I hope that anyone who searches this topic will come upon my story and trust me. Yesterday I was grocery shopping in Walmart and while buying salad dressing noticed a bottle of organic apple cider vinegar with mother. No kidding, my eyes teared up and I felt overwhelming emotions of joy and gratitude. A few weeks ago I hobbled into the same store and bought that product. It gave me my life back.
Last spring I had what I believed was a callus with what had to be a piece of glass or something in it on the ball of my foot. It was really bothering me so I dug around in it and eventually had a hole instead of a callus. It hurt even more and I was confused because I found nothing in it.
After a couple of days it calloused over even worse. It became pretty uncomfortable to walked so I started removing it again to relieve the pressure. That became a vicious cycle and it got the the point where I couldn't take walking on it if I wasn't removing it every 2 days.
To my horror I noticed more calloused areas popping up around it. I couldn't stand it. I had to remove them or else I couldn't walk. I was scared. I showed my husband, worried I had some kind of foot cancer. He said " honey those are plantar warts." I thought he was nuts. He had them as a boy and described what I was feeling. I started to believe him when that one "callous" became 25! All on the worst part of my foot they could be on! The pad of my foot turned into a mountain range of what appeared to be callouses. I could not walk. It was so incredibly painful. I am a very busy mother of 4 daughters and I rarely have time to sit. In a matter of a month I was hobbling on my heal the best I could. It was pure agony. I can't describe and never would've imagined this being so painful.
My oldest daughter had some warts on her hands when she was very young. We went through all the treatments any dermatologist offers and she suffered. Nothing worked. Eventually one day they all simply became covered in "seeds" and fell off. I knew nothing was going to work for my mountain range and felt totally hopeless.
I tried all the methods, over the counter, home remedies, anything you see when you Google wart treatment, I tried it and it rapidly got worse. I was in tears every night and not able to function daily. Doom is all I felt.
After reading the above testimonials I went for my last stitch effort. I went to Walmart and bought "White House Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with "mother". I soaked cotton tips in the vinegar and place one on each wart. I had no option other than wrapping my entire foot in duct tape because of the placement of the warts. The only way to saturate and soak them in the vinegar was to wrap it up in duct tape. I left it on from 7am until 8pm, then changed the cotton and duct tape. Slept with it on and changed it to fresh cotton and duct tape again the next morning. I did this for 3 full days, only letting my foot be without the dressing long enough to change it out. It was very irritating and painful during those 3 days. The whole bottom of my foot looked like a brain. The skin was very damaged but I had no option. The pain was worth it if it meant I could be free of what I'd been suffering through.
After the third day, I began to clear away some of the dead skin gently with a wash cloth. It was scary. I worried I was doing more damage but knew I had to press on.
By the end of the fifth day I was certain something was changing. The pain was gone and it began to itch. The warts revealed themselves. They were huge and gross! I knew it was working because I finally saw them for exactly what they were and not a callous. The vinegar had drawn them out. Those big monsters had been buried so deep in my foot I never would've thought they were actual giant plantar warts.
I'm going to try to make the rest of this snappy. The 6th days I saw all of those "seeds" I prayed would show up, letting me know my war against the warts was coming to an end. After only a little over a week I squeezed the nastiest substance out of each mountain. The substance was my practically liquified dead squishy warts losing their war on me. I was overjoyed and felt absolute total relief, emotionally and physically as I was left with 25 huge holes in my poor injured foot. I stepped down on the floor with my bare foot and rejoiced! No pain! On Thanksgiving day I was finally freed of this crippling condition and I am beyond grateful.
Please please save yourself time, money and pain, use any organic, raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar with mother. Exactly those words, any brand. Do it and leave it on everyday until they're gone and I promise they will go! With the severity of my case it was unimaginable that this would work, but I swear to you it did and I am eternally grateful. Remember, I firmly believe that I was cured in just a little over a week because I kept it on at all times. I do not think it would have worked so quickly if I hadn't left it on 24/7.
Prayers to you who are suffering with this. I hope you take this advice!

My last hope!
I, like many of you have tried every over the counter wart remover out there.
I've never had a wart, neither has my husband or our 4 kids. So when this "thing" appeared on the heal of my foot, I thought it was a callus. I left it go for about 18 months and just dealt with the on and off discomfort.
It grew to about the size of about a pencil eraser, and was creating a lot more pain when standing. So I decided it was time to file down and "dig" some of the hard "callus" off.
After one night of trying to remove my "callus" I woke up with like 5 tiny ones surrounding the first one. At this point, I realized it wasn't a callus, it was a wart and now.... Warts! Within a few more days, almost my entire heal was being invaded by aliens!!!
I started over the counter wart removers. After two bottles of compound W, my heal is still engulfed with even MORE! I then decided to use the freezes treatments..... Again NOTHING!
I came across this site yesterday and immediately began the ACV treatment. Now, since this infestation is on my entire heal now there is no way I can use a small Q-tip. I have to soak two cotton balls. After placing the ACV balls on my heal, I placed a half piece of paper towel over the balls then took a good amount of plastic wrap on the bottom of my foot and just crisscrossed the plastic wrap some what snuggled as to be a big band aid to hold the ACV balls in place. Then to secure, I just used masking tape on the plastic wrap.
Feeling a little discomfort, I let it go for a couple hours but decided to check before I went to bed. Omg, what I saw was enough to freak me out!!! I had, what I could see and my daughter.... 19 black dots surrounded by puffy white rings.
I am on day two now. And with all the other stuff I've tried NOTHING has started showing results as this did in less then a few hours.
After reading almost ever review on this site and what I've been experiencing in less then 24 hours you can bet your bottom dollars I will continue this till the end!
Who knew.... Something sitting in my cupboard this whole time I could have done this long ago! Lesson learned NEVER pick at what you may think is a callus! Do a test ACV treatment first!

This summer I found this website. I didn't believe it would work at first but the reviews gave me some hope to persevere.
I went along with the process for a single night and woke up with nearly all of my warts having turned black. Honestly this was the most progress I had made.
I repeated the process nightly for around a month. I slowly saw progress, the warts basically kept peeling off in many layers, until eventually, I can't really remember how but the warts just sort of got really small and didn't grow back.
I am left with small white scars where the warts once existed, but I honestly could not care less about them because I'm just relieved I don't have warts anymore!
Just adding, I bought the apple cider vinegar from Walmart for one dollar and it wasn't the mother one.

Yes, it works.
I was suffering with bunch of warts on my neck from last 2-3 months. And its really an embarrassing situation.
I Used Medicine like – Thuja 200c, Thuja Cream, ADEL 40 – Non Worked for me.
Then I used Apple Cider Vinegar for 4-5 days and all the warts are gone.
I pasted a cotton ball soaked in Apple Cider Vinegar with the help of Surgical Paper tape (Paste in a way to keep the cotton wet with the apple vinegar; just keep one hole to put more vinegar into it and then lock it completely) for minimum 7-8 hr. every night.
In morning wash it with soap and apply Thuja cream after the wart gets dry. I don’t know why I applied thuja cream but what I did I am just writing.
Within 2 day you will start feeling a sensation in the warts and after 5 days the warts will start drying-rough and color will change black and they will fall from the roots in maximum 10-12 day.
It doesn’t hurt but smell is little bad, in order to remove HPV virus one can easily tolerate the smell.
It worked for me and I pray to God – this works for you too.

