[Warts And Verrucas] VINEGAR, VINEGAR AND MORE VINEGAR!!! You don't need to p...

rrrrrrichie- thats looking much better. let it dry out for a few days.

the two on my foot are sooo much better now, not sure if they have gone or not yet. but after 7 weeks or so of using the acv. i let it dry out for 3 days, as it was getting painful, I left it alone not cutting it.

then last night i cut the whole thing off!!!! crazy. there's no black bits and it sooo comfortable to walk on now after nearly 9 bloody years

hi thank you so much for this site it is fantastic i never thought that there was any chance i could get rid of the

thing so the stage i am at is that it went black and i now have a hole in the bottom with red skin but i still have a ring of black should i carry on with the vinegar thanks so much iv never been so excited to get rid of it lol I'm not sure how you post pics sorry

little update.

so the past 2 weeks.

5 days i used ACV on dampened cotton wool taped to the effected area with duct tape and secured with medical tape. i did not scrape or aggravate the area during this time. i replaced the cotton wool soaked vinegar 2 times daily to keep it potent. after 5 days i stopped and noticed a few of the verrucas going black. i then removed the ACV dressing and replaced this with duct tape and secured this with medical tape as duct tape tends to move about. again i did not aggravate the area at all in this time. when i took the tape off today there were 2 holes in my foot where some of the verrucas once were. one hole had 3 verrucas originally the other had 1.

the smaller and less clustered the verrucas the less it hurts. a while back i posted that i had around 40 and it f***ing knacked to have vinegar on it for even 1 day. now i do not have so many ( i will explain why in a moment) it was far less painful and i could go about my day quite normally even with the vinegar on.

so yes at one point i had around 40... one day i took the duct tape off and most seem to have shrunk and or vanished. i think this is mainly due to the use of vinegar and intervals of duct tape only while NOT cleaning or scraping the area during treatment. i would do the vinegar for a set amount of days then switch to duct tape only for a set number of days and then clean/scrape/dig at the area.

i hope this helps especially if anyone is struggling. i have tried everything bar banana skins.

freezing - did nothing apart from cause pain and im sure it made them worse.

the salicylic acid - BAD IDEA. if like me you have extremely sensitive skin do not use this at all. it didnt get infected but the whole area blistered over and oozed all the time. also no matter how much i used this and how aggressive i was it did not shift them at all and it hurt so much i couldnt walk for days or sleep.

nail varnish - for me this did nothing

silver nitrate - promising yes but can be painful. it creates a chemical burn. the reaction does not last long, i waited a day to peel the scab off. it did "eat away" at them a little but but one application is no where near enough if you have tons like me or a very deep one.

just duct tape - ok to start with but little to no effect if used alone for a long period of time.

home freezing kits - good as you can apply when ever you like but again painful and expensive and if you have loads i wouldnt bother. (i had a tiny verruca in the middle of my foot away from the rest that are on my heel. i used one application of home freeze kid and it went)

digging at it - OUCH id all ill say... oh and blood... lots of blood.

tea tree - nothing.

hand sanitizer - nothing

c-c-c-combo: duct tape, nail varnish, hand sanitizer - killed the skin and meant i could easily remove skin and keep on top of the issue of these things on my foot.

well this has been my experience so far.

maybe others have had different after all what works for some may not work for everyone.

i am going to carry on with ACV again on boxing day again and see what happens. right now its just taped up as i dont want to be uncomfortable for xmas as we are travelling a lot.

Just to share my experience. I have had a verruca almost 4 years. Last summer I tried Wartner which spread the thing like wildfire. Started to become painful and very unsightly.

In desperation I found this forum. Ten days ago I started the ACV treatment. It is clearing them up beautifully. Yes it is painful but stick with it. The results are absolutely amazing!!! I can finally go for pedicures again!

So happy I found this thread.

