E oil on the scars purely to help the skin soothe itself. It’s been slow, but it is helping. Mind you my outbreak was about as bad as it gets, and it was continuous.

I hope this helps some people out there – GW make you feel like the most disgusting person in the world. I also want to say that life goes on! I turn 30 in a couple months, and I just got engaged. I’m a ridiculously lucky man. There was a point where I thought this virus would have me single forever, but I met someone who didn’t run when I told her. We took the safe route and abstained while she had the Gardasil vaccinations (7 month process), and she’s never had a single symptom since we’ve been active.

All the supplements I use I purchased at Meijer, save the apple cider vinegar which I found at GNC.

I am a 22-yo male and have never had unprotected sex... too bad gw can be transmitted through just external genital contact. I noticed some irregular skin near the base of the shaft of my penis maybe 4 years ago and used OTC wart freezer to get rid of the gws. Sometimes it would work, but generally they would always come back (I've done this periodically for a couple years now). The last time I froze them they seemed to spread, or get bigger/flatter so that clearly wasn't working.

Anyway, desperate for a better remedy and too ashamed to go to the doc (besides, it doesn't really seem like anything they give you works), I did some reading up on acv treatment. I had some white vinegar that I had used to locate warts in the past (white vinegar has the same acids as acv, namely acetic acid, which is what kills the warts), so I soaked paper towels in the vinegar, placing pieces strategically over the gws. I put large bandaids over the paper towels and left them on overnight.

In the morning, the gws were white, though I also found that the extent of my problem was worse than I thought. Some small warts showed up scattered near the base of the shaft, but the bigger issue was where I had previously frozen 4 gws (they were mostly healed up) were large (~2-3cm) areas of skin that showed up white and which I therefore assumed were infected. Anyway, I decided to continue the treatment throughout the day and next night, washing with hydrogen peroxide every time I changed the bandages. To say that it hurt is like saying the universe is big... that shit burned like nothing else I've ever experienced. I downed several advil before each treatment and sucked it up.

About two days into the treatment the warts took on a grayish/yellowish/brownish color, which I assumed meant it was working. I kept with the treatments and tried to keep the area as clean as possible. Anyway, it's 5 days later and my results are... inclusive. The extent of my gws was such that they didn't really shrink like other people have been saying, mostly because they were wide and flat (hardly even noticeable) rather than bumpy. While some of them did turn dark gray and even black, some patches are still only the yellowish/whiteish color. Now the main issue is (and I'm probably really stupid for doing this) I peeled/wiped away much of the dead skin, which has left me with red, raw skin surrounding the remaining gws. It's like I have hardly any layers of skin there. To make matters worse, I have pretty badly burned some skin that did not have any gws-the skin went from red, to dark red and is now blackish-gray. Not so good. So my problem now is, I have some gws remaining but I don't think I can finish the vinegar treatment-with the skin as raw as it is, it's just impossible to put anything on it. I tried and it was like I took a torch to my scrotum. I'm going to see if I can very carefully apply some to very specific areas, but given that a large patch of my skin is essentially missing down there I don't even know how I can tape anything on.

I didn't mean for this post to be so long... I guess I just wanted to talk about my pain, embarrassment and attempted treatment, as I have nobody in my life I want to share this with. My penis looks like the worst thing I've ever seen, I could almost cry. I think I'm going to give it a day or two to heal some and resume the vinegar treatment, as I REALLY don't want this shit to spread/come back. Don't get me wrong, I believe that it works-some of the smaller gws completely came off after a couple days and I'm thrilled about that-but the larger flat ones I'm having trouble with. Anyway, if I think of it I'll post again with an update on my progress. Good luck to all!

This is my true remedy for genital warts. I was on this site (myhomeremedies.com) to find out how to deal with about a dozen (or more) small warts on the base and lower half of my penis, and was very excited to hear people's success with Apple Cider Vinegar. I had never used or known about this type of vinegar before but found that it is very common and found in most grocery stores. Here is what I did to rid myself of the warts:

Step 1: Use an anti-bacterial soap to clean the penis and surrounding area. I used yellow Dial brand.

Step 2: Soak cottonballs in hydrogen peroxide and wipe down the warts. Don't get fancy, a quick wipe down is fine.

Step 3: Soak a half sheet of paper towel which can be wrapped around the penis shaft in Apple cider vinegar. Wrap your penis and tape it securely. Make sure all warts are touching the paper towel so the vinegar soaks them.

Step 4: Leave the papertowel on your penis for at least 3-6 hours. I suggest doing this before going to sleep at night and removing the papertowel in the morning. In the morning, shower and use the anti-bacterial soap to clean your penis. Before getting dressed, soak a couple cotton balls in the ACV and douse the warts again so they are wet.

Step 5: Go about your day and repeat steps 1-4 every night.

Results: After a two days, my warts started turning black and became scab-like. The ACV has 5% acid in it, which burns the warts and dries them up. It will also make your skin very irritable and start to burn it after a few applications. This is the only drawback to this method, however it is very effective at destroying the warts. It is also the most natural way to do it. ACV costs about $1, plus the cost of cottonballs, paper towels and hydrogen peroxide. After about a week you can gently rub off the black scabs and the warts will be gone. My penis became VERY sensitive to the burning of the acid after about 5 days, so be prepared for some burning and if it becomes too much to take, use cottonballs to douse the warts instead of wrapping the penis in a papertowel soaked in ACV. As long as you are applying the ACV a few times a day it will kill the warts. Also the burning is not serious and your skin will heal, so don't wimp out if you want the warts gone!!

This method was so effective and I am so happy I found this site I had to share my experience. So relax, breathe easy, and get your ass to the grocery store. Most important tell any partners you have about your disease (human papilloma virus) so they are aware. Good luck and God Bless!

I started at this site and read everyone's suggestions. Then I did some research to verify that some of the ingredients were correct...and safe to use. I will start off by saying that I am a woman many of these posts didnt specify.
I will try to be as detailed as possible without writing a book!
I actually combined several approaches, and on the 4th morning the largest ones just wiped off. I actually couldn't believe it. So hopefully this helps other people.

What to buy:
100% Shae Butter (Henry's $10)
Green Tea Extract (Walmart $5 or Henry's $10)
Apple Cider Vinegar Organic Raw Unfiltered (Henry's $5)I got Bragg's brand.
Peroxide (Walmart $1-$2)
Vitamin E capsules (Henry's $5)
Cotton Pads (Walmart $1)

Additional Suppliments:
Echinacea
Garlic Capsules
Elderberry
Rosehips
Andrographis

I took a full force approach to attack from all angles.

First I used the peroxide. I soaked the cotton pad and held it on the area for a couple minutes. Then let it air dry. I found that it did sting a bit.

Then I used the ACV. I soaked the cotton pads and placed them on the area similar to the way you would use a tucks pad. I tried tape but as many of you will find out that is pretty difficult to do in the vaginal area. So instead i used a pair of snug underwear. I suggest using a sanitary napkin as the vinegar will likely soak through the underwear.
This wasnt painful to begin with... it stung but nothing severe. However when I changed the pads later in the evening the burning was quite painful. Within ten minutes the throbbing stopped. Before I went to bed I changed the pads once more and went to sleep.
In the morning the warts were all very irritated... along with the entire area. But from reading the other posts I expected this.

For the next 2 days I used the green tea salve described in one of the previous posts. I used a spoonful of the Shae butter and 3 capsules of the green tea extract. The mixtures is a brown/green paste that doesnt irritate at all. I actually found it to be quite soothing. I applied several times during the day. I slathered the entire area very generously and used the same underwear method (no napkin the mixture doesnt stain) to try to keep the mess to a minimum. I also found that as it got closer to the time I needed to replace the salve, I began to itch. But once the cream was replaced the itching stopped. I did this the entire day, through the night, and the following day.

By this time some of the warts had turned black but the larger ones were white and irritated.

The next day I decided to stop and heal. I did apply vitamin E (2 capsules) to the area. This helped the itching and irritation. That night I washed and dried the area and left it free of any treatment.

To my surprise the largest ones simply wiped off the next morning.

The blackened scabs take longer to fall off.

During the entire process I did a massive supplement intake to boost my immune system to help fight the infection internally as well. Some people reported a slow reduction in warts from supplements alone. I believe the combination of both is the best route.
I drank an Elderberry and rosehip tea that I made at home. You can find both of these at an herb shop. ($6) Or they also carry elderberry as a capsule (Henry's $15)
I also took the above listed supplements.
Additionally I took about 6 green tea capsules a day, and 4 vitamin E capsules.

I hope this helps.
The irritation was worth the very fast results!

**I did also try the aspirin/vinegar mixture but found it to be very painful. I believe this is due to the previous nights vinegar irritation.

I figured I would add my story as well because this website helped me SO much!! When I left the doctor yesterday, after going in for a routine physical, I felt like I was a whore or something, lol. I have slept with very few people but I still have been diagnosed with HPV. I asked her about the very small bumps on the outside of my vagina. I've noticed them for months, changed cleansers, changed detergent, even changed toilet paper... nothing helped. They aren't painful, they are just there...
My doctor gave me a cream called Aldara. I am to apply it 2 times a week and the doctor said it could take up to 4 MONTHS to work.... wow, 4 months....!!! I'm not with anyone right now therefor not having sex but I sure don't want to look at them, lol. So, I started looking at home remedies... Apple Cider Vinegar I thought about, crushed vitamin C I also thought about, and then I saw a post about lemon essential oil. Since I already have that I tried that, it's essentially the same idea as the Vitamin C. Citrus fruits have a huge amount of Vit c, therefor the oils do as well. So, last night I put a nice small layer of Lemon Essential oil around the outside of my vagina and when I got up this morning I already noticed a small difference. The already really small warts were a little bit smaller and the skin in general looked better, so I just got finished applying another layer. It doesn't burn, itches a tiny bit on areas of skin that may have been dry but nothing horrible. I'm going to continue doing this as well as the Rx cream and I'm very hopeful. I will also start taking a daily vitamin since these warts come around as the result of the immune system not being able to fight it off. And finally I will be getting the immunizations for the strains of HPV that cause cervical cancer. This has been a wake-up call for me, that no matter how careful you are in reference to sexual activity... you can still get this virus. It's time to protect myself and I hope this post helps you protect yourself to.
You can essential oils at an holistic or new age store. Make sure it's pure essential oil, not mixed with a base. Thank You and I wish you all the best of luck!

Ok im writing this because I kinda feel the need to let people know how well it works! Im 18 and when I was seventeen I met my partner, lovely though he is he unknowling gave this virus to me.
At first I was very upset thought my life was over blabla.. So I went to the gum clinic because the doctors were a WASTE of my time, its good at the gum because they will check inside you aswell as outside. I used the creams for months with very minimal effect, I felt they kept them from growing larger rather than makeing them smaller.
I was getting pretty down with it, it seemed to be getting worse all the time then I came across posts from people who had used apple cider vinegar and decided to give it a go. I kinda thought it was too good to be true but had a go anyway.
Day 1.
At about two in the afternoon I soaked a cotton bud in acv and tucked just underneath my vajajay as I have some pretty bad clusters there. Didnt hurt so bad, used a qtip to dab all the other ones. Took it off 6 hours later and they were bright white going grey. Had another dab with the q tip and left it.
Day 2.
In the morning some were scabbing up but the cluster was looking blackish and soggy. I repeated yesterdays procedure for another 6 hours and MY GOD did it sting! But I sucked it up and sat on the sofa. Stung for about two hours and got better. At night when I took it off I was AMAZED. Loads of my warts were just disintergrating and wiping away!! It was hurting but I was so happy I couldnt care less
I am now just continuing this on all of my warts and patches and its successfull! Also acv is great cos it can show up tiny warts that would otherwise be hard to see because it shows them up bright white. I really hope this helps people to find a solution and all the best!

from CLEAN FYI medical poster

another thought(s):

1. those using chemical remedies--i.e. acv & tto. warts are encapsulated in your skin cells(some people take longer because they have thicker cells than others,hence a thicker wart as well),if you carefully and CLEANLY injure the surface of the wart you will decrease the penetration time and reduce the suffering time frame of keeping the wet bandage applied.and cut those wet cotton balls to just a little bigger than the wart, quit tearing your self up all over!

acv has a good rationale behind it, it is in the glycolic acid family, although it is a weaker version.

you could do the same thing with otc skin peel solutions, just continually dab with a q-tip til it turns white and some do turn black, the ones that turn black just had a better blood supply to it and the blood turns black when reacting to the acid. doesn't change anything.
2. once you knock the wart out, get some otc oral supplements(these are stronger than average sold creams/oils) in gelcap form that you can punture and squeeze out, vit E(mixed tocopherols)and vitamin A(not beta-carotiene/carotenoids), sqeeze a couple of those into a a few sqirts of lotion and apply 1-2 times a day will speed skin healing.

good luck!

I've only been doing this for about a week but so far it has seemed really successful.
I thought a had warts but I went to the doctor to confirm and sure enough, HPV it was. She gave me a prescription for Aldara but when I went to go get it from the pharmacy the pharmacist told me it was $416.00. I just could not afford that. I'm a student and that is more than my monthly rent in a major city!
But these warts were embarrassing and I couldn't think about anything else (plaguing my brain!) so I came here to look. The most positive remedy was obviously the ACV, but I kept looking. Someone said they had been drinking 5 hour energies and that helped a lot also. Someone recommended taking immunity boosting supplements also. So I went to the drug store armed with the power of the internet and 50 dollars. That was all I had. I went to the supplement/vitamin aisle and looked for Elderberry, Vitamin E and Garlic but only found the Garlic ad E. Then I walked past a 5 hour energy display. Those drinks are composed of high levels of B6 and B12 as well as Folic Acid so I picked up some of the supplements for those too because what did I have to lose.

So here is what I have been doing
At night - Wash the area, soak about 1/4 of a cotton ball in ACV and place it where the warts are. I am a lady with perianal warts so taping it on there was near impossible.

In the Morning - rinse off and wash again, apply vitamin E to the area (I just poked a hole in the liquid supplements with applied it that way)

B6 - 50mg
B12 - 500mcg
Folic Adic - 400mcg
Vitamin E (applied externally but also swallowed) -400IU
Vitamin C - 500mg
Garlic - 1250mg

Every 3 days- VitaminD 2000IU (I do this less often because it makes me a little nauseas due to the high dose. )

It's kind of a pain but the warts are worse. They're not entirely gone yet but they seem to be recessing back into my body, which makes me think that my body is fighting off the virus which is AMAZING. I really think the B vitamins and Folic Acid are helping a lot.

Warning - applying the ACV will be fine initially but it starts to HURT. Apply it at night because 1 - the smell is kind of weird. and 2 - you're not moving around as much there i less friction and the skin around the warts will not get as irritated. But it will sting a little!

Best of luck to everyone

Here is my take on genital warts removal.

1. Clear the area, some warts are so small they are easily missed. I suggest removing as much pubic hair as possible. I don't recommend shaving use a unobtrusive method. If you do shave use a clean fresh razor and anti-bacterial lotion soap (not shaving cream). Anti bacterial soap is strong enough /with warm water to kill the hpp virus...you don't want to spread more external warts during the shaving process. Be careful shave around the warts (you may accidentally chop a few unknown ones off during this process.
trash the razor when finished it shouldn't ever be used again. Dry up using paper towels and liberal amounts of hydrogen peroxide over the entire area.

2. Find the warts, wash rinse sanitize hands. careful visual inspection to determine all warts. Wash rinse sanitize hands when done. Visual inspection usually is enough however if you want to find them all... Take two full size sheets of paper towels soak them in Apple cider vinegar, wrap them around entire genital region over night, secure with medical tape. Go to bed. When you remove the paper towels
genital warts will appear as white bumps, or crusty patches for larger ones. One night of apple cider vinegar in the entire pubic area won't hurt you, do no do it continually. Take note of warts and move on to treatment.

3. Apple cider vinegar is strong smelling and 5% acidic, buy a small bottle easier to work with. take the lid off put a cotton ball in the cap of the lid, hand hold lid on bottle, and turn upside down. Remove lid with cotton ball. Dissect cotton ball into necessary size pieces, pieces should cover entire wart plus a little extra.
using medical tape adhere pieces in place.

4. Treatment should be done around same time everyday I suggest bedtime.
Always wash and clean area after and before treatment. This is the time to become germaphobic, as you don't want to spread warts anywhere else.

5. No sex or masturbation thats right, this is the punishment for a STD, till warts are gone forget about it.

6. Follow up, I suggest garlic tablets in addition to treatment, 2 a day forever, garlic can boost your immune system with a sensible diet of foods. Obviously smoking and drinking create damaging free radicals that can weaken the immune system. But really bottom line healthy people are just as likely to get outbreaks as not so healthy people.

7. What to expect, the apple cider vinegar method takes time to work. Over a period of the first week you will notice the warts hardening, shrinking and blackening (usually second week). By the third week most warts will be hanging by a thread so to speak, Let them fall off on there own. Remember just cause the warts are gone doesn't mean your cured.

8. Long term -The HPP virus is still inside of you and you are a carrier. Always use protected sex. It is your responsibility to warn potential partners you have the virus, think of how you felt when you got it from somebody who didn't mention it. Gradually your body will build up a defense and produce antigens, white blood cells capable of keeping the HPP virus in check. Non smokers generally 5 years smokers 10 years there are many exceptions.

8. Why me- Hpp virus is in it's outbreak phase which the CDC has been tracking since the early 80's. It is rampant and widespread among a large and varying populace. 1 out of every 5 people are completely immune to it. 2 out of 5 never show signs they have it.
Because more than half the people that carry it don't even know they have it it is spreading like wild fire only showing up on a few individuals. The good news is that eventually a natural immunity will follow, the CDC plans for hpp virus to be insignificant in 20 years, they are helping this along by introducing new vaccines for our children that build up the antibodies to it (the vaccine is crap right now needs a re-pass from the FDA).

So, like all of us, I had a gw outbreak.
Preface: this is my first posting, and it's long. I'm sorry in advance.

About nine months ago, the guy I was seeing told me he had found two small bumps on his, ahem, area... One little guy on his shaft, and another little guy on his thigh/hip area closer to his scrotum. I inspected myself, found nothing, but went with him to the doctor. She confirmed his HPV, and froze his warts off. Within a few days they were gone. He hasn't had an outbreak since. I went to the doctor myself a couple weeks later, explained the situation. She told me that I most likely was infected with the HPV virus but because I hadn't had an outbreak, there wasn't anything they could do for me.

About five days ago, I felt some bumps on, embarrassingly enough, my anus. It baffled me because I've never participated in anal sex (and very little anal play ever) and I definitely had genital warts on my butt, and only my butt. Lovely. Found two semi-big ones (smaller than an eraser) and about ten tiny little ones. I looked all around the Internet for home remedies for anal warts and couldn't find anything at all, and I really didn't want to involve a doctor if I didn't have to (especially on such a sensitive area). So, I decided to try some things you guys have suggested.

I decided to take a three-tiered approach. First, I got myself some vitamin supplements (mainly vitamin a, b12, d and e), folic acid and fish oil supplements while drinking a couple mugs of Echinacea tea a day to boost my immune system and get this virus out. Secondly, I got myself a bottle of tea tree oil and some ACV. Third, and this was, to me, by far the most important part: I visualized the warts gently peeling off and visualized nice, smooth, pre-wart skin constantly.

Couple of drops of tto on a q-tip swabbed on the area. Then I dunked a tampon in ACV and stuck it between my cheeks (sorry for the details) and let it hang out for about five hours. It wasn't terribly painful the first day (I actually went to a party/house show and wasn't bothered much), but when I went to switch the tampon for a new one, it stung like CRAZY. I have a decently high threshold for pain, and I couldn't hang with it. I slept ACV-free that night. Next day, I went to inspect, and all the little warts had turned black and a couple of them had wiped off. Success! I was so happy and elated it was starting to work. Then, more tto swabbed and some toilet paper soaked in ACV applied to the area. Day two was HORRIBLE for stinging. Very painful, I couldn't leave it on for as long as I wanted, probably three or four hours. Day three: at first inspection, I couldn't see many warts (just one small one, but I didn't look that hard), so I dabbed some tto and went to work. 10.5 hours later, all warts but one had disappeared. The skin surrounding the area was black and scaly-looking (not to mention extremely tender and burny-feeling, also a tiny bit of blood from two areas), so I decided to forego the ACV for now, but I am dabbing some tto on the area every now and again.

I'm sorry this is so long, but I haven't spoken to anyone about this. This forum has helped me out immensely, your guys' stories gave me hope in a very bleak, desperate and lonely time.

I truly feel that the success is mainly due to my positive visualization of successful results. If you stay positive and see your genitals as beautiful and blemish-free as they were before the warts, it'll happen! Keep hope alive! Constantly visualize positive results. Your mind is your greatest weapon. Good luck everyone.

Thanks to this website and a few others ACV was a savior!! Here where I live I went to the local grocery store in North Carolina (Food Lion) and purchased the smallest bottle of ACV and a bag of cotton balls. Wasn't sure how the band-aids would work because I knew it'd be painful pulling them off. Anyways I had the weekend off and no plans, so I soaked three cotton balls with ACV and placed them on the main areas where there were a lot of GW. Held them there for 45 minutes then threw the cotton away and soaked more then put them in different spots. Noticed that they turned white pretty fast and surprisingly mine didn't burn except one of the main ones and it just felt like when you put peroxide on a cut. After I finished that I went about my business for the day and when I was getting ready to go to bed I soaked as many cotton balls as I needed and placed them on all or most of the spots and put a dry piece of cotton over the soaked one and put the band-aid over them. Woke up this morning and almost all of them have already turned black!! The annoying part was getting the band-aid off. I had to use scissors to clip my pubes, so the band-aid wouldn't tear them off. If anyone has suggestions on how to properly use the band-aid please let me know for future use. Anyways this remedy really works and I am so glad I didn't go get help from the doctor. The bottle of ACV was $1.19 and the cotton balls were $2.88 and I already had band-aids. So doctor or ACV? You do the math.

Has anyone ever heard of using Oil of Oregano? The vitamin lady told me to try it...I just told her I have a wart on my foot. She said it will kill the wart by either putting it on topically or by ingesting three drops internally. Don't know if I can ingest it because it smells like paint thinner. Any help would be appreciated!

I was extremely desperate as I found out I was infected with Hpv. I had 30-40 very big genital warts and the doctor said the only way out was a surgical intervention.
I was depressed and I didn't have the force to go through such an intervention although it was already decided with my gynecologist. I was also extremely afraid and without hope thinking of the pain,the scars (the warts were really big) and the danger of recurrence.
So I studied natural remedies.
After 6 months of natural treatment, from one day to the other, all warts were gone, leaving no trace or scar.
I will share with everybody the remedies I used as I really hope it will work for someone else too.
(the ACV didn't work at all for me)
Here is what I took:

Cat's Claw caps
Goldenseal caps
Echinaceea caps
Garlic caps
Noni fruit tee
Olive leaves tincture
Aloe vera caps
tuja extract

For the quantities please let yourself advised by a pharmacist and let them know your condition, I did so

I don't exactly know which of them was the most effective but it is certain that they worked in the moment I had lost all my hope.
I never really believed ( and the doctor also suggested me that it would be impossible) that such big warts could really be cured naturally and without trace, but it happened.

Green tea - Egcg
Ok so there are lots of treatments out there none of them perfect or comfortable as far as I can tell. I'm mid treatment right now so I can't tell you how it'll turn out but I can tell you its looking good.

The FDA recently passed a new HPV treatment made from extracts of green tea. Its basically EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) its an antioxidant called catechins present inall tea but very abundant in green tea. It kills cancer cells when exposed to them and does a joby-job on warts. I got the persciption and its a whopping 250$ per tube. Forget it I said..I'll make some myself.

Here's what you do:

Go to the healthfood store and get EGCG caplets at least 500 mg. Open them up and mix them with about an ounce or more of shea butter you can also mix it with California Baby calendula first aid cream.

You'll need to do a vinegar test to see all the warts..any vinegar will do ACV or white. Soak a large cotton cosmetic pad in it and hold it on any suspicious areas. Whatever turns white is a wart. You may see lesions that puff up or just skin that turns white..the skin that turns white IS infected treat it as well! If you don't it WILL develop into warts.

Apply your salve 2-3 times per day. The warts will stay white and the skin will turn yellow brown..then by day 2 or 3 you should start to see brown and black spot on the bigger ones. They are dying as the capillaries that feed them are starting to die. They'll get dry and hard and they'll hurt. There is NO pain free treatment for HPV. They all smart a bit. This isn't that bad though. DO NOT PICK..let the skin fall off. You can wash between treatments to make yourself more comfortable. I also put plain shea butter for comfort in between treatments...the warts get dry and I found they hurt more when there is nothing on them.

You can also take ECGC orally as well to supplement your treatment. It'll work faster and better. ECGC has the benefit of boosting your immune systen as well so a continued oral supplement would probably not be a bad thing.

The makers of the marketed drug say you can keep this treatment up for a max of 16 weeks. I expect to be healed faster than that at this rate. My brew is a bit stronger I think. I found that this salve has little to no effect on healthy skin. Just the evil warts!

I'll be tracking my progress and post my results.

Just a heads up, I tried the freezing method at the MD office, the Freeze-Off from Dr. Scholls and a mixture of TTO and Castor Oil before trying ACV. After a couple hours of having the ACV on my very tiny warts I was able to pull them off without much pain or bleeding. I hope to stay wart-free but will choose the ACV method again should any reappear. Should have tried this in the first place! Thanks to all who have submitted their remedies!

I am so thankful to this website for guiding me through a very trying time with genital warts. I started with the apple cider vinegar technique I learned on here- plus vitamins and minus booze. It seemed to be working when my doctor put me on aldara. The aldara took 12 weeks but it worked. I was terribly depressed and impatient at the start but patience got rid of all but one. I am going to go back to the ACV technique on the last one and will check in. Either way, I was so depressed before I found this site and want to thank everyone for sharing their stories and realizing that there is light on the other side of this uncomfortable embarrassing tunnel. Much love.

Cotton ball soaked with apple cider vinegar worked for me also. At first I was going to use a bandaid to keep the cotton ball in place ... then I had the idea of using a condom instead. I cut off the top half, and then used the rest of the condom to hold the cotton ball in place ... and went to sleep. Next morning when I removed everything I was a bit concerned because the two warts had not only diminished in size but had actually turned black ... didn't know at the time that that is apparently what you want to happen. So I chose not to repeat the procedure on night two. The black scabs fell off within a couple of days .. and the applicable area looks fine. In essence, it only took one night to be rid of them.

I have had genital warts for over ten years and have twice had these two warts removed surgically ... and they both came back within a couple of years. This cure seems to have worked just as well ... the affected area looks the same as it did after the area healed post surgery. It's only been a couple of weeks ... and I know that they may come back again ... but this treatment was a lot more affordable, less painful and less time consuming than visiting a dermatologist.

..first off, I would like to sincerely thank everyone that posted, can't begin to express the extent of my gratitude! These last 3 yrs have been the toughest in my life & GW seemed to be the cherry on the cake after a nasty divorce, losing my home, job and experiencing my dad's death and finally meeting a great guy getting pregnant and having a stillbirth of course right after losing med insurance. I read these pages like a bible during treatment: sometimes for advice on the disease, other times just for support; ...so THANK YOU.