Hi everyone,
I was lucky to find this web site.
I want to say thank you because my son, my daughter and my mother all got benefits from this method. They are happy now because they got rid of more than 10 warts totally.
Although they were sceptical at first in the beginning and stopped using the method a little bit earlier but finally they all got good results.
I hope all of you get luck, too.

I have had genital warts for several years.
I was aghast when I found out because I had only one partner who told me that I too was his first. At the time there was no known treatment according to the doctor. They explained that this virus can enter through the feet and spread to other parts of the body. I had experienced warts on my feet when I was a little kid and apparently the virus that causes warts never leaves your system.
Anyway, after looking at several remedies available on the internet claiming to be permanent but also being very expensive I found this and thought it would be worth trying.
I am already aware that ACV has a plethora of uses and health benefit, including curing strep throat, so my hopes were high. I was a little leary because the page stated that the only negative feedback seemed to be some pain mild enough to be ameliorated with tylenol or the like. But since I don't have $200 I thought a little bit of pain to facilitate using a $5 treatment was more than equitable.
Let me explain something... I have an extremely high tolerance. I have suffered from migraines for 20 years, fibromyalgia for about 10 years, I have 16 piercings, about 17 tattoos, and have gone through childbirth with no drugs, never crying or yelling the whole time. Having said that, this is absolutely, hands down the single MOST painful thing I have ever experienced in my entire life!
I could not stand it! I soaked a gauze pad in ACV and placed it on top of a pad in a comfy pair of panties, so it wouldn't soak through. After about 30 sec it started to burn. It hurt so bad that by the 10 min mark I was involuntarily shaking uncontrollably. It felt as if someone had filleted the thinnest layer of my skin off & it was just burning & throbbing incessantly. When I finally could not take it anymore I rushed to the bath to sit in cool water. It took a few minutes but it helped.
I will say that it must have been working though. The burn is caused by the acid killing it and even though I only had it on for about 10-15 minutes they did turn white so it must work. Just be warned that however effective, if you have warts in sensitive areas like genitals, you may want to reconsider.

I cannot believe that I can finally add to these testimonials!
I have had a mosaic plantar wart for over ten years! It grew to be about nickel to quarter size! I've just lived with it and the annoyance of some discomfort and lots of embarrassment.
I had it frozen twice by a dermatologist about five years ago but that only made it spread to my pinky toe. Finally this summer I decided to do something about it.
I started seeing a podiatrist every 2 weeks. The things he did to my foot... I could not walk, was in a wheel chair, and had to take off work for days after my appointments.
I then found this website and told my doctor about acv. He laughed at me! I decided l could not go back to him if I wanted to ever use my foot again! So I started consistently doing this routine, and now I am wart free! It only took about 3 weeks of acv treatment (after ten years of having the wart and 3 months of seeing the podiatrist I am in disbelief and total excitement!).
My treatment:
1. In the morning, file or trim any excess skin on top of wart, put tea tree oil and compound W on wart, cover with bandaids, keep on all day.
2. At night, soak in hot bath, file or trim excess skin, soak a cotton ball in brags raw organic acv, place directly on wart, cover with bandage wrap and keep on all night.
3. Also at night, take 100,000 mg of Vitamin A and one vitamin C tablet. (Not sure if these had any effect, but something worked!)
When I was still seeing my doctor I had tried acv inconsistently. It gave me excruciating pain where I had to take pain pills to even sleep through the night! But surprisingly this time, I felt only minor burning/stinging sensations! I was able to sleep through the the night and quickly saw that I was able to easily remove wart tissue and see pink skin underneath!
If you are in the midst of treatment, stick with it! I would always come to this site for encouragement because I thought I would never be free from that big wart! But now I am thanks to acv!

It took 8 weeks of consistent ACV / duct tape treatment for me to remove my three plantar warts.
The largest was right under my smallest toe, with a satellite wart half the size right next to it. I also had another large wart on my small toe.
My mistake was not treating the first wart properly when I first noticed it 8 months ago. I did visit my dermatologist when I initially noticed it and he told me plantar warts commonly go away on their own and if it wasn't bothering me I could wait and see what happens. Big mistake! It didn't bother me at all, and 8 months later as if overnight, 2 more large warts appeared. This is when I began the treatment in mid-August. I used:
1. Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar: Apply 2x a day for the first 3 weeks. After the third week reapply every night until needed (I'm on week 8 and still using it nightly).
2. Duct Tape: Use the duct tape to securely fasten the ACV swab directly over the wart.
3. Disposable gloves: Always use disposable gloves to reduce spreading warts to other parts of your body.
4. Cotton balls: Cut a cotton swab exactly the size of your wart. Do not be careless and cut larger because you will cause 3rd degree burn to healthy skin. This will slow down the healing process for both your foot and the wart removal.
5. Anti-bacterial ointment: Put around the cotton swab after it is applied onto your wart to reduce the infection of nearby skin.
6. Emery board: File 1x a day for the first 3 weeks. After third week file every other day.
7. Tweezers / nail clippers: After the first 3-5 days of using ACV you may notice hard white dead skin forming. Use the tweezers and nail clippers to carefully remove any dead skin and consistently do this (1x a day) until you remove the root of the wart. My wart was extremely deep and I had to use the tweezers sideways to scrape away the edges of white until finally after a few weeks I saw the end of the root. I didn't "pull" mine out as others did, I kept going with the ACV and eventually after a few weeks one day I took the cotton swab off and rather than seeing a deep hole with white at the bottom, I saw a deep hole with pink at the bottom. This is when I knew the root was gone.
8. Bath salts: Soak 1x a day in a bucket of very hot water either before or after you use the emery board.
9. Aloe Vera + Tea Tree Oil: After about 3 weeks of consistent ACV the skin surrounding my wart on my foot began to deteriorate. After the third week I would create a poultice with acv + tea tree oil and soak a cotton pad with it and tape it over my injured skin overnight. This helped the healing process.
All together I spent about $50 on these supplies.
The process was extremely painful for me, I have very sensitive skin and I would wake up at least once every night feeling pain. As the treatment progressed so did the pain and it wasn't until after about the 4th week that I stopped feeling pain.
Week 3-4 my entire foot and ankle were swollen. Soaking in water helped reduce the pain.
It took 8 weeks of consistency and my warts are just about gone. Don't stop just because the wart fell off, there is an entire wart under you may not treat if you give up too soon.
Good luck!

