Removal of Warts
|
The successful removal of warts using apple cider vinegar has been the subject of many testimonials scattered throughout the net.
Most who have tried it have nothing but praise when describing how effective and quick this home remedy has worked for them. And in many cases this success comes after trying many other procedures involving duct tape, freezing kits, compound w, as well as over the counter (OTC) medications containing salicylic acid.
The apple cider vinegar treatment for warts works, and that is great news because warts are the second most common dermatological complaint right after acne. So it's nice to have an inexpensive natural home remedy for such a common problem.
Warts are actually benign skin tumors that can occur alone or in large packs on just about any part of the body. They are caused by a virus, the human papilloma virus (HPV), which enters the body through tiny cuts and breaks in the skin. Most people will experience one at one time in their lives usually on the back of the hand or fingers (common warts) or on the sole of the foot (plantar warts).

I had a nasty, deep plantar wart on the bottom of my big toe (the arched underside area between the foot and where the big toe is).
For two years I had the doctor freeze it off on numerous occasions and it came back time and time again. I also tried every over the counter acid wart remover and even tried the "duct tape method" and nothing worked...it came back each time worse than before. I spent several hundred dollars and got nowhere.
Recently I discovered that the main, deep painful wart had spread to two smaller tiny ones near it on the pad of my big toe as well, so I read this website.
I then began every night at bedtime saturating a cotton ball with ACV and then putting it directly on the warts using a fairly tight band aid to keep it secure on the warts. By the second night it was throbbing terribly and I had a hard time toughing it out but I continued and when I could tolerate it, I even saturated a fresh cotton ball with ACV during the day also.
Sometimes the pain was so bad I had to skip either day or night but I kept at it. Within a few days, the warts began to turn black and even shriveled a bit. Occasionally I took an entire 24 hour period "off" with no ACV treatment, let the warts dry up and crust over a bit, and I scaled some of the dead skin off with a file or cuticle clippers, taking care to disinfect each time.
After a couple of weeks of this cycle, the warts were completely gone for the first time in two years.
I have now been plantar wart free for a month!!!!

Had plantar wart on ball of right foot.
Tried Compound W and another similar of bandage, did nothing but burnt off surrounding skin. Podiatrist suggest visit to dermatologist to freeze it.
Came across this site and tried ACV soaks a couple of times, plus overnight ACV bandages. It turned dark within a week (after considerable pain). In week two, top skin came off with some fluid, then it looked like a crater and started to heal.
Week 3 no treatment, skin became itchy for few days. Now I've been wart-free and back to running and tennis pain-free.
Thanks!

I had many warts on my feet (swam a lot) when I was a kid. They all went away except for one. It's been there for about 15 years. I have tried a number of treatments, to no avail.
For the past 4 weeks I have put ACV and bandaids on the wart while I sleep. It has been getting smaller and smaller, but for the past few days has been extremely painful. But I am committed to see if this will work for me, and I HAVE seen consistent shrinking of the wart and the black spots that show something's working. As long as something's happening, I figure it's working.
For a wart that's been there for a LONG time (like mine), there's a good chance the process will take longer than the lucky ones who experience success after a few days/a week. But hang in there!! : )
If it completely disappears... I'll be so happy.

Hey here is my wart experience. All I can say is I hope I never go through it again...
Started with one little wart for a few years on my pinky toe. I tried many times to get rid of it with Acyclic acid and the duct tape method but nothing worked. Fortunately it didn't hurt so at least I could live with it.
Later I began working as a diver and my feet stayed wet for long periods...all of a sudden I had 5 warts, and the original was huge. One was growing right under a toenail and making life miserable.
I knew I had to do something. After seeing a few doctors I somehow knew that they weren't going to be able to do anything.
The first 2 week application of acv did everything that I read. They turned black. The pain was at times unbearable and I had to stop. By the time I healed one had vanished, but it seemed like one (the mother-ship) had increased in size.
Because of the pain with ACV I went with turmeric next. It did seem to work a little but after 1 month I decided to switch back to ACV. This application again turned them black and hurt like no ones business. But, no luck and I gave up for the pain to let the surrounding skin heal a bit.
Next was garlic. I developed large blisters especially where it leaked to the surrounding skin. After two (painful) applications I was a free man.
Good luck with the fight.

I had a plantar warts on my foot for 3 months.
I tried salicylic acid, it doesn't work, until I came to this site and found out how people are happy about the magic of apple cider vinegar.
I have treated my wart for 2 weeks now and its gone! I still continue to treat my foot for another few days just to make sure that the virus is dead.
Thank you so much for the people who shared their experiences it helps a lot! May God bless you all!

Ok...I tried the ACV for several months on my foot (the wart has been there about 10 years about the size of a pencil eraser) and yes, I did try getting it burned off at an earlier time but I could hardly walk for several days etc.
I kept a band aid on it and it turned black etc. but it was not removed. I continued doing this for about two - three months daily with a band aid.
Then I started using vitamin e capsules and have been using them daily with a band aid (don't want anyone to catch it) for the past 8 MONTHS. Yes I have been trying to get rid of it and was determined to do so regardless of how long it took! Finally it is gone. There are no dots and the skin appears to be healed.
Maybe for some it works right away but for others it does not. Who knows why? Anyway I committed to come on here and give the results when there was some. It took a LONG time!!!!

Hey, well so far this is great! I'm pretty young and a swimmer so I've had lots of warts.
A particularly tough wart I've had is a plantar wart on the side of my pink toe.
I have tried everything and I never liked making my parents spend money on my problems so I saw this and went to the store and bought some ACV!
So far its been great, my wart is already turning black and I haven't had much pain....yet. But that's OK because I am an unusually tough kid for 13 and I can cope pretty well.
I suggest this to anyone who wants to get rid of a trouble wart but from what I read you should probably be pretty tough!
I'll post back in a few days on my progress.

Applied apple cider vinegar for three different two week trials on a long-term clump of warts on one foot.
The first trial was painful and the warts seemed to be obliterated after turning black. After several weeks of healing, the warts started to regrow.
The 2nd trial was not painful but the warts were not hardly affected.
For the third follow up, the skin around the warts peeled off but the warts remained completely unaffected.
I have had no success at removing this clump of warts with acid, freezing, various oils, and other remedies.

After having my plantar wart for 3 years I have tried everything you can think of, then I came across this website.
I figured I've tired everything else why not this.
It was so painful but I kept to it but I did take a break for a day and after 5 days I started picking at it and it fell out.
I was so excited, I'm going to kept at it for about a week after like everyone says but I'm so happy.
It was painful so if you can't handle pain you might not want to try it but its well worth the pain in the end.

Can't believe how successful it was against the wart in the first three days.
I have had a massive wart on my thumb for a year, I have tried duct tape, banana skins, homeopathy, freezing, cauterizing, surgery, nothing worked. The duct tape made the wart smaller but took to long and irritated my skin too much.
Then I came across this site and thought why not I have nothing to loose. Well it has been around 7 days since I first started the treatment, the first day the wart throbbed and woke me up in the night because of the pain. Over the next three days it slowly turned completely black, yesterday the black bit fell off and left a big crater.
However, it doesn't look like the ACV attacked all of the wart as only half seems to have gone black and fallen off. I was so happy that it had fallen off but now I think maybe the wart is immune now to ACV the part which did not fall off seems to be growing back.
I am really hoping that it doesn't all grow back, even a smaller wart would be better than the massive ugly thing I had before. People start to notice a plaster on your hand every day for a year!
Apple-cider-vinegar-benefits.com - Don’t give up on apple cider vinegar just yet. What has happened doesn’t mean the wart is “immune” to ACV. We strongly recommend that you continue the wart treatment for a few weeks, as it sometimes takes longer for the vinegar to destroy more “established” parts of a wart and its “roots”.

We tried apple cider vinegar on our 7-year-old son's toes, plantar warts.
We included a few drops of lemon oil and tea tree oil, and simply wet the gauze square on a plaster (band-aid). We changed the plaster daily.
He experienced no pain, and the smaller warts turned black and fell out within two days.
The larger one took longer, but turned black just as swiftly.
Brilliant!

