Getting Rid of Warts

Susan, I would first like to thank you for keeping this valuable site available to everyone. My 6 year old son had a wart directly in the middle of his hand. We tried all the over-the-counter remedies such as brush-on wart removers, the medicated discs with “discrete” bandages and the freeze-off, but nothing worked. Feeling helpless, I did an internet search for “home remedies for warts” and came upon your site. Using the ACV religiously on my son’s wart, we were able to completely rid him of his wart. As of yesterday, the last of the scab fell off. My son has set today aside to celebrate!

What we used/did:

Apple Cider Vinegar

Vaseline

Cotton balls

Waterproof medical tape (about 1’ thick)

Every night before bed I would coat around the wart with Vaseline so as not to damage the surrounding skin. I’d then pour a small amount of ACV into the cap and pull off a small piece of cotton (only the size needed to cover the wart) and dip it into the ACV. I’d then place it directly onto the wart and wrap his hand with the waterproof medical tape. He would sleep with it and wake up ready to remove it. We had to do this for about a month, but it’s now totally gone and my son is no longer self-conscious. THANK YOU!! Tanya Country of Origin: USA, Texas

I never would have believed it. I would have thought it was quackery. I’m a science teacher and doctoral student and thought I knew better. But, after months of using OTC “remedies” that did nothing on a wart on my finger, I gave the acv a try. I am shocked. Literally FIVE DAYS LATER the thing turned black and I picked it off. How the heck they get away with selling the other stuff (Salicytic Acid) as a remedy is beyond me. I would tell anyone that wants to get rid of a wart to spend five bucks, get a bottle of acv, some bandaides and cotton balls, give it a few nights, and save yourself tons of time, money and disappointment. Thanks for the web site. I just thought I’d add this testimonial to the others I read.

After a few weeks a top layer came off, I soaked it again, and another layer came off. After the third soaking, the main body peeled off like a scab, it bled a little. It left a red spot, but didn’t regrow, and months later, there was no sign of it having been.

I found this out accidently, in my teens I had over twenty warts of different sizes, the one on the palm of my hand hurt the most. I tried Wart Remover with no success. I had it cauterized, it regrew. One under a finger nail bothered a lot, but then after starting work as a spray painters in an auto body shop I noticed that all my warts were gone. One persistent wart was still on my left knee, about a quarter inch high, and a quarter inch across. It would catch on my pant leg and bleed sometimes, but I got used to it, remedies were useless. Then, over 50 years later, (I’m 82)I thought about my auto body experience and tried my wife’s nail polish with complete success. I tried it on some other skin (age spots) it worked on some, but not on others. It doesn’t matter if some polish gets on surrounding skin, unless you have a sensitivity. The method is inexpensive with very little hurt, and if you use flesh colored nail polish it isn’t very noticeable. It takes time, because your body needs time to heal just as any skin problem does, so try to be patient, and not peel off the poish prematurely, as it could bleed and hurt. Let nature slough it off. I wish you every success.

Sincerely, Don.

Tuesday, December 16, 2008 10:32 AM Country_of_Remedy: USA Ingredients: Apple cider vinegar, cotton, bandages Instructions: I would like to enthusiastically offer my support for APPLE CIDER VINEGAR in the cure of various SKIN AILMENTS.

WARTS: I dipped a very small piece of cotton in ACV, put this directly on the wart, then covered all with an air-tight bandage. I left on for c. 12 hours, then let the entire area breathe for 12 hours. I repeated for about 3 weeks, as this was a deep and large wart. The first 2 applications stung and throbbed a bit, but from then on, the entire enterprise was painless. The area eventually ulcerated–looks messy for a while–and painlessly peeled off. No more wart! As maintenance for about 3 more weeks, I dabbed a little ACV on the area, without bandage. The wart has not recurred after more than a year and a half!

SOLAR KERATOSIS: My dermatologist identified this on my skin just above my upper lip. She offered to burn it off with liquid nitrogen: no, thanks. I followed the same ACV routine, and it worked! Took a lot less time, as this keratosis was not deep.

OTHER SKIN GROWTHS: I am currently eliminating a little bump from my nose that I\’ve had for over 10 years: it is in the red and ulcerating phase and about to sluff off.

I am excited about the way ACV works to remove skin ailments! This method is cheap, safe, and natural. The skin afterwards is perfectly healthy and not scarred: quite preferable to liquid nitrogen or fluorouracil-5 or other harsh chemicals. Try it!

Dear Susan,

I’d like to thank you very much for your website. It helped me find my way to heal my warts, especially using ACV. Below is my testimony. Sorry that it is very long, but I thought that it might be helpful for some people who struggle against extremely stubborn warts. Please do not reveal my name or email address if you decided to post my testimony on your site. You may write that I am in Tucson, AZ. Again, my deep thanks.

____________________

This testimony is going to be long. If your case is not chronic, you may want to skip directly to the points I wrote in the end. For those who are facing stubborn warts, you might want to read this entirely. There is hope for cure.

Three years ago I had two warts: one between my toes, and one on my right index finger, just on the right side of the nail. I went to a doctor. He froze the warts using liquid nitrogen. After the freezing, the one on my foot became bubbly. Two weeks later, I returned to the doctor. He burst off the bubble, releasing some liquid. The warts was gone forever. The one on my index finger wasn’t completely removed. So my doctor froze it again. After two weeks, there was still a bit of warts there. But, silly me, I didn’t go back to get another treatment due to ignorance about how dangerous warts could be.

So the warts got bigger again, and eventually it became pretty disturbing. To get rid of it, I tried the over-the-counter salicylic acid. It didn’t work and in fact made the condition worse. I wouldn’t suggest salicylic acid for warts cure. Because of the treatment, the warts became even more aggressive, spreading to my other fingers, under several nail beds, and even to my left thumb. Finally I got 15 warts. Some were huge, probably about more than half-inch wide. They looked extremely bad and worrying. They hurt too. I had to put band aids on five of my fingers everytime I went out, because I would feel embarrassed if people saw the warts. It was terrible.

In Fall 2007, I decided that I would fight the warts with full force. So I started going to another clinic to get the warts frozen again and again. The liquid nitrogen didn’t work anymore. I had to come back every other week to get the treatment. I went for probably more than five times. Didn’t work. I was frustrated. The RN gave me a referral to a dermatologist.