This is the only topical treatment that has ever worked for me - wish I had known about it when I had warts as a kid!
This time I had a very small flat wart on the back of my wrist - only ~1mm across and not noticeable. Ordinarily I would have left it, but was worried it would spread due to being in a moist environment underneath my watch.
I bought Aspall's organic cider vinegar and applied it to a carefully cut and folded piece of kitchen roll. I used microporus tape to hold it down. I also used a high end moisturizer (Aveeno cream) to protect the areas of skin around it that were starting to suffer, and an anti viral hand foam (from Boots) to reduce the risk of the wart virus spreading.
I applied this for 7 nights in a row - it wasn't massively painful. Each morning the wart was white and swollen, and over as the week went on, during the day it would become more and more black. After the 7 days the skin around the wart was becoming too damaged to continue, and the wart itself was fully black.
I left the area to heal, covering it at night, just to prevent any spread. It took around 14 days to heal, but when the scabs finally fell off the wart was completely gone. It's now been 3 weeks with no recurrence.
Probably unrelated, but I took vitamin supplements, including vitamin A in an attempt to boost my immune system during the treatment. I would guess it is a localised skin immune response being stimulated, as the swelling is probably the area filling up with white blood cells as it fights the virus.
Thanks and good luck!

Hello,
In this posting I would like to firstly confirm the effectiveness of apple cider vinegar (ACV) as a cure for warts, and secondly, I’d like to share my experience with taking care of genital warts.
OK. Recommending ACV is not quackery — it really works.
I’ve been afflicted with warts since childhood and I only wish I had learned about ACV sooner.
My childhood warts that were on my hands I got burned off with liquid nitrogen when I was a teenager. I remember how painful that was. Since I’ve learned about ACV I’ve successfully removed many plantar warts with very tolerable pain and I would recommend it to anyone ( soak cotton or tissue in ACV, fasten to the area before going to sleep using a band-aid, and remove come morning ). The warts might take a week to a month to disappear, but they really do.
I contracted genital warts about 15 years ago. When It first appeared, I had it removed ( via acid — ouch ) at a free clinic in Boston. Acid and a q-tip swap took care of it and it didn’t resurface for another decade.
And then… it came out of nowhere and manifested itself despite the fact I’d never had anal sex. It was horrible.
I tried ACV, but it burned like the devil and made sleep impossible. Then, on advice from this forum or another, I made the decision to dry the area out.
Warts flourish in warm wet environments, and wearing a tissue, day and night, really solved the problem. Once the area became less irritated by the moisture ( seemingly emitted by the warts themselves, as if they were creating their own atmosphere ) I could apply ACV without too much pain.
I really feel that pain control was the key to the situation. If the ACV was too painful, I would discontinue treatment. But once the moisture problem was contained, I could apply the ACV with a moderate amount of pain and today, the warts have gone.
I hope that others with anal-genital warts will read this and take hope. There is a way out and the cost is minimal. Walking around with a tissue is a little discomforting at first, but to me, it was the difference between success and failure. When pain is kept to a minimum, the desire to be rid of the affliction overcomes the fear of discomfort.
I wish the best of luck to all who read this…
Sincerely,
Boots

Tiny warts have popped up all over my face and body.
I also have skin tags that have popped up everywhere that I have an area that sweats, (i.e., underarms,neck, under breasts, groins, etc.)
I never had skin problems like this until just recently, now they're everywhere. I have too many warts and tags to treat each one individually.
Can I bathe in water plus ACV?
Tell me the best way to treat these skin problems. Thanks so much!

I had seen my doctor about a large, very painful common wart on my knee and he suggested covering it with duct tape.
This only seemed to make the wart an angrier bright red color and much more painful but I persisted for 2 weeks until I read the ACV option last night.
As instructed I soaked the cotton ball, put it on the wart, covered with a bandage and then put the duct tape strip over that.
This afternoon I removed it all to discover that the wart has shrunk, turned black in the middle and most amazingly in just one night NO LONGER HURTS AT ALL!!
Thank you all for recommending this and I will keep going until it's completely gone but being pain-free is the best part. Yay!!

Just started using ACV yesterday.
I have three common warts, one on my middle finger, and two on my thumb. I have had them for a year and a half, I have gone to the dermatologist twice, spent 40 dollars so far on freezing and some acid they put on. Those didn't work.
Heard from a coworker that acv works, so I looked it up and ended up on this site.
I just applied acv and wrapped my fingers up, I didn't know I was supposed to put saturated cotton on directly but I am doing that tonight! But, just from applying and wrapping the warts are turning black.
Tonight was a little more painful, but nothing unbearable. I can't wait for my end results!!

Just want to share this story in the hopes that people will be willing to try ACV! Thanks!
The first of what would be many warts on one of my hands appeared about three years ago. One way or another, that thing spread like crazy, and I ended up with six or seven warts on one of my hands.
I've tried everything: regular visits to the doctor for freezing, Compound-W, duct tape, essential oils, and even banana peels.
How I missed the ACV method the first 204 times I googled wart remedies is beyond me, but within a week and a half, I have gotten rid of stubborn warts that I've had for years.
All I did was take a small cotton pad, rip off a tiny piece and shape it into a ball roughly the size of the wart (be careful to cover just the wart and not your healthy skin-ACV will burn the healthy skin too, and it will hurt), stuck it on the wart, and sealed it with a bandaid or two. I went to bed and when I woke up in the morning, I peeled it off, ran a pumice stone over them a few times, and let them dry out for the day.
They were black by the first morning. The ACV hurt the warts a little bit-minor throbbing and occasional stinging, but nothing I couldn't handle. If it was really bad, I took a couple pain-killers and called it a night.
I did the ACV on every wart for about a week. I zonked out without doing it one night, but when I did it the next night, the pain was so awful that it actually woke me up. I figured these guys were about as burnt as they were going to get, so I decided to stop and see what would happen.
The next day, I looked down at my hand, and one of the warts had a really gross brownish/greenish pus coming out of it and I thought it was infected. I squeezed out the rest of the pus and put antibiotic ointment on it, but when I went after it with a pumice stone, the top of it peeled right off, leaving a white ring surrounding a little hole in my hand.
Turns out that the white part was just dead skin, and it disappeared in a matter of hours. In the hole, it was clear that there was healthy skin growing back up.
This exact same thing happened with every other wart, and after 24-48 hours, the skin is almost completely grown back, with no signs of warts anywhere.
I am so, so happy that something finally worked, and I am amazed at how quickly those stubborn things disappeared.

I had four warts on two fingers, I tried many different treatments to get rid of them: bana peel, frozen, duct tape, nail polish, over counter treatments until I came across AVC.
I tried it out though I wasn't very hopeful.
After the first night, 3/4 went black straight away. I saw this as a good sign so I carried on. Some nights the pain was a lot worse than others so I had to leave the AVC off for a couple hours.
After about 10 days, the warts started to scab over and the scab fell off.
Now the whole where they were has gone a sort of yellow colour and is filled with yellow puss. Is it infected?