...now for my advice/experience:
My background: 25yr female, 3 sexual partners, GWs began to show following a severe ITCHY burning rash 1 month after losing the baby. Rash lasted 3 weeks. (*1 see note below about pregnancy.) It was difficult to giagnose because they didn't develop into warts until 3-4 months down the road, at first they were more flat, slightly white, were nearby eachother but not in clusters like most ppl, and started above labia not at vaginal hole also unlike most people. Another thing that threw off diagnosis was I had a severe yeast infection due to recent loss of baby & antibiotics & didn't have doc to tell me most the itching was unrelated. Warts began to mature into small eraser-sized white lumps. Had 3 near labia by month 3, about 6 at month 4, about 25 (most small/undefinable, 5 small warts, the 3 originals turned to eraser sized). They were spreading fast, I had no insurance, it affected intimacy with my partner which was devastating after the loss of our unborn baby and I had extreme depression over a multitude of trials in my life and this was the straw that broke my camel back. It was obvious we needed a solution.

Foreword:
If you're going through something similar: it gets better I promise; home treatment of GW is a long process, it seems most of the lucky quick-recoverers remembered to post here but not all longterm treatment warriors remember to post their advice. So take a deep breathe, set your resolve for a healthy genatalia once more and only look forward, do not get disappointed if GW don't go away right away.

Solution: Time to conquer!
TOPICAL TREATMENTS: After multitude of hrs researching, the best/most effective treatment it seems is apple cider vinegar(ACV). I'm not a doctor so I do not understand the entire process but I believe the concept is to fool the body with the 5% acid in the ACV into boosting your immune system in that particular region by slightly damaging skin and in the process breaking down the warts' malformed cells and healing into normal healthy skin (*2 see hazards for ACV). Other types of vinegars will work as well, however, ACV doesn't smell quite as bad and has an ideal acid %. GWs are difficult to treat because most of them are below the skin so to make them apparent: wipe skin with ACV and after a little while all warts, even warts under the flesh will appear 'wet' and turn whitish scar colored. For the first treatments I would NOT recommend leaving anything soaked in ACV on general genetalia area as some others have found success doing. Instead I suggest finding where all GWs are located using aforementioned ACV method and start by merely dabbing on ACV on specific areas before bed every night for a week or so & washing with dove soap the next morning. If skin becomes raw at any point discontinue ACV until it heals and apply vit E oil out of the capsule to prevent scarring. Before the week is out you will have a feel for the routine, listen to your body don't listen to my instructions you'll know whether to continue applying more frequently or less. (*3 see trial and error notes) Continue use until warts are COMPLETELY gone and don't forget the ones you located under the skin they may rise later if not careful.
Success stories from the cancer preventing agent EGCG are also great. It's a slower but safer method if ACV doesn't work. Apply it daily and up dosage after a week trial period. You can find it in extract form and mix it with a variety of compounds: asprin (also fights warts but might sting), shea butter or eucerin CREAM (if sensitive skin), or just water (but it may dry and fall off onto clothing eventually.) ECGC is the extraxt found in most teas, green tea having the highest amount. Drink as much green tea as you can.
Garlic is another natural wart fighter. Use same instructions as ACV or ECGC to apply garlic paste.
There are other methods but they are either too painful or cost too much $ to bother making note of them here on the home remedies website.

SUPPLEMENT TREATMENTS:
Remember your goal is boost immune system, so supplements work as well! You can choose to take only supplements and forego topical treatments but it will take at least 6 wks to 3 months to begin healing. You can also take any or all of the following supplements along with topical treatments: one a day multivitamin, ECGC supplement, rose hips, apple cider vinegar supplement(*4 see notes on effectiveness), elderberry, all B vitamins, calcium and many others have helped past GW victims.

Hope this gives hope to others as it was given to me, best of luck! And remember patience is a virtue :)

Tips:
-Try and keep downstairs as dry as possible, use the blow dryer after the shower if needed.
-Drink green tea as regularly as possible
-Steady your time schedule & work on boosting immune system. Bodies need their internal clocks finely tuned so get regular sleep & regular well rounded meals.

*1) for those women out there going through a pregnancy, just had a child, or dealing with the loss of your baby: it was difficult to find info on why I had this rash (GW had not risen yet) and as I did not have insurance anymore I couldn't ask doc, so after extenssssive research I found that essentially your body is taking care of the babe and defenses are down and it is not uncommon for a GW outbreak even if you'd been a carrier for years and haven't yet had an outbreak ESPECIALLY if the doctor gave you antibiotics. So don't be alarmed that your partner was unfaithful and contracted GW without telling you unless obviously if they test positive. But it is your moral obligation to let them know you have GWs and may have contracted it years ago from a previous partner. Wish I would have known this it would have saved a few stressful fights

*2) true, ACV is the most effective if used right but please, please do not be an over acheiver, this still is acid! Some people recommend starting with keeping the ACV on for 12hrs straight, but also ended up with burning scarring having unbearable itchy deep raw spots, not a fun thing to be in public and have a tender downstairs! Please be careful, start off simply applying once, not keeping any papertowels or panty liners down there until you are certain your body can handle it!! Otherwise, ACV doesn't interfere with other medicines, require going to doc, or require a scalpel (YIKES) so I still recommend it with caution.

*3 if you have raw skin everywhere but the warts (extremely frusterating) then lessen the amount you are applying and make sure your clothing doesn't soak it up and continue to rub the skin with acv.

*4 from my research it seems the jury is still out on whether ACV oral supplements actually help the healing of already risen warts but many people recommend them

I just tried the acv for the first time after worrying myself sick for months and I seen results immeaditly after using several cotton swabs diped in the vinegar holding each cotton swab on the wart for about 10-30 seconds at a time. After about 6 or 7 swabs the wart immeaditly started to regress back into my skin. This is so amazing and I'm excited to continue treatment but I also fear that there maybe more that I can not c so I also plan to order wartrol for long term relief.

so an update since my last post, just thought i would share it with you guys.
this was my old post:

so i used the ACV treatment every one is talking about, IT DID NOT WORK! i was so optimistic when i heard about this home remedy, so this is what happened: i used ACV for 2 days ( probably 3-4 hours) when i woke up on day 3, the GW had not changed color, shape, or any thing, but the skin around the warts had turned black so i stopped using ACV and now after 4 days the skin all around the GW's has pealed, the black part fell off the skin is red and tender and whats worst is the GW's are there and nothing has happened to them, and this is what exactly puzzled me when i was reading other peoples comments, how can u not hurt the normal skin while getting rid off the warts?
so has this happened to anyone? any suggestions? i really want these suckers gone and dont want to pay 370$ for the stuff the doctor prescribed me (my freakin insurance company doesnt cover it for some weird reason)

and now after several weeks:
so when the ACV didnt work, i went out and bought compound W, and then after a few days bought dr. scholl's freeze away. the good news; they both work but the freeze away works much faster, and both these treatments are relatively cheap ( the cost was less than 20$ from walmart ), it took about 2 weeks or so to get rid of them, i hope i had used these treatments earlier! if used correctly they should leave very little mark. im using vitamin E oil so it heals faster, after several weeks tho it seems like u would have some sort of mark there for a long time, but it really is non noticeable unless u pay really close attention.
on another note, both freeze away and compound W say not to use on genital warts but they are a good if u dont want to spend a ton of money for prescription medication.
i hope these suckers never come back!
good luck to all you out there!

Back in 2010, i was post-pregnancy and had my 6 week check-up, i was told after my pap-smear that i had hpv. I was shocked, but had no symptoms of warts, and was told they may never appear. So, i continued on with life. Well in June of this year (2011), i noticed that i had infact, warts, flat to my skin almost like my skin was a different texture, but not raised and growth like, all outside my vagina, then i noticed that i had also had some on the walls inside my vagina, they were different almost like fleshy skin growths, nothing like a wart. I tried everything from acv ( which was VERY painful) to tto. It seemed to either spread or grow larger!! because i am a women and i had a wide spread area it was hard to get rid of by just soaking it with something. Although i do still recommend both but more so for men. After almost breaking down with complete hopelessness, i continued my research and decided vitamins were my last hope before calling my ob-gyn. When i was pregnant i had hpv and never had any warts appear. Why? because i was on vitamins. I also had takin some herbal weight loss pills after my pregnancy to get rid of my last 15 pds or so, a month after i stopped taking them the warts appeared, so they started when i stopped taking any supplements. I one by one started my vitamins, lysine- didnt do much multi-vitamin-didnt do much, i then started enchinacea/goldenseal complex, a week later i started taking 5-6 odorless garlic pills a day. Which u can also break open and apply as an added extra. After abt a few days on the garlic, there was no irritation 'down there' so i thought ok the garlic pills are actually working. Now i have almost completely healed up, from the inside to the out its slowly dissappearing. Its been about 2 weeks. Garlic is definantly a miracle worker!! Although since then i also started taking b complex and folic acid. I am not only happy to have them almost completely gone but now i am confident that i can stop this problem from ever happening again! And its definantly improved my stress level which can also have an effect on your immune system. Goodluck to anyone struggling, dont let it control you. This disease is VERY common,and after opening up to a sibling, they told me they had also struggled with this! So, dont beat yourself up and get some garlic!

So I found out I have HPV from my fiancè. He felt horrible but its not his fault. We used a condom every time but finding out you can still get it with or with out a condom. But me being me I'm not paying for that crap the doctors try to sell me. So I hit the internet! I found ACV and tea tree oil. So yea acv does totally burn like hell but it works!!! I cut a cotton ball into a small piece and soaked it with acv the used medical tape. I had a nice decent sized one on my inner vaginal lip and taped it there all day. Changing it at least twice a day and wearing one all night. So it turned white the first day!! Second day it started to turn dark brown then later that day black! I was so relieved! Then it fell off the third day that's when I put tea tree oil on it cause the skin was very red cause of the acid from the acv. Now its all heeled up! Smooth skin!! I am so happy and so less disgusted with this annoying pain in the ass virus!! I have also started with a multi-vit. along with B-12 (since I'm anemic) vit-e, garlic, and drinking those emergen-c! I love those things lol. And started walking my 5-7 miles a day again. The only problem I have is the smoking. I know you shouldn't smoke since it can suppress your immune system, but I'm trying!
I hope this helps anyone who has read this!!
No on deserves this virus but at least 80% of us have it. So cheer up! Its not the end if the world or your sex life!

hope this helps.. I did much research on this subject Im 30 yrs old and have been with my girlfriend for 5 yrs. I was with about 20 women my whole life mostely with condoms but not all so to say who gave them to me is IMPOSSIBLE but To my surprise I found out I have genital warts I am active eat pretty well. I know a little about viruses in that you cannot cure it or get it out of your system as with any virus, all you can do is kick it in the butt. FIRST.. The Immune syste.. eat right and excercise, Sit in a sauna as much as possible for as long as safetly possible. Also if you have any mercury (medal) in your mouth you are poising yourself. When you have the money have your filings changed out. SUPPLEMENTS,, Vitamin D new research shows immune system needs D to activate T cells in the immune system with out D. the virus can go forever without even realizing it has a problem. Mainly thats why you grow warts. (body doesnt think theres a problem.) I also do elderberry mainly thats just because everone else says it works. Also take my multivitamins C,D use liquid Vitmain E on the skin OK The WART like I said your immune system does not know there is a problem so you have to draw attention to that area by damaging the skin and in turn the immune system will locate the wart and fix that as well. Most Wart MEDS have some sort of fancy acid mix to attack the tissue and boost immune response. You can do this on your own but home remedies you have to be VERY CAREFUL and you only have one try or else you will keep damanging the the same skin over and over until you are in great deal of pain and takes weeks to heal. Apply ACV in a small amount to the area. leave on for 8-10 hours. Then remove wait 16 hrs. As the skin will react to the acid in the ACV apply vitamin E to the area to prevent scarring and encourage growth of new skin as the body reacts to the irrated skin the skin will die along with the wart tissue turing black and falling off.

I have been away from my husband who is out of the US for immigration issues which we we're trying to resolve and obviously had unprotected sex when I saw him 8 months ago and then again 2 months ago. 2 weeks after being with him I noticed about 4 small/tiny bumps on my vagina and about 8 on my anus which I thought was razor burn of some sort but within a week I knew it was warts :( I was devistated and cried myself to sleep on several occasions. I started reading how to get rid of these at home because I'm am just terrified of going to the doc and being embarrased and basically branded as a slut or a whore my whole life and its not like u can explain to the doc that your story (like he would care). Anyways :) I started the ACV and it didn't burn to much on the first day, I put cotton balls soaked in acv in between my butt and then put more cotton balls on the affected area on my vagina and put tape on top and pressed down for a good 3 hours.The next morning I went to work and the warts were a wierd grey color not white like everyone had said and I picked at the ones on my vagina and they started falling off. The next night I did the same thing and this is when the pain started I had to take ibuprofen for the pain but I got through it. By day 3 the ones on my anus where completely gone. On my vagina the skin started turning white and started peeling I did it 4 nights in a row until it was like raw skin on my vagina so I decided to give a break I had read that boosting your immune system helps so I had bought some vitamin c chewable tablets at walmart that were orange flavored (hate swallowing pills) so I had a crazy idea to crush the vitamin c tablet and put it on my vagina where the raw skin was and kind of let it stay there while my skin healed.. it stung so bad I could barely walk but the wierd thing is the next day. My skin had completely healed like I never had anything so I decided to use the acv at night and in the day crush the vitamin and let it sit there anyways .. :) 1 week and they were gone and they have been gone for 1 month and a half and hopefully my body has cleared it because I do no think I deserve this horrible virus. I don't think anyone does.

The cure that worked for me was: I went to the doctor for a staph infection, they gave me a real strong antibiotic but don't remember the name sorry. Also was the area of my genitals with Hibiclens and used Apple vinegar to kill the large warts. The thing is after a week everything went away, even the small untreated ones. It's been almost two year no problem, knock on wood. Hope this works for you.

Hi everyone. I'm a 29 year old female who noticed my warts about two months ago. I was devastated...and afraid to go to the doctor. After buying all kinds of expensive creams I tried to stick to a more natural approach...and it worked. Most of my warts have gone away!! I have been taking...
1 women's one a day multivitamin
1000 mg of vitamin C
1000 mg odorless garlic
1000 mg vitamin E
300 mg green tea extract
And 2 weeks of 800mg Tagamet (OTC acid reducer which is known to help warts)

I also used ACV twice a day for a week. Staggered with tea tree oil/castor oil to soothe my skin from the burning/itching caused my ACV.

I also take 1 5 hr. Energy a day for b12 vitamins.

I'm not sure what it was that did the trick because of taking so many vitamins and using both castor oil and ACV...but it defiantly worked. Only a few more to go...then hopefully no relapses! Think positive...your body can fight this. Make sure you watch your alcohol intake!!!

Ok so i started to notice warts appearing around the under rim of my cock, one in particular was quite large and had a crystal like quality. I didn't want to go through a few days of pain so instead i had another idea and found a plastic bottle with an opening big enough in which my cock would fit into. I cut the bottle in half put my cock through the opening and poured the acv in the other end and sat in the same spot for around 8 hours holding the half bottle in place. I took it off and immediately jumped into the shower, around 15 minutes after letting down there air dry i noticed they were beginning to turn grey and smaller. A few hours later they were completely black and the big one had shrunk to almost nothing, i was amazed to say the least. Over the next couple days they healed and completely disappeared.

I wish everyone luck in getting rid of these f*ckers!

OK, first off I wanna say this site is awesome and it's really helpful. I'm gonna try to keep it short but I noticed a few bumps around the bottom of my penis a few years back. They really didn't get crazy but I'm paranoid and I hate seeing ANYTHING down there so I used the lighter to heat up the tip of a pin and burned em off from time to time. You really don't have to get the tip that hot, just hot enough to zap the little sucker. But right after you zap it, take a super sharp razor blade and cut off the melted part. Just make sure you hold your skin tight and only cut off the minimal part that got zapped and try to limit the use of the razor blade to one time, because it will bleed a little and makes it harder to see what you're doing. It sounds painful but it's really not. In about 5-7 days, you should be free and clear.

Next comment on a few more bumps I found down there the other day. Ok, so I didn't have any acv but I had distilled white vinegar, so I dipped a small piece of cotton in it, wrapped about 15 inches of gauze around it and used a rubber band around it instead of sticky tape. A lot neater and keeps it tight enough. Just don't make it too tight. I left it on for about 5-6 hours. It didn't really burn at all and it didn't smell.

Now the next few days, it's gonna look gruesome down there. It's gonna go from red to black in about 3 days. Just take a shower and lightly dab it with soap. I also used some Vitamin E oil 2 days afterwards. Didn't wanna put it on right away. I also used some Neosporin about 4 days in. Used that for about 2-3 days. After about 7 days, the scabs should start to fall off, improving a lot over the next 3 days after. I'm now at day 10 and it's just about all cleared up. I give it about 2 more days until total recovery.

A lot cheaper and less embarrassing than going to the doctor. I know you can feel weird about going to the doctor about this stuff when you can resolve the issue at home. I mean it's not like they have a cure anyhow so why not just do at home what they will only do at the doctor's office. Now if they had a total cure, I would visit the doctor, but until then, no thanks. Anyhow, good luck and hope I helped someone.

The complete cure for HPV in any stage of this disease including the high risk strains is six months of interferon injections WITH aloe vera propolis and B-complex. Without the aloe vera propolis and B-complex the cure rate is not 100%. This is cure not treatment or remedy. For the published results go to pubmed dot gov and type in 'aloe vera hpv' without the quotes.
Aloe Vera works because it contains polysaccharides which aid in the communication of the immune system via nitric acid and stimulates macrophages 10 fold. A vaccine based on this concept developed by ISA pharmaceuticals uses synthetic long peptides which is basically exactly the same thing as polysaccharides except they are synthetic. Its called synthetic long peptide (SLP) technology.
The vaccine is less effective than using interferon injections with aloe vera propolis and B-complex. Here is how the interferon injection fare without aloe vera propolis and B-complex:
Go to hemispherx dot net and see the results there.

Notice it says no recurrence in 76%... With aloe vera propolis and B-complex it worked in 100% of the patients (which is rare in clinical trials), and also notice that HPV was not present in the tissue after 6 months. 100% cure.

Sodium dodecyl sulfate is in toothpaste and if you look for your self you see that it kills hpv just look at the ingredients not all toothpaste have it

Putting it on just after a good shower works the best that's it I I've done it and worked well and it may work well alternating apple cider vinegar with it

Look on wiki under uses for the chemical

first off, I'm a guy. This worked for me and very quickly.

RED WINE VINEGAR. Ok, so I had a small grouping of warts covering an area about the size of a penny. I had read about using cotton balls soaked in acv but I didn't have those things handy so I tried soaking a folded up paper towel in rwv and used electrical tape to hold it in place. I left it there for two hours and when I removed the p towel the warts had disolved away.

I didn't experience any pain although, tiny scabs appeared where the warts had been. They went away after two days and I've been all clear since.

I figured I'd post my situation as well..

I noticed a small cluster of GW on the
right side of my shaft a few months ago and did some research and decided to try out the ACV method..

Day 1: I soaked a piece of paper towel in ACV and placed it over the infected area, and kept it in place with some black electrical tape. I left it on throughout the night and by morning the GW were white and fairly puffy.

I went about my day and as I came home in the evening the GW started to turn black.

Day 2: Did the same treatment process over again, and the following morning the GW became more dark in color.

Day 3: Treatment process once again, and this time when i took the bandage off in the morning basically the entire GW was black and a tiny bit of the GW actually fell off..

I'm on day 3 and will continue this process until my GW are completely gone. Hopefully it wont be too long!

P.S. I've also been taking 1000mg of Vitamin C each night before I go to sleep as I have read that helps with the treatment as well.

For anyone that is reading up on this and seems skeptical, it's definitely worth a try.

i'm a 26 year old female, a nurse, and a bit of a hippie i guess, and i recently noticed some smallish but horribly itchy bumps right on the right side of the opening of my vagina... so i had them checked at the doctor and she said they could either be skin tags or genital warts, which didn't tell me much. she did a freezing on them, but truth be told it didn't really do anything, though she had warned it would likely take a few visits to completely get rid of whatever it was.

in my youth i had horrible plantar warts on my feet, and it always took so long to get rid of them.

anyways, since i'm impatient i found this site and began the apple cider vinegar method (that shit cures everything i swear), and i just wadded up some toilet paper and soaked it with acv and held ti against the area - it burns like absolute stinging hell, but its worth it. i had it there for about an hour, and then because my pussy felt a bit fried i decided to leave it for a couple days and i alternated with tea tree oil. just wiping it on with qtips whenever i'm in the bathroom. it tingles, but its a good tingle!

i've also been taking echinacea, garlic pills, vitamin e, iron, and vitamin c, and i've been downing those vitamin water 10cal drinks, and i've seen quite a bit of improvement!

the small warts fell off in the bath this morning, and the 2 larger ones are now the size of the small ones.

i remember once my doctor explained to me that warts are like unwanted company.. as long as you keep feeding them they're gonna stick around, so what you need to do is make your body as inhospitable as possible for them... keep your body healthy, get some exercise, quit your damn smoking because it's bad as hell for you, and most importantly - chill the fuck out.

yes we have warts. yes they're gross as hell, but really what's freaking out going to do? it's going to trigger stress which is then going to trigger more warts or make your existing warts even bigger.

try to be nice to yourself and ladies - realize this.. i'm by no means a slut, and i got this from another GIRL. it can happen to anyone and it just happens. my doc said she treats it all the time and she doesn't feel it's a big deal. she also recommended against the gardasil vaccine, because of the whacko side effects (and also possibly because a girl here in my town ended up in a wheelchair because of it.. she's 14.. and call me nuts but i'd rather have some warts on my shit than be in a wheelchair unable to move my legs).

thanks to everyone for writing in this topic. it really helped me.
i will update as i learn more.

I tried the ACV and I just could not take the smell and the amount of pain it causes for days after applying the crap. I learned that burning off the wart from many internet research was the best way to permanently get rid of it. Like most bacteria and viruses they are atracted to dark and moist areas and thrive there. Vitamins are a MUST when supplementing your immune system through all this process.

After taking a shower take your hair dryer and press the cold air button so it won't hurt, but dry your area until dry so for about 5 minutes.

Then have a set of matches, this is the hardest part to do and can be dangerous if not careful. Light one up, let it burn for about 5 seconds blow it until completely off. Quickly, set that match on the affected area (I.e. Wart) keep it there until it completely cools down. The wart part automatically burns off and the skin comes off. If it starts to bleed use a cotton ball to clot the blood, keep the area very clean alcohol works just fine. Repeat, but I suggest only doing a certain area at a time, it is very painful.

Vitamin E is the next step either the gel capsule or oil is fine. Rub the oil in each area treated as the end process.

The skin heals very fast and within days had amazing results. But there is always the stubborn wart that takes more then one time to completely get rid of it.

I've been wart free for more then 8 mths now. I do keep up the drying the area at least once a week and rub vitamin E oil each time I shower.

Keep away from tobacco i don't know what it is but it does help warts come back. Which us definately not good.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years. Shortly after we got together I noticed what I thought were just bumps. Went to dr and got diagnosed with hpv and gw. They did procedures and gave me prescriptions and I cleared up within weeks. I never had many. I think it was just 3 and I was lucky enough to have insurance so sticking to the drs methods worked for me. Well a few months later my boyfriend had developed a small cluster at the base of his penis barely noticable because of the hair. Anywho we kinda shrugged it off for a while since we were faithful and it was just us we figured no harm. Most of the research I found at that time suggested the wait for it to go away on its own method. Well that never happened. So now we have decided to have a baby but we want these gone first. At the moment I have one and he has 4. We are using ACV along with tea tre oil and peroxide and neosporin. So far things are looking good. I am so glad we have each other for support. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THOSE DOING IT ALONE I COULDNT IMAGINE.
If all goes well and we are rid of them, that would be great. But even better would be never having to worry again. So after so much research I still dont have a clear understanding of the 'cure' of the virus. We mostly didnt use protection and now all I can figure is we continually passed it back and forth possibly. Any suggestions on things to do after you get rid of them to try to rid the virus as far as sex goes? Is abstaining the better option or perhaps just condoms? If I were single this would be an easy decision. However in a relationship I know we both have the virus yet pertection hasnt always been that important to us. Hope this makes sense and isnt just 3 am ramblings. Im just wondering if there are other couples that may have some advice to offer as far as long term treatment.

I have had genital warts for about 5 months now, iv tried everything given and reccommended, western or herbal. nothing has worked. the acid tratments made the thing bigger too! and so i resorted to 5 pints of cider, some anti septic and a blade. DO NOT DO THIS! i was stupid and fed up, desperate i guess, now after all that it has returned under the little scar i was left with, i dont want to know how deep you'd have to cut to get the root out! i went deep enough!

my last resort is a freezing kit, going to try that,accept the scat, tell people it was a big zit that scarred. if this fails it will be a life of seclusion until they go away naturally!

I am only 19 years old. I figured out that I probably have genital warts a few months ago. I'm way too scared to tell anyone about this. I refuse to tell my parents, doctor, or even my best friends about it. I had unprotected sex with a good friend of mine. Stupid of me. I'm not the type of girl to have sex with people and one of the random times that I do, I catch something of course. I guess we all learn from our mistakes, even if it's too late. Anyways...I don't know what to do. I 'm trying every remedy on this website because I am so desparate for help. I wish I had someone who I could trust and feel comfortable enough with to take me to the doctor. I know if I were to ask anyone i would be judged, I already feel depressed enough because of this. I'm not even a hundred percent sure that this is GW but whatever it is it sucks. I'm always tingling, itching, theres blisters or warts i dont really know which one they are...they dont really hurt that much but theres a lot of them and it's disgusting. Can anyone please help me and give me advice. I really really need someone to talk to who has the same problem as me, or went through the same problem as me.

Thankyou so much.

After throwing my money at Veregen (which seriously is overpriced and overated) I've finally found a genital warts treatment that FINALLY works. I've been using Oxyfend for the past two weeks now and all I can say is so relieving to find a trustworthy product. It may not work for everyone but it does for me and I can actually afford it.

ACV isn't bad but I cannot stand the smell, it's gross and kinda sticks to the inside of my nose so I end up smelling it for a couple of hours afterwards.