It is actually working!!
I had 2 planter warts on my right foot. After the first week they all turned black and now I am on week 2. I still have black/scab-like bumps on my foot, but they are getting smaller and the wart is healing!! :)
I am so happy that this method is working! It is cheap and effective. However, the pain has woken me up a few times over night.
ACV is a great treatment!

I'm a little late with my testimonial, but i had to come back and pay homage to this site!
I had countless plantar warts on my feet that had started as one and spread over 5 or 6 years. After trying to use over the counter treatments, all that happened was that they spread to my fingers! I had them on my feet and 6 on my hands! It was so embarrassing, and so I decided to try to use the vinegar.
I started while on break from college, in June. I would soak cotton balls and secure them to my feet and hands with band-aids over night, and then take it off in the morning. the pain was awful, and some days i had to skip because i could barely walk.
Because the warts were years old, they were really embedded into the skin, so it took longer than usual. By the end of august, it seemed that they were too persistent and would never go away. When I went back to school in august, I stopped using the treatment. I'm not sure if it was from vigorous use and then a break from it or what, but 1-2 weeks into the school year I noticed that my fingers were really starting to clear and one part of my foot was completely clear!
In the following days, my feet and hands cleared up completely. It was like a miracle, I still cant believe after all those years of embarrassing warts, they are now GONE!
I urge you to try this. It is SO worth the pain, and so inexpensive. IT WILL WORK. If it could clear up my awful case of warts, I'm positive it can work for anybody.
TRY IT!!! And a huge THANK YOU to this site!

All I have to say is that I can't believe how well this stuff actually works.
I seriously cannot believe it. I used it for five days applying to the area with a cotton ball and leaving overnight.
Today is day six, and the wart is completely gone. Skin around it is somewhat irritated, but not as bad as people on here make it seem.
Long story short: just try it. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you so much for this site!
I thought I would join the conversation and give my experience.
I have a Plantar Wart on the bottom of my foot which I have had for over one year. I had heard that they will eventually go away on their own, so I was waiting to see if it would. After a year of waiting, then doing a bit of research, I decided to try to get rid of it as to not pass it on to any of my friends, people at the gym, my girlfriend, etc. (I think it is good to be responsible, and to prevent others from contracting this evil little virus.)
I first bought a bottle of salicylic acid, and did the treatment for two months with no results, aside from losing skin all around the wart.
Next I tried the duct tape method, which I applied daily for two more months with no results.
Finally, I went to the doctor because I had lost hope of getting rid of it on my own. I had five weekly treatments by freezing it. No luck. After the sixth treatment, the doctor asked if I was using salicylic acid in between freezings? I was not, so I started using acid twice per day and continued seeing the doctor for another six weeks. It did not work. I only had skin peeling all around the wart.
At this point I decided to give up on the doctor and acid, and I started researching other methods. I found this site, and I started with ACV.
I applied ACV to a little piece of gauze, then applied a band-aid over the top. I did this morning and night for one week. I will agree with the others that the pain has been quite fierce at times. One of the first nights I woke up several times in real pain with a severely throbbing foot. But I worked through it and kept on with the treatments. It has had me hobbling around all week due to the throbbing. Two days ago I soaked my foot in a pan of hot water while I watched a movie. I pulled my foot out of the water, picked at the skin, and the entire wart slid away with the other bits of skin. There was beautiful pink skin underneath, and the spot where the wart was is not hard at all like it was.
It has been two days, and I am still at it...just to be sure I got it.
Thank you so much! I thought I was going to be stuck with the thing forever.

Skeptical? Yes. After trying everything else, (o.c.m. & freezing) I prayed.
7 warts on one hand is not a joke. (one of them about 3 years the other less than a year)
Then I "accidentally" came across your site. I started with "the old man" first.
Took about 3 weeks to show the black spots, another two weeks to disappear completely. (I've also boost the immune system with vitamin C,A,E daily) I Prayed again.
I sincerely hope that we should find more sites like these for different ailments.
Thank you everyone who took the time to give your feedback on the site and keep us motivated.
Love you all. Kobus

I am trying this for the first time as I have tried everything.
I used to swim a lot and about 7 years ago got a plantar wart on the bottom of my right foot. It got worse over time and for the first few years I didn't know what it was.
I have tried duct tape, but it never stayed on completely and mostly ruined my socks as the adhesive would smear around. I have tried sal. acid, but of course it just requires you to peel layers off your foot.
I am on night 2 on the ACV and I am praying it works. I will post in 2 weeks with results...so far it has turned white with little black dots.
Tonight is night 3, only mild pain that is tolerable. Oh, and I used a disposable nail file to roughen the surface and remove a light layer of the skin on it.

Mine is the same story, but I have to say, ACV is the best remedy. I had a wart on my ring finger for years - over-the-counter topical ointments etc did nothing.
I happened across this remedy and was so hoping it would work.
A wart-sized bit of cotton ball, soaked in ACV, taped on with a cloth band-aid (I didn't put the cloth area of the band-aid on the cotton ball because it soaked up too much of the ACV). Left on overnight, the wart was black and flat in the morning. A bit of throbbing but I didn't care because I thought the sucker was dying! A few more applications, airing occasionally, and then then most of the wart pulled up and left a big crater.
It is healing now - and there is some black, the roots I guess, in the bottom of the crater. I am waiting for the rest to heal and will then put more ACV on the remaining black when it comes to the surface.
Give it a go - nothing to lose, everything to gain.

Second, I thank the creators of this site, they are genius, luckily I found this great site and the recipe against warts; to be used immediately (the treatment didn't make me suffer).
After one week, I have nothing left; don't worry about your skin coming in contact with vinegar.
For complete results, prolong the treatment for a week.

My stepdaughter has warts at the nail-bed of her fingers.
I have been treating them with the Apple Cider Vinegar for 4 days now. They are going away. She has had the warts for about a year now.
When we take her back to her mother on New Years Day she will be wart free.
She now knows how to treat them should she get more.

I started out with one wart on my middle left finger, on the middle knuckle. So you can imagine how embarrassing it was for a left handed person to write in classes or serve food in my workplace.
That was two years ago. Today, I have 6 all on my left hand. I heard of this remedy out of the blue from Google.
I am SO glad I spent the $4! I read all the testimonials and thought I'd try it for myself.
What I thought was going to be a companion of mine for the rest of my life is now GONE! I cannot believe it! After 6 days, I snipped at it with some nail clippers and sure enough, it just came out.
The first few days were absolutely painful. But not as painful as some other things I've tried (that failed).
Thank you for posting this site! Now, on to killing the other 5!

WOW - apple cider vinegar killed my planters wart in less than one week of treatment!
I have had this huge terribly painful planters wart for almost a year and have tried every over the counter treatment, freeze kit, duct tape, you name it. Nothing worked...until I found this site.
I had shaved the dead skin down to expose all of the black 'roots' each night to make sure the ACV could get to the source. I taped an ACV soaked cotton ball on my foot each night with a band-aid and removed it each AM.
I have to admit, the throbbing did wake me up during my sleep, but I left it on b/c I knew it was working. After about 5 days, the wart was completely black and I could put pressure on it and not scream in agony!
Woohoo, I am going to celebrate today!
Thank you!!

I had a massive wart on my left index finger right near the nail.
After 4 years of treatment including the expensive 'aldara' treatment I tried ACV.
It fell off in the space of a week and left a massive hole which closed up after a while, especially after many trips to the beach.
Its been gone for two years now.
I have a cluster on my right ring finger which I've attacked with ACV. It has gone all white and puffy and I'll keep putting the ACV on until it is completely gone.
USE ACV IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OF WARTS FAST!
Everything else doesn't work, believe me I've tried!

I began using this treatment out of mere desperation.
I have had this darn thing on my hand for two years now. Today, it has spread to be 6 HUGE warts all on my left hand. Which is lovely since I am left handed and use it a lot. People eventually do question a million band aides in the same spot after 2 years.
I found this site by accident, looking for home remedies other than the duct tape, tea tree oil (which I turned out to be allergic to) or banana peels.
Yesterday was day one for me. Is it normal for my finger to be completely pruned up and yellow? They have turned black in the middle which I assume is natural, but they are starting to sting like crazy. I have been trying to suck it up because this does not hurt anymore than some of the other thing I have tried, but this pain is constant.
I am not giving up, I do not want these nasty things to be my life long companions, I am getting rid of them once and for all. I trust this ACV will work.