So I went to the dermatologist. He prescribed me Aldara. Very expensive: hundreds of dollars. I tried applying it to the warts for a couple of week, but it didn’t work.

I went back to the RN to get liquid nitrogen treatments again because going to a dermatologist was too expensive. After several treatments, there still was no improvement! The RN, probably frustrated herself, suggested that I tried seeing a different dermatologist. I reluctantly agreed.

The second dermatologist tried a couple of treatments: one using cantharidin (beetle juice treatment). It didn’t work. The other treatment was using the so-called squaric acid. Still didn’t work. She finally gave me a referral for laser surgery – and a huge bill to pay. I was pretty upset with the situation.

One thing that I tried after that point was burning one of the warts using dry ice. Didn’t really work.

So having spent a lot of money and being clueless, I searched the net and found out about apple cider vinegar (ACV), including Susan’s website. So in December 2007, I decided to give it a try.

The method I used was similar to what other people say here: use a cotton ball, soak it in ACV, apply the cotton ball to the warts, wrap it with duct tape or the brown moving tape. I prefer the brown tape because it sticks better. Leave it there till the morning. There were warts on five of my fingers, so the treatment really sucked. ACV smelled very strong. The treatment hurt so much as well. I could not sleep in some nights because my fingers were throbbing like crazy. I kept doing it for several months with no result. But I was determined to be healed, so I kept doing it persistently. After four months, something happened: one or two of the warts looked drier. In April 2008, one of the warts was actually gone! So I persisted. I didn’t use cotton balls anymore since April, but what I did was soaking the warts for one and a half hour everyday (while watching movies). I saw constant but very slow improvement since then.

Now, there were a couple things I did simultaneously with the ACV treatment. First, going to an acupuncturist. Second, boosting my immune system with lots of vitamins and supplements.

Let me tell you about my experience with acupuncture first. The acupuncturist was a Chinese doctor. When he saw the warts, he immediately said that it was not a skin problem, but rather a digestion problem. My digestion, he said, was very poor and my blood circulation was also quite bad. So he gave me the usual acupuncture treatments on acupuncture points in order to improve my blood circulation. Nothing really happened. So then he tried something very extreme. I wouldn’t recommend it unless your condition was so bad like mine. The Chinese doctor finally started pricking acupuncture needles on my fingers surrounding the warts. So these needles were not on the usual acupuncture points. I’ve got probably 20-25 needles when I first came in. But because the needles were not on acupuncture points, they hurt so much. He left the needles on my fingers for about an hour. Afterwards he pulled out the needles, which was very painful. Then he pressed my fingers so blood flows out of the needle points. The reasoning was simple: he was trying to get my own immune system to fight against the warts by making blood flow to my fingers. Though it was very painful, I came back for many treatments. He also gave me Chinese herbs to drink three times daily. Then after several extreme treatments like that, along with the use of ACV, I actually saw significant improvement! So I kept coming to the Chinese doctor.

The second thing I did along with the ACV and acupuncture treatments was boosting my immune system. Here’s what I did: I drank Kombucha tea faithfully every day for months, I took colloidal silver, I took chlorella tablets, multivitamins, garlic pills, ACV pills, etc. I took some potassium pills as well because I heard that having warts is a sign of deficiency of potassium in our body. I ate lots of bananas, too. As I said, it was a full-fledged war against the warts.

Here’s another thing that I did: I applied tea tree oil frequently directly to the warts. It seemed to help make them gone faster.

Today, after 8 months of hard struggle against the stubborn warts, I’m very pleased to tell you that they are all gone. My fingers are as smooth as before. Even my nail beds are back to normal! Thank goodness.

So a couple of things that I need to underline:

(1) Be persistent against stubborn warts. Never give up. Let me say that again: never give up! Even if you haven’t seen any progress after months of treatments, do not stop. Try multifarious ways.

(2) Dermatologists and surgeons only cure the warts, but probably notthe real issue. The real issue might be weak immune system or poor digestion or poor blood circulation. I opt for boosting my immune system rather than spending a lot of money with laser surgery, which probably would get rid of the warts only temporarily. I’ve read many testimonies from people who got a laser surgery for their warts, but the warts came back after a period of time.

(3) My case was extreme. I took the wholesale approach, trying anything brutally because I was desperate. But one thing that I’m sure was the most responsible for my healing was the use of ACV. So do try the simple method of using ACV with cotton balls (leave the cotton balls all night), or just soak the warts in ACV for an hour a day. Other things that I did were probably helpful to make the healing process faster, but probably not all necessary for healing. I’d suggest that you simply try the ACV treatment and take multivitamins (especially antioxidants: vitamins A, C, E). Also, during the day, apply tea tree oil frequently to the warts. But remember not to overdo it if your skin is too sensitive.

Thanks a lot for reading my testimony. Sorry it’s very long. But I’d like to share my experience so people don’t lose hope against warts. All the very best wishes!

: jkelley@allegiance.tv Country_of_Remedy: USA, Texas Ingredients: Instructions: Hi Susan, I wish I had stumbled on this site about 7 years ago when I first started getting warts on my finger. After numerous trips to the dermatologist and thousands of dollars on medication nothing seemed to work. I have to say that I have about 10 warts on my finger. I have one on my index finger that is about the size of a dime and I tried the acv treatment last night on it and this morning I noticed that the wart has black seeds in it, indication that the wart is slowly dying. Yes, I was a bit skeptical, but after one night I can already tell that the vinegar is working.Wednesday, August 20, 2008 1:46 PM Name: Becky Alan Country_of_Remedy: United States email: Hmmingbrd1@aol.com

Ingredients: raw potato Instructions: Cut a potato in half and rub in on the wart. Take the other half of the potato and plant it outside for a plant next year (depending on the time of year). The wart goes away, and you have a potato plant the next year. My grandmother taught me this when I had a huge wart on the thumbnail and the doctor was going to remove the nail. This sounded much better!

Tuesday, October 7, 2008 10:14 PM To: Hi Susan,

Had a large wart on the back of my hand for years. Tried everything including 4 different treatmnets from Chemists and most of the Home Remedies listed. Finally tried Superglue and it worked. Just put Superglue on the wart, after a few days it comes off, then re-apply. The wart gradually shrunk until it disappeared completely.-Neville, Perth Australia.