Hello people,

I'm 34 years old male - gay. Just for info that I have both herpes and GW, the latter was diagnosed 4 days ago when I woke up and saw this small painless bump (not itchy) on my the shaft of my penis. After freaking out thinking it was syphilis, my doctor spilled out the nasty word CONDYLOMA ACUMINATA, etc. There's no drug for it only topical ointment or liquid nitrogen and asked me to wait and see. I can't wait so I took the matter in my own hands. So yesterday I took my vitamin C powder ( 1/4 teaspoon) & mix it with 2 drops of water and made it like a paste and dab it on the nasty wart. I covered it with cotton ball & bandaid. The next day it shriveled. I repeated the same thing last night and it was a little burning so I took it off and applied antiseptic prickly heat dusting powder. This morning I woke up, the wart has shrunk and turned black like a scab. Completely dried. The nodule is gone and flesh colored center part of it is gone too. So now I'm just waiting for the scab to fall off by itself but I'm boosting my self with 12 grams of garlic softgels & 3 000 mg of Vitamin C daily. Will keep you guys posted....hope it works

Well this is my first time dealing with this kind of situation but I have done a lot of research and tests on my self to conclude that ACV DOES WORK!! I'm only 22 years old and contracted Genital Warts from unprotected sex! So stupied.. You live and you learn but sometimes to late. Im dealing with it the best I can and its working out. One poped out and then another and another and another. Got bigger and bigger. So I went to a STD specialist and he confirmed it was GW's. I have insurance and he recomended I do laser surgey on it. Which f***kin Hurts. It came back. So I went online and did research for a month. Long story short this is what worked amazingly for me! Went to the store and bought ACV (heinz) because it was one of the best one's i used and i went through a couple of test runs. Its got alot of pulp from the apple and i guess its pretty pure 5% acidic. Anyways I then took a bounty paper towel and folded it 1 to 1 1/2 inch over and over about 5 to 6 times getting it thick. soaked it in ACV and wrapped it around my shaft. Put some medical paper tape you can buy at CVS around it so that it wont fall off. I did this be4 i went to bed best time to do it. Woke up and those GW's where white and a small brown spot, so i knew something was working =). Anyways this stuff BURNS so be carefull and i read alot of people do get over burned but I think the first night it should be applied heavy on the GW's. Next day wake up and take a nice long WARM bath with Epson Salt, I poured half the carton in the water and stood in the bath for a good Hour! Next do the same but durring the day for a good 5 to 6 hrs. Remember everyone body is diff so take a look at it sometimes you dont want to burn your healthy skin which if you do will be okay, just hurts untill it heals. Then at night take another warm bath with EPSON Salt. Go sleep and dont out any more ACV. wake up next morning and put some ACV on for another 3 to 4 Hrs wrapped (becarefull if it is burning the skin leave it on for a hr or 2) You will see that the GW's are brownish / black with white and the healthy burned skin was just pure white and a lil possy looking lessions. Now later on take another bath with some Epson Salt again ( I poured some next to my shaft close by so it can absorb it more). Now that night when your about to go sleep take a condom put it on right and sleep with it till morning. I know it sounds stupid but it worked for me. I;m guessing because there is no air for the GW's to breath and it made a hudge difference for me. plus its feels lubricated so it does not hurt. I'm from NYC so I used the free ones from the clinic (NYC condom - natural rubber latex and it had some lube to it like most condoms do). Now next day wake up and take another bath with Epson Salt (warm bath) and you should be scabbing (it came right off in the water and looked great like nothing there!) I go to the GYM and eat right and take my vitamins and I have been Genital Wart free for over 8 months! Try it I HOPE IT WORKS FOR EVERY1. Good Luck to EVERY1.

I just removed one of two stubborn genital warts using only apple cider vinegar. I applied acv full strength overnight for three nights in row. The wart will turn black and appear like a scab. It only took three applications and the wart fell off today went I checked the progress. Caution, the acv will burn the surrounding skin. You will have to limit the area being treated to minimize burning. The burned skin also fell off with the wart. Once the wart has reached the scabbed stage, you don't need to apply acv. Good luck, now I can return to normal and not be worried about my warts.

I was devastated to learn I had HPV and had to have a cryo cause of the cancerous cells in my cervix. I thought I would be fine as it was only inside of me. Well a couple months ago, I started noticing pain with intercourse and only to find out that I have the warts around the opening of my vagina now and my labia. I started researching and seen the ACV treatment but havent tried it yet. But I had some packs of Aldara that were given to me. I did not research this as I just rubbed all over down there and inside my vagina for 2 nights in a row. Needless to say..I had burnt my skin and had sores that looked like herpes but wasnt. The sores got infected and I could not urinate without pain. I will never do that again but dont have insurance to have these warts removed from a doctor. I need more remedies to where I can do at home and not burn my skin. The bad part is...I have a horrible immune system.

I must start by saying I am very happy I found this site. Not only has all the suggestions been extremely helpful but has also been a great line of support when I have felt down and depressed. I am a 26 year old female that contracted GW about 2 years ago. I am not going to go into how or my amount of partners (trust me there hasn't been many)! They way I look at it is I have them and they have to go.
I like many, went through the doctor's and the Aldera cream which were not successful for me at all. Of course I do not have health insurance so it made any other form of 'professional treatments' out of the question. I gave up for a month or two. My self esteem went down, my sleep suffered, my over all being was at its lowest point. I really could go on and on about the mental anguish I went through, however it would be rather boring lol. Just trust me things were not great.

I just wanted to share that I start a vitamin regiment and the ACV about three days ago. I figured a 20-30 dollar investment into my health when I really have no other choice right now wouldn’t hurt. I do have to confess that I was skeptical whether or not any of these remedies would really work, but just the last few days I have seen a change…

I have been taking the following per day;
1 woman’s one-a-day
2 B-12’s
2 chewable vitamin C tablets
2 vitamin D 1000 (helps with upset stomach which I have a sensitive one)
2 Lysine tablets 1 morning 1 at lunch

At bedtime I soak a gauze pad in ACV and place it on the area where most of my warts are present. I then place another dry pad on top of the wet one; I do this so that the medical tape/band-aid will stick (Small tip- fabric band aids work the best). I have left this on now for the last two nights. In the morning I wash with gentle anti-bacterial soap (yellow dial is super soothing) then reapply a small coat of ACV and leave that on throughout the day. When I come home I wash the area again with soap let air dry and give it a couple hours to heal. If your skin around the wart seems too been getting irritated try applying Neosporin for a few hours, this should help. I do not ever touch the wart in fear that they might spread to another area so when applying the ointment, squeeze some on a q-tip and make sure to always wash your hands for at least 60 seconds to insure that your spreading germs on sink handles, other skin areas ect. Like I stated before I am on day 3 of this treatment and too much surprise 3 warts have completely vanished and the others are turning white and beginning to break into pieces!! I am super excited already, and very hopeful that the progress will continue to be positive. I am not in any pain so to speak, just a little uncomfortable, but not like before where all hope was lost. In fact I would rather be in a little discomfort down there than in every other aspect of my life. I also wanted to add this tid-bit of info, if you are feeling down and out, try taking St. Johns wart three times a day. It is a natural mood stabilizer and really has helped me with the depression part of this STD.

I will be checking back frequently to see other posts for morale support and I will update my progress. I will also provide my e-mail at the end for any questions you might have or just for simple conversation, for me knowing I wasn’t alone was calming. I wish all of you the best of luck in which ever method you try! Remember the power of positive is an amazing thing in itself. Take care now.

Warmest Regards-
Krys

CLEANING

FYI--I am in the medical field.I am all for scientific or hollistic medicine, both are good.
I have been GW free for 16yrs.by no miracle, sorry. just one of the lucky few, never had visible warts, had 1 cryo for cervical dyspasia, been clear since. I am currently battling flat warts on my arms and face.first true outbreak/problem with warts.been reading through these posts and got concerned about a lack of knowledge in cleanliness.
1. bleach water---alcohol does not kill the hpv virus, alcohol only kills lipid enveloped viruses. clean everything with bleach.remember to wipe down the toilet seat before and after use.
2. showers only---not sure of the true mechanisms but baths do increase speading. I use a shallow strong bleach water mix on days i need to shave, then shower.
3. shower daily with a salicyclic acne cleanser, psorisis shampoos are little more bang for your buck. this will help you to shed the most of your skin cells in the shower, you have to lather up and stay covered for a couple minutes before rinsing.
4. whatever treatment method you choose, both partners must be thoroughly checked and treated at the same time, also no skin contact with infected sites until both are cleared and skin is completely healed from treatment. condoms are not protective of hpv. strict abstinence until both persons are clear.

Sounds like most people are pretty on top of some effective treatments. Don't waste your good fortune, be CLEAN and prevent spreading.

I figured I would post an update on my progress, as it's both therapeutic for me to talk about anonymously and I think it might be helpful for others out there struggling with this problem as well.

I left off with a severe second degree burn over a large portion of my penis. I ended up having to wait about a week for the burn to heal, as putting anything on it hurt like hell. I basically just washed it with hydrogen peroxide a couple times a day and kept it covered in neosporin and a bandage. After it healed to the point where I felt I could resume treatment, I decided to switch to a slightly less intense ACV treatment. Basically, I made a paste of crushed up aspirin and equal parts castor oil and acv to about toothpaste consistency. I'm a little skeptical that the castor oil actually does anything, but I wanted to dilute the acv anyway so I decided to go ahead with this. I applied this paste at night to affected areas and covered it with cotton soaked in a 50% diluted ACV solution (this was to keep the paste from drying out, increasing the effectiveness, but also diluting the ACV so I wouldn't burn my dick again!).

It was difficult to see results given that a large region of my shaft and scrotum was still quite irritated, and then I had a major setback. The gws spread to another area where I had never had never had them before and there were tons of them, about 50+, and I got extremely discouraged. In retrospect I imagine this spreading was caused by me overdoing the procedure and not allowing some time to heal between treatments. Anyway, I continued to apply the paste/cotton ball treatment to affected areas, and thankfully the new gws-which were all quite small-disappeared in a matter of days. However, there remained the problem of the larger, older gws that I had been struggling with.

Words of caution here-I had a single gw on my shaft that I had treated with over the counter wart freezer, which I thought killed it successfully but actually made it far, far worse. The wart didn't exactly spread, but became MUCH deeper rooted-I could tell not only because the ACV wasn't working on it as effectively, but also because where the gw had previously showed up as a small white spot it was now a large (~2 cm x 5 cm) area that showed up completely white after applying ACV. Anyway, this is going to sound gruesome but I basically had to keep applying the paste to this area nightly, using the day as a recovery period, until I almost got down to bare flesh-every day another layer of infected, yellow skin would peel off. Eventually I could see tiny white spots which I believe to be the 'roots' of the wart, and were clustered throughout the warty tissue. Sometimes I would peel away the infected skin, which I felt necessary to prevent it from spreading further. Anyway, I eventually managed to get rid of the warty tissue at the roots in this particular area through perseverance! There was basically an open sore on my shaft but it is healing ok and I expect it to be fully healed in a week (it's been about 4-5 weeks since I began using ACV at all, and maybe 3 weeks after healing from the burns).

I haven't completed treatment yet, as there are still a few stubborn warts on my shaft which continue to get smaller. My scrotum has been a bigger problem-after leaving paper towels soaked in ACV on overnight I found that a large region, about 2 inches by 4 inches, seemed to infected-I couldn't see individual warts but the whole thing showed up white, with one spot near the middle having turned black. Needless to say I was discouraged, but at this point I know the ACV treatment can and does work, it's just a matter of pushing on until it's all taken care of. I've continued the ACV treatment I described above, and after a couple days several layers of infected skin on my scrotum basically sloughed off in the shower. The area was quite tender, and having made the mistake of overdoing the treatment before I decided to wait a couple days before resuming treatment, as I'm assuming that I'm getting CLOSE to annihilating them all but not there yet. Waiting to apply another treatment was definitely a good idea, as the outer layers of skin have continued to peel off leaving what looks to me like healthier skin below.

So this is the point I am at now: I am treating what seems to be a large infected area on my scrotum, and a few isolated gws on the shaft of my penis. I am going to resume treatment tonight and hopefully things will go well this week. My advice to those out there is to remain positive, and most importantly, don't overdo the treatments!! A couple days of applying ACV followed by a couple days of rest seems to be better than applying it every day, as it gives your body time to get rid of the dead skin/warts and generate new skin from underneath, and also lowers the risk of completely burning yourself like I did. Once again a long post but I hope this is helpful or at least a cautionary tale. Good luck to everyone, and I will try to post again when this ordeal is over.

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd be brave and share what helped me..
About 2 years ago I suspected I had GWs. I was scared and infuriated. I knew that I obviously didn't give them to myself; It was a huge gash to my self esteem and unlike most things, this falls under the way too much information category of best friendship. The only one I could tell with some pride still intact was Google.
I went online as most do and stayed up very late searching for a reasonable cure or divine miracle to fall into my lap(literally).
For a few weeks I was consumed with worry and anger. Hoping them away doesn't work and at the time I didn't have any insurance. They just grew.
I finally went to the doctor and my fate was confirmed.I opted out of in office treatment and went home to pout and cry.
Back to the internet.
I decided to spring for the 0.87 ACV and some fresh garlic cloves. I also grabbed some lemons and tea tree oil.
And decided to make this work.
I started with a warm shower or bath with epsom salt. Epsom salt is great. frees the body of toxins and makes skin feel great. You can also had dry milk if you so like. It's very cheap and makes your skin feel glorious and soft which is the most important part of this process. Out of the shower I would apply the Acv with a q tip.I would sometimes wear a thin pantie liner to mask the smell of the AVC. I also found that you can add lavender to the AVC and make it a bit more tolerable. Through out the day it was difficult. I was working full time so I had to bring this stuff to work and do it on my lunch break. Not fun, but one thing about doing it this way is you must be committed.
At work I'd bring a small container of peroxide, Acv and tea tree oil. I would Apply the peroxide first to clean and dry the skin, apply the acv and lastly the tea tree oil. I would do this at least twice while at work.
I would drink lemon water ALL DAY. Lemons are awesome for disinfecting your insides. I don't like drinking water so this was way around it.
At home I really tried to boost my immune system. I'm a big fan of the emergenC line and love the coca cola flavor. I'd drink about 2 packets of these a day. It really made a difference. Now about the garlic.
THIS WILL GROSS YOU OUT!!!
I would eat about 3 cloves a day. Garlic is amazing. Its healing attributes are astounding and I sometimes feel that this did the most for my immune system.
On weekends I would mash the garlic until it was paste like and apply it right to my affected area.
I did this for about 3 weeks. And saw major improvement! After the third week. Things seemed to get worse. They started to come back and this made me crazy, but I kept up with my routine. After a month only 3 small dots remained. I went to the store and bought a cheap bottle of liquid wart remover.This is warned against, but getting rid of warts is all about getting rid of the root, and I still think this was a good move. After applying the liquid, the skin would turn white and peel off. But a small lump would always remain.
I did this along with everything else for about 3 more weeks and always with the same result.
I was beginning to get discouraged, this had become somewhat of an obsession to me and It was killing me that I couldn't fix this.
I was going camping for a week and I was very nervous about not being able to keep to my strict regime while out enjoying the wilderness, and the fact of that terrified me. I went garlic in tow. Very nervous and bummed knowing that when I got home I may be in worse shape then when this all began.
To my surprise just the opposite.
After the week I came home and they were gone. GONE. GONE. Nothing there!! I stopped worrying somewhere around day 3 of that trip, and with that and my garlic they vanished.
All in all I had them for about 3 1/2 months. They sucked. And I worried a lot. But I won in the end.
Boosting your immune system is key in anything,with this make it priority. Lots of Garlic, vitamin c and lemon water is absolute life saver and last but not least, Hakuna Matata.

Good luck to everyone.

I have had Genital warts for the past two or so years on the right side of my penis shaft. I went to a uroglogist in April 2010 and he recommended the laser removal so I had the procedure done. The warts came back about 6 months later and I became distraught. I ordered wartrol, potassium pills, garlic pills, vitamin e, tried the home freeze kits and even followed someones recommendation on this site of heating a needle and applying it to the warts. I tried all these things with no real success, admittedly I just panicked and tried all these things a few times without using one treatment over an extended period of time. Flash forward to April 2011 and I went back to the urologist and had the laser removal again. It worked for the most part but I have several really small bumps in that same area of the penis.I think they are to small for the laser surgery and would rather not go through that embarrassing procedure again.

Next weekend is Thanksgiving (and I will have a few days off of work) so I plan on treating these with a heavy does of the apple cider vinegar treatment. I am hoping the ACV treatment will smooth out that area and clear it up. I am also going to take potassium pills and garlic pills for the next month and might use vitamin e oil to heal the area up.

Any input would be great. I have my fingers crossed that this will work and remove the smaller warts that remain and smooth out the skin in that area.

so I woke up two days ago with a daunting feeling that I was having an outbreak. Sure enough,I got my mirror out and they they were again rearing their ugly heads. I was diagnosed with GW about 3 years ago. i had an outbreak, used aldara for a week and they disappeared. Just this past summer, suddenly I had a second outbreak after almost 3 years of nothing. With a lot of vitamins, they disappeared after about 3 weeks.

Anyways, for the past 2 days, I had been trying the banana peel method. While they weren't getting worse, they weren't getting much better. Last night I went to the pharmacy and bought teat tree oil and soap, vitamin c tablets,and zantac. I went to bed last night with a tea tree oil soaked bandage. Woke up this morning...no change.

So here's what I did. This morning, I crushed a vit C tablet, and aspirin, and some garlic. I added a few drops of water and a few drops of tea tree oil and mixed it all together into a paste. I put this o at 11:30 and left to go to breakfast with friends. I just got back home at 2pm and....they have shrunk TREMENDOUSLY! And the pain when I touch the area with a q-tip (which usually is how I know i'm having an outbreak) is completely gone! Thank God! Two and a half hours! I hope they continue to disappear. i will keep you all posted.

Also, keep in mind I have been taking garlic pills, echinacea, and a daily multivitamin. I have also noticed that alcohol really weakens my immune system. The past two times I have had an outbreak has been after a night of heavy drinking. I also cut out the coffee this week and switched back to green tea.

I hope this helps

I had one genital wart that looked like other warts growing on top of it; and it kept growing in size. I lived with this for over 10 years. Here is what worked for me - no joke.

I took some dental floss and tied a slip-not around the base of the wart(s), as far down as I could get it - like a noose. I tied the knot as tight as I could without causing any bleeding, but to the point I knew it was cutting off blood circulation to the wart. I began to see discoloration of the wart within 24 to 48 hours. Yes, it was a little uncomfortable but I was desparate for a cure after trying topicals and other methods that never worked for me.

In about 4 days the firt half of the wart dried up and fell off, along with the dental floss that was holding that part of the wart. I tied another piece of dental floss around the rest of the wart in a noose like fashion. Within another 4 days the rest of the wart(s) that had plagued me for over twenty years was gone. I have been wart-free for over 4 months now, with no signs of them returning. It feels so good.

I got this idea from my father-in-law who lived in the Phillipines. He told me they would use dental floss to remove skin 'tags' or warts. He said they would tie them in a knot and choke them, and eventually they would fall off. I finally tried something that sounded weird to me, but it worked.

HI guys, I'm back. Just wanted to update everyone. At the moment I am wart free!! Thank you Jesus. The Vit C tab really worked. The scarring is almost completely gone. (Only I can tell.) No new outbreaks. Although I still havent treated the few warts I have in the 'pink.' I'm just afraid they will spread to the outside. I am on my vitamin regiman daily. As far as the itching.....Well let me back up. After I removed the warts, I began having some serious itching. It was from the removed wart spots and then some. It was unbearable. But I found something that worked!! Can you say DESITIN??!!! This was a God send!! Desitin was the ONLY thing that helped the itching!! I STILL use it to this day. I keep a nice coat down there. I dont know if its helping to discourage growth also or not. I shaved there for last night (I sterilized before and after, the razer) and my stuff looked new again! I applied the desitin back on. I hope I helped a lot of peeps out. I will keep you all posted in the future. Thanks everyone. Love ya all!!

scholls wart freeze. Did twice in a row.. 30 seconds each time. About a minute apart. Waited till it turned red. Then TTO every night for 7 days. The thing just fell off after a week!!!! I used medical tape and a small piece of cotton ball soaked in TTO overnight. Was a little strong for me after first night so I just dabbed it with a q-tip a few times before going to sleep for the remainder of the week. I found this site a week ago and just put this routine together and it worked perfect! I had this damn thing for about 4 years...

With the amount of genital warts treatments out there, I struggled to find the treatment that worked without burning or irritating my skin.

This meant finding a product with natural ingredients with no harsh chemicals etc. I found some sites talking about genital warts treatments that contain green tea catechins and ozone.

Google kept on showing a site called zerowarts.com whenever I searched for 'genital warts treatment green tea catechins' or 'genital warts treatment ozone'.

I visited the site and was pleased to find loads of helpful advice and information. The product available is called Oxyfend and I must say that I'm glad I bought it.

It works really well, doesn't burn or irritate my skin and actually arrives in the mail very discreetly...thank goodness!!!

I recommend it to anyone who has been burnt (literally and figuratively) in the past when it comes to genital warts treatment...natural solutions are definitely the way to go.

Has anyone tried a product called Oxyfend? It's been mentioned a few times online and in some forums. Some people are saying that it works really well in helping to treat genital warts.

I'm desperate to remove these warts and I don't want to spend $$$$$s on a product that's gonna hurt and may not even work. The reviews about Oxyfend seem to be very good and encouraging. Any feedback would be great! Thanks.

THIS IS MY FIRST OUTBREAK. I KNEW I HAD HPV INFECTIONS IN THE PAST BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS. I HAD 2 ONE A SMALL TAG AND THE OTHER A BIT LARGER I DID NOT KNOW THEY WERE THERE UNTIL ONE STARTED TO BLEED. AFTER READING SOME NOF THESE POST ACROSS SOME ONE WHO USED PHDOWN WELL IT WORKS BUT I HAD TO TEEK IT TO WORK FOR ME MY LARGE TAG FELL OFF AFTER DAY 2 APPLICATION AND IS GONE AND MY SMALL ONE IS ALMOST GONE. SO HERE IT IS SMALL BOTTLE OF PHDOWN QTIPS AND COTTON BALL TEA TREE OIL 100% PEROXIDE AND BORIC ACID 10% CREAM. CLEAN THE AREA FIRST DEPENDING ON HOW LARGE EITHER COTTON BALL OR QTIP SOAK PH DOWN APPLY TO AFFECTED AREA YOU WILL FEEL A BURN OR SLIGHT TINGLE LET IT SIT FOR 1/2 HR TO 45 MINUTES RINSE WITH WATER THEN DO A RINSE WITH PEROXIDE DRY AREA APPLY BORIC ACID CREAM AND TEA TREE OIL ( BORIC ACID CREAM AND TEA TREE OILS ARE ANTISEPTICS) AS WELL AS BORIC ACID CREAM IS A WEAK ACID SON IT WON'T DESRTROY THE SKIN IT WILL ALSO SLOWLY KILL THE WART. APPLY BORIC ACID CREAM AND TEA TREE OIL 2 TO THREE TIMES OR AS YOU USE THE RESTROOM. APPLY PH DOWN ONCE A DAY I SUGGEST DOING THIS BEFORE YOU GO TO BED. MY LARGE TAG PULLED OFF NO PAIN NO BLOOD CONTINUE PROCESS UNTIL COMPLETELY GONE. I STILL HAVE A SMALL TAG WHICH IS ALMOST GONE BUT THIS WORKS.

Iv recently noticed genital warts on my vagina. I cant help but think, 'How could this happen to me??' Well of course you never think it'll happen to you. I am an attractive 21 year old woman and i have had my share of partners, but it still came as a shock. Anywho, I began researching for treatments and gosh theyre expensive! And then i came across this site. Everyone seems to claim ACV works wonders so I did a little grocery shopping and have ACV soaked in rolled up cotton pad down there right now as i type! Still not sure when to use the tree oil though.. Keeping my fingers crossed!

I went to the doctor to have them removed;he frozed them hurt like hell, and weeks later they came back out with avengance; so I was exploring and looking for answers right now like you are, and I found this forum, I tried the apple cider vinegar (bought it at the grocery store for 2 bucks) I used it the following way:

I treated them one at the time, they usually take 5-7 days to complete the process,I applied once in the A.M and once at night, I got the wart bandages ( they are round small regular bandages,nothing espetial) and applied 3 drops on them and covered them. Must admit once they star burning and good, just counter attack them by thinking they are making you better. They turn black and fall off!!! AWESOME!! Make sure you shave around the are before you put the bandage on, or it's your skin lol!! Thank you !!

I tried the ACV but could not stand the burning pain it causes so I tried a different remedy that has also good reviews, Tea Tree Oil. I place cotton soaked in TTO and tape it to the area with warts and leave it overnight. You'll start to see it turn white and peel after 2-4 days. Once it has peeled continue apply cotton with TTO this time with a few drops of vitamin E to continue burning any residue of the warts but in a gentler way since the peeled skin is very sensitive. I noticed that after each peel the warts are getting fewer and thinner. It takes longer though a week and a half before you see the warts disappear. Once the peeled skin reveals no more warts apply cotton soaked with vitamin e to help it heal and prevent scarring. Remember even if the skin appears almost smooth once the peeled skin is revealed, if you still feel that itching/burning feel that is unique to genital warts, redo the TTO+vitamin e just for an additional peel. TTO smells great too! Hope this helps...

I've dealt with this for a year and I found this site and it made me feel not so alone. Reading all these posts i've learned a lot and have utilized some of these strategies. What works for me, and I can't imagine won't work for most, is the dental floss idea. I've tried this three times and it's worked every time. Simply, I made a loop with dental floss, tied it around the base of the GW and made a double knot. The GW turned black, since it was cut off from blood and oxygen and died, and fell off after 3-5 days. The skin underneath was left totally intact and returned from red to normal within a few days after I applied Neosporin to the area. It's like it never occured and made feel a huge sigh of relief. I also applied some alcohol with a q-tip to the area while the GW was being choked in fear of it spreading. The first time this worked was about two weeks ago and there has been no spreading. I think is a cheap, slightly uncomfortable, solution to the problem. Wanted to put my input because I love this thread it's helped me a lot.

i am a 20 year old female. i got GW from an ex boyfriend. i have had it 6 months now. i was intensely stressed which caused it to spread more. i had them on my butt, my perineum (the fold of skin between the vagina and anus), and close to the opening of my vagina. i had one on my labia. easy home remedy i tried 3 days ago. you will need a plastic bag, 2 cloves of garlic, a pair of scissors, vitamin E oil capsules 1000 iu, sudocrem. step 1: cut the plastic bag into eight or 6 pieces with the scissors. step 3: place a peeled clove into a square or the plastic bag and wrap. step 4: put the wrapped clove in your mouth and chew, like it was food. (if u chew without the bag it would burn your mouth). step 4: open the plastic and make sure the clove is finely crushed, cut a hole in the vitamin E capsule and apply to the warts, then apply the crushed garlic. yes this will sting but it will wear off after 1-2 minutes. APPLY this to the warts twice a day for 2 Days. on the third day, after bathing apply Sudocrem. This will help the healing process. DO NOT APPLY FOR 3 DAYS STRAIGHT, YOU WILL END UP WITH SORES/BURNS.(i learned first hand) after a day the warts will turn black and start peeling off. and new skin will show probably pink/red, just apply sudocrem every day and it will speed up the healing process.

some people also recommended thinking happy thoughts all th time like 'i have clear skin' and it will take your mind off it. ease the stress, it worked for me. i read online that hypnotizing the mind into thinking you dont have warts will make them fall of. i viewed this healing video on YouTube, it helped calm me alot. maybe you can try it.

ps: washing with salt/ sea salt helps alot too
best of luck.

GONE in 24 hours!!!!!!!
I used ACV(apple cider vinager) as most have posted!
I am a registered nurse and have been HPV positive for about a year and a half. Ive had a lot of stress recently and broke out with GW for the first time, noticing them about a week ago. I had 3 large ones and 10-15 small ones all on my labia majora. I researched home remedies for a few days before Starting anything.
Here is how I treated mine:
I took a shower using antibacterial soap then cleansed with hydrogen peroxide.
ACV treatment: I used panty liners, cut in half long ways and trimmed to the length of my vagina I soaked them in ACV and applied to inside of labia majora (larger vaginal lips) this prevents ACV from burning clitoris and labia minora (position so panty liner is not touching these parts) I used an additional panty liner sprayed and feminine deodorant attached to cotton panties (important to used cotton panties) to deal with any dripping ACV and the smell! I left this is place for 4 hours then removed and cleaned with soap and then hydrogen peroxide.
REST treatment: I then applied a mixture of neosporin and monistat to treated area and left alone for 4 hours.