About 2 years ago I started to have pain in the ball of my right foot. I had just bought a pair of shoes with a slight heel and thought that the pressure of the changed angle was causing this pain. I usually wear flat shoes. The pain worsened over time, even though I wore my usual shoes. The ball of the foot felt like water was filling it, it looked like that as well. Puffy and red, leaving an indentation when I pressed a finger into it. No other indication that I might have a plantar wart. Perfectly undisturbed skin. The pain was unbearable at times, I was not able to walk when I wanted to.
But after searching out this symptom on the net, I concluded that I must have a plantar wart, I was about 80% sure. So I bought the salicylic acid discs, followed the instructions but used 3 of those discs in a circle because this thing felt big and I could not quite locate the spot. I went at it for about 2 month. I still was not quite sure that this was a wart, but I got deeper and deeper into the thick layer of skin. I usually walk barefoot and have rather thick skin on my feet. So the crater was getting deeper, but no sign of dark specks (the little blood vessels of a wart).
Then I read these testimonials about using the ACV, I had nothing to lose but this terrible pain. So I took a plastic zip lock bag (easy to dispose afterwards) and filled it with a cup of the ACV (which I use to make my mayonnaise -- haha), let my foot soak in it for about an hour. The skin got all yellow and puffed and the layers of skin showed up clearly around the crater, like an excavation in a geological dig. And 20 minutes later it hit. The pain was incredible. I am tough, I have a lot of pain from kidney stones and migraines, but this was worse. The pain brought me to my knees, I put a cloth in my mouth to bite down on it so my screams would not disturb the neighberhood. The pain lasted for about 3 hours, the double dose of extra strength Tylenol finally started to work, or maybe just the normal ebbing of pain, I do not know.
I looked at the crater again, and sure enough, there on the bottom sat what looked like a glossy pale grey pearl. It had little black specks in it, and looking at it with a magnifying glass, I saw fine blood vessels all through this thing. Now I was sure that this was a wart deep inside the skin. I put some clove oil on it to relieve some of the soreness, then filled the crater with emu oil to calm all of it. Bandaged it all up and left it so for a day. I kept reading to make sure all this was what was supposed to happen.
Then, after taking off the bandage, I saw the black edges and speckles of this pearl. It looked promising. I now soaked a little cotton wad in the ACV, bandaged it tightly into the crater and waited for the pain. Sure enough, 20 minutes later it hit again, even though I had taken double dose of Tylenol 2 hours before. I left this on for about two hours, swallowing down my tears. Took it off and more black stipples and edges were there.
I used the clove oil and after another two hours dared myself again with the ACV. The pain that followed was much milder and I was able to leave it on for 3 hours. Now the wart looked silver grey with the dark spots and the black edges. It had pushed itself up in the crater and was level with the surrounding skin. I repeated with the ACV soaked cotton bit and the pain hit again big time. So I took it off and covered the wart and surrounding skin with anti biotic ointment that also has pain relief in it and bandaged it. I did not attempt it again, the pain was just too bad. People who do not get this pain are very lucky indeed.
Next morning the wart had turned dark red, like a scab. The ball of the foot was very tender, so I just put clove oil on it, bandaged it and wrote this report. I hope that it is all over soon. I will let you know.
It is incredibly helpful to read all these posts, for we are all lay people with little knowledge of how this process is supposed to work. It is scary. But reading on so many sites how the engagement of professionals has not done much good, there is hardly a choice left but to attack this problem by oneself. I cross my fingers now∑
I also cleaned and soaked the insides of my shoes with the ACV to make sure that I will not re-infect myself. I did not want to throw them away -- Uschie

My husband paid $$$$ over several years to get rid of his warts, trying all medical methods.
In the end, we're still waiting to see if his surgery paid off.
Me, just over one week with ACV, at night only, and I could squeeze out the plug and get rid of the rest of the black areas using my nails.
Will use ACV with plaster for another week, just in case, but I have a small neat hole - and it cost at total of $3 all told - and there are plasters left.
I am grateful.

I have been using ACV for a week now. I am very happy with the progress that I am getting.
The wart is on my toe, on the inside by my baby toe. It's between my toes and wraps around to the bottom of my foot. I couldn't walk for two days.
After using ACV, I was able to walk. I noticed on days 4 and 5 some of the skin was coming off when I removed the cotton ball and medical tape.
(Be careful with the ACV, I got a burn on my baby toe.)
It has been one week and progress is still happening.
I want to thank everyone for their help and encouragement.
I'm still hopeful and greatful for ACV and everyone's comments.

I have no idea how or why this works, but it's amazing. Apple Cider Vinegar is kryptonite to warts.
I had 3 recurring plantar warts.
For best results, start with Compound W and eliminate the top layers of skin and get closer to the wart.
The ACV hurt like hell because one of my warts was HUGE on the side of my small toe. In spite of the pain, there isn't a drop of blood.
I'm only 3 days in and the warts have fallen off and the pain has subsided.
I'm still attacking it for a few more days for the coup-de-grace. Don't bother with any other method of wart removal.

The warts grew steadily so that, 3 weeks before giving birth, she could hardly walk.
It was impossible to treat the warts during the pregnancy and during breastfeeding because all medication was prohibited during those periods.
Then, we found your site and your recommendations.
My wife followed the method for one wart, just to see… Then she followed the method for all the warts.
Within 5 weeks, all the warts had disappeared!
It has now been 3 months that the warts have all gone.
A bad memory that could have been shortened if we had found your site sooner…

I successfully removed a wart on my thumb and two monster plantar warts on my foot using Apple Cider Vinegar.
I had tried using EVERY pharmaceutical product but nothing worked like ACV did.
It really does work but you have to keep at it. The wart will turn black and fall off/break apart and you will be left with a hole but you must continue using ACV for a few days after to ensure the wart is completely gone.
Don't be afraid to soak your foot in a 50/50 solution of water and ACV, it also works just as well to remove warts.
Good luck and I promise it will work for you :)

Greatest Wart Treatment Ever!
I have 3 Warts on my hand. I did this for about a week before I had an appointment with the doctor to get these things frozen off.
He told me there was no reason to freeze the warts because, guess what? THEY WERE DYING! But I told him that the pain was nearly unbearable, so he prescribed Vicodin!
Slept like a rock while my warts finally died off!
My doctor was shocked that this simple home remedy worked better in 1 week with a $2 bottle of ACV than the 6 months of Aldara Cream at $55/application!

Late last week, I started this method for a wart on my upper right arm.
After about 3 days, the wart was black and had shrunk down level with the skin, looking like a normal scab from a scrape or gouge. However, the ACV also "burned" the skin around the wart, so now I have a big scab on the skin outside the wart itself.
That probably isn't reported more often because of the location - mine was on the inside of my upper arm, where there's lots of hair, and I couldn't use the traditional "band-aid" method.
Instead, I had to hold the ACV cotton ball in place with an Ace bandage that was pretty tight. I think it didn't breathe as well as it should have and kept the ACV in longer contact with healthy skin than the band-aid method would have.
So - I'm not using ACV right now, waiting for the skin around it to heal and for the scab that's there to fall off, then I'll restart using some other method for holding the cotton ball in place overnight.

Bought some ACV and molested a cotton ball for the small bits of cotton to try it on a wart on my finger.
First morning the wart looked White after removing the band-aid. As I ride a motorcycle and didn't want any wart stuff in my gloves, I doused another snippet of cotton, put it in place and applied the band-aid. Again, upon removing, it looked white.
It never turned black. But today when I took off the band-aid after work, the wart came off with the cotton and a small round bit of reddish/pinkish new skin could be seen in its place. I'll keep at it for a few days yet, just to make sure.
Now to attack my other warts. Right on!