Tuesday, September 23, 2008 11:38 AM I have hundreds of flat warts all over my legs. I have read all the remedies for getting rid of warts, but can’t find any for flat warts. I did try the apple cider vinegar on one of them and I think it may have worked. With them being flat, there is very little skin that peels off. It did make a scab and the area around the flat wart actually looked like a carpet burn. I don’t know if that was a reaction from the ACV on an area that didn’t have a wart. I haven’t bother it yet because I don’t want a scar. So, I won’t know until the scabs heals. My question is, if the apple cider vinegar did work, is there a way to do this without harming the skin on my legs that does not have a wart? They are the size of a pin head and some are very close together. How should l do those? HELP! I have taken tagament twice a day for almost a year, Aldara, burying the potato, you name it!

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! Darlene

susan, heres my history, thank you for the great initiative.

after almost 2 years with 1 small, 1 medium, 2 big sized warts, periungual ones, around my fingernails, i came across this website and learned how to treat this annoying thing with acv, but after few weeks of treatment, using a small piece of cotton soaked in acv, placing it upside the warts and covering them with a band aid during every whole night, the hard skin on them didn’t feel off, so i decide to use duofilm, and after 3 weeks of treatment as asked in its box, all my warts had felt off, so i started to repeat the acv-bandaid-whole-night procedure and after 3 long months, and many – layers – of black skin, new skin came from underside and now my finger/nails are one hundred percent clean.

some nights it was very painful, so i used remove the bandaid and free it.. but next night it was there.

periungual warts / verruga periungueal in portuguese / are very annoying as i said, but theres a total cure, a bit long, that demands patience but works like a charm.

just hope to help someone out there… someone like me that spent many hours surfing on internet looking for a wart removal recipe/remedy.

I have had warts FOREVER! I tried freezing them at the doctor’s; all I got was a huge blown up blisters on my fingers – and after they went down the warts were still there. I tried over the counter products – same thing; nothing happened. I tried duct tape, Seabreeze (recommended by a friend) and finally reached the conclusion that I would just have them forever – until I started taking CoQ10. They seemed to disappear overnight! One I looked down and they weren’t there! I couldn’t believe it! And they still aren’t there. I can’t explain their disappearance on anything other than just taking this pill. I would love for someone else to try this to prove my theory.

Friday, July 11, 2008 8:16 AM Name: Emily Country_of_Remedy: USA Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar, cotton, duct tape Instructions: I wanted to add one more positive account for the use of ACV in the treatment of warts. I had several warts on the bottom of my right heel – it started with one, but then became two, three, etc. All very close to each other so ultimately I had a spot the size of a Quarter that was all wart tissue. Gross, I know. I followed the treatment recommended by others on this site: I soaked some cotton in ACV, and then duct taped it to my foot. It seems to work best that way since your feet get sweaty and bandaids, etc. don\’t stick well. I changed the cotton once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once right before bed. As other have said, it did hurt at times, but I really really wanted these things gone! Considering the size of the area I was dealing with, it took a long time – about 2 months for the warts to go away completely. The skin would turn white, with little black specks in the middle of the wart tissue. Eventually the white part peeled away. I kept at it until the little black specks were all gone. I went to see a dermatologist a few times during the process. She was astounded at the results. It\’s been 2 months since my last ACV treatment and I haven\’t seen any sign of warts since. Thank you!!!

Monday, July 14, 2008 8:11 AM Hi Susan:

I had plantars warts when I was 19, laser surgery was painful. I am now 40 and I have them in a different place. So I googled and found your site. I though apple cider vinegar ..ha what a joke but let’s give it a try because I am not in pain and if it does not work I will go to the doctors which I hate.

Anyway after 4 days I am shocked by what I see! The largest and deepest wart has a black dot which means it is dead. No pain, no cost, no suffering. I want to thank you for this wonderful web site. In fact I would like to post a link for you on my web site, just for being so fantastic.

So then I know my blood pressure has been a bit high and I have a Dr appointment to put my mind at ease. BUT you see I am anti drug in every way shape and form. Both of my parents have/had (mom died at 60 ) high blood pressure. My dad is now battling borderline diabetes which killed my mother as well. So I went back to your site for a natural alternative. I say try the natural way before succumbing to meds. I saw what meds and doctors did to my mother. Watching her die a slow death has had a profound effect on my life. I lost weight and I exercise 5 days a week as a result but we all know genetics are a killer too.

So thank you for killing my warts because they are not pretty! Now let’s see what happens to my blood pressure. Love and kisses!

Sunday, August 31, 2008 1:58 PM Hi, Susan, I love your site. Looked up the wart remedies and I am set to do the ACV cure. Also, must agree that Mayo is the best thing for getting rid of head lice. It is a good idea to grab those shower caps from the hotel rooms and take them home if you have kids…they sure did come in handy! We mayoed, and then wrapped our heads in saran wrap and went to bed. Of course the mayo still got everywhere, but it put our stress to rest, and that was most important. Woke up to beautifully conditioned hair with no lice! I was hoping you might have some remedies for sinusitis, although I have found that after suffering each winter for years, and attributing it to being in a dirty classroom that does not have windows (I am a teacher) and being prescribed continuous antibiotics that included that horrible Cipro (which triggered a breathless allergic reaction that included itching from head to toe) only the regular use of a nettie pot brought reflief. So, for sinusitis, and to alleviate allergies, I recommend regular use of a nettie pot. All the best, Deb in Baltimore

Tuesday, August 26, 2008 8:05 PMI couldn’t see how to post to the web site but I wanted to share my story. I have had a plantar’s wart on the side of my big toe for over 2 years and had tried every treatment known to mankind. My sister found your site and shared the ACV treatment with me. I had nothing to lose so I decided to try it. Since I had the wart for such a long time, it took a month to get rid of but I can now say I don’t see any remaining part of it left. It was at times one of the most painful things I’ve experienced but it was worth and the progress I was seeing encouraged me to not give up. I’m SO glad I stuck it out. Now for the first time in over 2 years I’m wart free. Thanks so much for your web site and your readers reviews and input.

My daughter had a planter wart when she was little I did nothing and then she had about 10..very gross. I saw on the internet about zantac. Gave it to her once a day and they turned black and fell off with no pain.

My friend covered hers with a band-aid to hide it and it went away in a few weeks. She wasn’t even trying to make it. l seems to me maybe covering a wart with anything almost is the key. Maybe it stops the breathing or something. I don’t know, but it worked and is cheap and easy.

