Apple Cider Vinegar Treatment Gone Wrong?

[LBell13]

I had a wart on my knee that I treated with apple cider vinegar.

The treatment seemed to work -- it turn my wart completely black, and last night I scrapped it off with a pumice stone, which left a little bit of a crater.

I had read online to keep using the vinegar after this point, so I put vinegar on it again last night. Here is where things went wrong. When I woke up this morning, an area the size of the nickel on my knee turned dark black.I think the skin may have died?

I'm not sure what to do now! Will this dry and fall off? Should I put neosporin on it?

Thanks for your help!!!!

Regarding apple cider vinegar and physicians for warts:  I'll take the ACV any day over any doc!  I went to several physicians for problem warts.  They'd burn them off; they'd come back a month later.  Wasted hundreds of dollars. I asked the last one about Apple Cider Vinegar and he kind of scoffed.

Four days of applying organic ACV and the warts disappeared.  That was three years ago.  Not a sign of them since.  Doctors have their place but most of the medical profession is a racket, in my opinion.  I spent pennies to cure something that they could do absolutely nothing about.  

People NEED to learn to self heal or we will not survive as a species.

Hi

I would advise that you refrain from applying anything on the area. The apple cider has an acid component which could have mildly burned the area. This should revert to normal thus, just avoid picking on this now. I would not advise applying any topical medications at this point as the area is thin and may only be further irritated. Just continue to observe this until the skin heals. Once it has healed then you may apply topical medications like a topical antimicrobial cream.

For warts, I would not suggest that you self medicate. Most medications for warts are abrasive and may require your physician to supervise in application of medications.