I'm on week 2 of the treatment for 5 plantar warts on the heel of my foot.
I was very diligent about sticking to the treatment even though I had 4 days of almost unbearable pain and was limping around. Ibuprofen and liquor helped but I'm happy to say that the pain did weaken on the 5th day.
I would soak in ACV when I would get home from work, apply the cotton from Q-tips soaked in the ACV and then tape with sports tape and then duct tape and then wear a sock all night.
I never had horrible pain while sleeping but in the morning when the blood would rush to my foot, it would throb and burn - pretty intensely. I would take off the tape and shower - soaking my foot in warm water and then re-apply the ACV/Cotton and tape. It was difficult to walk and drive - I really wish I had an automatic transmission during this time!
I'm so happy to report that this morning, after soaking my foot in warm water for about 10 minutes, all of the warts came off with a soft emory board! I still have a slightly puffy white circle around where the wart was and I'm continuing the treatment for a few more days. I think I can start doing it only at night now and I'm very confident it will take a few more days for the skin to be smooth and I'm hoping the signs of the warts will be gone soon so I can move on with my life.
I've had these for about 3 years and like others, have tried every OTC treatment, as well as freezing from my general doctor and treatment from a podiatrist.
This has been a painful treatment but it has been totally worth it. Thanks to all of you for posting your experiences and advice. I would read these testimonials daily to give me hope and keep me motivated to keep up with the treatment. It really does work!!

Absolutely amazing! It really works.
My only problem has been really "wet" skin around the wart and working manual labor, I have gone through a couple layers of skin around the wart, but seriously 100% worth it.
My confidence is definitely rising with these things going away.

I have found the cure for these disgusting warts on my fingers.
I have a cluster on my thumb pad, like 5 of them and 2 nights ago I started this treatment.
First I cut it back as far as I could stand it and then I put the cotton ball soaked with ACV and wrapped it up, went to bed and about 3 o'clock I woke up and man! it was hurting like crazy.
Same thing last night and the pain is intense but guess what??? They are black and yucky which is a good thing, the little suckers are dying, lol.
I will keep you up on the progress but so far, it's working!

I have been reading these testimonials daily to stay focused and positive.
I have been soaking my foot in ACV daily for about 30 minutes and then applying the ACV to the plantar wart's, covering with gauze soaked in ACV and then duct tape.
After the first night, I saw a big difference - the deep warts that were usually not that visible (from my daily scraping and cutting for almost 3 years now) turned dark brown/black - I guess the "roots." I was thrilled that I was able to use a nail file to scrape away the 2 smaller ones - one is basically gone but there's still a small dark spot in the other.
The 2 larger ones are taking longer and I am in moderate to severe pain! I was worried that perhaps I was doing something wrong b/c the pain didn't start until about 4 days after treatment.
I can endure pretty high levels of pain but this is crazy bad! Is this normal? I'm sticking with it because of all these testimonials but I'm on day 3 of hardly being able to walk in hopes that it's part of the process.
I read from some testimonials to just continue the treatment even with the pain but I'm not sure how much longer I can endure this if it doesn't start to ease up. Any advice?
Thanks to all of you - these testimonials have been my daily support system in dealing with this. I want to be a success story too!

I can't believe I didn't try this out sooner!
I read a lot of these testimonials some time ago, and then just never got around to it.
Big Mistake, though I've gotten used to their ugly presence: I've had a bad one on my left thumb for a few years and last year it spread further towards my wrist, a seed wart I guess the big ol thang is called, anyway, I bag balmed all around that hombre and then soaked the cotton ball, squeezed out excess, and placed it carefully in place, wrapping it up with 5 band aids (all I had at the time).
The next night I did this again, and the last two weeks it has been in steady, dramatic retreat! Hoooee!So, tonight, it was full-on war on every single one of the buggers! Right now they're saying "Holy Crow! weeze ALLLLLL been attacked!" ...and I am hoping will die slow horrible deaths,like the big one after a couple more times (yes, that one hurt for a bit, it was thick and calloused and is now at skin level...)
I guess grandmas out there knew this as common knowledge.
Thanks a bunch !

I have about the same story that everyone on here does.
I've got what's called a mosaic planters wart (many of them clustered together) on the heel of my left foot. I've tried OTC treatments, several doctors, and even duct tape and have really worked hard to stay on top of this condition over the last SIX YEARS only to have these warts spread and multiply. Talk about frustrating!
I went to a doctor again this last Tuesday and she told me to try one more cream. If this didn't work we'd have to try surgery which may leave me with permanent pain when walking for the rest of my life. That's not an acceptable option for me, so I turned to the net and found this ACV treatment info just yesterday and tried it last night.
I woke up at about 3:00 am with pain in my heel from the warts interacting with the ACV. It felt like little needles giving me multiple shots through thick skin. Uncomfortable, but not unbearable. The skin was swollen this morning (like skin gets when it's wet for way too long ... looks like a raisin), but I'm glad to report that already a few of the warts are turning black. From all that I've read, that's a great thing as it means the warts are dying. YAY! It was painful to walk on this morning too, but much better this afternoon as it's calmed down and very manageable overall. I was encouraged to note also that it was just the infected areas that hurt and not the healthy skin around the warts.
I've read that this will be painful for the next few nights and then it will subside. I say, bring it on. I'm VERY hopeful that this treatment will work from the results I'm seeing already. Thanks to you all for posting your experiences here. Your "Intel" has been most helpful! I will be taking some Vicodin tonight so I can sleep as I know this will hurt again, but it's worth it. I really think this is going to do the trick! :D
Update: Oct 27, 2009
First off, I have a question for apple-cider-vinegar-benefits:
It's been 5 days of applying the vinegar at night (which I know takes longer - two weeks or so, right?). I have a mosaic wart on my heel (as noted before) and most of them have turned black, which I have read is good. I've also read that various kinds of warts fall off, but my wart is flush with with the skin on my heel (or embedded) ... so how do I get them out once they've died completely? What will happen next, or rather, what should I be looking for? How will I know when they're dead and should stop using the ACV? I'm just not sure what to look for now that they're black or what to do to get them out. Thank you! (I guess that was a bit more than 1 question). :)
Next, I do want to let anyone reading this know what my progress is after 5 days of night time treatment. The warts all seem to be turning black now in varying degrees.
After the first night the tenderness and pain was gone. I used a callous remover (razor of sorts) to remove the top layer of dead skin on days 2 and 5.
Last night (day 5) was painful again and I woke up during the night. Today the area is very "angry" (tender and hard to walk on ... feel like pebbles are embedded in my feet).
I think I'll just keep up the ACV treatment and not remove any more dead skin for at least a week.
That's it for now. I'll be back in a week or two to update my progress with you all. :)

I can't believe this worked!!!
I have had this one plantar wart on the bottom of my toe for over 2 years now and have tried everything to get rid of it.
It even started to grow another one under my big toe. It was so disgusting I did everything to try and combat them (freezing, at home kits...I even tried to cut them out and dig to get the "root"). Nothing worked.
So I decided to give the apple cider vinegar a try, I figured why not...nothing else has worked and at least I can say I have tried every option.
I put the ACV on a cotton ball and taped it on my foot over night. The pain was...intense for the first 2 nights only. The plantar wart turned black within the first night. I kept doing this for about 1 week and both PW's are gone!!! WOOHOO!!!
For those who are skeptical try it, it works wonders! What've you got to lose?

I had a large wart on my finger that resisted all methods of removal. I tried every OTC remedy on the market as well as having my doc freeze the stupid thing a couple of times.
I was desperate because it hurt and looked terrible.
The Apple Cider Vinegar is a God-send. I used an emory board (nail file) to file the top of the wart off, put on a few drops of ACV, made sure the bandaid pad was soaked in ACV as well and covered it. I repeated this once a day for two weeks.
THE WART IS COMPLETELY GONE!!! There's only a tiny scar left where the wart resided for over 5 years.
The people who write that it's excruciating are wusses. It stings but it's nowhere near as bad as some of the other remedies I've tried. And this works!
It really really works! Give it a try. Just be persistent and you'll be stunned by the results. I know I was!