Then repeated ACV treatment alternating with rest treatment 2 more times.
(Just for reference my warts turned stark white with 1st treatment and then progressed to a light brown/grey color at the end... They were never black although I assume they would turn back if they were left alone after this and not scrubbed off like I did)

After this I took a warm shower and used antibacterial soap on a wash cloth and scrubbed (not very hard) the vaginal area all warts came off.

I have cleansed with hydrogen peroxide and used a protective ointment (aloevesta) to help heal the area. I would suggest petroleum jelly mixed with aloe Vera gel if you can not find aloe vesta or equivalent (do not used lotion, neosporin would be ok)

I plan on doing one preventative 4 hour ACV (i will inspect my vagina after and note any 'white spots' which would indicate a wart, then I would
Implement above plan) and rest treatment once weekly as well as a half water half vinager douche.

This processed was pretty painful, but bearable and worth the expedient results!! Rest periods can be lengthened and AVC periods shortened if pain is not well tolerated!

I also plan on implementing a healthy diet and workout schedule to prevent reoccurance as well as adding a prenatal vitamin and garlic pill to my daily medicines!

Hope you have success with your treatments!!!

I had genital warts on the penis head - the glans. It started with 2 small bumps, and then suddenly there were lots and lots of them, all around the head and under the foreskin, some red, some looked like whiteheads.

I did some research, and I took a cup of pineapple juice put it on a chair, and sat behind it and soaked my penis inside it. I pulled the foreskin back and held it like that for 10 -15 minutes, The next day they were already starting to disappear... After 3 days, they were gone completely. I stopped treatment. After 2 days they came back.
So I started the treatment again. Now I have been doing it for a week, soaking once a day, every day for 10 minutes, and there is nothing there.

One other thing I will suggest, is to use some moisturising cream with aloe vera or vit e or cocoa butter... or baby oil to rub all over your penis after the bath - because the juice will dry the skin out.

And remember, don't drink that juice!

I use Aldara creme, it didn't work, and it hurt and cost quite a bit of money. My doctor used liquid nitrogen to freeze my warts and that is the only thing that worked for me. You have to be patient and the warts will fall off after a couple treatments every two weeks or so. Don't over do it, you want to keep your penis right? :) Also, you must get one or two extra treatments because if you don't it will come back. I stopped going to my doctor after tehy disappeared and they came back 6 months later. You should keep getting treatment even after they seem to have gone to kill off any remaining virus.

be patient, use nitrogen, it works. I will try freeze away if possible, but I have insurance so i'll use doctor for now.

Now , to lying liars and their lies that they tell:

El Nympho. You are such a liar! 14000 to remove 9 warts? what planet do you think we live on? Stop lying . People please don't use his/her remedy and please don't cut off the wart right after applying freeze away etc. you may infect yourself.

Hello fellow sufferers,

I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate any feedback.

So I've had the bumps for about 9 years now, every time I've gone to get an STD test I have always been told that they were not STD's, I've specifically asked doctors at STD testing centers if they were genital warts and I've always been told 'No'. Just a few months ago I was fed up and decided to go the a Urologist. He reassured me that they definitely were genital warts, and suggested that I have liquid nitrogen treatment on them.

I was relieved to finally have an answer, and it goes to show that you cannot always trust medical advice from STD doctors, and that you should seek specialists.

Anyways, back to the point of the treatment, so the urologist wanted to do the liquid nitrogen treatment but at $250 per session I decided to seek a home remedy.

I've tried creams from online in the past, and like others have said, they do nothing except burn your skin and cause pain... no differences is the warts.

I read on here that someone used a compressed air canister (the computer cleaning ones), and after shaking it you hold it upside down and position a q-tip at the nozzle, and then hold the q-tip on the wart for a few seconds. I haven't had the courage to spray the can directly on the wart as it would probably be quite painful, but that might also be good solution. I've been doing this method for about 2 weeks now and the warts seem to be getting smaller, though some have turned a dark red color so I reduced applications to once a week (I was doing daily at first, but I've read on GW research that you should have 1 week rest between freezes).

My question is, have others tried the generic compressed air method (not the kind specific to warts)? Are there different chemicals in the compressed air cans that shouldn't be used for this treatment (perhaps the reason I have redness), or is this normal for the regular wart-specific freeze methods?

I am definitely going to try the vitamin e oil as some have suggested, as well as vitamin c.

Also, I'm considering the apple cider vinegar(ACV) treatment (in moderation) along with the freeze method.

I'll post a follow-up as to which method I find to be most effective for mine, and I appreciate any tips or guidance as well.

I've posted a few times in the last two weeks. I was in agony with the ACV, tea tree oil & peroxide. It literally was like my whole coochie was burned and red with multiple sores all over all areas. I decided to take a break, it was killing me. So I just kept it clean, no washcloth in shower, just dawn dishsoap, and not rubbing up and down to spread it. Just put it on one spot, rinse, other rinse. Then I put on castor oil, cold pressed which I had bought for my face. I have to tell you praise God! Here I am about 5 days later with all healed but one on lip, and it's almost healed. I have a little itching, and going to pee all the time sucks, I have to reapply the castor oil with Q-tips. Remember, do not use one Q-tip on another spot, you can make it spread. So I use about 6 Q-tips, I've also started taking about 3,000 of Vitamin C powder I had bought a day, and 6,000mg of garlic softgels 2x a day, along with echinacea/goldenseal, and burdock, which is great for inflammation. I'm almost healed! YES after 3 months and no intimacy with my husband! I know God helped too, I know many don't believe, but he is the way, the truth and the life! My beloved Jesus helped me! I'm still tired now and again, but getting my energy back slowly. God bless ya'll, and I hope my story helps someone. Jesus died for us, it was all done on the cross, so we ARE healed in his name! I rebuke satan and refuse to give him a foothold in my life ever again! Ask people to pray for you, and I will pray for all suffering. Herbs and vitamins are God's healing foods he gave us to use for healing our bodies also! I've been into herbs and natural healing for years. So Jesus & good food! AMEN I pray you are all healed in his name. :)

I'm 21 female and just a couple hours ago was told I have HPV Genital Warts...;( totally devasted about the whole ordeal.
I went in for the std check up because a couple days ago after having sex with my bf , I felt around my anal area and felt these weird bumps.
I'm a googler and also a over thinker I started assuming what I could be.
thought back on a couple months ago when my bf and I were having relation ship troubles..I started going out alot drinking and smoking more than usual and with guy friend..had to many drinks also feeling like shit because my nd was showing no interest in me and being just a complete ass. This guy sweet talked my ear and as your guessing, yes I slept with him.
one time thing but that has now caught up with me because I'm now caught trying to get rid of this grotesque thing. but as I was saying before I rambled on I googled images on genital warts just assuming that's what it was..mine aren't bad as the pictures showed. but I still had no doubt that I was right. so this morning I called my mom and had her come over so I could let all this out. I'm very thankful she understood and was there for me. She went with me to the local clinic and I was told they were indeed genital warts.
I could not stop crying and thinking about how to tell my partner.
luckily he didn't take it as I thought. I told him he needs to go get tested too since we obviously had sexual contact and he could be infected.
I've been reading alot about acv,tree oil, the vitamins for the immune system..I have felt very weak and fatigue lately with no appetite so I know my body is weak. I'm hoping I can get through this I'm feeling so depressed. reading your posts have made me feel better knowing yours went away.
wish me luck guys will keep posted
hoping it don't burn to bad since mine are very close to anus. fingers crossed will keep updated

HPV warts were really affecting my life. My self-esteem was terrible and Aldara seemed to destroy everything BUT the warts. I recently took several road trips and took a couple of 5 hour energy drinks to keep me alert. When at my destination, still using Aldara, I noticed the warts receding. I figured the Aldara was kicking in because I wasn't stressed out and my immune system was functioning better, but a week later the warts came back. I was devastated as I have struggled with them for quite some time. I took another road trip a few weeks later, again taking some 5 hour energies, and, once more, the warts started to disappear. Out of curiosity, I discontinued the Aldara and started taking a 5 hour energy every other day and now I have no warts whatsoever! The high levels of folic acid and B-vitamins helped my body fight off those nasty buggers, even the really deep ones. If I see any start to reappear I go grab some 5 hour energies and take one per day for two days and then one every other day, alongside making sure I include folic acid-rich foods in my diet. WARNING: make sure to drink plenty of water if you are going to try this method as the high levels of B Vitamins in the drink need to be flushed out of your system otherwise it could be detrimental for you.

I have only read a couple pages of posts here, so I'm not sure if someone else has mentioned this already.

Use Bananas - Should be available just about anywhere in the world for those of you finding it hard to come by ACV.

Cut a piece of the peel of the banana to whatever size you need to cover the affected area. Place it over the warts with the fleshy side towards the skin. (Yellow side up) I have best results when taping it on for the whole night while sleeping. Painless and the surrounding skin is unaffected. Should be gone in a week or two at the most.

Another one that is supposed to work will is fresh-scraped turmeric root. I haven't personally tried it, nor do I know where to get it, but I heard from others that it works as fast and painless as the banana peel. Maybe look at a local health food store if you have one.

Good Luck

After reading this website I tried acv (which didn't help me, I think it only spread the warts) & started taking a variety of different vitamins :: vitamin A,B12,C,D,E,fenugreek, & a daily vitamin. I thought that taking all of these great vitamins would help and I am sure they are but not as fast as I would like so I read a few different suggestions about making a vitamin c paste and instead of making the paste I bought a vitamin capsule that had both C & E in it and cut capsule open and put the oil on the warts. And continued to apply it about every 2-3 hours. I have been doing this for 2 days now. This morning I applied the vitamin C&E oil from the capsule again and it burned so I washed it off and applied only vitamin E oil and have been applying it about every 2 hours and it worked!!!!!! :) After putting on vitamin E oil about an hour ago 1 of the 3 warts I could see came off. I will keep anyone who reads this posted on my progress I hope this helps anyone who is desperate and looking for help I tried so many different suggestions and this one seems to be working for me hopefully it will work for you too.

Found one of these nasty warts on my penis/member(more like a country club ha ha) back in August. Started researching... Apple Cider Vinegar tried it. It turned black fell off. It came back. Damn. ACV again. turned white then black. Still after it fell off there was a flat like skin tag there. I then tried new skin. Still we (my wart and I co existed)... Finally I had had enough. Too proud to go to a dr. I bought a Freeze away kit. Froze the sucker with the supplied unaltered tips. Swelled up around the outside. I got nervous that I damaged myself. Waited a week nothing. Bought terrasil. For 2 days or so I used it. Nothing. Angry after 6 month of this ugly thing I trimmed down one of the freeze away applicators almost to a point that would cover just the wart. I went at it and froze it for 10 seconds, then cooled the applicator again and froze it more for 5-10 more second. It did look scary and I though I might have damaged it again. In a couple of days it turned reddish brown and came off.
Now there is no bump there like there was after the first time I used ACV 6 months ago. Only slightly pink and fading... I am 98% confident I go the sucker.

Now was it the terrasil and freezing or just the freezing. No idea. This I will tell you I am glad I got rid of it. The package for freeze away says not to use on genital warts. I did. I was not too concerned about scarring because I am married and received the wart gift from my wife who had HPV when we married. She had only 2 other partners. So look out it can happen.
I have also change my diet to include vitamins wheat grass and tried to stay positive. I may have been HPV for a long time. They can decided to crop up when you go through hormone change or depression... I wonder if anyone is working on a cure for HPV?

I never post anything on forums but i believe everyone needs to know about this method!! Okay, so two months ago I noticed a small bump on my genital area. I really freaked out and immediately went to the internet to research remedies for warts. I tried over the counter acid, vitamin e oil, tea tree oil, dr scholls freezing kit and nothing was working on it! Finally I decided to try the duct tape method. IT REALLY WORKS! I kept the duct tape on for about a week removing it and checking up as needed and applying a new piece if it came loose. Well, tonight I peeled it off and the wart was all white, looks like it had been suffocated, and i started picking it off so easily, just like regular dead skin. After I was done, there is a small red spot but I reapplyed the tape, the area is almost as smooth as it was before the wart appeared! A must try!

I just want to say this really does work all I did was use ACV

1) I soaked a cotton ball in acv
2) I rubbed it against the wart for about 5 mins until it came off... (time depends on the size of the wart)
3) I put a little piece of a new cotton ball soaked in acv on the affected area with a bandaid on top over night just in case..

Now I'm completely wart free (:

Yes its a little painful but I got my confidence back & remember take vitamin c to help fight the virus back also use protection :)

I'm 20, male, and been dealing with GWs for almost 2 years now. Caught it from a nasty ass ex girlfriend. At first it wasn't that bad, and was able to get rid of the few I had by ripping them off and sterilizing with hydrogen poroxide. Worked for awhile, but they warts started coming back. Over a span of a year its gotten worse and better. Long story short, I've got the load of them on my Dick now and god bless my girl for not dumping my stupid ass. I've been reading posts on this site for a week now, and I've seen the load of avc posts. So I bought some of that, needles, sterile pads, also hit up he vitamin shop and bought garlic pills, gse pills, and zinc pills. My plan is to heat up a needle and burn the big ones off, and use the avc on the smaller ones. Nothing new, but the kicker is, my grandma is old school Filipino, and she's got a couple more things to help me out. Bitter melon extract. I've been drinking the juice of the crushed leaves since I was a kid, and it was just proven in the medical field to have potent health qualities to it. 2nd, guava leaf extract. The first time I went to the doctor for the gws, I got a freeze treatment, and a prescription cream called zycerix. Or something like that. It worked for a bit, bit that shit burned my skin and caused open sores to spread. It was the guava leaf extract that help it heal. Swab with a cotton ball 3 times a day for about a week and the open sores were gone. The gws that were there before never came back. Gonna start home treatment tonight and will post results and more info in a couple days. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to comment. Heerd some shit about people using diluted bleach water. If anyone knows anything about that.

Hi, please, Please, PLEASE read this before you do anything. Do not put ACV anywhere on your genital area. It may work, but you are playing Russian Roulette. (I played and lost). I just got back from my doctor and I have chemical burns with permanent damage. My doctor said it was stupid and was like using a nuclear bomb to kill a mosquito. Please let your immune system fight it. Do everything you can to strengthen your immune system (reduce stress/overwhelm, get sleep, relax, take vitamins A,C,D,E, garlic pills, echinacea, lysine). Go see your doctor. If he wants to freeze it or burn it off, say no. We hate warts and we hate them down there and are eager to get rid of them ASAP. But don't be greedy, be patient. Or you will be very, very sorry, and will feel stupid for practicing medicine with stuff you read on the internet. ACV might be fine for warts on your hands, but please know that the only way to truly get rid of warts is to have your immune system fight them. Keeping them moist with oil or antibiotic ointment can increase circulation which helps your immune system fight them. Once your immune system wins, they will fall off. I tried to do it myself b/c I thought I would have a scar if I went to the doctor and he froze/burned it off. Now I have an enormous scar, and sense of major regret.

For tough ones you've been trying to get rid of for a few years. Wash area with dial in morning, towel dry, then immediately apply Dr. Scholl's wart remover liquid in the tiny bottle, then.... At night pinch cotton the size of wart and soak in ACV. Place over wart and smother with a heavy duty tape. After a few days, mine washed off in the shower.

I've been suffering from genital warts for a few months now, and due to the stress of having them they multiply and grow which only stresses you out more. its a horrible cycle that I thought would never end. I had a doctor attempt to freeze them off but it was extremely painful and cost more than I was hoping to spend. also it took more than one treatment to complete and each session cost me money and down time. I couldn't do anything because I was hurting so badly from the treatment. I found out about Apple Cider Vinegar treatments and decided to give it a shot. it is working so well so far. I'm so releaved that the warts are slowly going away. its like a huge weight being lifted from me. I've been taking vitimans to boost my immune system as well, because my immune system is very poor and I'm constantly sick and being put on meds. vitiman D and E, C and lots of garlic are the ones I pop daily at least 2 times a day on a full stomach. exercise is good too. anything you can do to keep your body healthy. I really hope this helps others struggling with the same problem, because I thought (being the melodramatic girl that I am) my life was over. being so young and having to live with this the rest of my life is tough but at least now I know how to work through it. I wish the best for you all. good luck. :)

Dear anyone affected by HPV,

I'll just start this off by saying I found a 100% effective treatment to the genital wart that I had.

I had it for about 2 years. I tried the acid treatment, vinegar... among other things. What ended up working is Grapefruit Seed Extract. I applied it topically as well as took the recommended amount internally. It definitely boosted my immune system and helped greatly. Though it is recommended to not apply it full strength topically, that is was I did and what worked for me. I've taken GSE for a few years before any way though so I'm comfortable enough to make that call for myself. It is just very concentrated and strong.

I applied to everyday for about 4 days. I carried it in my purse and would use it right after using the bathroom so it was always being freshly applied. The wart started to turn white, minimize, shed layers of skin and then it just got really small and then went away completely. GSE doesn't hurt. It tickled and tingled slightly but that is all.

I am now completely virus free. I wanted to share this with everyone because I know how much it sucks to have a genital wart and to keep trying ineffective treatment methods.

GSE is a really great natural remedy for a lot of ailments. I recommend you read about it, if you don't already know, and keep a bottle handy. It's sold at most health food stores. I got mine at Whole Foods.
I really suggest you try it!!

Hey everyone,

So I have had Genital Warts for over 2 years. We always see post about people seeking treatments for them, but we hardly ever see people who are cured post what they did to get rid of them. Well I decided I would let everyone know what worked for me. Unfortunately, we all know what works good on one person for HPV doesn't always work as well for others, but it's always nice to know what worked for someone else so we can at least try it. I had tried several treatments before I got to the one that worked. I tried going to the doctor and doing the TCA applications, the freezing treatments, and a few others but they never really worked 100%. They would make the warts smaller but never go away 100%. So I started doing some research. A lot of people were talking about how your immune system needs to be boosted and to make sure you are eating healthy and getting all the vitamins and antioxidants that you need to get rid of genital warts.

So I started working out, eating healthy everyday while taking several supplements to boost my immune system and to give me as much antioxidants as I could. I then found some reviews on Wartamine. I read some good ones and some bad ones, but at this point I was so desperate to get rid of my warts that I ordered it just to see if it would work. In about two weeks I started to notice my warts getting smaller. To be honest, this really didn't excite me as previous treatments had done the same but the warts would always come back. But I kept using, and to my surprise about two weeks after that my warts were just about gone!!! At this point I was pretty excited as all the treatments I have ever used ever gave me results this good. After a total of about 6-7 weeks I no longer had any warts!!! I continued to eat healthy and take my supplements with the wartamine for the next two months. The warts were finally gone and I was so paranoid of them coming back that I stayed on the treatment for longer just in case. I have now been wart free for about 6 months and no longer use the supplements. I can't really say exactly what caused the warts to go away. I think it was a combination of everything together. So for those of you looking to get rid of genital warts, start eating healthy and exercising and try wartamine or some other similar product. I didn't think it would work for me, but it did. And I'd still have the warts to this day if I didn't take that chance.

You can find the products all over but the website I used was www.get-rid-of-genital-warts.com To me anyways, the site is convenient. It had everything I needed so i decided just to go with them. Whatever you decided I wish you all the best and hope you can get rid of your warts as well!

I've had several genital warts that cropped up a few years ago. Honestly, I haven't been dating much due to life circumstances so while I intermittently made attempts at getting rid of them, I haven't really been able to stick with anything. I don't know how long I had the virus before they showed up, because they are primarily near my anus and on my perineum (I'm female) and it had been 7+ years since I'd done anything involving that area (college...enough said). I've tried ACV and I found it uncomfortable, difficult to do well (especially with the peri-anal cluster of warts) and it didn't seem to make much difference.

Finally, after reading this, I decided on the following plan of attack. I bought a bottle of generic wart remover gel (equivalent to compound W), a box of NexCare bandages (Active Waterproof variety). Twice a day, I cleaned thoroughly (with baby wipes) and let it dry completely. Using a magnifying mirror to see what I was doing, I carefully applied the wart remover gel to each area. It burned for about 30 seconds. Once it dried, it turned white, so I made sure that the whole wart was covered. Then I put the bandage over the treated areas.

Once they were gone, I coated the previously affected area with aloe twice a day. This was based on a study done of patients with HPV who got both intra-vaginal interferon and aloe and took a B vitamin. Obviously I don't have access to interferon, but I figured I could do the aloe.

Through this whole time, I took a B complex supplement and 300 mg of Zantac twice a day. The zantac was based on the studies of Cimetidine in genital warts. Cimetidine is hard to find, so I asked a dermatologist friend if zantac was an acceptable substitute and he said that he often used it in patients with GW.

All of this took about a month to clear it. I got up about 20 minutes earlier every morning to make sure that I could fully take care of applying the gel properly. It was completely worth the time, though. Best of luck!

Ok guys,

I posted a while back but I am back with some new stuff to share with you.

I came across something that will work wonders for warts as long as they are not inside the vagina.

Food grade hydrogen peroxide.....35% food grade.

This stuff is cheap, you can order it online withought a perscription. I think that a combination of internal use as well as external use could solve many GW issues.

Heres the deal. Externally, heres what you do: scrape up the wart with a needle, dip a qtip in the food grade h202, dab it on.....you should see more or less instand results deending on how agressive you want to be, this will burn, but id rather take a burn than have a GW.

Secondly, this stuff can be used internally to kill of viruses and is a known long term remedy for herpes, being that herpes is a virus, I believe it could be highle effective on the HPV virus as the FG-h202 is known to boost the immune system and kill viruses. In fact, some people even use it as an alternative treatment to cancer the stuff is so legit.

YOu will need to do some research, you must dilute this stuff to drink it and I cant stress enough 1: DO NOT DRINK NORMAL HOME USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE......2:MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO DILUTE AND PROPERLY DOSE YOURSELF.

its like this, you need a dropper bottle because you just need drops of the stuff, you need to use about 5-8 ounces of water (or more when you get into the really high dosages). Basically, you will take this stuff 3 times a day, starting with 3 drops, 3 times a day. each day you add 1 drop until you reach a point where you are doing 25 drops 3 times a day, stay there for a week or so, then gradually step down from that.

Do some quick internet research, you need to do this 1 hour before you eat OR 3 hours after you eat and you dont really want any vitamin C in your stomach when you drink the stuff.

DO YOUR RESEARCH.

I am at a point where I am taking 10 drops 3x daily. so Im not there yet, but I can attest to what it will do externally....it will burn a wart off your body and cause an immune response which will help your body kill the hpv in that area.

Now, for areas that are slow healing, the foreskin of the penis for example, I would stick to ACV, the h202 is just too caustic and will h urt you.

in addition to this keep pounding your:

-folic acid
-co q10
-garlic
-vit C,E,A,D
-olive leaf extract
-elderberry extract

I also highly recomend drinking braggs brand ACV 2x daily 1-2 tbsp per as much water as you need. THis is known to be a natural anti viral as well as an amazing source of potassium which is know to fight warts of all sorts.

Done right, I think its possible to kick GW for good, I plan to do it.

If you have any questions, just want to chat, need somebody to talk to, I am here. I set up an email account that is annonymous

amrunnerdude3@gmail.com

I am not selling anything, but like many here im sure, I would like sort of a support group. Feel free to email, lets kick this together. Best of luck to you all and god bless.

Like most others i tried the acv and as much as it sucks it also makes sense and works. just don't over do it, all you will end up doing is damaging unaffected healthy skin and spread the warts. try the acv soaked tp once a day for a couple hours or just at night. instead of keeping that on all the time, remove, wash the area and apply desitin to the area. this doesn't damage your skin (its for diaper rashes), it soothes any discomfort from the acv and seals out moisture and air from getting to the warts. my doctor recommended this after i 'over did it' with acv. i used the desitin alone and it took care of any problems. most importantly remember to keep your area clean, wear cotton underwear and wash your hands! i have never seen desitin on any of these websites but its the Shit. for real.

Hi people

After months of battling against at least 30 genital warts, using all the methods listed (with no complete success) i've finally found a solution that is amazing which i havent seen anywhere else!

Firstly, good health is the key. my outbreak began after months of taking MCAT and living a bad lifestyle. stupid i know but hey. If your immune system is low you've no chance of fighting them off.

Sort out your exercise, diet and get lots of good sleep. Cutting down on alchohol is important. Eat foods rich in zinc to help heal the skin and boost your immune system. Increase foods rich in sulfur: asparagus, eggs, citrus fruit, garlic, and onions. Take ECHINAEA. Maintaining this once rid of them, should prevent another outbreak.

I tried applying TTO every morning and night for a week. After spending about £30 no joy just an extremely raw scrotum and not much sleep! ACV exactly the same plus stinking like a chip shop all day. It requires alot of constant effort and time to maintain these methods and for me no real success.

I know these work for some people and im not doubting that, but if like me yours are persistent and need another method try this for instant results.

Buy some PH Down, should be no more than £5 available from loads of places on internet, some antiseptic cream and q tips

PH down is basically Phosphoric acid.The way phosphoric acid (or any acid e.g ACV) hurts you is by oxidizing the molecules in your skin. This happens constantly, even when acid isn't around. It just happens a LOT faster when it is.It is highly concentrated so be careful.

Using a Q tip apply a very small amount to the wart being careful not to get any on healthy skin. after a minute or so you will feel a tingleitch. The pain doesnt really go beyond this. wait half an hour or so and the wart will turn white and should blister slightly. this is good. Wait until the tingling stops(about an hour-i sat in the nuddy watching a film) then have a shower to wash off. Apply antiseptic cream and go to sleep pain free. I suggest doing 1 at a time, mainly so you dont have loads of blisters increasing risk of infection. In the morning you'll have
a nice little red blister where the wart was. once this heals it should have disappeared! Worked for me. Just one application to each wart and they've all gone within a few days of my skin healing for no more than a tenner!

Good luck

Wow.. what would I did without the internet?

So my story goes like this.. the first girl I slept with 9 years ago had many partners before me (she was my girlfriend and I didnt find out about the partners til later). I had unprotected sex with her and I could tell almost instantly something was wrong. Went to a clinic they told me I had gnu.. gave me medicene and I thought everything was gonna be ok.. but as years went by I could tell something was wrong down there and couldn't tell what.. doctors thought I was crazy.

Fast foward to 2 years ago.. I'm married and we have a son. When my wife was pregnant we went for her check up and the gyno told her she had hpv.. we were floored.. turns out she had one single GW.. we didn't know what to think.. cause I know I didn't cheat and she swore up and down she didn't cheat.. then it all came clear when we found out the ex had hpv... greaaaaaat.

Well I didn't notice any symptoms except for that odd feeling I always have down there which I came to live with.. until a few days ago.. it mustve laid dormant for all those years and I had 2 clusters of warts pop up. Depression sunk in and I started searching frantically for something to fix it. Almost went to a clinic but they were closed the day I called.

I finally found this website and I can't thank you people enough. I took the ACV (apple cider vinegar) method and so far these are my results:

Day 1: soaked cotton balls and used band aids to keep them on for about 2-3 hours. No burning at all. Took off the band aids and the warts were white, puffy, and seemed to spread! I thought I messed up. But after further reading the ACV brings unseen GW to the surface so it can kill it.

Day 2: did the samething for 4-5 hours. Still no burning. Forgot to mention I put a ziploc bag over my junk to keep it all contained. When I was done, I took a look. Still white and puffy.. started to doubt this method. Frustration set in.

Day 3: woke up and holy hell they're almost all GONE! Some have turned dark and they've all shrunk majorly in size. I'm gonna continue doing this til theyre gone and a little bit after so I can make sure they're gone for now!

