My dr. said it's a myth and it doesnt work. I was trying but it irritated the crap out of my down there. I'm not sure if I'm right and wrong. As for the seeming of thousands. Vinegar is used to make warts appear. So that could be why:p It shows them. They turn white under vinegar.

As far as the Dr.s and looks. They are Dr.s. Trust me they have seen worse sweetie. There are a lot more icky std's then gw. Take it from a gal who had a herpes scare this week. Most people get hpv in their lives. More people have it than not, so don't feel so bad. Just get the treatment you need. I promise nobody is judging you and if they are screw them. There are a lot worse things in life to have. Hugs*

Well the doctor can say what they want... mine is gone. that's all the proof i needed to bust it.

So sorry bout the herpes scare, so glad it was only a scare!

So true that there's worse STD's out there.

It does indeed burn like hell, but i just kept telling myself just a bit longer and that the burning was getting rid of it. indeed like i wrote in a previous post, i had an ACV blister but it's gone now aswell as the pesky little critters. just 1 left to go

I just started using Wartamine (ACV as main ingredient, together with Vit E). And yes it burns like hell, I cry everytime I put it on. But it does wonder as the warts finally fall off after 3days. I hope it wont recur. As for now, I'm taking care of the treated part, hopefully it will heal fast.

As a woman, it's really difficult to treat the warts as they often grow on difficult-to-reach part. How do you deal with this?

Hi Bieb, it's been two months since i last posted about my ACV treatment. Well everything is looking fine except the biggest one that fell off started again ... so i treated it the day before yesterday and this morning it was gone again with a little hole where it use to be ... grrr thats nasty

Anyhoo ACV treatment might not have gotten too the root last time therefore i think the re occurance or just unlucky. In the end i'm well happy that i've gotten to learn about this treatment as I find it the most effective from everything i've tried.

As a female I know how difficult it can be treating things down there with the level of visibily we have down there without doing a manoeuvre that belongs in the circus.
The best method that I have found and that works best is to sit on the bed (on top of a towel) with my back and my head against the headbord (and move down a bit like you're visiting the gynae), I received a neat little mirror with my waticon treatment (didn't work for me at all - only made them bigger) that flips open and stands on its own but you can position a small sized mirror with the aid of the towel and then you would have both hands free to do inspection/ treatment.

I'm really glad this worked for you and would also like to know if there's others that have tried/tested the ACV types of treatments out there!

Just a question to clarify, how long are you supposed to hold the ACV to the wart??? Also, mine are in my anal region, will the ACV work in this area too? Can this treatment be combined with the cyro treatment?

Thanks!!

HJK00 well it depends on how long you can hold out.
There's a lot of options as well, some people wipe it 2 or 3 times a day (days on) with ACV but I've personally found being able to hold the soaked piece of cotton wool there for 30min up to an hour and then be sure to have Vit E oil or Tissue oil on hand and use as much as you like and as many times (it helps a lot with the healing). It usually takes one or two treatments and then the buggers turn black, you'll also see that by the 2nd day when wiping there's pieces of it (the wart) on the toiletpaper and when you have a look there would be a little hole where it was. (usually the happiest time of the treatment) :) I'm not sure if you can do it in conjuction with the cyro but won't see why not. Give it a try and plz let us know. Good Luck!

Okay, day 1 with the ACV and the visible ones turned white and there were new ones that turned white after the vinegar that weren't there before, more updates to come.

Day 2 with the ACV-- before the ACV I had about 6 or 7 visible little ones (well I think they were little, probably the size of a flattened poppy seed) and one larger one that was double the size of the little ones. (I think I have it pretty bad compared to everyone else here) But I tried the ACV twice today (once in the morning and once at night, followed by the vit. e. oil) and now it seems that every pore around my anus is white like a wart, either they were warts before but just had not emerged yet or they are just irritated pores, not too sure, freaking out a little, but two of them are starting to turn black.