So after I realized that those annoying things on my feet are plantar warts, I wanted to get rid of them ASAP.
I got warts when I was a kid (on the same darn foot) and had to get them frozen, then shaved off by a doctor.
I really didn't want to spend the money, so I started looking for a natural way to get rid of them. When I came across this ACV method, I tried it right away.
My warts are pretty deep so for me it stings. Not bad enough to really bother me, but putting my foot in a shoe and then driving kind of hurts. But after the first night, I can already see a difference.
Today is day two for me, and the warts are starting to turn brown, which I am assuming means that they are dying.
I cannot WAIT to get rid of these and get a pedicure, or a foot rub from my boyfriend. I will be back in a few days to report my final results.
SO far so good!

I have had a plantar wart on the ball of my foot for twenty years.
Over those twenty years I have done everything possible to try to get rid of this ugly painful thing.
One treatment caused it to spread & I now have had another wart for about five years.
Then another one appeared six months ago.
My girlfriend mentioned acv & I thought she was mad!
After only one day they all started to go black, the pain was excruciating but I persisted & they are now going away.
I am so happy I can finally have a pedicure & not worry when having a massage that they might see or touch my foot. I am so happy.

So far so great! Go ahead and try it(:

Wow, this is really working!
I have 7 warts on both hands, really embarrassing. In fact, I went on an interview and I'm convinced I didn't get the job due to my skin.
I've been going to the dermatologist for 4 months. Only 1 wart actually went away. She would freeze them and then I'd use the acid at night. With exception to the one wart, none improved. I think it got worse!
So I searched online for other suggestions. I found ACV and have tried it for 3 nights. It's painful. Now I don't know if every dr. will do this but I told my dermatologist about this and she prescribed vicodin for me. I'm not abusing the pills and the pain has decreased at night. It's the only way to fall asleep.
One of my 6 warts have disappeared 95%.
Finally, as a big test, I'm using acid on one wart. Basically I want to compare for the next 5 days. I already know the answer but I want to make a point of this.
Best of luck to everyone trying!

This stuff REALLY works!!
I had a HUGE wart on my middle finger right on the nail almost, got it frozen twice, tried mediplast pads and nothing worked, it was there for almost a year!
I saw this website and decided to try the ACV- I put it on for a few hours at a time the first few days because it hurt and throbbed like HELL!!
The pain was definitely worth it, to be rid of these awful warts!!
Don't even bother with the other remedies, do this first, you will save time, money and energy, it is amazing!

New skin!! Finally!
I have had this plantar's wart on my foot for at least six years and I have tried EVERYTHING. Not only did it not help, my wart was spreading and I soon had three.
I used Compound W, the home freeze off kits, getting it frozen off by a dermatologist about four times, having a dermatologist drip acid onto it, an experience so painful I can't even begin to describe it.,br>It was starting to affect my movement and I'm a avid runner/biker and I could feel it throb whenever I would work out.
So, desperate and upset after the last acid treatment left me unable to walk for a week and it STILL came back, I went online and found apple cider vinegar.
There were so many good reviews I figured I'd give it a try. I alternated between soaking my foot in a tub of ACV to the cotton ball on overnight.
Don't get me wrong. It HURT (not as much as the acid, thank goodness) but I could see the wart dying so I kept at it.
Finally, I can see the new pink skin on the surface of my foot and I can't feel the hard little nob on the inside anymore.
I'm going to keep at the ACV every other night for another week or so, but it looks good! I'm so excited!
Looking forward to finally getting a pedicure!

EMPHATIC YES!!!!.
I've had this POS wart on my thumb for about 4 years...I would use treatment after treatment and it would just keep coming back. Then I ACV'd it.
Oh, the burn. SO worth it. I loved thinking about how the vinegar was going to town on that evil wart, killing it off my finger.
I'd be able to flake off dead stuff daily and see the shrinkage...awesome.
DO IT!!!

This actually works. I was skeptical at first, but willing to try it because I had given the home freezing kits a shot and they never worked.
I had five big warts on my left hand which were insanely ugly and I taped two cotton balls that I dunked in apple cider vinegar for one week.
I saw that the edges of my warts were white and puffy, so I grabbed a pair of tweezers to see if anything was working and one popped like a zit, disgusting I know, but I grabbed ahold of the edges of the wart and pulled it out of my hand. I followed suit with the next four.
ACV can really tear your skin off though, so be careful, but that's what makes it work, it makes that area of the body uninhabitable for the plantar wart virus.
It's amazing.
NB ( From apple-cider-vinegar-benefits.com) :
The Method for the removal of warts, with apple cider vinegar, normally requires approximately two weeks AND it does NOT call for digging through or tampering with the warts during the treatment ( though some testimonials of people having done so, report success at getting rid of their warts that way as well).
The pain generally subsides after the first few days (providing the warts are not tampered with and no vinegar is poured over raw flesh). Some people also prefer to do the treatments during the day - rather than at night - so as to sleep without pain."

My daughter, who also suffers from severe eczema began to develop warts on her fingers about a year and a half ago.
I tried the over the counter remedies such as compound w and the ones that "claim" to remove the wart in one application or less. None of what I used worked.
The doctor examined the warts which were spreading and stated that they would eventually fall off but gave me a prescription for cimetidine to give her orally. Cimitidine is normally prescribed for acid reflux but apparently studies have shown that it can have some effect on warts. Needless to say, I was not comfortable giving my 3 year old this drug, especially since it is take by mouth and she gagged every time I gave it to her!
About a month ago, I brought her to the dermatologist again and they scheduled another appointment with a specialist who would supposedly "burn" them off. By this time, the warts were so big that I knew something HAD to be done. My little girl had about 100 warts on her of various sizes. they had spread to her wrists and on her arms and on the top of her hands. Most were not that noticeable, but the ones on her fingers were huge and very very unsightly. She had 3 or four huge ones on each thumb and a couple on just about every finger.
Anyway, I searched online for wart remedies and came across apple cider vinegar as a recommended treatment. I did it and it worked!!!!
Within three days, the warts began to fall off all over her body. The smaller ones, sloughed away like they were exfoliated and the big ones began to either dry out and turn black or come off layer by layer. My daughter did experience discomfort but she was also happy to see them start to come off. It has been about a month and they have not come back and her skin has healed completely!!!
I thought it would take a miracle to get rid of those things but it was very easy to do the treatments. I put about 1/3 cup of ACV in her bathwater everynight and I directly treated the big ones with an ACV soacked cotton swap kept on from bedtime until the morning. It seems like once the big ones started to die, the smaller ones died too so I did not have to treat them all directly.
Please try this remedy, it truly does work!!

Hey I have been doing this for a few days and it really hurt.
But after about 2 days half the wart turned black and fell off.
I kept doing it to see if the rest would fall off but it looks a little worse, it has like rised up...and has a little bit of water that leaks out of a little hole on one side.
Is it infected should I stop? Or has this happened to someone else?
Apple-cider-vinegar-benefits.com: As the wart removal procedure requires normally 2 weeks, it would be best to continue the treatment. In the process of being destroyed, many warts raise up and become puffy and wrinkled. Sometimes, there is a little discharge like the one you describe. If you fear an infection, you may want to apply a little Polysporin on the wart in between the applications of apple cider vinegar treatments (when you do not wear a Bandaid to hold the cotton ball soaked in vinegar).

I have had an incredibly stubborn wart on my thumb for 10 years, and after 8 cryo treatments and a trip to the Dermatologist my wart still didn't die, so i have been using acv for 3 nights and it has already turned black.
I found that the acv didn't sting as much through the dead black tissue, wo I have safely cut the top layers off, and reapplying the acv to the deeper wart tissue.
Fingers crossed this will kill it once and for all.
So far so good...

I came across this site and read many of the comments so decided to try it on my 2 very large warts on my left thumb.
I had them for many months and wasted time and $$$ trying compound w gel and even a freeze off kit. These products did nothing to them!
It only took about 3 days and then I could dig out the warts. It did hurt for me quite a bit. I couldn't do it at night b/c of the pain so I only applied it during the day but left it on all day. I Used cotton balls, soaked in acv and band-aids.
I would apply one treatment in the morning and then reapply a new one in late afternoon. At night I let it air out. That's it!
On the 3rd day, it didn't hurt as much so I thought that was a good sign that maybe it was working and killing it. I was right!
I am letting them heal right now and if I see anything coming back, I will promptly start treatment again!
So easy, inexpensive and most importantly IT WORKS!!!!!

