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).

Procedure for the Removal of Warts
Using Apple Cider Vinegar
For this simple procedure, the removal of warts using apple cider vinegar requires just 3 things:
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Cotton balls (end of Q-tip will do)
- Band-aid
The wart will swell and throb a little as it reacts with the vinegar and then start to turn black within the first two days and after a week or two will be completely gone.
User feedback summary on the removal of warts
using apple cider vinegar:
What comes out loud and clear after reading the numerous testimonials posted below is how delighted and surprised people are to find that such a simple and inexpensive procedure using natural apple cider vinegar can be so effective in removing warts.
The only drawback most often mentioned is the pain involved.
Not everyone experiences pain, but for those who do, it can last anywhere from a few hours to several days. In these cases, over the counter pain medication has been found to help.
If you find this vinegar procedure too painful for you or if you just don't want to deal with the possible pain involved, there is another home remedy to remove warts, using other completely natural substances, which is completely pain free.
The simple procedure was developed by Chris Gibson and as he explains in his e-book, he used it to remove 3 ugly warts from his hands in 11 days. He includes dozens of testimonials from others who have used it to remove not only planter and common warts but also external genital warts, moles and skin tags.
In this 80 page e-book, Chris describes the differences between warts, moles and skin tags, discusses the major drawbacks of current surgical strategies for removing them and the benefits of permanently and painlessly removing these skin problems with his all natural method.

I am doing the ACV treatment right now on 3 warts on my pinky fingers and thumb. I have about eight more to treat..
I have had them for about 5 years and they are multiplying too fast. I have had them frozen numerous times, cut out with a laser, and beetle juice applied and nothing worked. They were getting worse.
As I am using the ACV on my largest warts first they are realllly painful. Somedays are to the point I can't move my fingers.... and I am a cashier. BUT, it is the most progress I've seen than any other method so far.
I do have to scrape off the old, dead skin of the wart that is slowly disintegrating each night before I put on more ACV. It hurts, but it's amazing to see my fingers looking a little "normal" again. They were looking so fat because of the warts.
If there is anyone out there who can tell me me what I can do to help the pain would be appreciated. And why exactly does it hurt so bad??
THANK YOU and GOOD LUCK!

I had a wart on my wrist since 2005 and didn't even realize it was one. I then saw one on my ring finger in 2007, but still didn't know what it was. I just wasn't familiar with warts. It wasn't terribly big. But I pointed it out to my girlfriend who said it might be a wart.
Eventually I went to the doctor and asked him if that was what it was. He said it was, and in typical allopathic fashion, he took me straight to another room where he froze both of them off.
One was a success. It never came back and it left a minimal scar. The other, however, never really went away and returned to full wart status within a month or two. Worse still, other similarly sized warts appeared on my ring finger, thumb and wrist..
Then soon after.... click here for full story.

I had my first plantar wart 2 years ago. I tried many over-the-counter products but nothing worked and my wart was growing bigger and bigger.
My doctor told me that my wart was a mosaic wart and that it was the hardest type of wart to get rid of. It had lots of black dots.
So I decided to see a specialist for a weekly treatment that lasted 4 months (freezing).
My wart was gone but a month later, another wart appeared near the spot where the first one had been and it started to get bigger and bigger.
Right now, I am in California for the summer so I can’t see a doctor here because of the cost.
I came upon your site last night and started using ACV right away. I promised myself I would not spend any more money on over-the-counter medication for this wart but, with $2.00 vinegar, what had I got to lose?
The hours following the application of the vinegar were painful but all in all, it wasn’t all that bad.
This morning, the wart was darker.
So, tonight I will resume the treatment. I am more hopeful than ever to be rid of this awful wart!

I did the ACV on three warts on my hands for about a week.
One I am almost possitive is gone and the other two are either gone or almost gone. The ACV turned the warts black and when I pulled the black stuff off it left a little whole in my skin. Does that mean that it is gone?
I want to see how these holes heal up and then I think I should be able to tell if they are actually gone or not. So far though I am very please with the results, I had more damage from trying to burn them off.
The ACV is painful though but for this much progress in only a week, the pain is worth it.

I'm really thankful I stumbled upon this website and found out that ACV can remove warts
I happened to have 4 warts on my fingers. Within 3 weeks, I think, of using ACV, my warts were removed!
Thanks a lot to ACV as well as to this website! Apple cider vinegar really works! Trust me...

Apple cider vinegar also removes moles.
I have had several on my body and they are the only thing that I don't like.
I read about this and I took a new pumice stone and lightly scratched the surface of the moles to allow the ACV to penetrate. I wear a cotton ball soaked with it overnight for a couple of nights and I reapply it without a bandaid on during the day.
Within a few days that area becomes itchy and the moles flake off.
There is a small scar left behind which I apply pure vitamin E oil to. I would rather have a small scar that a brown mole. It (ACV) kills the fungi that causes the moles.
I recommend this remedy.

I tried acv and after about 20 hours had had enough of the throbbing and burning pain so gave up, but 3 weeks later they turned black and fell out.
Blown away with the results!