Friday, July 25, 2008 11:31 AM Name: Sheila Country_of_Remedy: USA Ingredients: Scrub brush Apple Cider Vinegar Duct tape Instructions: I have had four warts on my right elbow for quite some time now. And I finally decided that it was time to get rid of them. So each night I would scrub the warts down with a scrub brush. Then I would dip a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar. I would put the cotton ball on my warts and tape it with duct tape. Then I would go to bed. After the first night, I could already see results. The warts first turned a little bit white, then brown, then black. Today I was able to peel them off. There is a small hole where the warts were, but no wart! I think I will continue with the vinegar treatment for a few more days to make sure I killed the root. I will admit that I felt a little burning sensation at times, but nothing serious. If you have warts, try this: It\’s amazing and IT WORKS!

Ingredients: WITCH HAZEL, Q-tips.

Instructions: The wart on my lip is gone! WITCH HAZEL really works!!! Gradual, painless, no scars. For years, I had a lump on my upper lip. I thought it was a mole. A doctor burned it off once with liquid nitrogen, which left me with a scar and scab for a couple weeks. A few years later, it started growing back, gradually getting larger and larger and larger until it was a quarter-inch across and a quarter-inch high. After reading this wart cure website, I wondered if maybe it was a wart, so I looked at the lump through a magnifying glass and realized that yes, it probably was. I decided to try the WITCH HAZEL TREATMENT, since it was said to be gradual, with no ugly stages, no scars, etc. (I reasoned that if the witch hazel wasn’t strong enough to work, I could always try the harsher vinegar treatment.) I applied the WITCH HAZEL with a Q-tip twice a day — just dab it on and let it dry. (Sometimes I forgot.) After just a couple days, a thin layer peeled off, like sunburned skin. I continued using the Witch Hazel twice a day and noticed that the wart was getting smaller and smaller. Occasionally, another thin layer would peel off it. After two weeks, the spot was nearly flat. I forgot to apply the Witch Hazel for a few days, and when I went back to it, the wart was completely gone!!!!!! WITCH HAZEL WORKS GREAT! Thank you so much for this website!!!

Wed, 21 May 2008 21:00:39 -0700 Name: Dan Country_of_Remedy: Indonesia Ingredients: White vinegar and duct tape Instructions: Hi Susan, I can’t believe it really works. I’ve had disturbing plantar warts on my foot sole with cauli-flower shapes. At the first night, all I did is soaked the white vinegar in small cotton, squeezed it, put it on the warts, then covered it with duct tapes. The night went OK, but in the morning, I felt a really stinging feeling all over my sole when i walked. I swear i dont wanna do it anymore ….. (or so i thought) After a few days, the crater showed black dots, and after a few weeks, the warts has gone away. I suggest you do this remedy during the weekend, otherwise you can’t drive to work with this kind of pain. What amazes me is it only took 1 time of treatment and they all went away. I also suggest to soak our feet in warm water everyday so the sole will clean up faster. I really thank all of you who have shared your experiences. It saves me a lot compared to medical expenses. This website is really great !!!

Name: Vanessa Country_of_Remedy: Israel Ingredients: Apple cider vinegar asprin vaseline cotton bandaids q tips Instructions: Firstly Susan, thank GOODNESS I came across your website! My wart is completely gone because of this website\’s advice to use apple cider vinegar on a huge wart on my right ring finger. This is EXACTLY what I did: 1)I would take a small water bottle cap and fill it with apple cider vinegar. I would put vaseline all around the area of the wart so as not to hurt the skin surrounding the wart, and i would dip the wart in the ACV treatment for an entire episode of friends (about 20 minutes). I would also take an asprin because it hurt so badly! 2)Then after the treatment I would cut a small piece of cotton to be about wart sized, dip it in ACV, put it over the wart and keep it in place with a bandaid. 3) I did this once every day and finally after 9 long painful days the wart turned a disgusting brownish color with red and black speckles in it. It was completely black on the underside of the wart and was half ejected from the skin. I used a q tip to gently slide it out, as it bascially had already removed itself from the skin. 4)Just to make DOUBLY sure this disgusting thibng never comes back, I am using an ACV treatment on the roots, as I can still see little black and red dots where the wart was. I am dipping a q tip in ACV and holding on the root area 20 minutes a day, then doing my same bandage treatment. I plan to do this AT LEAST A WEEK so this thing NEVER comes back. GOODLUCK. And remember, it WILL hurt. When it hurts, the wart is alive and fighting. Pop an asprin to ease the pain, you’ll need it! This DOES work. I did not expect results and almost gave up in the middle but I’m so glad I didn’t. Try it, is is cheap and you have nothing to loose!

Wed, 7 May 2008 21:53:28 +0100 Two weeks ago I came across the Apple Cider Vinegar cure on your page for warts. Having tried for many years to get rid of the wart on my thumb, I applied the cotton wool soaked in ACV and taped over it. It was a bit painful at times, but the result was incredible. I applied the ACV twice a day and needed to file the wart down after the first week and now It has almost gone. It is well worth the discomfort as it actually works. I would recommend this cure. Thank you.Angela

Country_of_Remedy: USA Ingredients: Commercial wart removal freezing product. Duct tape. Instructions: I had the nastiest, most painful wart of my life on the very tip of my index finger. You soon realize how often you use (and bump) that finger. It looked more like a series of pretty sizable warts covering the tip and down each side of my finger to the middle of the fingernail.

I tried EVERYTHING. Apple cider vinegar, nail polish, garlic, aloe, duct tape, even had the doctor put on industrial strength Compound W, commercial wart freezing kit. Nothing worked.

Mostly just made it more painful. Finally, I combined two methods: 1) I followed the instructions on the package of the freezing method (which does hurt to hold it on their for 40 seconds), and then I covered it up with duct tape.

It\’s gone. Completly gone. I have a couple of other small warts that I just started to treat and they\’re almost gone as well.