I just started the ACV treatment last night.
I did the cotton ball soaked in acv taped to my pw. I woke up this morning and its white a puffy around it.
I changed to a new cotton ball with avc and re-taped it for today. It doesn't burn but it looks like something is happening! Hopefully it is working!!!
I'm going to continue this for the next 2 weeks. We shall See..... Thanks, I sure hope this works!!!
I have had this thing for like 3+ years and I have been to a couple of doctors. One tried cutting it out but it immediately came right back...
Please let this ACV trick work!!!! *fingers crossed*

I had a wart removed from my thumb a few months ago by the Nirto from the doctors office, and said I would NEVER have that done on my feet because it hurt So badly.
Well needless to say I found one on my foot a few weeks later.
I am doing the ACV now and it is amazing how this works, and the great thing is that you are not putting chemicals in your body!!

I picked at it a little and I was going to try wart bandages but I found out about acv and I've been using it for two days.
No pain yet but it feels like its throbbing but minus the pain.
Odd but it seems to be working, it turned black already.

Tried everything to get rid of a wart on my little finger - home freezing kits (useless), duct tape, salycylic acid and had it frozen off by a nurse twice with liquid nitrogen. Nothing worked, it came back bigger and stronger every time.
One week with ACV at night and that was it - gone.
Painful - are you kidding - it absolutely wrecked at night but soooo worth it to be rid of the blasted thing.
Two months now and wart free.
I am delirious - thanks for posting ACV as a wonder cure for warts. Would never have believed it but there you go, cure for less than a pound!

About a year ago I had a wart on my pinky that was huge and white and gross and pretty much half the size of my finger nail.
Well, I ACV'd it up, and it was completely cured and wonderful. About two days into it, it got bigger and black and even grosser so I had to wear a band aid over it, but after that it shrunk until it was gone with no pain.
So now I have another wart on my middle finger, and right this moment it's festering in a cotton ball of vinegar.
I know it will work, but what's bizarre is that on the finger I'm treating, my finger /prints/ have become all swollen and weird. They stick out like a millimeter from my finger. I'm not worried, It's just bizarre. :/
Good luck, it's tedious and smells terrible, but stick with it and it will work. :3

Apple cider vinegar is a miracle worker...
I had a plantar wart on the bottom of my foot for 12+ years. I had no clue what it was when it first came up so it was ignored for most of the time. Even though I was embarrassed by it and wanted it to go away..
Eventually I found out what it was so I went to the store and bought some freeze off. I tried it multiple times and they all failed. I was so frustrated and started to lose hope.
A few years later I came across this website and read about apple cider vinegar. I already use it on everything else.. why not try it on this sucker? I was a little skeptical at first because of all the other times I've tried to freeze it, cut it out, use duct tape, etc with no prevail. Still I went through with it. I was determined to get rid of it this time around, I didn't care about the pain that I would feel.
A few weeks went by of applying a soaked cotton swab and a band aid on the bottom of my foot everyday, sometimes ever other day, and eventually the apple cider vinegar literally ate through the wart. Mine did not turn black.
I am so happy now...my foot is finally healed and no longer do I have the wart that has been there forever.
If you haven't tried apple cider vinegar yet, I suggest you give it a try. Its really a miracle worker!

I am telling you no lies here.
I had a wart on my eyebrow since I was nine.
I was so embarrassed and tired of hiding it I cut it off twice with finger nail clippers.
I am now 36 and it started to come back again, I read this page and was skeptical. I did it any way what in the world do I have to lose.
Nothing.
I soaked a piece of cotton ball and left it on all night with a band-aid. It turned white and angry:) Next day it dried up, I peeled off the scab and did the procedure again for the next 2 nights. I stopped after that.
I am now wart free! After 24 years of hiding my left eye and the wart with my hair and makeup.

I put ACV on a wart on the top of my finger. It's been about a week now and it is going away!
I soaked a cottong ball in ACV, placed a band-aid on top of it to hold it in place. The first few days hurt (burned and throbed) on and off all day. It turned black and got large.
Now it is still black (5 days later) but half the size! I think it will be gone in a few weeks. The seeds are what got so black.
The only negative is that the ACV that was touching my good skin caused it to peel and get really, really dry.

My son developed a plantar wart on his foot after spending every day this summer at the pool.
At first i thought it was a blister and shrugged it off. I eventually took him to the doctor and learned it was a plantar wart.
I came home then researched home remedies and I am so thankful I found this site.
We have been using ACV for 4 days now and the wart is turning black. He says it burns when the ACV is applied but he is able to walk alot better now.
I think that with a few more applications the wart will be completely gone!

I am truly glad that I found this site.
I had been trying to get rid of 2 plantar warts for at least two years, if not longer, going from one over the counter remedy to another. I even used a prescription treatment that my dermatologist gave me.
Nothing, absolutely nothing worked.
After using the ACV for exactly 2 weeks, one wart is gone and the other is almost gone.
I am simply amazed at this success. There was pain, sometimes rather intense, but 2 ibuprofen took care of it. I'm even taking a tablespoon of ACV daily just for general health.
Thank you so much for this site.

I just started using the ACV yesterday and the warts have already turned black but they're huge!
I had one under my nail and now I can't see any pink but, just wart.
But it's working and I don't really like nails anyway. Hurts quite a bit though and they're much more obvious now.
My boy friend tried everything on his, even getting em chopped off but they came back. He'll be happy to know about this XD

Ok, so first off I had this plantar wart on the bottom of my foot for about 7 months now.
At first it looked like a little blister and I didn't think that much of it. But when it started becoming hard I started to worry. I showed my parents but they weren't to concered by it and they said it was a corn.
So I went to the store and bought Corn removers from dr. Sholls and I used them repeatedly for about 5 months but all it did was grow back whenever I peeled of some of it.
So then I looked up pictures on the Internet and figured out it was a plantar wart!!!
But the corn removers had the same thing in it as the plantar wart removers which was salicylic acid.
So I didn't want to go through those stupid medicated disks anymore cause they weren't doing anything.
So I looked up home remedies on plantar warts and found out about the ACV.
And it's working!!!!!!
I've been putting on duck tape on both my plantar warts with a cotton ball filled with ACV. ( yea it multiplied ) and the main plantar wart is turning black.
I'm so happy I didn't think that they would ever fall off!
I recommend this to everyone that is having plantar wart problems!!!!

It started out looking like a small bug bite on the side of my third toe.
I figured it would eventually go away on it's own, little did I know it didn't. After realizing it was a plantar wart, I quickly bought liquid salicylic acid and band-aids with salicylic acid, after a couple days the area expanded and skin started peeling off.I thought I was headed in the right direction, but after some research I learned it can take many months for the acid to work.
I then read about apple cider vinegar and was quite intrigued by the possible solution. I made a deal with myself if in the next 2 months I did not see any improvement I will try ACV. I was a little nervous to try ACV after reading about the burning and stinging sensation, but my 2 months were up.
By this time the wart had grew larger and was mighty painful. I was seriously considering going to the doctor but again I did more research and found that doctors only prescribe a stronger acid and do painful laser and surgical interventions when in most stories I read the wart came back in a matter of months.
I gritted my teeth and decided to give it a whirl. The first application of ACV was a piece of cake....no pain just smelly ACV.
The next couple of days the wart started to expand and became inflamed, I will be honest I started to freak out thinking the wart had become infected. I quickly went online and learned that it was normal. I continued my treatment regimen for the next couple of weeks and saw many changes. And yes it did burn! But I figured if it didn't burn I should be concerned. After 2-3 weeks of ACV the plantar wart is completely gone!
This is what I did:
After I took a shower I took a small piece of cotton ball and dipped it in ACV and fastened it with normal everyday band-aid and then used medical tape to reinforce it. I did this only at night because I couldn't tolerate the stinging in the daytime.
GOOD LUCK!