My daughter had over 50 warts all over her body including some on her genitals area and face.
We tried freezing ( they always aggressively grew back and multiplied) , Aldara cream, tea tree oil, salt baths and loads of stress.
When we started to pray about it we decided to clean up her diet, sugar and gluten free.
Pumped her up on a multi vitamin, garlic, vitamin C and zinc. And lastly, the apple cider vinegar ( recommended only organic one with the "mother").
Covered them daily didn't let water get to them with the ACV and within the first week, most of them were gone or were so close to going :))
After finally 3 years she is now wart free since using the ACV treatment. Feel so blessed and appreciative.
Hang in there I know how it is :))

Hi. I have been doing the ACV treatment on my plantar wart for 3 weeks now ... every night soaking a cotton ball in ACV and placing it on the wart and wrapping a bandaid around it.
It turned black, yet has not fallen off. The skin around it is now white and hard.
I am concerned I am killing it too?
And around that, the skin is red and irritated.
Any advice would be most welcome.
Thank you!

My daughter had two large warts; one on her thumb and one on her pointer finger.
The doctor used cryosurgery twice and the warts were bigger than ever. He basically said he couldn't do anything else to help.
We applied the ACV for seven days, as detailed above and she peeled the warts off today.
As the warts turned black with the treatment, she would use an emery board to take off the surface area.
She is so happy they are finally gone!

I have had a wart under a toe on my right foot for many months now. I was going to make an appointment with a dermatologist but I found this and other sites with information about the apple cider vinegar treatment.
So last Thursday (13th August) I bought a bottle of ACV and started the treatment. I put a fresh piece of cotton soaked in ACV every morning and every evening. Before putting a new medication, I wash the wart using a sponge to avoid touching it with my hands.
After the first night, almost nothing had happened. At the end of the second day the wart was whiter and swollen. Today (15th August) the wart is still white, swollen, and the surface starts to peel off: there are some deep cuts in it.
Some healthy skin around the wart has also turned white (I might have exaggerated with ACV). I feel a little bit of pain in the wart from time to time, but it is still tolerable and it will go away after a while. The idea that the pain is caused by the fact that the wart tissue is dying motivates me to carry on.
From what I've in other comments, it can still take some time before the wart turns black and falls off. So I continue the treatment with patience.

I had a small plantar wart on the ball of my right foot, it would drive me crazy. Mostly because I am a dancer.
I was worried that the ACV wouldn't work, and that it would hurt, considering that I've had it for more than a year.
It didn't hurt at all! I used duct tape instead of a bandaid, and I used cotton pads instead of cotton balls.
Within one night it was gone! It had fallen off and left a small hole.
I could tell that it was gone because it didn't hurt to apply pressure to that area.
I continued to do treatment and all is well!

I started using organic, locally produced apple cider vinegar on my wart on my knee, and 6 days later I watched it fall off while in class!
What I did:
Every night before bed, I saturated a cotton ball in the ACV and plastered in directly on to my wart using sticky band aids (use several to avoid the plasters un-sticking and the cotton ball falling off the wart).
Then I would remove the cotton ball and band aids in the morning and topically applied ACV directly onto the wart throughout the day without using bandaids or anything to keep the moisture on the wart.
After doing this every night and day, my wart started to become black- after the first night, my wart had a black line through the centre, and from this point the amount of black flesh continued to increase daily.
After 6 days, my wart was completely off and now I am continuing to treat the area of the wart with milkweed and a blend of organic tea tree oil and lemon to avoid the wart from coming back.
I am also using coconut oil on the skin around the wart, and the acidic nature of the apple cider vinegar appeared to have burn some of the surrounding skin.
If you have sensitive skin, I recommend diluting the ACV before applying to avoid the burns.

I've used acv on my warts and it works!
I felt so ugly when I found a plantar on my sole. But I tried acv for about 2 months and it was gone.
Currently I have a common wart on my knuckle and just like in the photos it's turned black and I am now continuing treatment for 2/3 days to prevent it from coming back.
I've seen that common warts go away faster than plantar warts.
But the main thing is to keep it constant and the pain will be pretty bad. I used pain relievers and it worked fine.

After two visits to the Dermatologist for freezing at $40 (co-pay) a visit and no results, followed by $10 for Compound W and 8 weeks with no results, about 50 cents worth of ACV, a couple of cotton balls and a few band aids and the two warts on my left index finger were gone in one week!
The warts turned black in two days and came off in 7.
I have to say that the treatment did burn/sting and throb a bit, but definitely worth that slight annoyance.

I just wanted to share a story about using ACV to remove a stubborn periungual wart on my thumb.
I got a periungal (nail bed wart) wart on my left thumb about 6 years ago. I tried many different things to rid myself of it - burning it off, having it frozen off, and I used all over the counter treatments (Dr. Scholls, Compound W, salicylic acid).
Finally I came across this site and tried ACV.
After the first day the wart turned black. Then after 5 days it was completely dead.
It took some time to fall out, and I had to pick out some of the dead skin, but it has been months and the wart hasn't returned.

This is my third time having warts on my sole, with my previous two surgically removed.
The wart just kept coming back around the same spot and I'm so SICK of going to the doctors to have it surgically removed and having to endure the pain after surgery for about 2-3 weeks.
But it hurts so much walking around to not do anything, so I decided to give this method a try.
I have to say I was pretty skeptical about this treatment, especially so when I didn't feel anything after a few nights of treatment -- there was no pain and my wart didn't turn black.
I stopped applying ACV after 3 nights and I noticed the area visibly shrunk and the skin started to harden so I clipped it with nail clipper. I tried clipping my previous warts with nail clipper as well but this time it was different -- I could feel I was getting deeper.
So I continued the treatment and trimmed the area with nail clipper when the skin grew back. This went on for about a week or two and I realised a black spot appeared in the middle of the wart.
Continuing the treatment and more nail clipping helped removed the black spot and I'm still applying ACV now to make sure I kill the thing completely.

I have this wart on my finger, and it's been there for more than a year. I tried cutting it but it only made my wart bigger.
So I tried searching for remedies online until I came across this site.
I started to apply ACV on my wart with cotton balls and band aid. I noticed that my wart became darker, and after 8 days my wart fell off!
Now I'm just left with a small hole on my finger which I assume would heal in time.

I had a plantar wart on my right foot for over two months. It hurt so much I could barely walk.
After reading about acv I tried it.
I would soak a cotton patch and tape it directly on the wart. After about two weeks it started to turn black.
I then went to my doctor and had the wart sprayed with liquid nitrogen. I hurt bad for about 3 days.
I followed up for a week with acv patches. The whole thing turned black and one day peeled off like a scab.
The ward and root were completely gone, no more pain. I could not be happier.
So for best results spray with liquid nitrogen then follow up with acv it you want permanent removal of any wart.

I had two warts on my feet a planter wart and a common wart on my toe. I wanted to treat them fast so I tried apple cider vinegar and it works.
The common wart was gone in three days with no pain but the planter was much worse.
There was pain, a lot of pain. I woke up at night due to it, but I kept at the treatment.
A few days ago I soaked my foot while driving to the beach, figuring the sand would exfoliate a bit.
After half an hour of removing the treatment and walking in shallow water/sand, my wart, which had not turned black, became raised and just fell off as if it has been frozen off with liquid nitrogen. Amazing.
I recommend this treatment to anyone but young children due to pain.
FYI, ibuprofen helps with the pain.