Dear Susan,

Ingreidients: Duct tape, Lemon juice, white vinegar, Dr. Scholls Wart Pad

I am a college student, soon to be graduate, entering interview time and I have a pencil eraser sized wart on my right ring finger, prime location to be noticed! With little money I looked to the internet for help. After reading your site I decided to try a few things. I wanted to let your readers know that 48 hours ago I filed the top off of my wart, applied a lemon juice and white vinegar mixture (Watch out, it stings!) for an hour, and then soaked my whole hand in hot water for alternating bouts of 10 minutes for half an hour total (the time in between was to re-microwave the water). I then dried the wart thouroughly using tissues because they wick away moisture the best (do not use toilet paper it dissolves in water and will leave little bits of tissue in the wart later on) and cut a wart pad to size and applied. I held the pad in place with Duct tape because it is water tight if done right (and the kit pads just get wet and slide around). Now, exactly 48 hours later I opened up my “bandage” and my wart was a white puff with a white ring around it. I used cuticle clippers to remove the white puff and underneath the wart is flat with black dots where the roots are. (No pain! I slept in the “bandage” and everything) I filed off the black scabby bits ( Do not file until you draw blood!! Just lightly to start the sloughing) and now there is no sign of the wart, no hole or crater. I have re-cleaned it and soaked it again and have re-wrapped it. In another two days I will use Eucerine medicated ointment to heal the skin arround it! Please let people know that, if they already spent money on kit methods, the Kit’s can work they just need some good old fashioned help! I have a job interview in 5 days! Thanks so much for this site!!

Mon, 7 Apr 2008 07:45 Name: Noel Country_of_Remedy: U.S.A. Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar Duct Tape Patience Pain tolerance Instructions: I came across the ACV treatment on this site and I am pleased to report that it really does work. I had a wart on my left knuckle and it had been there for several years. My daughter also has quite a few warts on the tops of her hands and around the cuticle. So, I thought I\’d try it on myself first to 1. see if it worked and 2. see how painful it is. The first night I cut a little bit of cotton ball down to size, soaked it in ACV, squeezed the excess out and applied to wart. I had already torn my strips of duct tape ahead of time and then after applying ACV cotton ball, wrapped the duct tape around it. The first night, absolutely no pain for me, by morning, the wart had black speckles. Second night, it hurt enough that after 4 hours, I took it off – by morning it was starting to turn light brown. 3rd night still a little painful but not nearly as bad, it had turned brown at this point. 4th night, no pain – by morning it had turned black. I then let it dry out for 3 days and then I picked the black \”scab\” off (not at all painful to do this). It left a small hole in my knuckle but by the next day it had started to heal and close. 2 days later, the hole is sealed up and healing nicely. I have started this treatment on a large plantar wart on my foot and it is going through the same steps. I highly recommend the ACV treatment!

Fri, 4 Apr 2008 10:15 Country_of_Remedy: USA Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar Instructions: I know there are numerous postings on this method, but I am submitting it in again because it REALLY WORKS. I had two warts on my hand that wouldn’t go away using over the counter medicine, so I found this remedy on this site and figured I would give it a try. Within a couple of days the small wart came off and then about a week later the bigger wart came off. They seem to just peel right off. I know it sounds like it hurts but it didn’t hurt at all, they seem to just come off. The only down fall to this method is you smell like vinegar. I would put it on in the morning before work and some people asked why it smelled like vinegar, so I figured I would be honest and tell them the reason, they were over it pretty quick. So with that said, the way I did it, was take a small piece of cotton, the size of the wart, soaked in apple cider vinegar, squeeze out the excess, then tape it to the wart with a band aid or medical tape. I did it in the morning and at night before bed. I didn’t feel any pain or uncomfortable ness. Within a week or so they were gone, it was unbelievable. I have no scars or marks that they were there of any kind. Thanks Dan

Thu, 3 Apr 2008 21:31 Country_of_Remedy: US Ingredients: Multi-vitamin (like Centrum) Name: Joanne

Instructions: Vitamins! Of course this may not work for everyone, but I must say what I experienced myself: I had facial flat warts for a year and a half, with no signs of letting up. I tried Aldara prescribed by my doctor early on, but it made me break out so I stopped. I even tried apple cider vinegar but 1) the vinegar literally burns through your skin, which can scar, and 2) even the warts which I did burn off I could tell might have come back; they were still there but hadn\’t raised back up. I finally thought about the fact that what naturally destroys warts is your immune system, so I thought I should strengthen mine and started taking a daily multi-vitamin for the Vitamin C (I hadn\’t taken one regularly for many years) Within about a week and a half the warts were entirely gone. Again, perhaps this may only work for those who had the same immune system status as I, but it\’s so easy and I was so miserable with my warts that I just had to share! SUCH a relief!

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:37 Hi there, I’m e-mailing from Jersey in the Channel Islands, just off France. I found your site while looking for a natural remedy to get rid of a large wart on my thumb, none of the over the counter remedies worked. I have been using the apple cider vinegar & tape method for 3 weeks now & I don’t Know how to tell if the wart has gone, it’s a good job that I have a pretty high pain threshold as it at times there has been a lot of pain and it throbs. Can you please tell me how to recognize when the wart has gone ? I do not want to carry on with the ACV treatment if it has. Thank you very much. Annie Queree, Jersey, Channel Islands

Hello Susan, I just discovered your website. I have a problem with warts on my fingers. Like most people on your Warts page, I have tried EVERYTHING, from freezing them to over the counter medications, and still NO PROGRESS. I read all the reviews listed on your page, but didn’t find one that mentions the kind of warts I have, which are flat and around my finger nails. i REALLY would love to know if you have heard of any home remedies that would help me. I’m thinking about using the apple cider vinegar with cotton, but I’m not sure it would help, since the reviews mention warts that rise above the skin that are bumpy, that “fall off.” Do you know if the apple cider vinegar will work? Please let me know, as I would like to put an end to my problem and stop wasting my time and money on things that just don’t work. Thank you. Rudy

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 23:21 Hey Susan

Just wondering about the wart removal method of acv and tape.. I’ve just started doing it with about 7 or 8 relatively big warts and the first nite i applied this method some of them turned brown/black. However I have continued to do this but the warts only go big and white and do not change to a brown/black colour I was wondering if it mite be the tape not being applied probably as 3 of my main 1s are on my left palm and they are quite tricky to tape. Could this be the reason? Or is it just a long process for removal?? Any tips or advice please let me know

Thanks

Sun, 9 Mar 2008 11:45:42 Country_of_Remedy: Canada Ingredients: apple cider vinegar Instructions: Take a piece of cotton removed from the end of a q-tip, drench it with apple cider vinegar and place it on the wart. Place a bandaid or tape to keep the acv-cotton on the area (I use clear packing tape). It\’s best to do this before bed. Put on some socks too to prevent the bandage from moving around too much. The next morning remove the bandage. The wart and surrounding area should be puffy and white. After a few days of doing this you will see black spots in the center of the wart and the area will be very tender and painful to the touch. When the warts are black, leave the area alone so it can dry out. The wart will be hardened and fall off.