I have a total of four plantar's warts on the bottoms of my feet...two on each foot.
None of them are particularly big, but I was horribly embarrassed when I went to get a pedicure and the technician had to put gloves on because she refused to touch my feet!
I cannot afford to go to the doctor and have them remove them for me, so believe me, I've tried every over-the-counter treatment imaginable!
I recently heard about the ACV treatment and I started it last night. I'm really anxious and excited to see if it will work.
Reading all of these testimonials certainly makes me feel hopeful!

I have 3 warts on one thumb, 2 on the other, 2 on the palm of my hand, and a large plantar wart on the sole of my foot.
I, like most of the people on here, have tried so many methods, also including the doctor cutting them out leaving open wounds that went just under half a centimeter in!
A few days ago I have just started using the ACV method on just 3 warts including the one on my foot and I can see some results already !!!!!!!!!!
SO HAPPY!xxxx

I am 14 years old and I have suffered from warts for going on 3 years now.
I am way to embarassed to go swimming or tell my parents. So the warts continued to grow, and grow and grow. Till 3 weeks ago I counted 17 warts on my feet.
I started using ACV and within the next day they were noticably dying. I have to admit that it was kinda painful, but not as bad as everyone said it was. They were all gone by 3 weeks.
This site made me feel comfortable with out socks. FOR ONCE!
Thank you for this site.
Thank you for the person who discovered this amazing home remedy.
Thank you everyone else for posting your comments.
THANK YOU :)

I've been using this on a wart on the back of my hand as well as some on my feet. It seems to be working.
Here's what I've learned so far:
- Using a toothpick or stick of spaghetti to spread petroleum jelly or Carmex lip balm on the skin around the wart will dramatically cut down on the irritation to surrounding skin.
- The best way I found to keep the cotton on the wart was medical tape.
- Make sure the scab is totally 100% black before you try to pull it off, or let it fall off on its own. If you don't you could get bleeding, and then you have to let that heal before you can resume treatment. I normally had only mild tenderness while using this method, but when I put vinegar on broken skin I had to take it off in an hour.
- If you soak the pad of a band aid with the vinegar you can leave it on during the day and speed up the healing time without having to answer questions about why you've got medical tape on a body part.
The vinegar smell didn't bother me because I actually love the taste of vinegar. I did wash to get rid of it so as not to bother others if I went out, but I was sniffing my hand while falling asleep at night.
Oddball, I know.

I have been amazed at how this has worked!
I had warts on my hands and fingers when I was a teenager. I remember having at least 13 at one time. They eventually went away as I got older.
My oldest son had a wart on one of his fingers and then I started noticing one on mine. That one has now spread to 6 warts over the last few years.
I tried the apple cider vinegar 8 days ago on 3 of my biggest warts and I am happy to say that the largest one is completely gone and the other two will be gone within a week. I'm going to start using the vinegar on the other 3 tonight.
After the first day, they did turn black and were very sore to the touch.
It was well worth it and very cost effective!!

My daughter has had a VERY large wart in the crease under her little toe for close to three years now. It was so large, I didn't recognize it as a wart at first. Over that three year period, it has spread between that toe and the one next to it... in addition, she has gotten 4 on her fingers that we've been fighting for over a year with Compund W, freezing at the doctor, duct tape, and more.
Finally, we've been trying the ACV for the last week or so, and the smaller warts on her fingers are very black and scabby looking... that is encouraging to me. I feel like they will come off soon.
However, that large mass of warts under and around her toe is NOT turning black. It has only swelled very, very large and turned white. It looks like cauliflower. Is it taking longer because it is larger? Will it too eventually turn black and come off?
Does anyone here have experience to know if this is normal or if I should stop treatment on that wart?
Any advice, help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. I hate this for her.
Thanks.

I am so excited about the ACV.
It cured my 8yr old daughter's Plantar's wart. We had tried the acid approach, banana peel, duct tape -- to no avail.
The derm wanted to freeze it off but she was too scared.
So I taped the ACV soaked cotton balls on every night and after about 2 weeks, I was able to pull out her wart -- just like a plug. Her foot is perfect now.
We were so happy we both started screaming with delight !!!!

I have had this evergrowing wart on my cuticle for 9 years now. I do hair for a living, and always have it covered with a bandaid due to embarassment and not spreading it!
Due to the moisture with my hands always being wet, and the wet band-aid, it spreads into 3 huge warts on my finger. One overtaking my whole cuticle, and one on each side of the tip of my finger.
I've tried everything to get rid of them, freezes, salicylic acid, home remedies, no luck :( was so depressed over it, wanted to quit hair all togther!
I saw these crazy sucess stories about apple cider vinegar on here , and thought what the hell, I've tried everything else, and at this point I just dont want it to get any bigger.
I started the treatment last night, cotton soaked in acv, wrapped tape around it. Felt a tingeling, a little trob when I woke up, but these warts are so sore, nothing can hurt bad at this point!!
This morning I took off the tape and my warts are white, a little puffy, and surprisingly flatter and indented on one, and the seeds rose up on that one?
So far so good I suppose, my finger is definetly throbbing, but that's a good sign I think.
I will send in my progress in a couple days with good news I hope!
Sincerely,
A wishful thinker, Beni!