Anyone with experience with ACV had common symptoms after treatments??? Let me know what you think!!

Hi hjk00, I used wartamine (ACV + vit E) before and it stung quite badly down there. I even burn the surrounding skin because I was so desperate to remove the warts I applied the solution several times per day and left the cotton ball for more than 2 hours. It was one of the most diificult times in my life. But the skin healed anyway, n down there look like nothing ever happened. Its been a month now and no recur. Thank God! Hope my immune system strong enough to fight the virus. Good luck to you! :)

Yep they do turn white and looks like they get a tinier bigger initially (and quite scary as you can see future problems but don't panic!! the ACV will work!! and get rid of them as well - even quicker than the bigger ones), then they turn black (it's cause the ACV destroys it and cuts of the blood supply and it litterally dies - yeah!!) :)

We should keep in mind that the ACV also burns the good skin, thats why everything else also feels so tender and sore and might turn white without bumps... just keep up with the ACV and Vit E oil and before you know it they're gone and the neither reagion has healed and looks better than ever.

I am so ecstatic that this cheap home remedy is working!

Look What I've found on other support groups regarding ACV - I'll post them As I stumble upon them :)

No to Aldara - how I naturally got rid of my "bumps"

Postby gotit Sat May 29, 2010 5:15 pm
I just wrote about my experience under personal experiences, but I'd like to compile the tips that I learned for beating this naturally, and why these things work.

First off, I experienced my wart because my immune system was compromised - I'm a daily marijuana smoker. No alcohol, no cigarettes, no meat, I stay away from sugar and pesticides, I exercise. BUT - excessive use of anything can be unhealthy, especially something that certain tests say can cause immune system problems (mj). If you want to beat it, stop smoking, stop drinking, take care of yourself! Here's what I did:

Boosted my immune system with elderberry extract, a multi-vitamin, drank green tea daily, took reishi/maitake/shiitake extract, ate more fruits and vegetables, especially orange food - mangos, carrots, oranges - beta-caroteen is important!
I used crushed aspirin with apple cidar vinegar on the wart, used castor oil to heal the area.

Details about burning it off:
Crush a tablet of aspirin, make a paste with the acv, (you can add castor oil if you want), apply to wart, leave on overnight.
Yes, it burns. ALOT. The next day I would wake up to discover that layers of my healthy skin were peeling off as well as the afflicted area. (The location made it so that I had to treat the healthy skin too). Some days I would wake up to find blood in areas that I should never see blood in. This was when I applied the castor oil to heal. Castor oil was my miracle worker. But, keep in mind, that first you have to burn through a layer, let that layer peel off, THEN apply the castor oil to heal the new skin. If you put the castor oil on the skin that you're trying to burn off, it'll just heal back up and stay on you and reverse the hard work you just did.

The way that warts work is that there's many layers, below the surface as well. So I repeated this process until I had burned through about 5-6 layers of the wart - then I saw what must have been the root. During the days I would rub just apple cidar vinegar on the area - it doesn't burn as much on healthy skin, so that's indicative of where your trouble spots are even if you can't see them. Once I hit the root I burnt through another layer, then wiped away the dead skin and the root came out with a gush of blood. That last gush of blood is when you know you got it, it's a good thing!

Keep in mind though - don't mutilate yourself! The aspirin is salicylic acid which is in all wart removal - when you combine it with the acid of acv, it become super potent. Give your body a break to heal in between treatments. This whole process took me about a month. After irritating the area, make sure your immune system is strong enough to heal it, or else you won't go very far.

Castor oil works for healing the damaged skin - AND - for preventing the hpv virus to spread while the wart is exposed. That's why they put it in wart removal medicines as well.

The aldara was going to cost me $300 - this treatment cost me less than $10 (not including the supplements). It does work, patience and perseverence, you can beat it too! Boost your immune system first, and you'll make it to the end bump free.

cheers!