The length of time for treatment depends on how deep your wart is. I had several warts on my big toe that had been there for at least 10 years. I applied acv for a week, let it harden and the dead bits fall off, and then I saw there was another layer of wart underneath. I had to repeat everything again, and the wart became smaller and smaller each time. Finally the warts were much smaller but I didn\’t feel like treating them anymore so I left them alone. Over the course of a few months the warts just went away on their own! I now have one other wart that I did not treat yet with the acv so I am going to get rid of that one now!

This treatment is not for those with low pain tolerance. The vinegar makes your skin hurt after only one or two days but the pain usually faded for me the next day within 4 hours or so. However it really does work! No pain no gain!

Thu, 28 Feb 2008 21:23:24 My son who is 5, got plantars warts this summer. He had 2 on one foot and 1 on the other. After finally figuring out what they were, I tried treating them with over the counter products. First I tried the freezing method, it didn’t work. I also tried the Salicylic acid for weeks, that didn’t work either. I gave up on them for a few weeks and checked up on them last week, the bigger one on his foot was now double in size and it was multiplying, there were 4 smaller warts now around it. I was shocked, I had no idea what to do, I am waiting for my insurance to kick in, but that will be another 4 months. I also was scared, were these warts going to cover his entire foot? Would he be able to walk? So, I came across this website and tried the white vinegar dipped in a cotton ball and secured over his wart with a piece of waterproof tape. I did this every night for 2 nights (the tape came off during the day, he’s 5 and very active). Today I had him take a shower so I could reapply the vinegar for another time. He allowed me peeled away all of the dead skin on his bigger wart and off came his wart along with all but one of the smaller ones. I was grossed out and amazed all at once, so was he. We are still working on the other 2 and the 1 smaller one yet, but I’m sure it won’t be long. You have got to try this, it really works. I wish I would have seen this website months ago, it would have saved me $30.00, more if I would have taken him to the doctor.

HI!!!

I stumbled across your website after being told that I had Plantar’s Warts. I don’t have health insurance and I was told I needed Aldara for the warts, which costs about 300$!!! Without insurance! So I turned to the Apple Cider Vinegar and Duct Tape remedy…and in ONE DAY I saw results!!!!! It’s now day 4 and they’re practically gone!! Thank you so much for the readers’ input! Your website really helped me!!!!

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 10:30:15 -0700 Name: Mary Country_of_Remedy: Canada Ingredients: Bleach (clorex) duct tape, cotton ball. Instructions: Cut cotton ball the size of your wart. Dip it in bleach, squeeze out excess bleach, place it over wart, and put duct tape over it.Do this 2 or 3 times a day, (If you have that time) And within a week your wart will appear smaller and you\’ll see black roots which mean it’s dying. I have tryed this and it works!! I have also tryed acv, but it hurted when I walked and it made a huge crater on my foot. The bleach didn\’t hurt at all and no crater. I figured, when my daughter had her planters wart her\’s went away when she went swimming, we had a pool and buy the end of the summer it was gone. If you think about it a pool has chorline in it, which is like bleach. It worked for me. She tryed everything as I did and nothing worked.

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:45:33 -0700 Name: Jeff B. Country_of_Remedy: USA Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar, Cotton Pads used for makeup removal cut into small pieces, band-aids. Instructions: This is a follow-up report from my Jan. 8th entry. Folks, this really does work. As an example, in November of last year I developed another wart on the inside of my pointer finger. It seemed pretty aggressive compared to the other warts I have which are very flat, don’t hurt, and don’t seem to grow. Well this wart was more of a classic wart that hurt and had the cauliflower-like appearance. Then in late December, I started the ACV treatment per this site.

I had a lot of pain at times while the vinegar was on the wart, and I had to stop for a night or two here or there. Lots of swelling up of the surrounding skin, etc. A couple times I picked off some of the top layers of hardened dried yellow skin and then kept at it with the ACV. Finally, it looked like there were the small black dots that others mentioned, so I stopped using the ACV and let it heal. Well, now the skin looks totally normal except for a small smoothness in my fingerprint lines. No wart as far as I can tell, no pain under the surface when pressing on the area, etc. I think it worked!

Now, I do have some other warts on other fingers and knuckles that are small and flat like I mentioned above. I treated them as well, and while not as dramatic as the more common wart, these seem to be reducing as well. Also, the really painful periungual wart mentioned in my previous post is now almost gone. And this was after swelling up with even more pain during the ACV application, and looking almost like it was worsening.

I’ll keep going and report back when they are all gone, but I have to say to any who are still doubting, go get some fresh organic ACV, and start tonight. It really works, and as someone who has had warts for 75% of his life and tried almost everything, it\’s an amazingly simple and happy ending to a long and painful story.

Thanks for this site Susan. This treatment is testament to the incredible complexity of the organic chemistry of the human body. For all of the benefits of Western Medicine, there’s still a lot that we don’t understand. I\’ve never heard any doctor say anything at all about ACV, but it works!

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 01:09:05 -0700 Name: Stacy Country_of_Remedy: USA Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar Works! Cotton balls Band-aids Instructions: My husband has been battling over 50 warts on his right hand for over a year now. We\’ve tried the salicylic acid treatments with water-proof tape over it. That was only very painful and the warts ALWAYS came back and multiplied! As you can imagine, warts all over your right hand is a major embarrassment when meeting new people (shaking hands).

I was searching for treatments and I found “warts no more” oil online. It is very expensive, but the testimonials said it would work. We bought it, then bought the next strength, then finally bought the strongest formula they have “warts no more extreme strength”. Even after all that, there was little effect on the warts and this was after months of applying it 2-3 times per day!

Needless to say, this site was a God-send! I told him about the apple cider vinegar treatment I found on this site. He was skeptical, and to be honest, so was I. We did a “test run” on one of the warts and within 24 hrs it had turned black and was drying up! This convinced him to use the vinegar for all the warts. Now they are all black within 72 hrs and shrinking away to nothing!

How we did it: Take a piece of cotton ball and cut a small piece that will cover the wart, dip it in the apple cider vinegar and lightly squeeze out the excess. Place the piece of cotton directly on the wart and cover with a band-aid (I ripped off the pad part of the band-aid so it wouldn’t absorb any of the vinegar). Re-wet the cotton at least one more time per day. Since the warts were on his hand, he tried to avoid getting his hands wet during the day because warts love moisture.