I love you internet!

I have tried the Apple Cider Viniger remedy.. I have to say, be very careful where and how you place the cotton ball soaked with the viniger, if placed wrong you will get an acid burn.. IT IS 5% ACID !!. But on a good note, I got a fresh bottle and tried it at night, the next morning I took off my bandage, by that evening I saw black dots. AWESOME!! It worked I thought. Them black dots from the warts can stay for days depending on how old those warts are. I got rid of a few small ones in a day, some others a few days later. I have been doing the ACV treatment for a week now and only half are gone. You gotta remember that warts have roots, like a tree. The older it is, the deeper the roots. I started off with about 20 warts, now down to 15, 5 or 7 unfased by the viniger. I dont care about the pain, I gotta a girlfriend who needs attention, so I pick some of the black ones off and re-apply the viniger to it.. Sometimes 2 days and they are gone. But not to tell you that I am all fixed, Im not done trying to kill them all. If you done your research, you may know that this issue may spread to your ass. I dont want to have it get that far, so I am not done treating the whole area. I just want you to know my own personal experiance.

I was just told last week that I have GW by a doc. Aldera seemed to not work. This stuff was very expensive! $81 after insurance! I got very depressed for a few days. And I though my Fiance would freak out and bail on me. But she is very understanding and all is fine. For anyone reading this DON'T GET DEPRESSED. Freaking out will only make things worse. It's not so bad. They are just warts.
I am really fed up with doctors and all the money I have spent with no results so I started looking for an alternative before I see a doctor again. I have very small warts and some are sort of clustered. I tried the compound w for some really small warts. They are very small and I wasn't very careful when I applied the liquid and I just pasted it around the general area. After I took a bath the compound w came off and my skin looks a dark purple. The warts do look smaller and blackish but now my penis looks way worse. Hopefully it will heal back to a normal color soon. I don't recommend compound w. I also tried the freeze method. It seems to have helped also but and again because they are so small it got on too much of the area. But both of those methods are very painful and I almost passed out with the freezing. I am a little worried about scaring now. I decided to try John's burning method that he submitted on here on some of the very small ones that I seemed to have missed. It was not nearly as bad and I was able to only get the wart and not a large patch of skin.
I think at this point I need to back off and let the areas heal. I have done too much too fast. Not a good idea. For now I am alternating tea tree oil and apple cider vinegar and waiting for everything to heal. Hopefully all will be fine soon. I will post results in a few days.

Hi guys.. happy to see sooo many people beating warts with ac=v.. I've had a wart for years and in beginning I showed it to a doc and he said it was nothing. i was in denial and let it be. now years later i showed it to another doc and he confirmed wart. he did cryo freeze on it once a week for 6 weeks and it was gone. then small warts appeared a week later on my shaft. i showed it to another doc and he prescribed aldara. i read horrible reviews about it but still gave it a shot. it didnt do anything at all. so i looked for remedies and here i am. with acv the warts just exploded and now they cover my whole shaft. im on day 2 of treatment. first two days i had it on for a few hours in evening and at night i use tea tree oil. but i will change it to acv all night and tea tree in evening. maybe my warts are more resilient and might take time because they have not changed color but just increased tremendously in numbers. at least they are all out i guess. i dont have NO burning sensation just a tingling feeling. maybe my skin is strong and acid not affecting it ?? i will appreciate any advice.

hi every one, i am a girl that discovered i had GW roughly 2 months ago an as all of you i was frantic and panicking and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. unfortunately i had no idea what they were and i told my mom, who took me to the doctor. he diagnosed it as GW. then they told my dad who had 'the talk' with me. any ways i tried almost everything there was including ACV. that pain was THE worst experience ever. if u have a strong soul, i recommend it. but its not for me even if it does work. I Used A Simple Pain Free Method. my ingredients cost me a fortune but thats cause im from a third world country, it should be cheaper for you. so here goes. YOU WILL NEED: tea tree oil, almond oil(or any anti-viral oil), winter green oil,castor oil, dr. scholl's salicylic acid wart remover and nail polish.

STEP ONE: mix 1 tsp winter green oil, 2 tbsp castor oil and 1/2 tsp tea tree oil together. make sure and cover all warts with this mixture three times a day for 3 days. all warts would turn white. then:

STEP TWO: using almond oil, cover all warts, you would feel a slight sting but it would wear off after a minute. keep doing this for the next 3 days. (the amount of times dont matter)

STEP THREE: use tea tree oil alone, cover all warts , you would feel a mild cooling sensation. this soothes the skin. i used this for a day but you can do it for more days if u want.

STEP FOUR: cover the white warts with the dr. scholls wart remover. it should not really hurt, but if it does dont worry, its just the body realising something is wrong at that area of your body. you dont have to worry about it touching the healthy skin cause it would not damage it. let the liquid dry. the warts would start feeling stiff and hard. i did this for one day. (if your warts dont feel like this continue until it does)

STEP FIVE: cover the warts that should still be covered with dr, scholl's with nail polish. the color dont matter, just paint them all. and let air dry, or blow dry. (i blow dried it) leave on for as long as you dont get them wet.

STEP SIX: bathe with warm-hot water and soak the warts. then gently rub so that the polish would start peeling off. just hold the peeled edges and rip of, it did not hurt for me. the warts were already dead.

i hope this works for you, its fast and easy. <3 <3 <3 MUCH LOVE <3 <3 <3 Don't Forget To Pray!!!!

This post’s another thumbs up for the apple cider vinegar.

My story, it had been about a year and a half between me and my boyfriend’s last sexual partner, he got an std test before we started sleeping together, he showed no symptoms, still doesn’t, I was a virgin, and we always used protection. Still after about 8 months I discovered rough little bumps on my lady parts. As the days went by I kept finding more, and at my boyfriend’s insistence I went and saw the doctor. He took one glance and, yup, confirmed they were genital warts. I was floored. I had been so careful my entire life to avoid this very thing! Shows that sometimes even when you take all the right precautions these things will still hit you.

So he got some liquid nitrogen and froze them. Did hardly anything, in fact they got worse, so I went back and he spent a good 20 minutes down there freezing the crap out of them. This time the warts halved in number...for a week, and then every single one came back, and brought friends. The doctor said the next thing to try was the cream Aldara, which was almost $100 a bottle/month, possible side effect laden, and no guarantee it would work. No getting your money back if this doesn’t work! Plus something in his tone made me think he was not exactly eager to put me on the stuff.

As a poor college student I told him I’d think about it, and went home and hit the internet. Since I’d had good luck with home remedies in the past (olive oil in the ear to break down an ear wax blockage for example) I thought I’d give one a shot. And the most popular remedy seemed to be apple cider vinegar. And to be honest I didn’t actually expect it to work, just wanted to try something either than begging God to take them away. Actually I guess he answered that prayer in the form of a condiment.

So I found some in the cupboard, soaked it into a cotton ball, and held it against my warts for about an hour and a half a day while watching a movie. And the other people here aren’t lying when they say it burns like a mother! And with each night as it eroded away a bit of the skin and broke down the warts enough to make them bleed, the pain level cranked up to excruciating!
What happened was the first night it turned all my warts white, and I may as well say it turned my whole vagina white they were that bad. But by day 3 I noticed some of them had shrunk, and when I lightly scratched the smallest ones, which were still white 12 hours after treatment, they just came right off! By day 5 even the largest ones were gone. And here I am on day 6, I have maybe 2 teeny tiny ones left, when not a week ago I had probably 40. I’m going to keep up the treatment a bit longer to reduce the chances of the warts growing back, and I know they still might, but at this point I’ve had far more success with something you put on your fries than most people have with a half dozen trips to the doctor. Way cheaper too. Still I suggest seeing your doctor at least once, at least for a proper diagnosis.
Now I'm trying to eat better, take my vitamins, and do all I can for my body so it can hopefully either suppress or get rid of the hpv virus completely.

I am an 18 year old female and when I found out I had genital warts, I was devistated. And I didn't even know I had them until I went for my yearly checkup. I imediately called my boyfriend and he proceeds to break up with me and post a status on facebook telling all his friends that I gave him an std. (2 weeks later he called and told me his ex has them and she gave them to him and that he didn't know... Bullshit)
I tried everything. Mutivitamins, garlic pills, vitamin d and birth control. Nothing worked. Until I found ACV(apple cider vinegar). It was very painful but worth it. I applied it for a few hours every night and in 4 days, they were gone. I had a ton of tiny ones and only a few big ones. I also found a trick that makes it so it doesn't hurt so bad, mix it with water! It takes about a week to get rid of them but it's so worth it! If noth ok mg else is working for you, use the 1/3 water to 2/3 ACV. It hurts, but, no pain, no gain!

Soak small pieces of cotton (approx the size of the warts) in apple cider vinegar, and tape them directly on top of the warts. Do not lay the cotton on fully saturated, but do not ring it out all the way. The cotton should be more then damp but less than dripping. I used the cut off sides of a bandaid for tape to hold the cotton in place and then wrapped a layer of medical tape around the bandaid for extra support. I only did this before bed, during the day i just taped a bandaid (no vinegar)on to keep the area sanitary. After 3 nights of treatment the warts turned black and scab-like and a few days later, they fell off.

I discovered that I had genital warts while I was pregnant. They seem to come out when the immune system is weak. The cure for me was: I diluted a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar with some water and dipped a cotton pad into the solution. Then I put the cotton pad on the warts, and used a maxi pad on my underwear so it didn't leak. I re-did this every 4 hours, even at night. It'll sting at first, then the warts will eventually change size, change color and disappear. It took about a week to disappear. If it stings too much, you can add more water at first, then as you get used to it, add less water to the apple cider vinegar. Since then, I've never had a problem with warts coming back.

Hi guys,

Just found this forum today and hope to find a solution for my condition. I've just found out that I've got genital warts and anal warts...must've picked it up during my business trip to Anchorage.

I can't believe it! The only time I've slept with someone in 6 months and I get an STD!

What can I do? I'm too embarassed to go to the doctor and I don't want to use a treatment that's gonna burn...I'm in enough discomfort as it is.

I've been online and found a product called Oxyfend Zerowarts...has anyone tried it before? It uses ozone and green tea which are apparently great natural ingredients but I'd like to hear if anyone has heard of these ingredients.

Hope to get some advice from you guys soon.

Many thanks to this website, YES i like to confirm ACV works! this is what i did and had mine removed in one night over 4 hrs....

PLease note this is not an easy or painless method as it is a quick remedy

Step 1: Take ACV and soak on a cotton pad, than apply on affected area for 2 hrs.
Step 2: Take a twizzer and pluck out the wart bit by bit.

It is extremely painful and now i am into my second day after doing it, it is healing very nicely.

well, i have had genital warts for many years and the only way i have been able to get rid of them is by using a paste of oregano, chlorine, and icy/hot and a dash of red pepper. Seriously, they were gone the next day!! Remember, do not leave on for more than 2 minutes, warning it burns like heck, but it works! All my friends haven't seen a genital wart for over 8 months...

I am a 19 year old female and I was diagnosed with HPV about 6 months ago. I felt so ashamed and stupid. My doctor applied acid to the infected area but it didn't help much so I started googling remedies. Many sites mention vinegar and acidy foods like pineapples and tomatoes. Well, I figured I would try KETCHUP and it is a major success. It is a combination of tomatoes and the vinegar so it gives double the treatment. My warts have disappeared and so far haven't came back. Hope this helps!

I've had genital warts for about a year now, and I've tried the Apple Cidar Vinegar and it burnt my skin. Could not handle the stinging or anything and it actually ate away at my skin and made it raw.

I went to my local Walgreens store and bought Freeze Away by Dr. Scholls. Its to freeze warts, but not suggested on the genital area cuz it COULD leave a scar. Well, as for most people I didnt want to deal with the embarrassment anymore and went ahead and bought it. It was about 12 bucks.

Went back home, froze the warts (making sure that the whole thing was frozen, plus the base of the wart) and chopped it off with the scissors.

Sounds painful, but it actually wasnt. It took me a long time to build up the nerve that I was going to cut myself down there, but I didn't want them anymore. It healed very quickly, have no scars and they havent grown back =] I just bled a little bit, but that stopped quickly also. Kind of nasty, but I didnt want to wait a cpl days to a cpl weeks, I wanted them gone NOW.

And now I'm just making sure i keep up on my vitamin C to help my immune system fight the HPV and my other vitamins so the warts don't return.

Dear all, I have had the issue of genital warts for a year now. I have tried the ACV treatment but my skin was very sensitive and I couldn't use it continuously. Lately I was preparing my master thesis and had really long night and had to boost my energy by energy drinks. I used RED BULL for two nights in a row and after some 3 days some of my warts disappeared and some of them reduced to a notable size. I did not realize what was going on until I recalled an article about energy drinks effects on warts. I now drink a Red bull every 3 or 4 days since I don't think if drinking too much would have greater effects. I am so pleased to have determined its effect and I hope my post can help other people as well

Hi all. Im a 33y/o male who rarely used protection during my teens and early 20s. I get tested regularly and in by my late 20's I changed my sexual behavior by using condoms and becoming monogamous. I have never had an STI and even though I found a wart on my shaft 2 weeks ago, I still feel pretty lucky to have maintained a relatively clean bill of health.
I used ACV on a wart a bit bigger than the tip of a ballpoint pin. Withing 2 days it was completely black and at this point I think it was scabbed over but I couldnt tell so I continued the ACV. I would soak a cotton ball in ACV and tape it to my shaft and wear it more or less all day. By the 3rd day the burning had increased and I could not bear even a few seconds. As it turns out, I over did it with the vinegar. On the fourth day the skin around the wart had turned black as well, scabbed over. I took a bath that night after 15 minutes or so all the black scab came off on its own. The skin beneath was very tender and pink and where the wart was there was a little white circle.
At first I thought this was still the wart but by morning it had turned into a scab. The scab lasted 3 more days and is now gone.
I think the next time I need to do this I will use a moleskin patch to place around the wart thus protecting the noninfected issue and then apply the ACV.
I also purchased a tube of OxyFend just to have in the future. I am not sure about this product as it is totally new and take 3 weeks to ship if you order it from the US.
If I have another outbreak I will post the results with the oxyfend if no one has at that point. Most of the OxyFend posts sound like sales reps IMO

After reading several people's blogs about using ACV on genital warts, I decided to try it. I soaked a cotton ball and stuck it on the nasty growths. I wore a panty liner to keep it from getting everywhere. I kept it on for an hour. It stings a little, but its more uncomfortable than painful. MUCH TO MY AMAZEMENT, my warts peeled right off! You have no idea how thrilled I am bc I'm 7 mos pregnant and DO NOT want a c-section. Thanks so much to all of you who recommended it! I know some people said theirs took a few days, but mine only took an hour! This stuff is amazing :)

I've had genital warts for 5 years and I'm pretty sure I've beaten it cause it's been over 1 year since my last outbreak and usually I was getting an outbreak every 3 months or so.
4 things (other than patience) that I believe contributed to beating genital warts.
1. Green Tea (Decaf) - 3-4 cups a week
2. Grepefruit or GSE - Eating a Grapefruit about 3-4 times a week. I recently bought GSE on Amazon and I hear it works in curing a lot of ailments but I just started taking it.
3. Work out - Sticking to at least 2-3 times a week - 30 minutes of yoga, running, lifting a day
4. N-Acetyl Cysteine - 2-3 times a day. This Amino Acid may have been most important. I bought mine from NutraBio because it's just pure NAC but you can get it anywhere.
Don't stop believing!

Have been trying the ACV remedy for a while but with not too much success. To be honest I don't think I've been doing it long enough and in the right intervals. The pain is great but the smell is what really gets to me.
However I have found a solution to the smell. I use soaked cotton balls and band-aids. then I make sure to cover those with gentle medical tape. Then I load my underwear with baby powder to cover the smell.

I'm going to continue this remedy till I can't take the pain anymore.

So far I'm on day 4, twice a day morning for 3hrs and evening for 3hrs. I can't sleep through it.

Hi,
About a couple of month, I had a bump near my anus, I thought it was an pile, so I put some creams but it was still hurting after a week and I felt another small one.
I decided to put some garlic on hit and it hearts a lot and the bumps multiplied
I started to look on the mirror and I saw a couple of white spot.
After a check at the clinic for a std check, the gp told me it was a hpv with some genital warts. Not great news, but I decide to go for the 1st option proposed: to freeze them.

Day 1:
the freeze + salted bath, it hurts a bit but not much. I did not notice really any improvement inb the number of warts or their size but it has decreased in the pain

Day 2-3:
Salted bath, still no improvement, I think it went worse a little bit.
I think the salted water was not enough and it is important to clean it on daily basis with some tea tree oil to avoid any spreads which I did not at the beginning

Day 4:
Another session, not really any improvement, so I decided to to for the Apple cider vinegar on some cotton fixed with some medical tape for 1 hours in the afternoon, then another session before to go to bed for 3 hours, it hurts a lot, I think I put too much acv, you should not sunk the cotton totally.
I was watching in the mirror and it was all white and with a lot more of spots, I think the acv is attacking all the area with roots even if it is not visible, so you might see more spots. I think it is normal, I think as well you need to clean it before to apply the acv to avoid any spread of the warts at the warts are more moisturised, I think it can increase the risk of spread.

Day 5:
in the morning some disappeared.
I decided to use as well some banana peel on it every 4 hours and in the night I attached some banana peel on it for all the night, as the ACV was too painful.
I had a look at it in the middle of the night and all the warts were white again, which is a good sign.

Day 6:
in the morning, a lot of warts were gone. Went to buy some tea tree oil to clean it. before and after the banana peel.
I decide to put a garlic glove in my anus in the night to attack the virus inside my body plus some more banana peel.
I was also trying to eat more potassium (banana, avocardo, lot of veggie, garlic crushed in the morning and at night) and as well some supplements fish oil, plus aloe vera

Day 7: (today)
almost everything is gone, I still feel a little wart just at the edge of the anus. Still some banana peel, and tea tree oil before and after each session.

Day 8: I m planning to do it again (everything done on day &)

Day 9:
I will go to the clinic to have a chack and maybe a freeze session.

I think the ACP is very good at the beginning as it is weakening the all the warts, and then you can apply tea tree oil and banana peel to attack them more gently.

Also putting a garlic glove for 2 nights might help, crush them a little bit to produce more acillin.

The tea tree oil is very important as it cleans and avoid any risk of spreading them. Tea tree oil to clean before each session (humidify the cotton with some water and put 4 drop of oil)

I think the combination works for me at the moment:
- ACV at the beginning
- Tea tree oil before each session as well in the morning after the shower.
- Banana peel rubbed on it every 3 4 hours plus taped for all the night
- garlic glove for a couple of nights

Food:
Eating banana, garlic glove, aloe vera pill, in the morning and before to go to bed
Eating a lot of veggie, avoid alcohol , sugar and meat.

Sleep and do some exercised

I will give an update after going to the GP, I think it is important to continue with the tea tree oil and the banana for a week after the symptoms are done to clean everything and I will continue the diet and try to avoid sugar, red meat and alcohol.

Good luck

I've recently discovered I have had/developed HPV. I had a thick-ish discharge, then itching (consistent with yeast issues)- then the warts appeared. 3 of them. I was concerned about herpes(negative)so went to the doc. I declined freezing as my man had just gotten it done and he regaled me with tales of pain. when i was worried i had herpes, i read that 85% of herpes sufferers respond to licorice root extract. its not very expensive and it was magic for me. for the next 3 nights following I boiled chickweed (LOVES skin) and made a tea, added 1/3 apple cider vinegar and rinsed myself thoroughly with it in the shower, dried off and applied licorice root extract. it worked for my hpv warts, is relatively inexpensive and is natural. you can find chickweed and licorice root extract in most health/holistic stores, and you should give serious consideration to trying this method out. 3 days and they were ALL gone. good luck to you, and stay healthy!

Here's what I did...
I tried the ACV treatment... didn't work... I tried garlic & vit E together... it broke it down and would just 'grow' back... even tried tea tree oil... that didn't do anything but burn... So I got up the nerve to buy a freeze away kit. After a couple of applications (that's all you get with that kit) it was shrinking... was costly though: $30.00! for that kit. But it was working! So, I decided to create my own cryo kit: An aerosol keyboard duster, dollar store cotton swabs ('cutips'). ($10.00 total) The cheaper brands have a straw rather than a stick between the two cotton swabs. Anyway, all you have to do is cut one of the cotton swabs off, and stick that end into the hole of your aerosol can, shake, turn upside down and ZAP. Within just a couple of days you will notice the shrink... and in a couple of weeks... GONE! You'll need more than one application though. I did the cryo every couple of days for about 2 maybe 3 weeks max! (i don't remember it was more than a year ago) So don't waste time and money: 1. aerosol keyboard cleaner: 8.00 2. dollar store cotton swabs: 1.00 and perhaps antibacterial cream: 8.00... getting rid of your warts... priceless!

I was diagnosed with HPV about a month ago. I couldnt afford the high priced prescription. So I began searching the web. I read a lot about ACV. I had tried Oxy-fend. It didnt work for me. I tried castor oil. Didnt work. I then knew I had one stubborn little BAS@#$D!!! About the size of an apple seed. Looked more like a flat skin tag. Well I tried ACV. It burned but not as bad as most explaining. ACV did cause it to peel some ond broke it down, BUT.......It freaking spread!! I then had one on the opposite side! And a few little ones!!! This really pissed me off and I cried!! From one to maybe ten!! I was very careful and used guaze. I even covered the oposite side so it wouldnt get touched but it still spread. I also had what I think is scarring??? Looked like flat, elongated blisters??? Plus places where my skin was abraised. And small amount of bleeding. I COULD HAVE CARED LESS ABOUT THE BLEEDIDNG!! But if someone here know what scarring looks like and if this is scarring or another form of warts...PLEASE let me know!! So I started doing more researching. I read about Vitamin C. I crushed a 500mg Vitamin C tab and added just enough water to make a paste. Got in the bed, spread em! And spread it on with a butter knife as if I was icing a cake. I had a mirror propped so that I could see 'down there.' About a minute.....GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!!!!! It feltas though I sat my 'stuff' on FIRE!!!!!!! But I bared it. I had the ceiling fan on plus something to fan with. This really helped a lot! As it dried, the stinging eased up. It will soon dry like paint. When it dried I layed a 2x2 guaze on it and used medical tape and taped it down for the night. The next morning I was afraid to look. I pulled off the guaze and all I could see was white dried paste. (I really slapped it on thick!!) Got in the shower. It burned to wash there but not near as bad as the paste itself. I dried off and the swelling was gone. What was left of the warts from the ACV had a little bloody spot. The main one I can tell where it was but was much smaller. I didnt apply anything else at the moment. But here is the magic.....About 2 to 3 hours later, I went to use the bathroom. When I looked to check, my 'stuff' looked so normal!! No swelling. It looked as if I scracted a few places. Even some of the so-called scarring had disappeared. I didnt feel the 'lump' from the new one that was coming up. Because I was so 'abraised' down there, I didnt aplly it last night. Just went back to some of the cream and castor oil I had been using to kind of give my skin a chance to recover before I slap it back on tonight. Also I notice a few in the 'pink' part of my 'stuff.' I placed a half vitamin C tab up my vagina as far as I could push it. Make sure you put on a pad for this. My warts inside looked better also but didnt insert it last night. Will do it again tonight. Also, I am experiencing itching from the main two. Is that a sign of healing??? I will keep you all posted on what I find in the morn. I hope this help you all. Thanx!

I grew warts when I was 15 (I'm 22 now) and since then I've had 10 std tests and 5 pap smears and not once has hpv shown up in the tests. I know they are warts because a) I didn't have them before b) I remember they itched when I first got them and c) they spread when I applied acv incorrectly :( 3 months ago.I did visit public clinics due to my lack of insurance but the fact that no doctor ever told me what I had puzzles me. Maybe since a lot of people have it they were lazy and didnt want to offer treatment? It still angers me because I could've treated them sooner, I started my treatment back in November (its the end of feb now) and I'm just seeing results.

Like many of you, when I first began I only used acv. They shrank at first but then they would just swell up, go back to being pink and never turn white or black. Oh, and they spread :(.. I then started using castor oil and it helped but when I would apply tea tree oil my warts would swell up and return to their original color (I was so desperate I rotated all treatments I read of!) garlic pill oil, real garlic, banana peels, you name it. I tried it and nothing happened. I even tied them with dental floss (which is extremely hard) some never came back but some grew under. It still helped because I had them for 6 years without treatment and it weakened them, the floss was the ONLY treatment that turned them black but tying them was tidius and the bleeding felt like they were spreading.

Three days ago I started doing an hour of a cotton ball with avc then another hour of a cotton ball with tea tree oil and then vitamin e oil, twice a day. For the first time they're white and peeling off instead of swelling up! 3 months without sex, I know it's driving my bf crazy but he's so supportive, Im so close to getting rid of these fuckers. Don't give up ladies, I swear but the end of the 2nd month I almost did and I glad and kept it at!

Hi I am 31 years old. I found out that I have GW. I was completely floored. I had the laser surgery to remove them all at once. It was very painful! I was totally clueless. The so called doctor left a few on me. I found them and pointed it out to him. He said he did not see them, but I mean duh that's kind of the point of the surgery. Well they came back because of it. I treat them myself now and fewer appear now. I mix ACV and table salt together in a thin paste. I apply it 4 times a day. The ACV kills the warts and the salt acts like neosporin. It stings for a few minutes but with in five days the warts are gone. You can see the results for yourself. This is in expensive. I am unemployed and I get food assistance. These items can be purchased on foodstamps or low cash funds!! The cheaper the better these days.

I have tried acv and it didn't do much. Only caused burns on my skin and the diluted solution had no effect on the warts (they kept growing overnight). I read about genital hygiene and found out that you are not supposed to wash these areas with any kind of soap at all.

Washing the genital area with soap kills all the good bacteria, that keeps the area clean and healthy. In other words, the bacteria that keeps viruses and bad bacteria from doing any harm to your body. When you do this, the viruses and bad bacteria are free to infect and spread.

So, I stopped using any kind of soap on these areas and only rinsed with water. Itching is gone, and I feel better 'down there'.

My theory is, that when people find out about their warts, they cause more harm by trying to keep the area sterile, which you're not supposed to do at all.