Started treatment on july 2nd it is july 9th and my wart is gone, I just put tea tree oil with witch hazel on it for good measure.
It left a hole on my finger but thats a good sign that I removed the whole thing.
I even picked out the core, hoping for the best.
I have always used acv for a lot of things, who new the cure to my problem was right in my closet.
Hopefully no more band aid covering for me. I got tired of telling people I accidentally cut myself.

I last wrote on this website about 2 years ago when I was having trouble with warts, one on my finger and one on my toe.
I had had the warts for about half a year, maybe more when I first tried ACV. Both warts have gone and I am so much happier.
The treatment took a little longer for the wart on my toe to disappear completely. That wart came back, I think because I picked it off too early and it hadn't had a chance to properly respond. However about 2-3 weeks of continued treatment that little bad-boy went and has not returned since.
This really works if you stick at it and just keep it up. You smell of vinegar, it's a bit messy with all the cotton balls but totally worth it.
I am now going to start again by attacking a plantar wart I've had on my foot for years. I did originally treat all my warts in one go, but when the two that were visible had cleared up I just go lazy and stopped treating the plantar one.
However, I can't go on hiding my feet or always being embarrassed about the state of my feet. I want to be able to take my shoes AND socks off and not worry that someone might see the soles of my feet.
I have soaked my foot in ACV for about 2hours today and have just applied a little neat solution and secured it with some duct tape. This is it- I don't care if I'm doing this for months, I will beat these horrid things.
So for anyone out there who is wondering if this works- believe it. Read all the testimonies and try it for yourself. I wouldn't have tried it if it wasn't for the comments other people had written and I am so grateful that they did.
Good luck :)

I've had a huge wart on my 1st knuckle on my left hand for just under a year.
It's been very embarrassing and have taught myself how to hide my hand very well...at pubs, on the tube, at work meetings...wherever. It's not been a nice experience.
Anyway I am another testament to the use of ACV for wart removal. Because mine was so bad it took about 3 months of ACV treatment to get rid of. Basically it took 3 'periods' i.e treatment then cutting/picking off the dead wart. On the 3rd time round I also treated it with a product called 'Spot Wand' from a UK pharmacy chain...this seems to have made all the difference in helping to finally kill it. It is a mixture of tea tree oil and witch hazel...used to treat acne.
Anyway am very happy and relieved to be able to say that it's almost completely gone now. There'll be scar tissue because it was so big and bad, but will be far far better than the filthy wart!

OMG, I am using ACV now for a plantar wart and it is KILLING me!
I'm not giving up though. This is the 3rd night. It has already turned black below the surface. The surrounding area is swollen and there are some white lumps. I think it is just part of the swelling.
I haven't seen too many comments about the pain, so I hope it is working correctly.
BTW I have this wart for over a year and it has been frozen twice, but never went away completely. Stay tuned!

Using Apple Cider Vinegar worked amazingly for me.
Only did it for one day because my wart started turning black and I got bored of doing it. I figured I'd see what happened and do it some more if I had to.
I got impatient and peeled off the skin too early, which caused a lot of bleeding and I thought I'd ruined it. However a little over a week later the scab from the where I'd scratched at it too much just came off, taking the wart with it completely painlessly.
Amazing. All I did was tear off the end of a Q-tip, completely soak it in ACV and tape it on my finger for about 24 hours total. This is amazing. There was a little pain, but nothing I couldn't take or really even focused on for very long.
Such an excellent way to do this, I don't know how people sell wart remover when you can buy $2.00 ACV that does the same thing.

I developed a wart on my thumb about 5 months ago - it soon turned into 4 on both hands.
I tried salicylic acid which seemed to work at first, but the warts returned. Then it worked no more. I bought a home freeze kit and I didn't get any results from it. The warts were more and more embarrassing, then to my horror I began developing a plantar wart.
Enough was enough, a week ago I was ready to give in and go to the doctor about it. On a whim I searched for home remedies and came across tons of success stories over ACV. I was skeptical at first, but yesterday I finally got a bottle to try it out.
After just one day the two main warts are black, the other two are starting to blacken, and the planter wart is shrinking as well. I tear cotton balls into smaller pieces, soak with ACV, and secure with a band-aid. I do have some pain, but it isn't too horrendous. Plus it's completely worth the results I'm getting. None of the other things I tried worked this well so fast. Truly amazing!
Tiny bottle of Salicylic Acid: $12
Freeze Away Kit: $25
Huge bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar: $1.99
Best investment ever.

I am one year into fighting fingers that seem to want warts on them, with two large ones...one on my left thumb and one on my left pinky.
This sucks for a 24 year old woman just starting out in the working world!
Duct tape and ointments kept warts at bay on my other fingers, but the one on my thumb just got larger and larger and larger. First I didn't know what it was, and it was a mosaic wart before I knew what was happening.
I had warts on my fingers as a child and remember the methods, medicine, and finally the painful freezing that rid me of them, so I have spent a year and at least 150 dollars on freezing kits, acids, and duct tape, but NOTHING was actually getting to the "root" of the wart. I felt like I was just hurting myself cutting off dead skin weekly for nothing, freezing it constantly.
I was at my wits end three days ago and found this site, willing to try anything. Praise God there was ACV in the kitchen!!! Probably been sitting there all year. ONLY the testimonies on this site gave me hope! :)
I did two two hour treatments the first day, and one the second day, and one the third day. It hurt so bad, and took so long to stop hurting, that I couldn't do it for longer. I know some people do it for longer. That being said, I could tell something was different. The pain was less with each treatment after the second time. (the worst, shouldn't have done it at night, couldn't sleep it was so bad)
The medium size mosaic wart on my pinky turned really black and a little prying brought the whole thing off tonight in just three days, down to the flesh,I poured rubbing alcohol on it, and the whole meat of the wart appears to be gone. After it dried I put on Neosporin.
My thumb wart (HUGE) turned mosaicly brown with tons of dots, and I frankly cut off the top layer tonight, which I could tell was very dead, and I was afraid the ACV wouldn't penetrate, but I don't know if that's a real concern. I wanted to see results! Underneath is the same surface area of the wart, but it consists of white skin and fewer brown dots.
More ACV then, but I am SO AMAZED by these results, I have no fear that a few more days of treatment and I will soon have a wart-free thumb. It seems weird to say, but I swear the warts feel more separate from your hand after ACV. You know it's working. The pain was just awful for the last few days, but nothing compared to the intermittent pain and dull humiliation of the last year. Band-aids everyday are noticeable! And as it is not pain suffered in vain, I suffer it gladly. :)
The pain should not discourage anyone, my warts were/are deep and big, and now they aren't. That's enough, isn't it!? :) Try ACV!!!!!!!!!!

About 2 years ago, a wart popped up on my knee. I ignored it at first, simply because I had them on my hands when I was younger and I didn't think they could every come back.
Well, I was wrong.
Over 2 years later, now I have about 30 of them. Most of them are small, but it was starting to scare me because I was seeing them appear on different parts of my body (Including one on my chin!)
Well I went on line recently because I was tired of the embarrassment and constantly having to hide my leg from people.
After finding ACV as a remedy, I decided to just give it a shot.
Well, I have been using it for the past 3 nights, and already they are falling off one by one!
The only recommendation I have is if you are going to start the treatment, keep up with it because from previous experience, if you don't they will disappear for a little bit and then grow back even bigger!

Okay, so I never ever try home remedies.
I just don't think they work but when I had a wart that I couldn't get rid of by freezing it, I was willing to try anything.
After 24 hours of the ACV covering my wart, it puffed up and started to ache. After a day or two of reapplying the ACV and covering with a bandaid, I was able to let air dry and then scrap off the dead skin.
After 1 week, I am wart free. Honestly, it's incredible.
Try this before buying the home-freeze stuff. It's cheaper and works better.

This really does work!!
I had a wart on my finger and had tried every over the counter product to treat it.
Meanwhile, where my finger touched the other finger I got one there and they started spreading. I had several that had grouped together and had really big warts.
I treated one finger at a time before moving to the next one because yes, I did experience some pain.
All of the warts were gone and that was a year and a half ago and I am still wart free.
My mother and brother tried this too and it worked for both of them. I will continue to use this if I ever need it again and spread the word about it!