Works great BUT the skin surrounding the wart is peeling.
Also have a nasty sore next the the wart. Maybe used too much of a cotton ball.
The pain is a throbbing pain but bearable. When I don't have the cotton ball on I use aloe Vera to treat the skin.
First time you take the bandage off is a shock! Skins all wrinkled and mine started peeling the next day.

I used acv on my wart last night for the first time and already it has turned black.
I thought it would at least take a couple days to see any major changes but after just one treatment overnight it has started working. So happy I can be done with this ugly wart soon.
I think it is working really quickly because I used a nail file to get some layers off the wart before using the acv and I think this really helped. :)

I just started using ACV on my two plantars and oh boy, are those puppies vacating the area! Its been just over a week and everyday I see an improvement.
One was about a quarter inch and the other smaller but both have reacted similarly and quickly. They are both starting to cone and peel which is PAINFUL! But the looks that come from pedicures and foot massages makes it so worth it.
Nothing worked for me, freezing, at home salicylic acid kits, banana peels, etc.
Several layers have already started to peel off and the bigger one has a dark tip that seems to be oozing.
Keep at it and hopefully I'll never have to see them again!

This really works. I did this for 2 weeks and I think its gone - I'm doing some extra treatments to make sure it is for sure gone.
Some things that helped:
- Use duct tape instead of a band-aid. This keeps the moisture in.
- Use nail clippers to remove the dead tissue and surrounding tissue (to lessen the pressure when walking). Make sure to sterilize them and DO NOT use them for anything else. I recommend disposing them after you are done (they are super cheap to buy so its not worth the risk of spreading the wart).
I've had this wart for two years now and this is the first time I've seen really positive results. It is painful at times because ACV is an acid an will eat away at your skin, but its worth the pain in the long run!
Be patient and keep at it!

Well I have to say I have been using ACV these last two days and I see a major improvement. I only have one small cluster and they are getting smaller.
I must say though that ACV is the most painful experience I've endured. I sweat and almost pass out from the pain but hey, awhile of agony is better than a lifetime of genital warts...I have been celibate for 6 months.

I was diagnosed with HPV this year. I was super bummed about it. I went for weekly cryo-therapy at the local walk-in clinic and each visit felt more and more awkward and embarrassing (The doctor was an older lady who definitely was not comfortable with me in her office, even though it's her job to help people, but I digress) plus the warts kept reappearing.
Eventually I read online that apple cider vinegar works so I gave it a shot. I noticed improvement within a few days.
I only applied it for about five to ten minutes a day. The kind I have look very much like pimples (though they don't pop) They swelled right up and turned white. It stung mildly and was itchy. The next day they kind of scabbed but then they dried up and disappeared. More have come up since, but I think I'm still early on in the infection.
One thing that is important to remember too is attitude. If you mope about it and let it get to you, that psychology will have an effect on your immune system, which will in turn be weaker at fighting off the virus. Remember that a lot of people get this, so there's no need to feel isolated and gross. Assert to yourself that you CAN deal with it and do all that good stuff your body needs (exercise, get enough sleep and eat well) and you will have a much easier time fighting the virus.
I've noticed that I only get outbreaks when I'm being idle and lazy and feeling sorry for myself. Also a pointer for the randy types, rubbing one out can definitely spread them around so maybe take it easy for a few weeks ;)
Keep your chin up and best of luck to you all.

I cannot overstate how well this remedy works. I had a massive plantar's wart.
I used the ACV method every night for about a month.
After the first few days, the wart began to break down and ooze. Then the roots became visible like black tentacles. Finally, I was left with a white crater.
I stopped using ACV, and it healed quickly. It was somewhat painful to walk on while the treatment was in progress, but it was worth it.
The whole thing was like a really gross science experiment.
I have also used ACV on small warts on my hand. It removes them in 2 to 3 treatments.

I've been a registered pharmacist for almost a decade now, and I can say both from personal experience and professional that ACV works.
It works faster, more thoroughly and less painfully than salicylic acid or cryogenic treatment methods.
A bottle of ACV, a box of q-tips or cotton balls, a roll of plastic wrap and some medical tape will wipe out just about any wart. It doesn't smell great, but it does the job.
Start by applying the ACV to the cotton, placing the moistened cotton on the wart and surrounding tissue. Then wrap in plastic to seal in the moisture (and some of the smell.) Reapply every 12 to 24 hours. The longer you can leave it on the better.
Wart tissue, especially genital, will first turn white. Further application should turn it black. Black is good-black means dead wart. The surrounding tissue may turn red.
If the pain is too much, slow, or stop treatment or apply Bactene if you have some.
Time and more ACV is all you need to eradicate just about any wart. Best of luck!

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY VISITING A DERMATOLOGIST!
Around early 2014, I developed a wart on my middle finger which was a huge embarrassment cause it was fairly visible... I went over to a skin doctor and paid for liquid nitrogen treatment (a method of freezing the wart) and some over the counter cream. Just as you would imagine, it all failed and the wart returned after a few weeks.
I was so worried sick that I decided to research a bit more on cures for warts, and I ended up on this site!
At first, my faith wasn't so strong in the apple cider vinegar treatment until I decided "Well, I've got nothing to lose anyway so I might as well try it out." - To my surprise, it WORKED 100%.
In the first two/three days, I felt some throbbing and my finger was in a bit of pain… After that (in about a week or so) it turned black and peeled off TOTALLY. No scars or pain left!

I was diagnosed with genital warts in early December.. and at 24, I was horrified.
Since then I have used all the creams available, gotten them frozen and nothings worked. On a recent trip to the doctors, I was advised laser treatment next.
Having genital warts (GW) alone is psychologically draining. I have never felt so dirty and down before, felt the embarassment of going to the doctors over and over to be told nothings working. Its been tough since the start.
This alone has scared me, so after months of debate Iv'e decided to use ACV at night time.
I'm running into my 4th night of this treatment and already Iv'e seen improvements. Some of the smaller ones are already gone. The bigger ones have turned blackish at the tips, and larger ones have turned white.
I'm not going to lie, I cried the second night of it because of the pain but I'm taking my time with this treatment. I don't want to rush it and overlook any other GW.
But Iv'e found using coconut oil around the area helps reduce the pain and heals the skin too.
I'm using q tips for cotton, soaking and squeezing out the excess then applying and securing with medical tape each night, for max 6 hours.
The last two nights I haven't used as much ACV to minimize skin damage, this might take longer to treat but I'd rather not be in pain and keep my skin healthy. I shower and clean myself every morning and use Sudocream to help repair this skin surrounding, just a small amount though to reduce moisture in the area.
I'm hopeful for the next week, and felt I should share my story because I'm sure theres other women/men constantly looking up reviews like I was to find a solution to genital warts. I've spent the last few months anxious and desperate to find a solution. But now I'm feeling more like myself again and I can't recommend this solution more.