I am a 22 year old female who got diagnosed with genital warts about 6 months ago. There was only 2 or 3 and they were pretty flat. My doctor prescribed Aldara and told me that would fix everything. SO WRONG! Not only did it not get rid of the warts, but they multiplied and got MUCH bigger. I came to this site and tried the apple cider vinegar remedy. It worked on the small ones. Then I tried vitamin C. THEY ARE GONE!!! What you do is take a vitamin C tablet and crush it into a powder then add just enough water to make it a paste (mine was similar to the consistency of spackle). Smear it on the warts, JUST THE WARTS, not the surrounding skin (serious yowzers!) and put a bandaid on top of it (if possible, or just cover it with gauze or something so it doesn't get anywhere too important haha). Leave that on overnight. I only had to do 1 night of treatment for each wart and then scrubbed it in the morning and it fell off. EVERY SINGLE ONE! This does hurt a bit, wayyy more than ACV but only takes 1 time. Also, boosting your immune system helps so step up those vitamins. Best of luck everyone =)

Apple Cider Vinegar is not a good remedy for women as it burns very badly. This is the PERFECT remedy... I have tried all and this WORKS!!! I used an empty pill bottle with a screw on lid... I mixed 1/2 Castor oil and 1/2 Aloe Vera Juice (the kind you buy to drink as it also has citrus acid in it which helps) Put lid on and shake well .. Apply :) Non painful remedy and you will see a big difference in a week. Its not overnight miracle but pretty darn close. I also went to the Vitamin world store in the mall and bought some liquid b 12.. 5000MCG.. The stronget I saw, and I take a shot of that orally everyday. B 12 helps. Let me know if this works for any of you :)))

The juices from the marigold leaves have been used traditionally to treat warts. Apply the juice on the warts two to three times daily. Yes I tried and is cheap and works on most. ACV or TTO are good as already mentioned. A last resort and for those hard to get at places is a mixture called 'Black Salve' down right rip off if you have to buy it and as this is the internet you never know what you get depending where it comes from. Cheap and not to hard to make yourself from the pdf below. Gets sold as a cancer-tumor removal aid but seems to work for warts (can't comment on the tumors etc)

I am a female and have had genital warts for about half a year now. They are smaller now, so I want to stop them before they get out of control. I have noticed them growing rapidly and I know on this course they may be hard to handle soon. I went on this site and did the Apple Cider Vinegar treatment that was recommended. After the first treatment of about 30 mins, I noticed the warts already reducing in size. I only did it for about 30 mins because it was burning and some severe irritation afterward that lasted around the area. It was painful to urinate. I noticed when I diluted the solution with water, it was a lot better. It may take a little longer, but the burning and irritation afterward was minimal. Here is what I did:
1. Clean area and hands with mild soap.
2. Soak a cotton face pad in 50/50 ACV and water, ring out any excess.
3. Put the soaked pad between you labia minoris (or wherever the warts are located)
4. Put a thin maxi pad in your panties for any excess.
5. Sleep with this overnight.
6. Remove and wash area with mild soap (like Summers Eve) in the morning.

I have noticed a pungent smell from this so I would not recommend doing it unless you know you can wash afterward. You dont want everyone wondering why you smell like vinegar. I also dont recommend having sex during this time because of the irritation.

I have been doing this for about 3 nights now and have noticed major improvement and Im completely satisfied. My warts did not become black, but reduced in size and felt like little rough bumps on my skin. My skin is a little inflamed though. I am going to do the ACV soak for one more night, and then apply some Vitamn E oil and cold compresses at night to help reduce the irritation and heal the area. This should help. Then depending on any re occurrences, I will repeat as needed. I see a positive future now.

Ok I posted on here maybe a month or two ago. About 3 weeks ago I had a major break out, actually the worst I've ever had. I was shaving, not realizing I had a OB. I cut open on of the bumps. So I used my powder( zinc gluconate) Well it seemed to not be working at all. The powder actually got stuck I'n the one I had cut open. It got hard like a seal. Making it WOrSe!! Omg I was so scared. Because I have no insurance, every damn clinic wanted to test me before being able to give me some meds, which would take like a week. So I asked if their was something I could just use over the counter. They recommend blistex which I's for the mouth. Also I bought like 10 bottles of peroxide because it helps prevent risk of infection I'n Minor cuts, ( I had cut my ob) also bought some no medical gloves. I would wash my self. Then poor the peroxide on myself until it didn't bubble anymore the I put the blistex on. I did this for two weeks. It took long because of my cut. But it did work. Hope this helps. Always keep the faith

CLEAN---FYI---medical person again

read some more ppl posts on here, couple more tips.

1. the vit c post got good results in the same manner the acv does, acid.

2. to those who tie up the protruding warts, you are cutting off circulation, good job, but follow up with acv/vit c to ensure you got it all.

3. acv/vit c is not spreading the warts, they are bringing out warts you couldn't see that haven't grown to a visible size yet. this is a good way to examine your entire private area, soak a washcloth with acv and cover the entire area until you feel a little sensitive to it (5-30 min). you will see them all, all the white spots. this isnt sufficient to treat them, this just makes them visible so you can treat them.

again good luck, i gotta quit reading you guys posts..no offense, but I may never shut up! bye

Hi, I noticed what appear to be gw and have started soaking them with vinegar, notice that they will turn lighter and also red, is this reaction typical to this treatment? Not much pain, more like discomfort, I've always used a condom but for penetrative sex only meaning that contact was made, just feel stupid for not thinking someone just touching me could transfer hpv, if I don't notice any improvement I'm headed to the doctor, just plan to try this for a week or so, I've got no insurance and not much money, thanks to everyone that has shared their story, I don't feel so alone

I'm 21 years old and was diagnosed with hpv two months ago. I went for my yearly and let my doctor know I had a bump and I had no idea what it was. Well sure enough there was more than I thought. I had office treatment which was the acid to burn them off!!!! Well it hurt and it worked. They fell off but sure enough a few weeks later they were back and worse. I went and bought the apple cider vinager and decided to only try it on a few near the top. Well so far after one night of a soaked cotton ballbof the a c v they have started to almost get soft and fall off. I'll admit this wasn't pleasant and pain free I burns quite a bit. But if I continue to do this as everone says and it truely works I'm gonna be a happy girl. I'm just worried I'd they never go away and keep getting worse I'll never lead a normal sex life again. And that's what I don't want to happen. Any suggestions because the last thing I want is to eventually meet someone and never be able to have a sex life because I'm scared of spreading this.

After 25 years of marriage, I divorced my spouse. I have had one boyfriend since and ended that when I caught him cheating. After a month or so after I broke up with him, After a month or so after I broke up with him, I got a noticed a growth in the genital area. When the first one appeared,I thought it was a pimple and treated it as such. That only made it worse. I had saw the gynecologist for other reasons and she was not concerned about the growth. (there are multiple reasons for such changes, that do not include the HPV virus). But in the weeks that followed it grew. I suspected it might be a wart.

I am studying for a degree in holistic medicine. So ... I did some research on genital warts. One of the tests that conventional doctors use to verify the presence of genital wart is to apply Acetic Acid to the growth in question. If it turns white within 5 to 10 minutes it is a wart. Acetic Acid is the primary compound in Apple Cider Vinegar. The test proved positive.

I read on many sites that ACV removed the warts. However, after several days of application, it did not remove the warts. It only burned my skin. This lead me to doing more research. Knowing that all pharmaceuticals have some kind of herbal base, I started researching how genital warts are treated by conventional medicine.

While there is no cure for the HPV virus that causes genital warts, the most effective way proven to remove warts and thereby prevent transmission is through the use of a Podophyllum resin (applied by a doctor in the office) or cream (which can be used at home). Podophyllum is the compound derived from the root of a plant family found primarily in China. One variety grows in the US: The Mayapple. It is VERY toxic so it is not to be taken internally!

I ordered a tincture (liquid form of the herb). When it arrived, I added several drops to vitamin ointment and applied it twice a day for 3 days. By day 3 ... the growth had become sore. When a conventional doctor prescribes the cream, they instruct 3 days application. Wait 4 days and apply again for 4 days up to a month. I stopped the application. It has been two days since I stopped the application and the wart is almost gone!

NOTE: Again the substance is highly toxic so do not ingest it. Use it only for topical applications unless otherwise advised by a licensed health care professional.

POINT OF INTERST: The compound derived from this plant actually kills cancer cells. In women, HPV often leads to cervical cancer. Currently the compound is being tested for the control and elimination of certain cancers with very promising results.

WARNING TO WOMEN: If you have genital warts on the interior parts of your labia or vulva, DO NOT USE THIS REMEDY. As I said, it is VERY toxic and if not used properly and with care .... it is dangerous. If you have warts in the inner labia .... seek medical attention immediately and do not attempt self-treatment.

Ok so i found out that i have HPV. This was about a year and a half ago. About 5 months ago i then found out that i have genital warts. I actually went to the doctor because my fiance's dermatologist recommended it..after we found out he had them. So i went and they treated me for them. I had to go back 3 times and yet they are still there. So i came on this site hoping to find a way to get rid of them. I have two of them and they arent that big. I tried the apple cider vinegar..i've been using it for about 2 weeks now. One of them shrank but did not fall off and the other didnt shrink at all. They turn white when i apply the acv..not black like alot of people have said. Am i doing something wrong? Because of where they are located i cant put a cotton ball and bandage on them. So i apply it with a Qtip and then put vaseline over them to act as a bandage..then leave it on for a few hours and then wash it off. Can someone please tell me if i'm doing something wrong. I was so hopeful that this would work and now i'm just bummed about it.

As you know, if you've done your research, there is no cure for genital warts! I contacted my family physician for a solution to my problem as it has just started and i did not want to spend hundreds of dollars on a fake cure. I am telling you this straight from his mouth that 'Compound W' or home wart freezing kits will NOT hurt you. I used Compound W to get rid of mine and within the first night they are almost gone!!!!! Granted, it is very early in my symptoms. I have 3 small warts but give it a try. it may burn a little but it is well worth it as it DOES WORK!!!!!!!

All the skeptics out there, the ACV works well, regardless of your gender, etc. I read about it, talked to an herbal remedy shop owner, etc. Finally, I tried it.

Step one: get your items together, cotton balls, a fresh bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar (available at your local GNC health store), and some medical tape or band-aids.

Step two: clean your area. I used a gentle anti-bacterial soap, and some warm water will feel wonderful.

Step three: dose the cotton ball with the ACV, and gently apply to affected area. warning: this will absolutely burn like hell, at least it did me. At first it was almost unbearable. and when I say almost, I mean it was the most intense thing I'd ever experienced and bottom line, OUCH. After a minute or two, put a fresh cotton ball (still soaked with ACV) over the affected area and cross your fingers that you've adjusted to the intense pain.

I left my cotton on there for about three hours, and all the warts turned white, you know the regular deal. I then cleaned up again, and put on a nice (CLEAN) pair of 100% cotton underwear (this will help you breathe), and relaxed as my day went on.

The next morning, my warts were nearly gone, almost like they were never there. I rubbed some A&D ointment on there (I didn't have any vit E tablets to 'pop'} and went on about my day.

Repeat this until you feel they've subsided. And remember, not everything works for everyone.. this was my best option at the time. Also? THE VIRUS DOES NOT GO AWAY, you will still be at risk for breakouts whenever your immune system is low. So take care of yourselves guys, it took me long enough to realize it!

ATTENTION LADIES.....I would love to hear how some of you suffering from GW are getting creative with your ACV soaked cotton balls!!

I have decided that you need to have at least 4 hands in order to even TRY to defeat this beast...one to hold the mirror, one to hold the q-tips, one to do the bandaging, and one to figure out if you are doctoring up sensitive skin or the GW!!!

I found out last month that I have Genital Warts. Have been to the doctor twice and have decided that there is no way I can afford to run to the doctor every time I feel a new bump!

I would love to try a full treatment attempt with ACV; however, I just can't seem to get anything to 'stay put'...unless I plan to sit with my hands in place for hours holding a cotton ball in place...bandaids were not meant to go 'there!!''

Thanks!

Well I figure since I've seen progress with ACV I would give it some more love on here. I started noticing little bumps about 6 months ago and kinda just wrote it off because I have had Fourdyce spots on my tesicles and lips since I've been little. Very faint spots but I notice them so I wrote it off as that. Then they got bigger, and bigger and my girlfriend started to freak. I tried all kinds of stuff including things on the internet...Wartol and Dermisil with very mild success... Never got rid of them just made them smaller and would eventually come back. I did have a lot of partners in college (not proud of it now that's for sure now that I've found someone I really care about) but thats another story. Desperate I went to a local store and spent $1 on ACV. I wrapped my junk in a paper towl for about 3 hours. When someone else said it was the worst pain of their life...I would agree. I gutted it out for 3 hours twice a day for 2 days. On the third day I did it for 3 hours in the morning before work and then after work the third day I tried again and it was ungodly painful after about an hour I couldn't gut it out anymore. I took a shower and flushed everything out and all but one were completely raw and gone. Now 2 hours later they're healed up and it looks great. One last one left. Seriously spent $300+ on crap online and ACV for $1 did the job. The pain is awful but it was the only thing that worked for me.

Firstly, thank you to everyone who are sharing their stories because we need to help each other!

I am another ACV convert. I got my first wart two months ago (during a time of stress)...one little sucker near my anus, then eventually one became many! I got rid of them all in 4 days, here's how (it's a combo of what others suggest)

1. Start taking a multivitamin, probiotic, garlic tablets and 1000mg Vitamin C daily.
2. Daily exercise (even just 20 mins!)
3. No booze =(
4. Apply ACV for 30 mins in the morn
5. Rinse off with warm water.
6. Apply vitamin E Oil (and continue throughout the day - this stopped my itching!).
7. Apply ACV for 30 mins in the evening
8. Rinse off with warm water.
9. Apply loads of a nappy rash cream, and don't wear undies to bed if you can....

So that's how I got rid of my 'little mates'...my Doc wanted to freeze them but I am a big chicken and the thought of that is crazy to me!

Good luck everyone, I hope everyone's suggestions help you like they've helped me.

For Mucous Membrame warts you will need ~ Toothpaste with SLS : A small framed un-edged mirror : Q-Tips : Cotton Balls : SLS will kill warts on the inner labia mucous membrane areas. Use toothpastes with the ingredient SLS. Use a small framed mirror to see your inner genital area during the application process. Use a Q-Tip to apply the toothpaste to one two or three warts at a time to avoid over exertion of pain. This does cause pain, but it works and costs next to nothing. Tear a piece of cotton ball into 3 pieces. Place the first flattened piece over your birth opening. Place the second and third pieces over the inside of the 2 labia flaps. Now fold your inner labias over each other, then fold your outer labias over each other. Do this 2 times a day after you get home from work in the privacy of your home. If you don't work you may want to do this 3 or 4 times a day depending on your pain thresh hold. Do this untill all of your warts are gone. May take weeks or months depending on how many warts you have.

Warts are a sign that you are deficient in potassium, which is why so many people have success with Apple Cider Vinegar. It is high in potassium. What I have found works is Country Life Target-Mins Calcium Magnesium Potassium. You can get it at health food stores or online. I was working out a lot and kept cramping up and got this to balance out my electrolytes and figured the calcium was a bonus. I take 2 a day. About a month later I noticed my wart was gone....extra BONUS! It has never returned and it was a problem for YEARS! I also have had a serious improvement with Restless Leg Syndrome in about 2 weeks after I started taking. I'm sure any potassium supplement would be good for warts. I'm just telling you the one I use. Just one thing I would stress is to only take the recommended amount because too much of anything can be bad too. You can search for warts & potassium deficiency.

I have never written or blogged before, but I felt the need to do so with this home remedy.

ACV works wonders!! I've sufferd with two genital warts I could never get rid over for about 5 years. I've had them treated by my gyno, which didn't work, and I've tried over the counter cremes/gels that didn't work either. The cremes/gels would peel layers off, but the warts would never go away.
I found out about ACV through this site and gave it a shot yesterday. I soaked ACV on a cotton swab and placed medical tape over them on each wart for about 6 hours. Then I immidiately repeated the treatment and went to bed. I didn't remove the swabs until about mid day and noticed the extreme color change to gray/black. There was absolutely no pain. I showered and then gently cleaned the area with a wet rag and both warts just peeled right off!! Now there is pain because of the raw skin, but I gladley take the raw skin over warts any day!

This remedy works and is amazing, thanks so much!!

PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS SCARE YOU!!! IT HURTS, BUT IT WORKS! JUST TAKE MY ADVICE TO MINIMIZE THE PAIN !!!I am a fairly good looking, single woman in my 30's. I was diagnosed with HPV about 2 years ago w an abnormal pap. Not only have I had to have surgery to prevent the virus from turning into cancer (still waiting to hear back from doc if I have to again), I just recently developed warts! I was (am?) completely ashamed and disgusted. When the dr gave me a scrip for a med that cost $345 I was hopeless. I decided to google it and found this site.
So, I tried the acv. I had flat bumps around the outside opening of my vag, and there were really REALLY big fleshy ones right surrounding the inside of my opening (fyi didn't look anything like I thought they would). First of all, DON'T TRY IT W/OUT HAVING TEA TREE OIL, VIT E, HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, IBUPROFIN (or tylenol or whatever) & SOME VODKA!!! (or painkiller of YOUR choice.
So, I first put the acv on cotton-didn't really hurt. Left it for 20 minute intervals for 3 times. The 3rd-oh dear God-I thought I was going to die. Couldn't take it.(that's when I decided I needed the vodka for the next time).
I gave it a rest for a few hours. I downed a few shots, got a show cued up that I wanted to see to distract me-and put the acv soaked cotton inside on the affected area. It kills. I stayed thru it-breathed thru the pain like they teach u when giving birth. After about a half hour of EXCRUTIATING pain, it kind of dulled. I left in in for about an hour and a half.
Now, I did not have the tto/vit e. Big mistake. The next day was awful. Took ibuprofin, kinda helped, wore off and still hurt. Totally worth it all tho. During the 2nd day, I would use the bathroom, and it was like the tiny warts on the outside were falling off, and the ones inside were melting. Like in gooey disgusting pieces, but melting. I cleaned myself w hyd peroxide, cuz really tring to prevent spreading-and put the tto/vit e on. TTO gives MUCH relief-like I said, don't attempt w out. So even today (day 3) they were still dissolving. I was checking them out while cleaning/putting tto on them, and OMG!!!! WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT!!! Can see red where the nasty one's in the opening were dissolving! sore but WOW. And the bunch of little bumps? Only a few remain. Now, I know I'm not done yet, need to do another round of acv-but this truly is working, and I am so grateful I'm not alone. I thought my sex life was over. Good luck, person reading this.

Just like most of you, I was so depressed when I first found my first wart near the top of my vagina, near my clitoris. I didn't think anything of it first, and thought maybe, just maybe it'll go away. And then while washing my anus area in the shower, I felt a raised bump, then a couple of little ones.

I first found out I had hpv about two years ago and never in my life have I ever had warts, until about a month ago. Thank goodness for a site like this, as I was so embarrassed to even go to any doctor to have them take a look at the warts.

I started the Apple Cider Vinegar method the night of 11/11. For 4 days straight, I placed a cotton ball of the acv on the ones in between my anus and the one on my vagina for 1-3 hours at a time. They literally turned white after the 1st night. The 2nd night, I started seeing the little ones on my anus turn black. By the 3rd night the one on top of my vagina near the clitoris fell off, but the vinegar showed that I had more than just one on my vagina. Then the small ones on the top of my vagina started to get bigger by the 4th day. They looked like a sore. Like a popped blister. So I decided to crush a vitamin C pill and place it on the sore like ones on my vagina. When the people here said it hurts like h*ll, trust me, I have never experienced so much pain before in my life. But I kept it on for 30 minutes. I started to think of anything but the burning.

After the 4th day, my anus and vagina's skin's top layer were peeled off, and putting more acv didn't seem like it would help my raw skin. I still had the ones on my anus but they were smaller and the one on my vagina was gone. So I decided to let my skin heel. So I haven't put anything on it for the last week. Today, my skin on my vagina is completely heeled. I still see two little white dots, which I believe were warts in the making and putting the vinegar on them only showed the potential they will become. The small warts on my anus are gone, I only have the bigger one to worry about, but my skin next to the bigger anus wart is still a little raw. I have now resorted to putting tea tree oil on the one on my anus. It doesn't burn and you can wear it all day.

I have been taking a multi vitamin, garlic, 1000mg vitamin C pills on a daily basis. I'm pretty healthy, not this week since Thanksgiving, but if you take care of your body, your immune system, you should be okay. I just think these last 6 months have been too stressful on my body.

Try the Acv method, it really does work! Good luck!

Hey everyone I just got GW about 5-7 months ago now, and I just wanted to say ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) WORKS! here is what I'm doing currently! I started to use it as soon as I bought the stuff after reading about it here. I purchased 100 Triple Thick cotton balls and Braggs ACV with the mother inside. I am a male and the GW are on my anus.

I applied my first cotton ball for approx. 3 hours, with the cotton dripping quite a bit at exactly 3pm.

I waited about 3-4 hours before applying another and going to sleep with it.

Wokeup at 6am to remove the cotton, and applied Peroxide to clean the area and Aloe Vera with Menthol to sooth the terrible terrible burning I've been suffering.

Re-applied around 2pm waiting until 5pm to remove and apply aloe and peroxide.

Re-applied again around 10pm and took it out to take a warm bath. In the bath I was lightly scrubbing my anus with a washcloth and soap and the GW started flaking off!

I applied a smaller ammount for a couple more hours and took it out before bed tonight for a good night sleep without burning.

My notes, the GW turned white, gray, then black, now only black. I will apply again once I wakeup and leave it in for 3 hours, with a 4 hour break after.
Good Luck people over 90% of people who use ACV over Dr. prescriptions prove ACV works than what any DR could give you.

I had a breakout and tried ACV but they just spread. I also tried the freezeoff and it did not help. So I went on Ebay and bought a 100% TCA peel and applied it to the warts with qtips. The skin peels and removes the warts. I had to do it a couple times on the larger ones. It took a couple of weeks to remove them all but it worked great. It does burn alot. I bought a fan to help some with the burning.

I rencently found out that I had HPV a month ago and have been SOO stressed out since. I felt like my life was over (well, sex life anyway). My Gyno used the acid method and treated it (I had two little ones)but they didnt really go away, they stoped itching and dont bother me but they are still there. Its seems like its all I think about and Im really glad I found this site cause it has helped me a lot. Im going to start the vits/minerals and see if that works. Im a little scared to try the apple cider vinger as some people had said it made it worse or made more pop up so for now Im gonna just try the vit/min regimen, Ill keep yas posted.
Also, Iv noticed that people keep saying NO booze and NO coffee. I understand the NO booze part cause it lowers the immune system, but why no coffee? Iv never heard that coffee lowers the immune system. Infact, I read that recent research showed that drinking coffee helps prevent certain kinds of skin cancer so it would lead me to beilive that it would help the immune system. Any thoughts on this??

Fast and simple temporary solution is using heat to kill the warts. Disinfect the area, take a needle and heat it up with a lighter until the needle is red hot and lightly poke at the wart until it changes color to white-ish. It sounds painful but it's not!! After a day or 2 it will completely fall off! They may re-appear so just keep applying heat. It's quick and easy and they completely fall off!

I came across this site a while ago. I heard of others success with ACV, yes, it does work, but much more painful and it takes much longer also.
I'm aware of the precautions of using Compound W, but I went ahead and purchased a bottle (Liquid Compund W). I first had a bath, (soaked)the lady area, and then used a cotton ball and vingear to help with finding the warts. Rinced the vingear off in the bath again, then comes the part that involves the pain (what kept me going through the pain was 'ya, you nasty little things will be gone!!). Very carefully, I applied the Compund W to the ones that were clearly visible, and to others that were 'new', just to save myself future pain. It does burn, and do not apply it to healthy skin, (and ladies, if you find one on your ah hemm, sensitive spot, beware, big owees if you put any on that!!) and make sure it doesn't drip on any either, wipe away any 'mistakes' immedietly. I then sat down, legs apart,(the solution does harden and make those spots tender and burn at first, so try to do it on a day where you don't have to move around so much. I then went about my day. On day 2, I had a bath, and pulled off the hardened Compound W, and applied a new layer. The warts should be visible and now turning white if done right, so they aren;t hard to miss. Left that on for the remainder of the day, then had a bath at night,soaked and just left it. The next morning I had another bath, soaked, and removed anything left of the Compound W. The area will be very tender and try not to touch it with your hands. I used paper towel, a little tougher than bath tissue, and softer than a cloth. And the skin began to come off, revealing 'new' skin. If it can come off, you can try to pull it off, but let most rub off or fall off. Have a bath or shower to rinse the new skin, and to reduce spreading the virus deeper, or further. Today, I'm just elated that I can see new skin, not the nasty looking things from before. Even though its not a cure, it can definatly bring some postive feelings towards your 'parts' again. I know I miss the near perfect, even skin I had before I got infected. Its not the end of the world, but it sure does feel like it when your body is invaded with lumps and bumps, and no cure!! If you have questions, I will just repost the info for you. I really hope this works as good for me as it will to others that try it.

The ACV treatment does work. I had used it in the past. Soaking overnight isnt really that necessary, you will just burn the skin even more, and the outcome will be intense pain. Get some tape/bandaids, and cottonballs soak the cottonballs in AVC and tape it to the warts from anywhere to an hour to 5 hours, depending on how bad the warts are. Remove and rince the area. I found that when I had to pee, the urine would sting the areas horribly, so I use a warm squirt bottle and 'flush' the areas to help when I use the washroom. Apply Vitamin E oil,or any oil that soothes/heals skin, eg. Neosporin. Let yourself heal a little, when most of the stinging sensations are gone, and repeat the whole process. In just a short time, they will be gone. Some good signs it is working are; they turn white, begin to peel off in pieces, and the skin underneath is red(raw, new skin, hence the stinging you feel when you urinate.) This is the best advice one sufferer can give to another...a success story. Any treatment that involves the ACV works.

I'm a 19 yo female. So I have literally tried every single thing I've seen on this page for the past few months. ACV hurts too much, tried pulling them out, which is impossible cause they cover every cm of the inside of my vag and all over my clitoris, and then started to have itching around anus, put some acv on it and sure enough it started to burn and lovely white bumps started popping up. At this point I did not leave my house for a week bc of the itching, was taking a ridiculous amount of expensive supplements, and learned that the expression 'I just threw up in my mouth' actually exists, this virus is so nasty looking. My fiancee found out and left me, didn't cheat, he just told me that it was too gross to be with me along with some other things that were so hateful that it crushed me. I'm a model signed with a big agency, who booked me for several amazing jobs, but they all involved leotards/bikinis/outfits that made me super uncomfortable so I had to turn them down. My life was hitting rock bottom fast. Then my crazy aunt was telling me that if Jesus could raise the dead, cure leprosy, turn water to wine, then why wouldn't he be able to cure hpv. It's kind of funny how crazy it sounds to think of miracles like that happening today, so I dismissed it. Went to church the next morning...the message was all about healing and how you just have to ask god to heal you and believe with your whole heart that you are healed...I thought, wow, that sounds like tinkerbell, and dismissed it. When I got back to my house, got out of the car and my bible fell out and hit the ground, I picked it up and on that page my eyes just saw “And the Lord will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you.” (Deuteronomy 7:15) At that point I was a little curious from everything happening at once, I got inside and decided to give it a try. It was honestly one of the weirdest things I have ever done, talking out loud to a person I wasn't even sure was listening or there for that matter. Oddly enough, I got really into it begging him to heal me, I kinda laughed at myself when I thought about what I just did. 4 days later they were completely gone, I was in shock...and the best part of it was three days after that my ex calls and says he has them and sure enough his ex had them and he slept with her while we were together so he's the one who gave it to me. then he begged for me to forgive him, I will not be getting back with someone like that. All I can say is Thank You, Jesus!!! haha I have my life back. I know this post sounds crazy trust me I still think its crazy, I sound like my aunt, but it's true and I'm in shock but overwhelmed by how incredible He is and how I would have never thought reading this a few months ago that Jesus would work better than garlic pills, tto, and acv haha So I would definitely recommend everyone stop burning skin off your body and just pray!

For Genital Warts just pop about 4-6 Garlic liquid capsules a day. At first I had 2 then a few more came. I took about 4 pills a day and on the 3rd day the last few warts were gone and the 1st 2 dissapeared about 3 weeks later. I still take 2 a day just to keep them away and its been about 2 months and no warts. Im not Kidding!I thought it was hopeless when i couldnt find a remedy then i saw that garlic worked as a virus killer so I tried it. My husband had a few also and his are all gone except for his 1st one which is so tiny its not even noticable. Jar can be bought at walmart for about $4.00 and says take 2-3 a day but just take about 4-6 for a jump start then drop to 2-3 daily when theyre gone.