I've had a lot of warts on my hand and fingers for a few years, and recently they started multiplying.
I've tried Compound W to no avail, so I though what could it hurt to try home remedies?
Read this article and bought some ACV two days ago. I put it on a wart to test it, and ever since, it looks like the wart is being pushed out of my finger.
I'm really surprised and relieved that this is working! It already has a few black spots starting to surface, and by the looks of it, it should be gone in a week!
Thanks a bunch for this article, I would recommend this method to anyone.

WOW this really does work.
I have a large plantar wart on my heal and its very painful.
I started using the ACV on it 2 days ago and it has already descreased in size by about 50% and has turned very black.
This wart was very painful and everytime I put too much pressure on it, it would start to bleed, but now that I'm using the AVC I can put full pressure on my foot again without it bleeding at all.
Thank Goodness, because I'm a softball pitcher and I've been having trouble pitching lately because of it.
I'm so glad I found this website. Thank you sooo much.
So if you've got a wart that hurts or you have a wart that you just think is really ugly try using ACV, it will work when nothing else does.

I had 4 warts on my fingers, one on my middle finger ( I had 2 warts and they grew together to make a even bigger wart!) and another one in the same spot and one at the bottom of my middle finger. And also one on the side of my left foot!,
I tried "freeze off" at the doctor which was very painful, and wart remover I got at a store.. and a lot more!. Well guess what, none of them worked.
I have now had them for 2 years!.
And I have heard about APPLE CIDER VINEGAR and I thought I guess I will give it a shot.
well I bought it took it home.
Used a small cotton ball poured vinegar on it and put it on my warts, and put a band-aid on it and used duct tape to cover it well. I kept it on for 2 nights, I took it off and wow it got smaller, so I did the same thing I poured some apple cider vinegar on a small cotton ball put it on my warts and put a band-aid and duct tape to put over the band aid. I waited a few days and I took it off and WOW it really worked.
They were finally gone. I thought I don't have to hide my hands to my boyfriend. I can finally hold his hand without worrying about him seeing or feeling my warts (which I used band aids to hide them he he=) so he would not catch them because they spread very easy.
So I recommend that you use apple cider vinegar!. It has enough acid to kill your warts that's why it works because of all the acid!
Ha ha, thank you acid.... hehehe! lol :)

It's true. It works. It works within days if you just leave it on all day.
If you tear the cotton ball up into small pieces, you can conceal the entire thing with a band-aid and wear it to work with no one questioning.
Apple cider vinegar has been a staple in my house for a year, it's great for many things.

I just want to attest the fact that this really works.
My husband had a small wart on his elbow. He was extremely self conscious about.
For a few nights before he went to bed we soaked a cotton ball in the vinegar and taped it to his arm. Within days the wart had turned black and just eventually fell completely off.
It has been over a year now and no signs of it coming back.

Wow I couldn't believe I found on your website an article about removing warts with ACV.
When I was a child (now 59-so a loooong time ago :) ), I had a seed wart on my little finger. I would scrape the top of the wart and hold a cotton ball soaked in vinegar on it. It disappeared completely.
I can't believe I did this long before all this was really common knowledge. Who knew?

ACV was amazing, I had tried everything before and they helped but very slowly. I used ACV for couple of nights and the warts were away in less than a week!.

I worried all the time and tried everything to remove a small patch of common warts from my hand.
The apple cider vinegar is the ONLY thing that worked for me, after all of those expensive removal products and vitamins. I didn't believe it at first, and it took a while but now my hand is clear for the first time in 5 or 6 years.
I wish I would have known about this before my wedding.
The ACV wasn't painful to me because I didn't tape it on overnight or anything. Instead, I put it on a cotton ball and swiped it over the area about three times a day for a few weeks.
It didn't look like it was working because it kept scabbing and bleeding, so I stopped. I peeled the dry skin and scabs off every day until there were some pink spots of new skin left.
Now (about two months later) you can hardly tell that anything was ever there. The skin is still a bit new, but it will fade in time and it beats ugly warts!

I have tried every treatment out there, involving a lot of time, expense, and money over the last few years.
When I was pregnant about 4 years ago or so, I developed a number of plantar warts on both feet. Using the freezing kits worked for most of the warts --- however, a large one remained and would NOT go away no matter what I did. I picked it, sliced it, shaved it off with razors, burned it with salicylic acid 20% about a million times, used the freezing kits on it a million times, etc. --- NOTHING worked.
I developed a wart on my thumb several months ago, right on the inside where the joint bends. this was annoying/painful because my pen would rub it while I was writing in class. I also tried freezing it, etc. --- and it wouldn't go away.
This started to really bother me, because I didn't want anyone to see this wart on my hand, it was embarassing, annoying, painful, etc.
I found this website and read about the apple cider vinegar cure, and decided to try it.
Seriously, it worked like magic! after 1 day of applying the apple cider vinegar --- (at night, I would soak a small piece of toilet paper in some bragg's apple cider vinegar, place it on the wart, and wrap it up with some medical tape) --- the wart blackened inside and swelled up and turned white on the perimeter. It did hurt, but it was worth it to see the progress.
I repeated the process at night for about 2 more nights, just to make sure the wart would disappear. It turned very black, and dried out during the day, looking like a black scab. On about the 4th day I pulled the black scab off. A few days after that, I pulled off a layer of dry skin, and my skin is now PERFECT. There is no indication there was a wart, and there is no scar.
I am now attacking my plantar wart --- the one that has been there for over 4 years.
Last night I shaved it down and applied the apple cider vinegar as described. I had no pain, and in the morning, I could see the tell-tale black spots to show the ACV is working.
I am sure that within the next few days --- this wart will also be gone. FINALLY! after 4 plus years, I'll be able to go for a pedicure!!!! (before, I was too embarassed, so I would always do my own pedicures --- but it's more fun to have someone else do it!)

As an engineer, I am usually a bit skeptical of promises, but I was very impressed with how well this worked.
I was desperate after a Dr. caused the ring wart to happen and had no real cure - some very expensive cream that did nothing - he didn't think it would work I don't think.
I went here and found this site.
A ring wart the size of a dime fell off after many weeks of light treatment.
It was great - turned black then one day after a shower, a chunk came off with great skin underneath. Wow!
You have to try it - it's cheap so why not - you will be very happy you did. That was two years ago. Sorry it took so long for me to get back to leaving a message!

When I was 23, I got my first wart on my index finger.
The thing turned out to be massive. I mean it was HUGE and SOOOOOOO embarrassing, everything I tried failed at killing it. By the time I turned 27 I had 5 warts.
I had spent so much money it was ridiculous! Nothing worked. I really became depressed about it, and I felt disgusting! I also constantly had to hide it with band aids and I mean, people catch on when they see a bandaid on the same places for years.
I've looked up many at home remedies and none of them worked. The last one I used was the banana peel one...well what a pain in the butt that was...and plus it didn't work. I felt HELPLESS because I saw that people went to the doctor and spent sooooo much money to have it frozen off or extracted somehow...and even that didn't guarantee that it would be gone forever!
I finally said...I'm going to try one more thing...and if that doesn't work, I guess I'll just have to cover these painful disgusting things up FOREVER.
We were in the grocery store and I saw that apple cider vinegar was on an end cap on sale...and I remembered how people swore by it for wart removal...well, I heard and read that before. I decided to try it, I mean it was like 2 dollars a bottle. Why not give it a shot.
I put a little dab on a smaller piece of cotton...I decided just to try my really large wart. I put a bandaid on it to keep it in place...and to be extra sure it didn't move, I fastened it all on with duct tape. I did this only two nights. Then I just took it off and I kinda gave up. I didn't even really look at my wart. I had a really hectic week. The next time I looked down my wart was a 1/4 of the size it was before...I let it go and the damn wart was GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I
STILL can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am always looking at my finger and rubbing it in disbelief! I PROMISE this will work! I had the wart for 4 years and it was HUGE! I thought it will NEVER be gone! I have NOOOOOO warts now! It is AMAZING and I am SOOOOOO thankful that I gave it that one last try!
MY fingers are beautiful now! I cried lol You can get rid of these wretched things!
Just use apple cider vinegar! GOOD LUCK :D