He also had some athlete’s foot and toe fungus which I read on this site you can use apple cider vinegar on also! Who would have thought that a bottle of apple cider vinegar (about $2.50) at the store would cure my husband\s warts (and hopefully his athlete’s foot and toe fungus) faster than the “warts no more” treatment (about $120)! Thankfully, the warts no more has a money back guarantee because it’s GOING BACK!

THANK YOU for this site!!!!

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:30:46 -0700 Name: Imtiaz Syed Country_of_Remedy: USA Ingredients: Banana PeelBandaid Instructions: Cut Banana peel to appropriate size to cover the wart completely. Place the meat side (inside part of banana) and hold it in place with bandaid or other way.

Keep it on as long as possible. Replace banana peel as required.

The wart should disappear within two – three weeks.

Good luck.

Name: Jason Country_of_Remedy: USA Ingredients: Iodine Instructions: I had six warts on my foot for several years, including one on a toe. I had tried the over the counter medicine (salycilic acid), many visits to the doctor (I actually went to two doctors over the past three years) for freezing, acid, and laser one time. Nothing helped. In November 2007 a new wart appeared on one of my fingers – I started to panic thinking that I had an incurable case of warts that would spread to my entire body. I looked online and found this website. Started with apple cider vinegar – it was very painful at first – the warts did form a scab and after a few weeks, the pain was completely gone but I did not see any changes for better or worse. The warts were still there. I tried iodine – applied it several times each day (had a bottle at work and a bottle at home). They say the white (decolorized) iodine is not as strong, but that is what I used. And it worked. All seven warts have disappeared completely, no scars left. I once tried the brown, regular iodine but it seems it was not as strong.

I was looking at some of the posting on the International Home Remedies site and I’d like to share mine. I had a single planters wart on the bottom of my left foot for about two years in highschool, but it never really bothered me so I tried the wart removal pads but when they didn’t work I didn’t freak out, then in college I noticed they started to spread over my first year of college they spread to a small cluster on the pad of my left foot. I tried the removal pads again, the liquids and the home freezing kits and nothing worked. In fact I felt the freezing kits may have contributed to making it worse because the cluster spread even more. All the liquids and pads did was damage the skin surrounding the warts. I read about the vinegar treatments and the duct tape treatments and tried both with some success. What really worked for me was combining the two. I would use a Q-tip to apply the vinegar to my warts allow it to dry on the warts and wrap them in duct tape. It can be hard to get the duct tape to stick to your feet, especially if they sweat at night and I had to try a few different types of duct tape before I found one that stuck well. I still had to reapply the tape daily because it would come off at night or in the shower. My cluster of warts that was larger than a quarter and started to disappear after a month and was completely gone after about two and a half months and it was painless unlike the other methods. I highly recommend it.

Hi Susan I wanted to thank you for the apple cider vinegar wart remedy you published on your site. I have a couple of warts which have been impossible to get rid of with over the counter and Chiropodist remedies. I have a baby son who I bathe a few times a week. I had a wart on my left index finger which I worried about passing to my son. I picked up that wart while trying to treat the wart on my little toe on my left foot. I can report amazing success with the wart on my finger – all I can see is a small dot where the hole is healing up nicely. In a couple of weeks, there will be no sign of it. It took me about ten days of placing an ACD soaked cotton ball on the finger tip held in place with a bandage. It stung a little bit. The wart was clearly bigger than I thought – you can see it clearly when it swells up from the vinegar. The center turned dark but I persisted until it got quite dark in the middle. I figured that any stinging reaction meant that the wart was still fighting. After ten days, the sensitivity dropped so I let it dry out. I did remove the scab that formed but I resisted doing so for several days to let nature take its course. I’m still working on my toe but it looks a lot better than before – it had become worse after a Chiropodist had attempted to create an abscess on the wart to kill it. It came back in a much uglier form covering a wider area. Now with ACD treatment, it looks like it is retreating and dying. I have been afraid to show my feet in sandals and worry about passing the warts to others in pools or in my home. I am so grateful to you for spreading the good word about this miraculous ACD remedy. I hope to be wart free soon.

There is something about using a natural acid that suggests it would be both helpful and environmentally friendly. This is no crackpot remedy – it really works.

04-Feb-08 at 01:07 AM: NAME: Fred COUNTRY_OF_REMEDY: France INGREDIENTS: White Vinegar INSTRUCTIONS: I have had a wart now for five years. It was located on a knuckle on my right hand, it was therefore very prominent and very difficult to hide. In those five years I have tried everything and anything, even to the extent of putting super glue on it in the believe that this would suffocate the wart and therefore allow it to drop off. I had it frozen with liquid ice at the doctors which seemed to be successful but in fact was not. Then I came across this site and read an article by Melissa who had used white vinegar to banish her wart. I tried exactly the same method as she recommended and I am very happy to say that it seems to have worked. I currently have a crater in my hand but the i think that will heal in time and it is beginning to scab over even now. White vinegar works – pharmaceutical companies do not seem to know what they are producing because none of that stuff seems to work. Thank you so much for this site.

NAME: Moshe Fridman EMAIL: blessedpath1@hotmail.com COUNTRY_OF_REMEDY: USA NAME_OF_REMEDY: Plantar warts INGREDIENTS: Apple cider vinager, cotton balls, cloth tape INSTRUCTIONS: I wanted to add my experience to that of many people who have posted this remedy for warts. My teenage son had very stuburn plantar warts for over two years. We went to several doctors who treated them with freezing to cutting and various prescription creams over the years. Nothing helped and the warts started to spread on his sole. Finally we came across other people’s postings on the web about the magical vinager remedy for warts. First we had a doc cut the dead skin over the warts (as he did for many weeks before, but it always came back). Then with the roots exposed, we did as indicated: taped a piece of cotton ball soaked in apple cider vinager overnight, every night consistently, and after a couple of days the area became somewhat puffed and inflammated. After only 3-4 days they started to darken (in particular, you should notice the roots darken – looks like little black dots below and around the wart) until they became black and in less than 2 weeks they dropped dead and were GONE! This was many months ago. We never saw them again. We recommended this treatment to others and it worked for them too. Thanks you!

