Apple Cider Vinegar for Warts

Warts is a viral skin infection that typically causes formation of small bumpy structures on the superficial skin. These skin growths generally appear in clusters and are typically seen on the fingers and the feet. However, warts can also affect the genital and the rectal area. In some cases, warts appear as individual large cauliflower shaped bumps. Now, is there any natural remedy to destroy this Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection. It is elaborated below:

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
This is a natural product and is, basically, an acidic liquid that is obtained by fermenting apple juice. ACV health benefits are plenty and when used externally is very effective to treat sun burns and insect bites.

How to Use It
Use ACV when going to bed. Before using ACV, one has to first wash the affected area with a mild soap. Make sure the area is clean and free from dirt. One has to use a cotton ball to apply it on the area showing warts. Wet the cotton ball completely with apple cider vinegar and put it on the affected area. You can use the band-aid so that the cotton ball does not fall off from the HPV virus infected area i.e. wart. Let the cotton ball remain overnight and then remove it in the morning. One can also use a q-tip (cotton swabs) to apply ACV and then put a band-aid over it. Follow this procedure every night and the wart will disappear within a week. However, don't forget to use a new cotton ball, each time, when applying apple cider vinegar.

Basically, ACV is an exfoliating agent, which means, it removes the superficial skin along with the warts. In other words, the peeling agent (apple cider vinegar) gets rid of dead skin cells and the viruses breeding in the skin pores. With regular application of apple cider vinegar, the warts become hard and appear black in color, Eventually, it gets detached from the skin, without leaving any scars.

Using ACV for Genital Warts
Whether the location of genital warts is in the genital or the vaginal area, apple cider vinegar still works to eliminate the warts. The procedure of applying apple cider vinegar remains the same but keeping it overnight on body areas such as vagina, rectum, scrotum or the penis, can irritate the skin. This unusual burning sensation is painful and so to be on the safer side keep the applied ACV for a period of 20-25 minutes.
