I just wanted to update you in saying that the ACV treatment worked wonders. As much as it burned whenever I applied it, it was well worth the trouble. My warts have completely fallen off! I am so happy I found this home remedy treatment and would recommend it to anybody with any type of wart(s). My advice is this: Soak a piece of cotton in ACV and use med tape to attach it to your skin (make sure the tape doesn't stick to any hairs or you'll end up giving yourself a waxing when you wake up.. OUCH!!) As much as it may sting to have it there, keep the ACV cotton on all night while you're sleeping. If the pain is intolerable, use a sleeping aid to help conk you out so you won't have to suffer for very long (Melatonin is great for this). In the morning, remove the cotton and wash off the vinegar with a warm wash cloth and antibacterial soap. If the skin gets irritated, put some Neosporin on it to help heal the healthy skin. Also, try applying some ACV with a Q-tip 1-2 times daily along with the over night treatment. It helps speed up healing. I also attempted dipping cotton balls in the ACV for this treatment, but it kept falling off. My advice is to buy those cotton squares in the makeup aisle of your pharmacy. They work so great and can be cut to fit any section you're trying to treat. Hope this piece of info is useful. Spread it around. No use going to the drs. for expensive prescriptions and such when you can do this easy and inexpensive treatment in the privacy of your own bedroom.
I appreciate you're response. I am starting to eat more nutritional foods and am planning on starting running again (I've had to stop b/c of a recent knee injury, not that you needed to know that.. hahahaha). I also am trying to reduce my stress levels in hopes that I can make my immune system stronger. I know genital warts are typically not dangerous, but I still do not like having them. Hopefully, I will be able to kick this virus' butt and reduce my chances of getting them again.
In July, I will be returning to my gyno to see what she has to say about it. I have a fairly mild case so I'm hoping, if I do have another outbreak it'll be as minor as this one was. Although the nurse practitioner said to me when I visited her that I can just wait for them to go away, I do want to get rid of them sooner rather than later. And I think that's what I'm going to do.
Thanks again for your time and trying to relieve my stress on it. Hopefully I'll talk to you soon. Take care.
They say you have to live with them forever. There is no cure. They can come back at any time. I am female, so I worry that they will come back if I were to get pregnant.
My advice to you, is to maybe talk to a doctor, and remove them. I think they can give you something topical. You don't necessarily have to burn them. You could freeze them. It's just nice to have them gone, and not worry about them spreading or transferring to someone else.
I wish you luck. I just wanted you to know that once you get rid of them, you should be good to go.