22-Jan-08 at 12:45 PM: NAME: JOE CALI COUNTRY_OF_REMEDY: usa INGREDIENTS: White vinega INSTRUCTIONS: This is a follow up to my last post a month ago. When the wart comes off you have a nice size crater in you skin. I kept putting the White Vineger on the crater for a few days just to make sure I killed what I call the seeds. Now you still have the crater but just wash it with soap and water when you change the bandaid. It is an open wound so keep it covered. Covering it keeps it from getting hit or scratched and getting infected. As a scab froms keep it covered but loose so the air can help it heal. If it gets wet use a new bandaid.

Two weeks after the wart came off it was in the open air stage. The way it heals is the skin at the bottom of the crater come up and the sides move in. It forms a lumpy scar that slowly goes down to skin level. The entire process is about 1 month till there is not scab or pain.

If you went to a doctor it would have been megabuck and maybe would have to do it twice and wait just as long each time. Thanks for the information. Joe

INGREDIENTS: One potato, cut in half. One back yard with real dirt. A little sense of humour ..and a dash of faith! INSTRUCTIONS: I know this sounds crazy, and I like the romantic notionof ‘old-remedies’ as much as many of them don’t work… but this oneseriously did. I tried using several goopy, acidic gels and such from the drugstore, tea tree oil, oil of oregano etc.. but when I was out in the country, with access to a real back yard, I decided to purchase ONE potato, just for this purpose and try it out. What harn could it do, and it seemed silly but fun. Well the potato juice kind of bubbled so I thought “it must be a chemical reaction”.. I buried both halves in a deep hole with my little nefew… and a week later when I srrived back home.. my wart was gone! All of it, the skin was getting back it’s normal pattern on the bottom of my foot, no red circle, nothing! I sloughed it with a pumice stone and have not seen it since! I think this is a real case of mind over matter! Have fun with it, try it and see the results!! (Now if I could just find something like this for my monthly pim!ples!)

Hi, I am a fifty year old woman from PA who found I had a wart for the first time in my life, on my hand three months ago. I bought some of the over the counter liquid wart remover a few months ago, After using this religiously I found that not only was it not working but that it was actually, I think doing more harm than good as the wart seemed to get bigger and also any of the liquid that got onto the skin surrounding the wart, got extremely irritated. I had remembered that when one of my sons was young he had many on his hands and it took many, many, many trips to the doctor to get rid of them ! So, I did a google search, came up with a ton of suggestions using vinegar. I figured I had nothing to lose, that was three days ago. This is just awesome !! It really really works ! I had no apple cider vinegar so I used white vinegar and did what the others did on here, using cotton soaked in vinegar and a bandaid to cover it. After only two days of this, the wart started to turn a dark brown, today it basically almost fell off. Yes, there is a hole there now , but the wart is about all gone. I will continue to use the vinegar to make sure that the root is also dead, but I am thrilled. I will be less likely to try over the counter stuff for things such as this from now on and much more likely to explore home remedies, that I am sure, worked for folks years and years ago. Thanks for this website ! Melissa

INGREDIENTS: Apple Cider Vinegar, Bandaids, Cotton pads INSTRUCTIONS: I had a really bad case of periungual warts as a child.All over both hands and many common warts too. I went to adermatologist, there were far too many to try cryotherapy. He used someunknown substance on me (possibly cantharidin or sqauric acid) and within acouple weeks all the warts vanished. Well, they came back in my midtwenties. I called that same doctor I had seen as a child, but he wasreluctant to help. Not sure if he remembered, or possibly he felt that whatever he had given me then was now unsafe. Anyway, the warts were back. At first just one, then more. I tried everything over the course of my 20s and 30s, Aldara, Cryotherapy, Duct Tape, etc. I went to many dermatologists. Most were too concerned with plastic surgery. One tried something a bit exotic, I can’t remember what is was, but that did not work.

So, now I am 40. I saw this page a while back and finally tried the ACV. I have not been able to do all my warts yet because of the hassle of putting on so many bandaids each night. It’s been about 10 days now, and many of the warts have turned brown, some have turned to blood blisters and there’s lots of swelling and blistering underneath the warts, especially one periungual wart. It seems like it is working, but I can’t say it’s cured me yet. Everyone seems to say that I should stick with it. I think my warts are pretty large underneath, they seem pretty hard to get rid of. But I am sticking with it. There have been a couple nights where the pain was bad enough that I could not sleep so I had to take the bandaid off of the most painful areas.

But I definitely have more of a reaction than anything else I have tried, so there is something to this whole ACV thing. And it is cheap and doesn’t require wasting time with doctors that don’t really want to help.

I will post again when I have final report.

NAME: Erik COUNTRY_OF_REMEDY: USA INGREDIENTS: Apple Cider Vinegar, cloth-tape (sports tape), Cotton pads – TOOK ONLY 3 DAYS!! INSTRUCTIONS: WhOOOO HOOOO!! I was totally skeptical about this “solution” BUT IT WORKS! I have had a wart on the palm side of my index finger for many months. It hurt and was causing me a lot of discomfort when I played my Bass guitar. I went to the Dr’s office and had them freeze it. For over 2 weeks the pain got worse and the wart seemed to continue to grow. I found this web site and decided that it was worth trying out since there was so much success with it.

Here is what I did:

I cut away the dead skin from around my wart that seemed to be due to the Freezing by the Doctor. I then took the top of a cue tip and removed the cotton. I dipped the cotton into a tablespoon of Apple Cider vinegar. I squeezed out the excess vinegar and place the cotton over my wart and put the cloth tape on to secure it. I wore this for 24 hours a day for 3 days. I changed this out 2-3 times a day for the next 3 days.

-Day 1: The apple cider vinegar did sting a little bit but WAY less than the actual pain of the wart.

-Day 2: By the beginning of day 2 the wart had scabbed over and turned black. I followed the instructions that I found here on this web site from other users and picked the scab off. It did NOT hurt.

-Day 3: Wart was totally healing. No more pain. I was able to put pressure on my finger again.. totally essential for a Bass player.

I then continued with the treatment. End of day 3, evening took off the cloth-tape and Apple Cider Vinegar cotton ball. Let my finger dry over night. -Day4: No pain at all. My skin is healing over nicely and no pain.

I totally can’t believe that the Dr’s office did not recommend this to me. This was such a simple solution and best of all IT WORKS.. ( at least for me.. ) )