Hi Ladies and Gents,

i live in a strict country, for this reason i can not go to doctor ... Recently i ve found some black bumps on my groin area. then i diognosed them that they are HPV warts... hello world :((

recently i found this site and after several hrs of reading i decided to use ACV tech. But i think i did something wrong. Now i am seeking your help pls share your experience and guide me on this issue.

1.st night i clean the infected areas with anti bacterial soap (on my left scrotum area) and applied ACV whole night. I saw most of them become white morning.
1.st morning before applying the new bandage, i started to rub the area with ACV soaked cotton, and i observe that warts were easily peeled off. i did this 3-4 mins. on some particular areas. Then it started burn like hell. then I stopped. and i applied ACV bandage again whole day

2nd night again i applied ACV. İt was burning like hell again but i survived ...
2.nd morning, i observe the area previously rubbed, lost all skin, and all area was white (4cm by 2 cm)pure white like white cake. I am not describing white spots. Think about totally pure white area. And height difference between surrounding area significant. i.e. This area is in deep. It seems like all protective skin or warty skin was off.

Now i am applying bepanthene creams to heal the area.

My question is that should i still continue to apply ACV to the area or i should wait some time to heal a little or no need to do anything because all warts removed only thing is waiting until the healing.

What is your opinion?

Pls help me i am emotionally so down.

Hie guys! Firstly I'd like to say I am sooooooo grateful to have found this blog! I live in a 3rd world country in Africa. I had been with my boyfriend for about 4years. In May this year I went to the doctor and had my pap smear done. The results were devastating! I have HPV she said. Only after confronting my boyfriend countless times did he admit to have cheated and to have known about the virus simply because he had it! My world was shattered! Went to see my gynaecologist and he suggested that I do a cone biopsy. The pain was mediocre. Last month I went for review and he said I was doing ok. I have lost my self confidence, pride and dignity in all this. I am so bitter, especially after being faithful for 4years. And the fact that he lied to me about it makes it worse. Just 3weeks ago I noticed a cluster of genital warts.I don't know if I can find this acv here in Africa but I will go to the grocery store for tto, garlic,vitamin e oil and apple cider vinegar. I will start an application today and I will keep you updated on what's working.

ok, so I found this site yesterday after being sick of a (what i thought was just one was many more!) wart that was uncomfortable. Every movement made me remember what was down there! I had REALLY bad warts during my pregnancy (the first and only breakout before now) and was told there was nothing they could do til after I gave birth (a c section cuz of this bs!!)... and I just want to say I think no treatment during pregnancy and a c section ARE the way to go if you have HPV and are pregnant!!!!! Some girl posted that she stuck a tampon full of toothpaste up there during pregnancy!!!! That can NOT be good for the baby... what the heck!!! Also, some guy gives his email and number saying some magic drink cured him... he's trying to sell this stuff he claims is the answer to probably a million ailments out there (seriously if some1 had the time they could prob find him everywhere, and if you called and asked what ailment it cured he'd be stumped, he wouldn't know what forum you found him on lol!)
Anyway, last night I tried dousing TP in peroxide and putting it on the area, which is like right inside the hole... which is HARD TO SEE AND GET TO UGH! But they are painful so I wasnt about to leave them. Anyway, I covered the area with vaseline so it would only effect the warts. I felt like air bubbles coming out all night and couldnt sleep in fear that my whole vagina was going to burn off that night haha!!! Well, today there was no change, none ositive at least! Just felt swolllen or water loggged it was weird! I also dripped the contents of a vit E pill into shea butter this morning, which didnt sooth, it made me feel sooooo dryyy.
So, right now I am trying toothpaste. I dont even know if it's the right kind, but let me tell you, when it first went on I thought I was gonna die (for like 5 secs) and I starting sweating so bad!!!!! But soon after it is feeling k ind of soothed... much better than I have in days. Just very minty which is kind of scaring me lol. I dont care what happens to the warts, im just scared of the healthy skin!!!! AH!
Wish me luck..... next step is ACV which im putting off cuz it sounds scarry and it means a trip to the store lol.

ACV actually made my gw's worse (female)

I did it for about 2 weeks a few times soaked it with a cotton ball (stung so bad I couldn't take it!) then mainly applied a paste w/castor oil and aspirin that I read on another site. applied vitamin e sometimes in between for relief.

As I said for me, they were worse, but it seems like they worked for all of you! Mine did not turn black, and I know for sure they are warts because I had a biopsy (condyloma accuminata) perhaps it works better with the other type? molloscum ?

While I did that I also took lots of Vitamin E, Olive Leaf Extract and an anti-viral herbal extract.

I'm trying some other things now, I'll post if it works. So far, there seems to be some results.

using:
mashed frankincense resin
mashed aspirin
oregano oil
another oil blend (has cinnamon, clove, rosemary, eucalyptus)

so far the large one is starting to come off, but there are lots of very tiny ones and some that are partially internal, so I think those will be more stubborn.

drinking lots green tea and also inhaling the oils at night via diffuser, and taking a couple other supplements

people this ACV is killing me, I'm used to pain with multiple surgies, including spine surgery, but this is total hell. I spread it accidentally washing in the shower. Now it's even at the bottom in the opening. I'm afraid it's gone inside. I put some ACV on a bandage and inside. I'm ready to go back to tea tree oil, the pain is horrid. I'm afraid I'm going to end up at the doctor's office. I'm going to try duck tape tomorrow on clitrois lips, it's bad down at the bottom, and every time I pea, no matter how much I clean, it's still scabby 3 days later. Hard to treat an area that isn't dry when you pee constantly. I'm going to put a cotton ball of tea tree oil just inside for tonight, I can bear it easier than ACV. I've used tea tree oil for yeast infections before, so I know it's safe. If anyone else has any ideas, let me know. The cotton ball and tape won't work where I have it, and having big lips down there it's hard to see it all, much less treat it. I'm tempted to buy that roll on stuff I say on ebay. I have genital herpes, but this is worse by 10x easy :( HELP!

I found out that i had caught them from my ex. The worse part was that I'm pregnant with them. I found a few on the outside and took the advice from someone on here to tie string around them. IT WORKED!!! By the next week they were completely gone. But now i've discovered them on my cervix and other places i just could not tie a string to. I read that someone else used a q-tip with toothpaste. i started doing that yesterday. This morning i decided instead of a q-tip why not use a tampon so it lasts longer? A few hours later I took it out and a few warts were on the tampon!!!! Now I know it takes a few times so I am going to continue doing this like 2 or 3 times a day like it was instructed to do with the q-tip. i think they fall off faster this way though. But like she instructed... use toothpaste with 'SLS'. I am thankful for this website because now I have the chance to deliver my baby vaginally due to the remedies on this page... I hope others are helped like I was...

I'm actually 5 months pregnant. I have been exposed to HPV in the past but because my immune system was much stronger before pregnancy, I showed absolutely no symptoms. At about 3 1/2 maybe 4 months, I broke out with warts completely out of no where. They almost came over night. I was completely devastated. My doctor told me they would rather wait until after pregnancy because the warts may clear on their own but at the same time I have the risk of passing a long to my child during birth. So I refused to leave it to chance. I'm currently using the Apple Cider Vinegar method. At first I was a little skeptical but littlerally 10 minutes after application, all the warts have turned white and I can see them ALL clearly. I have 3 very large warts and those seem to be taking to the ACV the most. Fingers crossed. I hope this works! This is day one for me.

First of all, I want to say I understand what you are going through to everyone who is experiencing this outbreak.

I am 42yrs old and never thought I would experienced this. However,it was about 4 months ago when I figured something was not right and I came to this very site after many seaches.

With this knowledge, I went to my GYN, and sure enough it was HPV. She treated my first outbreak...little did I know that was the start of many outbreaks.

After her threatment about 1 week after it heal, I started seing more and I started appling ACV...I did that on and off for about 4 weeks..after that I then used Compound W wart gel for another 3 weeks on and off...the outbreaks were still coming on in different stages.

Finally, after 4 months I notice the outbreaks were less and a few warts were actually forming...During the last treatment I applied ACV for 2 days and then apply Compound W freezze off. After the first treatment I was noticing a change.

I apply the frezzee off for about 4 days on and off...which brings me to this day..The bumps are slowly disappering and I am planning a visit to my GYN in a few weeks.

But, what I think what happening I was letting ACV clean and treat the area as the outbreak ran its cource.

I also got some E vitmains capsule and applied it during this time. I also staring taking Vitamins (Multi, B, D, C)

WARNING: All stages of appication did hurt as hell. The pain I have gone through was hard and differcult.

I've had surgery (and medical creams) twice on my anal warts in a span of 3 years. Surgery is painful and unnecessary. What worked for me was a garlic suppository, it's even better than taking a garlic pill which has been sitting on a market shelf for who-know's-how-long and not as potent. Put the one of the garlic pods (Not the entire flaky garlic bulb!) up inside your anus and continue about your day. It's going to burn in 30 minutes - an hour. It will burn like someone put chiles and hot sauce up your butt! but it is all-natural! nothing your body can't handle. Anyway, if it burns too much, just poop it out again and take a mild lukewarm bath.

Genital wart removal from shaft of penis.

#1 decide if it is really hurting anything.
You must have your mind set to go through
With removal. If you leave it, it may go away
Or in my case it grew bigger and spread.
#2 go buy some salicylic face wash and start
Using once a day to clean penis then twice a day. I may burn on first wash but you can take it.
After you grow a tolerance to it and it doesn't burn anymore go on to step #3. if it keeps burning you then you have to decide If you want
The wart gone then what you need to do to is
Take a little burn for 10mins maximum. If it burns more and more take a few days off and then try again.
#3 go buy some generic wart remover maximum strength with salicylic acid 17%
generic is not as strong as name brand
Apply this directly to wart in very small amount
My wart was huge but if small dab it with a toothpick just make sure it crust over.
After first application the acid will likely show you
More warts or make invisible warts visible,
Or make a wart look larger. It is gona burn a little
But if the first burn is too much just stop use.
Apply once a day for 3 days directly to warts.
Every time it's gona burn a little more.
After three days, stop use. They should look bigger and surrounding skin may be discolored
But do not worry. Let it heal for 48-72Hrs and they will fall off like magic. I promise. After the minimal burn heals they fall off
They peel off like the acid peels off them.
Skin underneath isn't discolored, you would
Never know I took off 6 and one was 1/2inch by 1/2inch they turned black and fell off on day 5

I keep reading all these articles about how vitamins and excise really work for beating this thing. This is definitely a good idea. I had and epiphany. A few months back i started working out and taking women's supplements. I had quite a few of them fall off during that whole process. They have came back with a vengeance, since i stopped taking the vitamins. I have tried the aldera cream. It works wonders with the flat ones, i had a cluster of them that were gone after a week. but the more raised round ones seemed to shrink but only got bigger and spread. now the flat ones are gone and my vagina looks like a patch of mushrooms :( i am gonna start the vitamin regiment again. i am praying it helps.

Hey guys...i'm a 22 female who has had warts for over a year now, of course the doctor prescribed me the usual Aldara which didnt work. I dont have health insurance so going to the dr. wasn't the best decision being that I cant afford to get them frozen off. I've tried vitamins, toothpaste and apple cider vinegar but I couldnt stand the pain, and having to tape around the area (which is especially difficult being a girl) I recently started using the Compound W gel, and my warts are going away!!! :) i have two rather large ones that have been around since last May 2009 and ive been using the gel for a little over a week and they are already disapearing, i've already gotten rid of 4 of them. The gel actually dries in a minute or so and creates a white plaster on the wart, I left the plaster on for a day and than took it off cleaned the area and re-applied and there is NO pain. Yes the box does say do not use on genital warts but, I have no scarring and i'm almost wart free, I will of course keep on using vitamins and keeping aware of my Immune system since we all know thats the main cause. I really wanted to share this with all of you because I have had them for a YEAR and now they are almost gone. I finally have my self confidence up and I know thats also helping clear them up too because im finally not stressed out about having warts because there almost gone!! I hope this helps you all and good luck

a week or so ago i tested positive for mono and i felt just completely drained all the time.though the swelling in my throat and organs went down, i noticed the skin around my clitoris was starting to swell. i didnt really think anything of it, maybe it was a side affect of the mono. but then i noticed this open bite looking thing on it and thought it could be a bug bite since theres a lot of mosquitos out and ive been getting swarmed everytime i step out the door.

i told my boyfriend of over a year about it to see if maybe he had any thoughts, but he didnt have a clue.so i started my google search and found it might be herpes, since some of the symptoms matched.i keept looking though and looked for images,because even though they may look different for everyone there was bound to be one person with the same thing as me right?i found a picture of the same open wound looking thing and it was an add for genital warts.. i freaked.and the moment i read the symptoms i knew that this had to be it.i am 17 and have only slept with two people.ive gotten the HPV vaccination.im scared to go to the doctors,and to tell my mom since she doesnt know that i am sexually active.my doctors know,but there is no way to keep this from her if i go to see them. so i found this cream online thats supposed to work on many skin conditions, so my boyfriend is ordering it for me and hopefully it works. the cream is called Terrasil. has anyone heard of it? does it work? it has great reviews. the warts have gotten much worse,theres a good 25-30 of them.so im willing to try anything at this point,im miserable.i just feel depressed,ive never had anything like this happen to me before.
since i still have mono, my immune system is preoccupied and this is most likely why ive broken out so bad.
my mom is really into essential oils so ive been putting tea tree oil and lavender on it,and i mean ALL over.almost my whole vaginal area is covered.so far its only reduced the irritation.. it helps knowing that im not alone in this horrible situation.reading all of these stories is reassuring,thank youu.

Thank God for this website!!

Hello everyone, I am a 23 year old female and just recently noticed I have HPV (or at least the physical symptoms if you know what I mean)

Ever since I can remember, I've always had an abnormally strong immune system. I RARELY ever get sick, ever! But over the past 3 months I've been working two jobs, extremely sleep deprived, and eating nothing but absolute garbage. Fast food daily, candy, sweets all the time. So what do you know I just recently found the warts. I thought it was weird since the last time I've even ever slept with a guy was back in June. No idea who I caught it from considering I thought all the guys I've been with are pretty trustworthy. I've been taking a multivitamin which I am now thankful for seeing as most of the posts here mention taking one. But I smoke, so I'm going to try to stop ASAP. I've read a ton of your posts about the ACV so I'm gunna try it and let you know how it goes. Thanks so much for all the support and great advice!!

Just wanted to put my 2 cents in, I feel home remedies are important especially with health care costs spiraling out of control.

What doesn't work: Compound W.(the spread), Aldara (to expensive didn't use long enough), freeze away.

How you can tell if they are warts: Soak them with vinegar and they will turn white.

What worked:
Apple Cider Vinegar: I used a piece of cotton ball soaked in the Vinegar, shaved the area, put the soaked cotton ball on it, then put a Nexcare Waterproof bandaid over it. I left it on for 24hours the first 2 days, then 12 hours a day (mostly at night) the next 3 days. They eventually fell off left what looked like a pus bubble in their place. It was somewhat discomforting a slit burning sensation but you got to kill the roots. Eventually it closes up and heals and they have not returned. I am very pleased with the results!!!! :)

Why is it the guy always blames the woman? I found out a few months ago that my bf passed HPV on the me (I was married 14 years prior and never had it til after being with him aq few years). He noticed a few bumps on his penis and has been accusing me of cheating but I had no signs. After he finds them I got tested and found out I have HPV but had no GW. Well here we are 6 months later and after shaving I noticed a bump. Concerned I applied acv and found out the are gw and apparently shaving spread it cause I now have an whole white area that shows up when you put acv on it. I have not told him yet cause the first thing he will do is blame me and accuse me of cheating. We are at the end of the relationship as it is so I figure I can tell him as I walk out the door. I KNOW it wasn't me cause I highly doubt a person can go 14+ years without an outbreak. This time I know it was from high stress levels thanks to the relationship. Anyhow, I have started acv treatments and am going to buy some tto after work as well as vitamins and garlic. I will say that I have ALWAYS used a vinegar/water douche almost daily from frequent sex and am guessing that would keep them at bay. Since we haven't had sex in 3 months I haven't felt the need so maybe using the mixture helped me from getting them sooner. So if you have them internally I would definitely try that mixture. (1/2 and 1/2). It doesn't appear that I have them on the inside but to be certain I started using it daily as well.
Hope this works cause I am a highly sexual (monogomus and in a relationship) person and not havind sex would devastate me, not to mention I am 40 and in my prime. :)
Also, why was the HPV immunization not told me to prior. I seperated from my husband at 36 and apparently that was too old to get it.... doctors should recommend it to everyone married or not cause spouses do cheat!!!

Mine isn't necessarily a 'cure' but if the visible warts are getting you down, I would suggest this.

I'm one of those who hates a doctor performing a procedure on myself. He suggested burning the warts off and I was not really into that. He did it, it didn't hurt, but it didn't really do anything.

I decided to do it myself. I got some baby wipes, alcohol pads, small cuticle or eyebrow trimming scissors, and a mirror. I cut them off myself. I have no scars and they haven't spread since I'm removing the root of the bump instead of applying a cream.

If you only make a small incision and try popping them like a zit, a small, hard kernel will come out. You'll bleed a little bit and all you will feel is a pinch like you're getting a needle prick.

Be sure to use sterile alcohol pads or boiling water to sterilize your scissors. The baby wipes are for the bleeding. You also need to use the alcohol pads before and after you cut. Neither of these sting.

This is no promise that you won't spread it to someone else, but it will get rid of the actual, embarrassing bumps. I have actually seen a significant decline in my outbreaks since I started using this method, however it has taken about six months. It's a little easier for me than remembering to take certain supplements at a certain time every day.

I just wish I could for sure get rid of it so my boyfriend wouldn't be scared of me =(

I have had high risk HPV for about two years. I did not see warts until about a year later (I was pregnant and my hoe bag of an ex was cheating on me). The first outbreak was the worst. Turns out, he had (on top of the HPV) given me three different sexually transmitted viruses that cause warts. Lucky me, they never looked like cauliflower and I haven't had much trouble since. Just a few here and there. I only recently started cutting them off and popping them since I've been trying dating again. I understand the embarrassment and uncertainty of trying to have sex with this annoying problem. Not to mention, having to have the past pop up on you unexpectedly.

I will be trying the hydrogen peroxide topically to try to kill any other wart cells that may be forming. I reallyyyy don't want to give my baggage to anyone else.

P.s. A similar procedure works for raised moles, minus the kernel. You just have to cut the whole thing off. It looks like a freckle afterwards. I just hateeee doctors.

I honestly felt like killing myself after my doctor basically ran out of the room after a glance saying its warts you'll be fine they'll go away by themselves
this is the same doctor who has been treating me for a a non existent immune system for 2 years
sigh
so, im stressed, in the middle of a divorce from a cheating husband

i googled it finally and got this page
you guys have really made a diff and given me hope
tday i went to the dollar store got a pk of cheap sanitary napkins and went to walmart to get acv
i soaked the napkin with it and wore it for am hour...................
it burned!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and every move i made it burned afresh
but i stuck it through
i just was poking them with a qtip and realised some of the tops are already falling off!!! im soooo happpy
im going to a meeting in an hr and then ill wear it for the night
since i have what looks like a scattering of small pimples i figure if i go 2 wks it should go away

Two things I've tried that have NOT worked: 1. electrocautery surgery caused horrible, blackened flesh that became open sores as the flesh fell off. Didn't affect some of the warts and where I thought it HAD worked, the warts actually grew back in greater number. 2. acid didn't work at all the first few times (that's why they tried the electrocautery). They tried it again AFTER electrocautery, and I thought it had worked on a few spots, but they just grew back.

I'm trying Aldara now. Thank goodness no open wounds, but I don't see any change in the current warts and I'm getting more. I've only been on it for 2 weeks. This is August. I discovered the warts in June. It's my first (and hopefully only) outbreak. I guess they haven't stopped emerging yet.

I'm also taking Astragulus, Vitamin B-complex, vitamin c, l-lysine, and several others, hoping to boost my immune system. But STRESS trumps all that, so I need to get my stress under control.

I have genetal warts. After reading this entire forum and a little bit of trial and error post heavy research i will let you know what i have done and the current status.

A little back ground information first. I am a 25 year old Male, college graduate, current on a respected career path. Serious relationship with very respectable women and strayed twice in the past during a year single period splitting up two different 4 year long relationships. Unprotected sex with these individuals was mostly likely where i contracted HPV, but i can not be to sure. It could have been my recent 4 year relationship because my first sign of GWs was nearly 2 years into this relationship. She could carry with no signs or have pushed the virus into a dormant state. I am her 3rd sexual partner. Also after the 1st year she got the Gardisil immunization to HPV. WHO KNOWS WHERE IT CAME FROM. I had genital warts unknowingly for two years. You ask yourself how the hell did you not know. Well for one i was not thinking STD being 2 years in a relationship and second it was 3 GWs all on lower end of penile shaft where i regularly shave and i have very sensitive skin and frequent irritation and ingrown hair as a result of shaving. So i did small amounts of research and decided it was just irritated hair follicles or a infected sebaceous gland. Wish i would have determined it was HPV then because it would've have been easier to handle this earlier. Any way, after 2 years and two more GWs popped up in more conspicuous locations closer to penis head i started to come out of denial. Also i became single and the first GW was very visible and did not want to have this 'growth' in plain site of a new partner. So i started the research, self diagnosed GWs, and booked a appointment with a dermatologist the next day which confirmed my diagnosis. WORST WEEK OF MY ENTIRE LIFE.

Dermatologist applied a topical liquid which burned and immediately followed with cryo treatment. My beautiful penis was extremely damaged from application. The cryo does not focus just the GW and all area around is damaged and scabs up. Increasing my depression during this week. I literally cried a little. There was a follow up appointment a month later that i canceled. The cryo did nothing to any GW except first large one, which it just removed the lifted portion of GW but not the roots and it started to re grow later.

I then decided to self treat my warts and tried a series of AVC and Compound W wart remover. Doing this and not understanding the need for constant sterilization of the areas proved to be a mistake. My GWs actually spread. But here is what i learned, new small GW are easily treated with AVC. Direct application will hallow out these guys in days and no signs of return after over a month. The other original warts are larger and deeper and more resilient to a topical application of AVC or compound W gel. So more research was done to determine how to handle these.

The main goal of mine was to immidiatly destroy all contents of the GW. Because during the healing process if the scab is broken, which is easily done in this area just from moving and sitting, then it can spread easily. So this is where i thought about using the Dr. Schools or Compound W freeze kits, which are easily and cheaply substituted by a bottle of duster cleaner for computers and hollow q tips. SAME EXACT THING. So i was going to freeze the warts well to dry up internal liquids and snip off the wart. Raising them high with tweezers you can see a distinct cut off location. Then possibly alternating neosporin and TTO to help with healing and killing any left of infected area. Of course i had intentions of constantly keeping clean and dry with peroxide and alcohol. I decided against this because i was unsure about the cutting due to some being close in proximity to each other and larger than i was comfortable cutting.

So then i read about people burning GWs with either matches or heating up needles. This seemed to be quick, with fast healing, and kills all contents of the GW and surrounding area. GWs have no nerves so when its done the pain is from surrounding area of skin, which you want to feel because this will minimize the area for the virus to spread to. And you know you have gotten the entire GW itself. So i had a few drinks (liquid courage) and then got to work. I started with cleaning and sterilizing the area, had rubber gloves and peroxide ready. I used stick matches first because they have a larger area they can cover. I lit it and let them burn for a few second, blew out, then immediately applied to GW. There was a sizzle and pain that prevented me from keeping the match constantly on location. After the first match the location was dead and i applied two more matched in exact location with no pain at all. This is to make sure i get down to the root. I did this to all 5 GWs and then cleaned with peroxide. No bleeding and no post first match pain. I then held a needle to fire till it was red and applied it to each former GW and touching the tip to many spots of GW. Because you can kill half of a GW and the rest will be fine. I wanted all roots to be killed. I now clean the area frequently and keep under bandage applying Vitamin E oil conservatively so the burns are capable of getting dry. I did use neosporin the first day just to prevent infection, but after the area is healed and scabs form there is no benefit neosporin can provide to burns. Vitamin E is the necessary additive to prevent scaring.

For very small baby GWs that i noticed i just applied the needle to area which seems to be very effective and almost healed by the 2nd day. Would highly recommend this technique for these situations. Also i had one new GW on upper scrotum that protruded dramatically compared to other new ones. The scrotum does not heal as quickly as the penis, i assume because its such thin skin. For this one i made sure the scrotum was very tight, like when you are cold, and tied a piece of dental floss around the base of the GW, making sure to have entire GW above the knot. I double tied it tight and then applied a match to constricted GW to prevent any spreading of contents. It is now black and dental floss remains.

I am on day two of healing. Some areas are not scabbing and dead skin is starting to dry up. I will let them fall off on their own in time. Two i assume i applied more heat and time and they are dark and scabbed. No pain what so ever. Vitamin E will be a constant part of my life for how ever long it takes because i do not want scarring on my penis, especially the 1 that was on the top mid penis. (also the strangest one, seemed very fleshy, and less warty) I will follow up in a week and let everyone know how my process worked. If this one time treatment works on these mature GWs i will absolutely recommend it to all, because these are the types that are very tough to deal with using the typical AVC and cryo methods. Needing many treatments and putting your penis out of commission for weeks and months at a time. Which is psychologically horrible to deal with.

Sorry for such a wordy post, but during my process of dealing with HPV i found that explanations such as this helped me cope with living with the virus. I hope i can help others. If you have any questions or would like to chat respond to this post, i will check periodically and also update progress weekly.

Im a 21 year old gay male, suffering from anal warts.

As I first found out I had anal warts, the doctor said they appeared quite large and did not want to try freezing or creams. He wanted me to have them surgically removed.

No way I could afford that, or stand the embarrassment.

I read up a bit and started taking vitamins hoping that my body would begin to fight off the virus quicker.

Unfortunately just doing the vitamins wasnt helping a whole lot, so I progressed to using Apple Cider Vinegar.

I tried this method at first but found keeping ACV soaked gauze pads tucked up there was quite uncomfortable and resulted in burning my skin more than the warts.

So I quite my treatment. For a few weeks they only got worse. Then I tried a slightly different approach.

First I went to the store and bought to following:
-Centrum A-Z mulitivitamin
-Vitamin B-12
-Vitamin E pills
-Vitam E skin oil
-Vitamin D
-Compound W Wart freezing tool.
-Large bottle of aspirin
-Apple Cider Vinegar
-I also ordered two different types of elderberry supplements on line but havent received them yet.

First, I froze the warts. I had about 5 really large ones and several smaller ones. The directions said to do them one at a time, but I took a super aggressive approach and froze every one of them. Using about 4 of the 8 treatments that came with it.

Immediately after freezing, I ground up several aspirin tablets with ACV to make a paste. The paste applied much better to the warts and kept me from burning other areas of the skin.

I applied this 6 or more times a day. Always trying to keep a good coat of it on the warts.

Within 1 day, they warts had turned hard and black. By day two some of them were breaking up and falling apart.

Now only the oldest and largest still have remnants left. Im quite confident that keeping up the treatment I'm doing will get rid of them the rest of the way.

My confidence is quickly returning and I'm so happy to finally be getting rid of such an embarrassing problem.