ACV absolutely works, the main key is consistency particularly when you are starting the treatment. It may take about 3 weeks to clearly see results, and from then on you will continue to see quick progress.
I had two very painful plantar warts for about 6 months. One was the size if a quarter and the other on the other food was a much smaller wart the size of a dot. I went to the podiatrist for an acid and peeling treatment for about 3 months and it did nothing except exacerbate the condition.
I finally mustered the courage to stop going to the podiatrist and do the ACV treatment I read about on here.
I used Organic Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. I soaked q-tips with the ACV EVERY morning and placed the ACV on the warts. I would then let the area dry, to make sure the ACV had been soaked off. Next I took off the cotton from the q-tips (making a ball 3 times larger than my wart) and soaked it in the ACV, and then placed it on top of the wart, and then placed it on top of the wart, and then placed a bandaid over the entire thing. It is important to reserve time every morning to do this procedure.
Eventually after 3 weeks, chunks of the wart began to come off on their own, and I would brush it off with q-tips. After some more time, I found that if I picked on the wart with a q-tip stick (you just remove the cotton) even some more parts of the wart could come off. If you do this, just make sure you use sanitary tools and always keep the wart area super sanitary.
After 3 months the warts were completely gone. It was so relieving!!! I promise it works. Just stay consistent, sanitary, and also importantly - stress free. Your immune system will be a big part of the healing process.
I wish you all the best on your recovery!

I have had two plantar warts on my foot for years, one is very large and painful but the other does not cause me any discomfort. However, I am determined to remove these for my holiday in the summer.
I have tried all the different home treatments but nothing has worked.
I started using ACV as recommended two days ago. In all honesty, I am in a lot of pain when the ACV and bandage is on because of the pressure when I walk! However, I am already noticing more results than any other treatment so I am determined to stick with it!
The head has already began to come up which is why I think it is so painful. I am only using the ACV during the night or on days when I don't go out the house so that I do not have to walk much.
I will update my progress on the removal of my plantar wart. Fingers crossed!

This works! I hadn't seen my thumb in over two years due to periungal warts on both sides, and the dermatologist never got it right after 2-3 visits!
My boyfriend kept urging me to put coconut oil on it, obviously that didn't work.
I was so frustrated and kept applying the cream she gave me and nothing worked, I finally took matters into my own hands and after some research I decided on ACV.
After 3 days, one side of my thumb wart peeled off, and the other side followed after 5 days of treatment. Soo happy.
Basically it peels off like a scab. I knew my wart was ready after it hadn't turned more black after a couple days of application, and it stopped hurting when I applied the ACV. It was very dry, so thats when I knew to peel it off!

I had my doubts this would actually work, but it did.. It really did!
I had genital warts for a few years and nothing could get rid of it. I got some mean acids from my doctor that did nothing but cause me pain and empty my wallet. Eventually I got desperate and started searching online. I went through all of it, but in the end I read about ACV and thought I would have a go at it.
I read that people said the most important thing was to keep doing it. The first few times I tried it failed because I didn't see results fast enough. At this point I was very depressed because of it and it kinda ruined my life.
But third time's the charm, I kept doing it for a few weeks and the biggest warts started to turn black. Eventually they had shrunk up and just fell off in the shower and left some smooth pink skin that healed up over the next few weeks and blended in really nice with the normal skin.
I had some VERY small ones on the way too which I treated for a few days and they eventually just vanished on their own. I think once the biggest are gone, the smaller ones will follow.
I used Braggs ACV (With mother) and applied it to q-tips which I would hold on the wart for 5-10 minutes a few times a day. Some people report that it hurts a lot, but I just felt a stinging sensation. Sometimes it hurt a bit, but I knew it was because it was working, so I didn't mind at all. Every time it hurt, I knew I was killing that damn thing.
Another thing you can do to speed up the process is just to eat really well, drink lots of water, get plenty of sleep and lots of fresh air.
Don't lose hope people! You can get rid of this pest, just keep fighting. I was sure I would suffer from it for the rest of my life, but here I am today, three days away from the first real date I have had in years. Finally I no longer have to fear any embarrassment.

Worked great, even in a day or two you'll see results. It may take longer on some warts as opposed to others but it does work.
I had no pain or even discomfort.
What worked better for me is to only have the band aide on over night, then allow it to dry during the day. Also during the day you can remove the death skin that results from the vinegar and often turns dark or black.

Yes, it worked for me!!
I've had a small plantar's wart on my foot for so long, I can't even remember when I first discovered it. Years and years, for sure.
Like others I'd tried all of the big stuff (medical ointments, drops, freezing, having the dr cut it out) and it always came back. I eventually assumed it would just never go away.
I had heard things about ACV, but couldn't believe that it would work. But after reading all of these reviews, I decided to give it a go.
I dipped a small piece of a cotton ball into the ACV and taped it on my foot. At first I changed it about twice a day and covered it in a bandaid and with medical tape.
At first I wasn't sure if it was working and pain wasn't so bad. Then, a day or two in, the wart was clearly irritated and it looked 'raw'. At that point, I couldn't leave the ACV for long stretches, so would put it on over night because during the day the pain was too much (the pressure of walking on it was brutal).
At one point I worried that I had done something terrible (the pain was so awful and freaked out and thought that I had made a terrible mistake). When it would get really bad, I'd take off the ACV and let my foot breathe.
About a week or so into the treatment, my wart was gone. I wasn't even sure if it was gone at first, the skin was very red (as I said it just looked 'raw') and fleshy.
I decided that I'd give it sometime to heal and then start again if it didn't look any better.
The skin began to heal and a week after that I noticed that there was no wart. It was finally gone, after all of these years. I still stare at the sole of my foot, touching the spot where it was, and I can't believe that ACV worked and that I am wart free.
Stick with it, even when it hurts. Change the dressing often, keeping the cotton moist with ACV. Treat on a weekend when you can have a Netflix marathon and stay off your feet. If the pain becomes beyond bearable, let your foot breathe a bit.

I am so happy to have discovered this site, read everyone's testimonial, and tried ACV on my plantar warts! I said if it works, I will return here to write down my testimonial so it will help other people, like how it has helped me reading the testimonial of others.
Trust me this method really works and it is far far more effective than paying through your nose seeing doctors or trying any other silly methods and not getting the results you want!
Just follow the advice given in the 3 easy steps and it actually will work. Mine healed completely after about 4 weeks or less.
I used ACV when after visiting the Docs and applying silica acid drops for a month and not much improvement. So I decided to give this home remedy ago and I only wish I discovered this sooner before wasting time and money at the docs! Before seeing the docs I was suffering from the pain, limping for about 2 months because I didn't know what it was!
Thanks ACV for saving me heaps of pain, misery and money plus ACV is good for our health, so I've now incorporated ACV in my daily drinks and also using it as a toner for pimples.
The brand which I used to treat my warts was Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and then I also tried Radiant Organic ACV. Both works excellently. Thank you!

