Dear Friends,

After free from the virus for 4 months, yesterday I found 1 small bump. Devastated, I went to my gynae n he told me it's not looking like wart but more to healed scars (previously I opt to circumcise to remove my GW and I had a terrible infection out of it).

For me, I 'm still seeing it as warts as it look like one. I bought ACV and applies it yesterday n there seem to be no changes today. May I know how long it will take to eliminate GW with ACV? Please assist me dear friend and God bless you guys.

Soak a cotton ball in the ACV then tape onto the area right before you go to bed and it should fall off over night. It'll burn like hell, and it helps if you get some kind of topical numbing agent. It sounds gross but um... I found out via an adult store that they have a product called Anal-ease. The clerk reccomended it to me to take away the sting of waxing, because it numbs the area for quite some time. I got the bright idea to use this just before the ACV, then wipe it clean after it goes into effect and apply the acv. Good luck. Might take a couple nights to work.

I'm confused as to this "falling off" that people say happens. I can't tell if mine is still there or not because I completely destroyed the whole area and it's just a mess down there right now. I did it overnight one night and couldn't tell if it was still there the next morning. Then I did a night of tee tree oil. Still no idea. And then another night of acv and it made things worse. At this point I know I should just leave the area alone but it's so hard to. What types of reactions have other people had with acv?

missmandii,

thank you for your advice. really appreciate it.

Violet26,

for me, no much different i can see but the skin gets dark since ACV burns it. I'll pray for you, not to worry as we are here to take care of each other. :)

@ violet, definately let it heal. I have found over the months of using it that some areas are more tender than others (obviously) and need to be treated more gently. Also your skin could be more sensitive. I had one in a very sensitive spot where the skin is very thin, and it did seem to kind of leave my skin very raw, and took several day to heal. I would recommend letting it heal, and keep some neosporin on it. Then when its healed, go back and try again, but this time just leave the ACV on for a couple hours at a time, not overnight. This method is slower, but more gentle on your skin. After you take the acv off wash the area with anti-bacterial soap and a piece of gauze and scrub vigorously but gently, this will slowly take off layers that the acv has softened.