I plan on continuing all of my daily vitamins, plus the elderberry extract for several months in order to help fend of the virus. Who knows, perhaps I can drive it in to deep remissions and never have to worry about it again.

If they do reappear though, I will use this same method. I'm confident that now that I'm armed with this, that if I attack them at the first signs that they are appearing, it will be simple to keep up with them. Whereas I let them grow unchecked for almost a month before I attacked them.

Duct tape is the best cure see results in less than 3 days.For men only,just tape the area where you have the genital warts.Without air the warts will die and when you take off the tape you'll see the warts peeling with it.Apple cider vinegar and all the other remedies do help but are very painful whilst using the tape without pain you'll see results within days.Just keep the taped area dry and change it every 24 hours.

OM goodness ya'll! I will tell you that i was so skeptical of this remedy. BUT, I am now a huge believer in TEA TREE OIL. It cures all! Listen up, I put a cotton ball soaked in TEA TREE OIL for about half an hour. Towards the end it started to burn so I took it off once i couldnt bear it anymore. I noticed the tops of the warts were slightly bleeding. the next day THEY WERE COMPLETELY GONE! It has been a week so far and no signs of reappearance! Now let me warn you. I never had them checked by a doctor. But i self diagnosed since they had been in the same location for a few months. Im almost cmopeltly positive it was HPV. But thank you GOD for tea tree oil!!

Just found a genital warts treatment that finally works for me. It's called Wartscide (hope I spelled it right) and after several other treatments it was the only one that seemed to get rid of my warts.

It stung a little bit when I first applied it but it's the kind of good stinging...not painful but a definite sign that something is working in the warts.

Rather chuffed about it :)

So, I've had GW for about 7 months:( & It is horrible especially when you have to give reasons not to have sex with the person you're with and then they leave you after a couple month. But now I have a boyfriend who is perfect & rather cuddle than have sex:) so it's easier & I don't have to worry about him finding out cause we don't do anything. I've tried ACV, Castor Oil, Tea Tree Oil, ACV w/ Salt(the salt ends up coming off 20 min later. I'm trying Equate Maximum Strength Liquid Wart Remover which has Salicylic Acid(same as Compound W just cheaper) & it burns like hell but if it works it's worth the burning(worse than ACV) I just started this maybe 30 min ago but I will keep all updated so if it works with me it may work for you.

I had a big GW near the entrance of my vagina and two tiny ones above it... I tried regular vinegar on the large one and it got flat almost unnoticeable.. I took a cotton ball soaked with regular vinegar and left it on the large one for about 5-7mins at night for two days in a row... It burns like hell but worth it.. I used Neosporin to soothe the burning feeling and heal the skin as the vinegar caused some redness around the GW... Tomorrow I will try Apple Cider Vinegar on the tiny ones and on the flat one and I will post the outcome... Wish me luck!

Apple cider vinager. This stuff really works people. Just don't over do it. I started treating my warts with it sunday night after work. I used papper towel pieces, sat down in my chair and held it right on the warts.It didn't burn at first, but they all turned white. I thought hmmm maybe it will work. I did it for only 30 mins. Monday night same thing, they turned red that night and then black Tuesaday morning. Tuesday night I treated the skin and the warts with vitamin e oil, straight from the pill (just cut one open and squeeze) slept with it on. Today I wake up still black, but in the shower with a little coaxing 2 of them just came right off. Neosporin today for the redness that was left behind.
Also I have been on a vitamin regimin.
1000mg vitamin c, 50mg zinc, Centrum multi vitamin, and 3 times the recomended dosage of vitamin e, thats the 400 iu soft gels, so 3 of those daily. Take all vitamins with food for maximum absorbtion. Keep your immune system strong and the body will heal.
I belive for every medical problem nature can provide a cure.
If you like hot and spicey foods...use fresh jalapenos, habaneros, serranos, whatever, each hot pepper contains at least 50 times the amount of vitamin c as 1 orange. Another bit of knowledge.. cancer cells treated with capsacin (the chemical that makes the peppers hot) forces cancer cells to kill themselves.
I smoke a pack a day and my immune system is stronger than ever!

Background Info:

22 year old male
~9 warts in clusters of 3 on the shaft

After reading through many posts on this topic, I decided to use the ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) remedy. This remedy does not work for everyone but does seem to have the highest success rate. This remedy worked wonders for myself and I will explain what I used and how they were applied.

Shopping List:
Cotton Balls [$1.49]
Apple Cider Vinegar [$3.69]
Waterproof Medical Tape [$1.99]
Ziplock Bags [$1.39]
Rubbing Alcohol [$1.49]
Total: $10.05

Day 1: Before bedtime, clean the area with rubbing alcohol then cut a cotton ball to fit the area needed. Dip the cotton ball in ACV and hold on the area while you tape with medical tape. Do this as necessary to cover affected areas. Now the ziplock bag is not needed but this is what I did. I placed the ziplock bag on my shaft and ziplocked at the base. The first night the ACV stung a little but I was able to bear the pain and sleep. In the morning the warts were already white. I showered and cleaned the area with rubbing alcohol then went upon my day.

Day 2: Again, the same routine before bed but this time, I only had the ACV applied for about 2 hours then the pain seemed a little to much. The next morning though, the warts were black.

** Did not apply anything for 3 days then by the 5th day, the warts fell off like scabs. I am now wart free and no scars.

Like said earlier, this does not work for everyone, but this did work for me. Hope this was a good description and you find success with this method too.

So, I have genita warts and I noticed them in april of 2010. Started of with 1 and then multipied. I had tiny ones and three big ones around my recctum. They made me feel gross. I came across this site one day ago, and in 24 hours I am genital wart free. I know I still have the virus, but I currentlly have no visual signs of the virus.
All I did was use A C V. I coated them the same night with A C V, taped a A C V coated paper towel to the warts and went to sleep. Washed and did the same thing in the morning. I went to work with the vinegar soaked paper towel in my ultra tight underwear ( I was determined) I came home, used the bathroom and when wiped the warts CAME OFF!!! YAH! A C V really works! I'm going to do a few more treatments just to be on the safe side. This time though, won't wear it to work (even though I think it helped a lot!!

First off, I want to make it clear that the one thing no one seems to mention is that while these remedies may work to get rid of the wart(s), the virus that caused it is still there and therefore you are still able to transmit this to another partner, so USE PROTETCION. Don't knowingly give someone the same shame you once had simply because you do not currently have a 'breakout'.
Secondly, my approach at tackling this was far more barbaric thatn anything I've read here. I'm a male and I first realized I'd gotten this crap gift of warts when I was 20 years old. That was almost 15 years ago and there was no internet to look up home remedies, so my answer, don't cringe, nail clippers. Pain and a LOT of blood and naturally, it came back right away. But, being relentless, I used the nail clippers again, and again, and again, and wouldn't you know, after a few times it never came back. Now that it is 2010, I suggest using a method that is less brutish and save yourself some pain.

i read of a few different home remedies and kinda mixed them all together, but i can promise you it worked and the warts were gone in about 10 days. for the first 3 of 4 days, i would use hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball and apply to the warts 4 times a day for about 10 minutes each time. Then I took dental floss and tied a knot around each one with the intention of suffocating them. I continued to apply the hydrogen peroxide regularly, but also added vitamin E oil in the mornings and at night. It's totally up to you, but i would tighten the knots on the warts slowly, just to make sure the dental floss didn't come off and also to keep the blood flow from getting to the wart itself...eventually they turned black and just came right off. i never once experienced any discomfort.

Hey guys I've also used apple cider vinegar works Here is what I did(I'm a Guy btw):

For Large Stubborn Warts:

They became resistant to ACV(apple cider vinegar) so to counter that I sterilized a needle(lighter + needle til red) and picked at the wart just enough to puncture it from a few sides(make sure you let the needle cool and wipe the burn metal) to let the apple cider soak in easier. Remember once punctured it is contaminated simplify dip the needle in ACV and continue so the virus doesn't spread!

How to secure ACV on warts:
1. medical wrap(self stick to itself)- 4 dollars
2. medical tape - 3 dollars
3. cotton balls - 1 dollar
4. ACV - 4 dollars
5. Needles - 1 dollar
6. Bandaids (for warts not on shaft or hard to reach) - 2 dollars
(all can be purchased at your local Walmart or drug store)

-first, soak a cotton ball with ACV and continue with pre soaking warts.
-next, start isolating cottonballs soaked with ACV and apply to all targeted warts.
-than, take the medical wrap and wrap it around the shaft until it is secure enough to hold all cottonballs in place.
-finally, use medical tape to secure(suggest use only 1 inch strips) you will know why if you've done this enough and tried to wrap tape all around the shaft(PS. this constrains the penis when blood flows = uncomfortable + pain so beware!).

After 3-5 hours or so remove the wrappings save the medical tape for additional use until unusable. And wash your area with soap and water.

Good luck and be wart FREE!

A concern I am having now is now that i'm wart free i still have scars from where the warts use to be how are you guys dealing with that? Is there a way to reduce scars?

i had one show up and it just got worse and worse. i was dignosed with hpv about 6 yrs ago and it was the strand that causes cancer so i was extremely sad when i bump showed up. i went to my gyno and the didnt know if it was just a ingrown hair or a hpv wart, they burnt it off with the acid and it didnt hurt nor turn white so they didnt know what it was. they acid removed it but it came back bigger and worse. i went and bought dr.s w remover to use cause i read all of the peoples statesments swearing by it..i looked in my medicine cabient and saw that i have citric acid 10% and was like shoot let me try that before i risk scaring and its working withing mins it was strinking and disappearing!! yaayyyy, this whole time i had the treatment in my fridge!

I am surprised no one has posted this yet, but this is something I've tested and found to work very well for removal of genital warts.

If any of you have been to a physician for treatment or removal of your g.warts, you will most likely have experienced cryocautery (or cryotherapy).

An easy and cheap alternative is to use those pressurized dusters used on electronics (keyboards etc). These can be found at your nearest fry's or best buy.
Make sure to check the contents, the one I am using are just simple refrigerant and dimethyl ether found in common wart removing kits.

Just turn the can upside down and carefully spray (with the tubed nozzle) in bursts on your wart. Don't go crazy on your sessions, it's better to hit a few warts at a time and return within a few days for another round.

Keep a good schedule going until they've all been removed.

T again
So its day 2
I was gonna do the acv nightly but i looked at some pics online and got so agitated i just couldn't do nothing.
So today- no work today- i did the acv again for 3 hrs. omg it hurt. it hurt even more than yesterday!!! I took it off after 3 hrs as i couldn't stand it. so i showered, hydrogen peroxided the whole area and then applied vit e
the shocker is some of them are grey- im assuming going black like you guys said. and some of them just have a hole where the top used to be, but i can see in the hole is still white.
ITS WORKING.... and fast too
i have one area where the wart is white but all around it is swollen. I figure that area has the virus too
Im taking a rest till tom night so I dont scar myself accidentally
And im probably gonna keep doing it till 2 things happen
1 they all go away then
2 it stops burning as my research said acv hurts only infected areas. (I checked when i realized I could feel some areas really burning compared to the normal smarting in unaffected areas).
Today i added one odd thing to my list prenatal vitamins...........
I'm not pregnant but part of my immune issue is i have no white blood cells and few red blood cells and my body like retains no iron at all so im always really poorly. Yeah the same doc has been baffling with it for 2 yrs since we realized after testing. I obviously need a new doctor.
Anyway
folic acid and iron are super imp in women so the prenatals have like 200% of each plus extras of the normal stuff.
Im hoping that will boost my system up to normal as i couldn't find the egcg anywhere i went today
Im gonna try and update daily in hopes it helps someone else. If this works for me it can cure anyone as I have a really low immune sys.

My cousin had genital warts last year. And at first, we don't have any idea how we can solve or treat her genital warts. We went to our city herbal doctor and asked for any home remedies/natural treatment for my cousin's case. Our herbal doctor recommends my cousin to try the Tea Tree Oil. Well, at first it's okay but after 2-3 weeks, my cousin started to complain because her infected skin of genital warts were getting itchy and starting to get more redness. Apparently on that day, my auntie visited us and also to check my cousin's condition. When she knew about what happen on my cousin, she immediately went home and get the cream called 'Zerowarts Oxyfend'. We don't have any option but to try it. Since our auntie assured us the effectiveness of this cream on treating genital warts. We get surprise, how fast and effective this Oxyfend cream is. For about 6 days, my cousin's genital warts gone totally and looks the skin were not suffered with a serious illness. Great Oxyfend Cream!

I'm asian and im 21, I live in Asia. Two months ago I noticed I had something like pimples on my vagina area I was like Oh this must be just pimples or something so I scratched them so hard ! bleeding and they were bigger and bigger and spread around that area I must do something ! I searched on the internet about it in my language ! I swear no one in my country posted any useful things or talked about ACV , they all just knew Aldara and most of them went to the hospital but I was very ashamed and I tried searching things in English ! I found this site ! I felt so much better when i just read and havnt tried anything yet :D I was so down I thought life was about to end and Why me ! I got myself sick but then ? we need to fight with it !

I got 3-4 GW on the opening of my vagina I got a very very big and fleshy one [3cm], I tried Crushed Garlic first :x it burnt like hell and smell soooo bad I stopped when warts looked so swollen , from my research i was sure i wouldn’t want to try ACV alone :D it must be too painful so I tried it with Crushed Aspirin , Castor oil and ACv , Nice paste tbh just put them on your warts then they ll turn white and then grey and black and fell off !! i was so happy when i saw them fell off ! dont pull them I did everything very gently and make it clean ! I always cleaned my vagina with hydrogen peroxide. They would fall off within a week [more or less] after that you can use any nice cream to heal your wound , I used Aloe vera gel [pure one] they looked better in two days became pink and all good :D I promised myself if this worked i would write down my story here and translated many many stuffs into my language and post one in my language too ! this is gonna be very useful ! ACV is not in every store like in The US but lucky me i live in the city.

Try hard to boost your immune system and fight with it My first outbreak happened when my immune system was very low , i got drunk too often and got sick very sick :xx

Good luck everyone
Thanks this site and Thanks God i Know english
I might end up worse if i didnt know english

I found this site a few days ago and a lot of the tips were helpful. I am a 20 yr old female and a few months ago.around October I was taking a naughty picture for a Guy I have been dating and notice a small.skin ta.g it was really close to my anus. It was tiny and I just ripped it off. A month before that a similar tag but it had went away so I thought nothing of it. Idk at the time that genital warts could be pulled off or just go away so assumed they were skin tags. I realized I had 2 more warts a few days ago. One in the same area near my anus but on the other side and one right under my vagina opening. I opened my vagina and saw I had small warts forming in the opening today. :( however because of the texture right here its nit really noticeable but still its gross. I read a bunch of tips on here and this is how I got rid of my warts. I know fir sure theses are warts now because I had sex with a former fuck buddy I hadn't eloped with since last winter and I noticed after we had sex he had flat warts two on the pubic region and one flat one on his shaft. I know I got these from him.

HERE'S HOW I GOT RID OF MY WARTS TODAY. First off I got some apple cider vinegar for about $3 at gnc the bragg brand its supposed to ne really good. I already had aloe vera gel on hand a needle qtips and a lighter so I only spent $3. I soaked the 2 warts by holding a qtip dipped in acv on them for about 30 minutes. My warts did not turn colors like other ppls did and it didn't burn me at all really either like everyone was saying so I started to get hardcore. A heated up the eye of a needle for about 25 seconds with a lighter until it turned bright red let it cool off a few seconds. I pulled my skin really taut and held the needle on the wart until it cooled down. I repeated this about 5 times until the entire wart was black. Then I took a good pair of tweezers and started pulling the burnt wart off. It really did not hurt as bad as I expected. Yank it hard and fast. It started bleeding so I dipped a qtip in peroxide and put it on the wart and it started bubbling doing its work. I pullled the rest of the wart off in pieces cleanin w/ perioxide as I went. The other wart right under my vadge opening was really tiny so I didn't burn it cuz I didn't want to burn my skin. So I ripped off what I could and cleaned it with the perioxide. Then I followed up with another application of acv. This time it burned but not for very long. Then I coated the warts w/ aloe vera gel. U can't even tell I have warts now!! Also I started taking b vitamins 3 days ago I got them buy one get one free at cvs. I also take a hair skin and nail vitamin that has antioxidants b vitamins, iron, zinc all the stuff ppl said helps ur body fight these stupid things. I will update u on my progress! I would also like to mention I did not touch the warts with anything but tweezers and qtip don't touch them.

I'm trying tea tree oil soaked in a cotton ball. I dabbed some onto the wart directly with a Qtip, then I soaked some cotton balls in it and placed them over the warts and taped it with duck tape. I don't know how well this is going to work. I'm also taking immune boosting pills with Elderberry in it twice a day and 6 garlic pills a day (3 in the am, 3 in the pm). I'm hoping it won't take long for this to work. I can't do pain at all, so I'm not even gonna try the ACV. I tried to put some garlic cloves on my vag but the burning was still too much for me to handle so I took them out and washed my self. I'll post back to let you know how the tea tree oil and pills work.

Okay so before I tell you what is working for me your going to have to hear a story.

In nov of 09 after not having sex since may I started to have this really weird tingling sensation. The problem would come and go and jump around to different areas and I had no bumps or anything so I thought it was all in my head at many points. I went to a doctor and had an STD test done but was afraid to tell the doctor of my problem. The tests all came back negative. the problem still remained and got bad again in January. finally I went to a doctor and told them the problem. for over a month they tested me for everything under the sun with no results... finally an OBGYN took a biopsy and it came back HPV, even though these were a-typical symptoms. by the time I got the results the feeling had gone away and would only come on about one a week for a few minutes or an hour so since HPV goes away on his own he told me not to do anything and sent me on my way. Then not to long after the symptoms started coming back... not near as bad and not for as long... finally wanting to get rid of this feeling and get rid of HPV as soon as possible I decided to look up home remedies.

The ACV worked the best to stop my atypical symptoms but after not to long the feeling came back. the feeling finally localized itself to one spot so i tried vitamin C method(DO NOT TRY THIS, This burned a tiny hole!)... I was at a loss.

Then I saw someone said they were drinking 5-hour energy and that helped. So I tried it and I definitely felt some what better but not completely better. Then a couple of days ago I was on the road and decided to get an energy drink, after just a few sips and a few minutes I felt completely better! Completely! However this didn't last long, so once I got off the road I got another and the same thing happened! I was reading the label and I saw all the vitamins and health stuff in these (even with all the sugar). I also have been taking a vitamin combo everyday, 1 vitamin c pill, a multi vitamin, and 2 vitamin e pills. Now i'm drinking about 2 energy drinks a day in addition to that. I think this helped a lot! A LOT! If you get as desperate as I was what have you got to lose?

First off, thank you to whoever reads this story. I am very thankful to how this has helped my life and will do anything possible to help you in the same way. In my opinion, it is a miracle. My girlfriend is in awe, and I thank god everyday. My cell phone and email are at the bottom, so please call or write as I am here to help.

I have had visible, good sized genital warts for around 2 years now.. They have gotten worse over time (more of them and larger) but I have always been too shy and havent had the money to go to doctor to get them burned off... I did go online and buy healing natural oils, Heal Warts, and put it on 3 times a day like it says for 2 straight months (an entire bottle worth) and it never worked... My girlfriend did go to doctor and they gave her Aldara creme but she had hers burned off so she gave me the presription, and I put the creme on for 5 doses worth (which they say should do the job) but I never saw any improvement... My next step was going to be to go online and fake my way into getting a presription for I think it is called Condylox (the stuff that, from what everyone has said online at all the places I have read about warts, works, but leaves horrible pain and usually scarring).... I was desperate though and these things were getting worse... my only options left were going to a doctor and having them lasered off (which I was way embarresed about and is very expensive and I have no health insurance) or I could get the script online and have serious pain and burning using that gel... ugh, howd this happen?

The miracle: I have bad back pains, so I visited a family doctor in Harrisonburg, VA where I live... she recommended a chiropractor and said if I was open minded, to try this new functional health drink that she said some of her patients were experiencing incredible results with... It's made with a fruit from thailand and the company is 9th largest in US history yet only 6 years old... OK, I would do anything to get rid of my pain... and if my doctor says it's helping other people, then why not, I'm an open minded person...

Long story short, 2 weeks later, my back was feeling slightly better, but what was amazing is my warts were literally 50% smaller. I never told my doctor I had the warts, just told her about my back pain, and I never even thought about my warts while taking drinking a shot of this stuff 3 times a day.
4 weeks into taking this stuff, my warts were about 75% smaller and some started to disapear completely. My girlfriend literally at this point thought it was a miracle. 8 weeks in, the warts are almost completely gone. You visibly can barely see them at all. I am now at my 12 week mark and I have had none coming back. I have never felt better, and thank god for this fruit that someone decided to put in a drink and sell to people. I honestly have never been so happy in my life. And to think, all I was trying to do was get my back to stop hurting... Isn't it funny how things fall into place sometimes?

I spent hours upon hours online reading peoples stories and how they have dealt with HPV. I felt obligated at this point to get online and post my story to as many people as I can. Even if only one of you benefits from this and I help you heal your HPV without the pain and scarring of conventional medicines and surgery, or I save one of you from wasting your money on the so called 'natural' ways of healing, I will feel like I did something great for someone else.

Please call or email me anytime, share your story with me if you would like, or simply ask me to share with you the product that has given me more than I ever could have imagined without even knowing.

Thanks and God bless, I look forward to helping you in the near future...

Hi
Its an aged male. I also had GW which were discovered by me after a year of my breakup with my last girl friend. I hadn't tried any thing on them but asked a closed fried in my home country. He took 100 ml simple mustard oil from market and gave to a sacred and noble saint lady who just recited some holy recites and blew on the oil. You all people wouldn't believe that i just massage once with that oil and the small GW gone stopped growth and started to minimize. Unfortunately i couldn't massage again with that oil. Its been about one year and these GW are still present but no one can recognize them as GW because they are gonna be smaller day by day and almost gonna be disappear soon. I can ask these holy recites whom you can be recited from any of the noble male or female near to you.

I realised I had g warts and went straight to the GP. I HAVE NEVER HAD UNPROTECTED SEX! I CONTRACTED WARTS EVEN THOUGH I USED A CONDOM AND THEY WERE NOT VISIBLE ON EITHER OF MY SEXUAL PARTNERS!- (i have only had 2). The GP confirmed my diagnosis that I had 4 very very small warts on the perinium (the bit inbetween your bum and vagina) but they were quite close to the vaginal opening. They did not hurt at first but were VERY painful after sex if they were disturbed.

My G.P sent me to a GUM clinic and I wnt twice to have them frozen off, this worked but they came back the week after and were slightly larger. The GUM clinic was very far away from my house and not very reliable as i coudnt always get there.

I got rid of my warts within 2-3 weeks at home very easily and this is how :

I froze the warts with CRYOSPRAY VERRUCA AND WART REMOVER FREEZE SPRAY (£7 off ebey). This was not painful just very cold. Once a very large wart bled a little bit bit it did not hurt.

After freezing the warts i applied BAZUKA gel (£5 from the chemist) BUT this is very painful UNLESS you:

Mix the gel with anaestetic cream or a misturizer so you are diluting it (optional, but I would reccomend for first application).

Only apply to the wart try not to get it on the surrounding skin.

ALWAYS ALWAYS do it sat on the toilet with a jug of cool water... the gel WILL start to burn and this is excruciating for a minute or so if you do nothing BUT if you slowly pour the cool water over it it will instantly stop the burning, and dry the gel (like when you put newly varnished nails in cold water) it will not wash it off.

I repeated this between 1 and 3 times per day for 14 days (i missed some days) and the warts dissapeared. One reappeared once, and disappeared after 1 application of freezing and gel... it has not returned after 6 months.

ALSO I take a multivitamin with iron(£1 from tescos for a tub full) every day, and eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. This prevents breakouts.

Good luck , your not alone x

Gentail warts

I had gential warts i was so puked out by the look of them i went by a doctor and she told me what they were at that time she told me to use Aldara but that didnt work so i went up on a site and i saw Castrol oil i tried it. every time i bathe i use the castro oil on them it even stopped the irratating itch and instead of puttin a plaster i put on a panty sheen or pad cause it covers everything up. When i go to the toilet and wiped with toilet paper i start seeing the warts coming out on it. It was a Miracle. So i can say to use castro oil. Make sure to eat garlic or take garlic pills it helps fight back the virus .

After suffering from genital warts for about 6 months, trying all kinds of home remedies which are listed on here,(Vit E, garlic, tee tree oil, duck tape,dr schols, ACV etc..) doctors visits, and basically hitting rock bottom for a cure I finally found it and it's the ONLY thing that works so save yourself the suffering and just do it. Wartrol - you can only buy it online with a credit card, its descreetly packaged and shipped and wont even show on your credit card statement. Price is ~ 75$ for 2 month supply. Everyone says not to scratch or cut the wart, sorry guys but dont listen to that. Heres what you do. (I had ~4 small warts on the outer lip of my vag.) 1. Buy The Wartrol (it's the only think that works FAST) , 2 take a hot shower or Bath is even better. Use a new razor to shave over the warts, i ran the razor over it about 10 times to cause the wart to almost be scratched a little. Soak or spray the area with HOT water (the hotter the better- warts HATE HEAT) immediately after you get out and dry off spray the wartrol directly on the area where the warts are. Also use as directed (2 sprays under tounge 3x's/day). In 1 week they were GONE and I was happy. I will have you know that i stopped using it after they dissapeared and started to feel a little itchy like they were comming back so i started using it again and the itchyness went away. I havent stopped using it since.(3 months) Just a spray or 2 under your tounge twice a day. It says that after 4-6 months of use the hpv virus goes dormant and 85% of people never see them again. (Thats what i'm hoping for)All I know is i have no warts anymore and right now thats all i care about. Good Luck and Seriously..save yourself the pain, suffering, and stress and just order the wartrol, it was my life saver.

OK, I guess it's time to buy apple cider vinegar and aspirin and vitamins and minerals and cotton balls. I already have the olive oil and garlic. Thank you very much for giving me the impulse to do something more constructive than ripping them off!

I do have one question though. What can I do about the warts just inside the opening of my vagina? I'm freaked out that they may be on my cervix too and I WILL go to the obgyn. I've had pap smears before and I plan on getting them regularly. I've always been responsible about it, I've read about cervical cancer and how important pap smears are since I was 18. But I don't want to have the visible warts on the outside on my vulva when I do that.

No, it's not rational. Yes, it's incredibly stupid. I KNOW. I basically want to go for my next papsmear and act like I didn't know anything about it because I feel incredibly ashamed of not going to the doctor earlier.

I first noticed the warts in December when my immune system was really weak and at first I had a hard time believing it was HPV because the last time I had sex was February. Of 2010! That was incidentally the ONLY time in my life I've EVER had intercourse. And it was protected to the point of paranoia, I was worried the condom was slipping and we changed it. I had a couple of other partners before, but I've literally kept my pants my whole life except on this one night. (I'm not even religious or anything, just... neurotic).

The outside warts have gone down a bit lately (I eat a lot better than I used to three months ago, my nutrition has improved considerably), the ones I scrapped off and swabbed with peroxide regularly seem to be gone for now, but I don't want to do that since I know it's just temporary and there's still a risk of spreading them further even if there's barely a couple visible ones left on the vulva (they were never very many or very big). But I'm scared of putting freaking ACID on the opening of my vagina. So I think I may fake ignorance about those when I go the doctor unless someone has a temporary remedy for vagina-opening warts that doesn't include burning your extremely sensitive skin down there. Anyone?