Apple cider vinegar works!!!
I had a huge plantar wart on my foot for about 3 years. It was huge and Disgusting and I was super self-conscious about it.
I finally sucked it up and went to a doctor to have it surgically cut out. That didn't work and it came back worse than before! I had tried all kinds of over the counter stuff (Dr. Scholls, liquid wart remover) and nothing worked until Apple cider vinegar!
I kept at it putting it on every night with little cotton balls the size of the wart and duct tape over that. I would sleep with it on if I could, but would take it off if it hurt too much. I used a scalpel to cut away the dead skin.
It wasn't an easy process and I was discouraged a lot, but kept at it. I would say about 3 or 4 months and it was gone.
I can't even tell you how much of a relief it was for that thing to be gone!
Reading the success stories on here really helped me so I had to share mine.

I had a small wart on my left thumb.
Tried the ACV straight away. After 3 days the wart has grown larger, harder & turned quite yellow.
Last night I couldn't sleep I was in so much pain. This morning removed plaster as it was so painful.
Will douse another cotton ball in acv today & hopefully will get some sleep tonight.
Will give an update if anything changes but so far I'm not really convinced.
Am I doing something wrong?

I had tried everything and the more I tried, the more my wart grew !!!
I had no idea where this was going! Then I came across this website. So I tried this home remedy: treating warts with apple cider vinegar.
I previously surrounded the warts with protective varnish to give maximum protection to the surrounding skin. I soaked small pieces of cotton in apple cider vinegar that I kept in place with large orange pieces of Macon tape, "it's the one that holds the best" on the skin.
In short, after about 7 days of intensive treatment, only interrupting for a shower - and being relentless ( replacing the soaked cotton and tape), so after about 7 days of pain and hope, I have won !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got it !!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 2 years of burns at the dermatologist and many remedies, the biggest wart, which started out the size of a pinhead, had grown to the size of a 2 euro coin!!!!!!!!!
In short, the treatment of warts with apple cider vinegar works. But,
It is important to carefully inspect the area with a light in case some new small warts appear. If they do, they have to be treated immediately.
Thank you!

I had a flat wart on my chin area, have been to the doctors for freezing but it didn't work.
Last week I decided to google about warts and came to this site. I went and bought Apple cider vinegar which has only 6% acid.
First two days it started swelling up and getting dark, after 4 days it really got dark and ugly to look at. Today is day 6 and really its working.
Since the wart is on my chin area, it really feels like I am having a tooth ache, so painful yet useful. I do my changing ever DAY TWICE, the black stuff that was hard and rough is off.
My pain is much but the reward will be greater. Its painful but worth using and I am almost at the last end. Can't stop now, is really working.

I agree with Noah's comment of February 10th.
I treated during day to avoid the pain at night.
A GREAT tip I received from this site is to surround the wart with Vaseline to keep from irritating skin.
I tried ALL over the counter stuff and they all failed. The pads, the liquid, freezing all got to a certain point but failed to totally remove wart. Kept coming back.
About 3-4 weeks of hard work with Apple Cider Vinegar finally rid me of the wart. Oorah!

Have been treating a wart on my left thumb under my nail for one week.
Applying ACV soaked in a cotton ball held in place with a band aid.
Just now starting to see the wart turn black with black dots of hairs appearing .
Instead of night treatment, I treated the wart during the day time because the pain of throbbing was to intense at night.
The day treatment seems to be working at last.
Will update when completely healed.

I have a huge plantar wart on outside of the ball of my foot. It is deep and seems to be rapped around my nerves. I have had it for 3 years.
I have been trying ACV, but it is soooo painful I cannot cope. I don't know what to do about the pain during soaking.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to manage the pain? Literally, it is the most painful thing I have every endured.

I had 3 plantar warts on my right foot and was using the wart off acid to get rid of them.
They started getting painful to walk on and kept getting more painful. Walking down the street was a nightmare with a never ending pain when I walked. After a few months I had to stop using the acid as it was burning my foot.
One day I couldn't walk it was that painful and made an appointment to go get them cut out it was that bad. After deciding to not get them cut out because I really didn't want to I started looking up remedies for warts.
I found this site and read all the stories of how apple cider vinegar works. So I gave it a try. Soaking my foot for 20 mins a Nite in apple cider vinegar and scrubbing the warts with a pumice stone. I wore corn rings during the day.
After a week of soaking the worst wart just peeled right off and was gone! The other two no longer hurt.
I continued to soak my other warts and the other one came off as I was using the pumice stone. I am not sure if it is entirely gone yet but it is no longer painful. The other one is being soaked right now and should be gone soon.
Apple cider vinegar does work!!! It has saved me so much stress and discomfort. My warts were so large and infected and then they were gone within a couple of soaks.
If you have plantar warts use this stuff first and after a few weeks you will see the difference- hopefully your warts will be gone like mine!
ps: I had no pain using the ACV

My son had a wart on his arm. We tried freezing it off 4 different times with over the counter medications.
My boyfriend suggested the apple cider vinegar since we had some in the house.
I cut up a makeup remover pad to tiny pieces and each morning I soaked a piece into the vinegar and placed it on the wart with a bandaid.
After school I changed it out and before bed as well.
After a week and a half it started turning black and porrus almost looked and felt like a pumice sponge. Finally this morning he itched it and it just came right off.
The only bad thing was the bandaid tape mixed with vinegar left him two cuts where we had taken the bandaid on and off again. Hopefully they go away soon.
The only complaint my son had was it itched and the first time we put it on, it stung a bit.
Great and inexpensive way to remove warts.

This thing works. I had a plantar wart for 2 months and went PCP and podiatrist.
I used over the counter wart band aids, freezing and so on. Seems like it worked but I could still feel it was active.
Then I tried ACV, after a few friends recommended it and I saw this site.
After first day, little bit blackish, then in 2 days most of it turned black. I applied it more often in a day. It was not fun, painful. However I am glad that I did.
In a week, its almost gone with a hole left, I still apply a little bit everyday to make sure it doesn't come back.