I've had a verruca on the ball of my foot for about 5 years and I, as well, have tried everything. I'm going to start with the cider vinegar tonight, I really hope it works but I am quite anxious about how painful it will be, Is there anything I can do to reduce the pain, if necessary? Fingers crossed it works! I'll update in a few days

Good luck olivia97. My intense pain lasted about 48 to 72 hours. It didn't stop me walking on it or driving or

Anything. I had just one night where it woke me up during the night as it throbbed but I was so determined to be rid of them. I am almost clear now and totally pain free. When I first applied the ACV I bet I could see almost 50 tiny black dots which I think were all verrucas. I have about 5 now. I am still applying ACV every day and filing away dead bits. I only taped a soaked cotton wool to my foot for one day and following this was the intense throbbing. After that I dabbed it every evening and every morning with a cotton bud dipped in ACV. It

Still did the trick for me. I hope you stick with it I am so happy with my results!!!!! ))

I tried this out last night and now I can't walk on my foot which results in me not going to school can you please tell me what's happened my foots gone all white and hurts when I try and shower its never been like this before. I've tried the banana peel it won't work, I've tried the duck tape its just made them spread across my feet, my mum paid for them to get removed about twice but nothing has made them go?

Please can someone tell me how to get rid of them its really embarrassing I can't do anything I want because of them, I can't wear sandals, paint my toe nails, I always get really nervous about my feet because of my verucas are so bad. They have been like this since I was about 7 and they haven't got the doctor said just wait for them to leave on their own accord but now I want them gone! Please help me much appreciated(:

How do you add photos to the website?

Hi Cath,

I've had a nasty Verruca on the sole of my foot for about a year, got to the point where it was painful to walk, found this thread & started applying a small square of lint soaked in organic cider vinegar & covered that with large section of duct tape, changed it every 24 hours. 4 weeks later & it's all gone

For years I've had an abrasion on my heel for as long as I can remember. Couple years ago I went to the podiatrist who told me it was a verruca. I was shocked, it never hurt and I'd never had one before. So we started the liquid nitrogen freezing treatment which went on for 8 months and it still remained. Costs me a load of money at £28 per freeze every fortnight and treated it longer each time but was told it was so deep it was connected to the blood stream and very resilient. The last time I went was 12months ago and was told by another practioner that it will eventually got by itself and she didn't want to treat it as scared of tissue damage.

So in the past month or two its flared up causing me pain. My husband said Google a natural remedy and that's when I saw this article about apple vinegar which I just happened to have in the cupboard. First go at it last night. Woke up to what looked like an erupted volcano. After digging off the surrounding skin I can see 2 black dots. Wow! What I spent on 8 months of professional treatments I got further with overnight vinegar at home. Wish I'd seen this sooner. Foot quite sore but results already. I will continue with this method till it's gone. Thank you

Hi charlene, I spent a lot on home treatment,freezing, ointment and plasters. Gp at time said they will go away in time, clinic refused to see me as didnt have rhumatism and was only a pentioner. Has arthritic problems but that didnt count. Now if required use vinegar care, which is easy if develope between toes, first sign start on vinegar.

Hello fellow verucca inflicted people... I have been using ACV on my verruca now for the past 6 days...I read about ACV On another forum...however it didn't say how painful it would be!!

I am very grateful to all of you who have posted their experiences and I'm comforted that it IS painful.. I was worried that I'd managed to infect it and had made matters worse

I have been removing the black bits with tweezers as I can't resist picking it. I now have a big hole in my foot. It's throbbing still. No more black bits tho...I'm going to carry on with ACV on little bits of cotton wool pushed right in to the hole! Holding it in with a plaster as have run out of duct tape.......

Hi, Might be wise to go easy on ACV for spell if black bits cleared and let healing take over.

Thanks for the advice, i did have to remove the ACV soaked cotton wool last night as it really hurt! After reading all the stories I thought I'd give my foot a break... It's a lot less painful this morning