11 year old son treated. Single small wart seen august 2014, darkened with Frankincense oil. Used this several months then filed a bit and added oregano. Wart tripled in size in November, stopped oils.
Began ACV, duct tape over all warts 24/7.
DAY 1: 11-30-2014 12pm
After first ACV soak, wart got more discolored and now I can see 5 baby warts.
By 2pm a dark ring had formed, covered it in ACV & gauze.
DAY 3: 12-1-2014
2 times daily, covered with ACV cotton and gauze. Ring gone, puckered and seeds showing.
DAY 6: 12-4-2014
Soaked again. Warts turned yellow with dark seeds. Flashlight helps to see baby warts. Continued ACV soaked cotton, gauze and tape.
DAY 12: 12-10-2014
Switched from ACV and gauze because not sealed tightly and irritating skin around and on toe.
Changed to cotton swab tip soaked in ACV, sealed tightly over mother with duct tape, and duct tape alone on all of the baby warts 24/7.
After a few days, the mother wart is soft and raised and full of long dark seeds.
Now can see 8 baby warts around the mother wart, plus additional dark spots in area, also one baby just under middle toe, and one baby on big toe. The babies have come to the surface and have pits or white rings around them, look kind of like bubbles.
Continued duct tape on all warts and ACV cotton duct taped over mother 24/7
DAY 14: 12-12-2014
Son reported tape fell off after Karate and half of the wart fell off too. Dad said there was a hole there. Two hours later the hole filled in with scab-like area, and looked like this. Skin around it is very scaly from the duct tape and ACV, peeling top layer of skin and toe, including top layer of the baby warts.
Pinky toe nail turned purple, Dr said looked like trauma/bruise. I wondered if somehow this is from ACV?
DAY 23: 12-21-2014
Scaliness has cleared up now that I'm using just cotton swap tips, ACV and duct tape sealed over all warts, but all dark spots, mother and babies are still there, under healed skin.
DAY 28: 12-26-2014 1:30pm
Did 2 ACV soaks over Christmas vacation. After the first one, some of the baby warts were just holes, and the mother wart was just dark skin, it came loose easily from the foot with cuticle trimmers, no pain.
All the brown tops of the baby warts that remained came off easily also.
3:30pm
2 hours later the hole had filled in and skin dried out. Continued as if warts there, applied ACV cotton swap tip and kept duct tape over all holes 24/7.
2 weeks later in mid January, another small dark “scab” formed and easily came off.
DAY 57: 1-24-2015
Area of mother wart is pink and flaky. Dark area visible still where original wart started.
Baby warts can no longer be seen below toes or on big toe, but continuing to tape over them just where they were. Leftover duct tape adhesive and flaky skin obscures visibility into the skin.
We apply fresh ACV cotton swab tip and duct tape every night and leave it on until the next night. Son wears a sock over it all day to not accidentally pull the tape off. 3M Duct tape is the only duct tape we’ve found to really stick.
We are going to keep doing this until we see nothing at all and then a few more weeks after that!

I had a wart on my right palm since about November 2014 and used over the counter bandaid type salicylic acid.
It said treatment had to go on for 10 days but the bandaid wouldn't stick that long, so I managed 5 days. At the end, healthy skin around the wart turned into a deep raw pink cavity but the wart itself wasn't dislodged. The skin healed quickly & grew over the wart. I thought it was the end of it but by end of December the wart had persevered & grew bigger.
Skip to January 2015 when I've googled everything salicylic, I decided to do more general search & found this site. I didn't have high hopes for something so simple like apple cider vinegar to work despite all the sterling testimonials (I don't have great trust for internet testimonials, what can I say!) but I thought if it worked I owed it to this site to post my own experience, et voila:
I plastered on a bit of cotton drenched with apple cider vinegar & put it on overnight. I couldn't do it 24/7 because the smell would offend people. After the 1st day, the wart seemed to have shrank. Not much difference on subsequent days (to me anyway) and on the 4th day, I pried some peeling dry skin around it loose & the top skin came off & I saw the wart underneath the skin was whitish (initially) but then after a while oxidised or something and turned black. I carefully peeled the peeling dry skin around it & realised that the wart could be pried loose without any blood or real pain.
So I carefully dislodged it & the whole thing came off. It really did. There was a deep cavity left with a dark red (blood?) dot at the base but it only looked deep because:
1. the entire superficial layer of the skin was removed; and
2. the wart had impressed in on the flesh quite a bit so it looked a little deep.
I knew from the previous experiment with salicylic bandaid that the skin heals quickly & so it did, like in a day. Now (after 2 days) the skin is completely flat, although some dry skin is still peeling, and a small deep red dot in the middle of where the wart used to be. From other testimonials, I know I need to keep the apple cider vinegar on it for a bit more to make sure it's completely gone but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
TL;DR: IT WORKS. NO MORE WART :)

Testimonial: I had a plantar wart on my heel, very deep and painful. I could not walk on that foot, it was very awkward.
I did ACV treatment for about 2 months total. It could've been done sooner, I think, if I had done ACV treatment and then kept the wart covered with no ACV for 1-2 days and then ACV again, etc. meaning, getting it wet then letting it dry out, and wetting it again because it was so deep that it needed to come up.
I also had probably 10 smaller plantar warts all over both my feet that I had to treat also, it was a big pain and I spent a lot of time dedicated to getting rid of the warts. But now they are ALL 100% GONE.
I came back to the site today because I think I have a wart in the middle of the sensitive part of my index finger.
More of a nuisance than anything, but I know without a doubt that ACV will work. Thank you for putting this blog up.

Several years ago I developed a large lump just below my collar bone. It would bleed just from being touched.
I freaked out and and called a dermatologist, but there was a month wait for an appointment. So I turned to the internet for answers, and found out that the lump was most likely a type of wart.
Then I found the apple cider vinegar cure, and decided it was worth a shot.
It WORKED! Within 24 hours my large pulsating wart shrank down to a matted black clump that I was about to pull out of my skin with tweezers.
I continued to wipe the site down with cider for a week just to make sure the virus was completely dead. It healed and has never come back.
I have since used apple cider vinegar to remove two warts from my daughter's fingers and one from my son's toe.
For those spending more on organic apple vinegar, don't waste your money.
I have had nothing but success with the inexpensive store brand. It costs around $1.

I have had plantar warts since 2010. I had about 25-30+ disgusting and painful warts. The only big one was under my toe, the others were smaller.
I tried all of the over the counter treatments you can think of and different brands. Went to the dermatologist, he gave me pills and petroleum jelly with acid, it didn't work. I kept trying products from the pharmacy even home remedies, no luck.
After sometime, tried with a different dermatologist. Went through the freezing method it was extremely painful and expensive. I was paying the whole amount out of pocket as my insurance didn't cover. Did 5 sessions of this freezing, although it seemed to work it was taking forever. Dermatologist said maybe 10 more sessions. I couldn't afford it anymore so I stopped and went back to over the counter products. Also, soaking my feet in Epsom salts.
Then my grandpa brought me an orange stick called Excelsior from Mexico, it worked better. They became smaller and I started reading about ACV.
I bought two different kinds, Organic BRAGG for about $5 and regular ACV for less than a dollar.
January 7th was my first day using it at night. I took the cotton pad off around 1:20AM as I was unable to sleep from pain. I saw that there was a tiny black dot in some of them. From the reviews I read that's a good sign :).
Second day 1/8/15, since I am currently not working I put another set of cotton pads with organic ACV. So far it's been 3hrs, its painful but I am staying strong, going to see how long I last.
Will post later my results, hopefully they fall soon.
*****************************
Update: March 09, 2015
This is my final review. I started using ACV January 7, 2015 I had 25-30+ plantar warts since 2010.
This process of ACV took a little more than a month for me as I had so many and they were so painful.
I stopped using for some time to let my foot heal then I started again until they turned black then I pulled the black wart with some tweezers.
This does work, try it first before buying any "wart removal" pharmaceutical product.
Good luck and have patience.
