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

To my absolute amazement two of the smaller ones have gone already, just the scarring left to clear (thanks for the tip on sudocream for that!). I actually can't believe it, after having battled with the blighters for years. As for the bigger ones, each night my big toe stings like **** but its a pain that I'm strangely relishing as I know it's working. Looks like the bigger ones will have a few weeks fighting in them yet but they're pitch black and it's a reaction the likes of which I haven't seen before. Although I'm on the apple cider vinegar, I live in a small remote town so it is own brand cheap stuff rather than organic or anything like that, but I'm so happy I found this thread.

Other than some residual "black" in the biggest, baddest one I had...the others are gone. After turning jet black, through teeth clenching pain, they became "hard" and eventually I just peeled them off, taking the chunks of black with the dead skin.

I am left with a few holes now though, I think some of them might leave some permanent scarring by the looks of things but I'm trying my best with Sudocrem to see how that goes.

But you know what? Scars I can live with after putting up with verrucas since 2008. An amazing cure - thanks folks!!

i've had a bit of a set back, where i thought it was just a little tender started to reform the hard skin, very quickly, so i've started again with the vinegar and although its sore i'm not getting the same result. i don't know when it will end, the white flesh seems to keep raising and although there are little flecks of black I am starting to think this is a lot deeper than i orginally thought. Help!!

Hi, I have a mosaic wart (a cluster of 6 warts on the bottom of my foot) and I really want to get rid of them! I have tried a lot of things but nothing has worked. I have been doing the white vinegar treatment for 4 days now, and the center of each wart is black. The skin around them is dead, but puffy. I soak a piece of goz with the vinegar and then tape it to my foot with waterproof medical tape and change it every afternoon. In the afternoon, I scrape the dead skin off using a needle and today, I stuck the needle in the black roots and it was extremely painful. I am going to a water park in 3 days and really want them gone by then, as they are super embarrassing. Anyone know what I can do to have them gone in 3 days?

Also, Should I let them dry out for an hour and then apply the vinegar? Would that speed up the process? Thanks!

carol05, it more than likely is much deeper than you originally thought. The biggest of mine, which was a cluster verruca, is now down to just a couple of black spots but you need to keep at it. Once the hard skin forms, I hack at it till it has exposed the softer skin (and the tips of the black heads) and reapply the vinegar. After a few days it goes really hard again, and just repeat the process. Initially because it was so big huge chunks of black, dead skin were coming off (though you could tell by the sinewy way it was peeling off it was verruca root), now it's just little bits. One of the other larger ones has gone completely, which was readily apparent when I removed the last of the black to reveal normal skin underneath (albeit a little raw).

Cc-2013: 3 days is a hard ask, and I think if there was a 3 day method we'd all know about it! I've battled mine since 2008 and this is the first treatment that has worked, but it did take a few weeks of applying the vinegar overnight, then removing the blacktape in the morning, showering as normaly and leaving it during the day.

Mike76 I think that is the case, that its a lot deeper than I could have imagined, I picked away at the skin and then it seemed there is a Ball of flesh that feels live, so I'm putting the vinegar on that and its been bleeding very slightly for the last couple of days, today feels slightly different/better. I have had the strangest feelings in my foot, from little electric shocks to a feeling of an elastic band snapping against the bone of my foot. Starting to think it maybe attached to a nerve!

I read about vinegar treatment last night on another site so I thought I would try it on a facial wart that I have had for about 18 months. I only had malt so I used that and left it on over night. Today my wart is nearly all

black. Does this mean it is working? It is quite painful but I can cope with pain if it means to get rid of it as it is quite prominent and really embarrasses me.

I decided to buy the Apple cider Vinegar, as i'd been using a "pickling vinegar". Its gone intensely black in the centre where the "ball" I'd described before was,after just 24 hrs of application. I'm just hoping this is the final root as its incredibly deep and so very painful. i'll look forward to my next post declaring the end of this awful ALIEN in my skin!!!!

I've signed up just to comment here.

For at least two years now I've had a huge verruca on my right big toe, I'd say it was maybe the same size as a 50p piece. It isn't painful to walk on but it is unsightly and embarrassing. I've tried multiple 'remedies' to get rid of it and nothing has worked. Last week the top layer of skin on the verruca peeled away itself and I thought it was maybe disappearing on its own but then yesterday it felt the same as usual - brick hard, almost like walking on a stone when wearing shoes. I've got fairly sick of it so I'm trying ACV now to see how things go. Before applying the ACV I decided to hack away at what skin was there. I've gone too far and ended up causing my foot to bleed but I applied the ACV anyway. It stings like hell but it's nothing I can't handle.

As well as the huge verruca on my toe, I have a number of verrucas (I'd say maybe 7 of them) on my left foot as well as a mosaic verruca which is around the same size as a 20p piece. I've cut the top from them away too and there's a bit of blood on one or two of 'em but again, I've gone ahead of put on some ACV. Perhaps with an open wound the ACV will be much more effective, I don't know.

I'd love to be rid of these verrucas ASAP but to be honest, having put up with some of them as long as two+ years, I'll just be happy for them to finally go. I hope this works so, so much

I'm feeling a little perplexed, I've already had the black mass twice now and its still bleeding, it was really swollen for a few days. The swelling seems to have gone down a bit but the black is still there and it seems that is coming from the sides not the centre, as it was previously. I'm actually feeling a little down as my foot has been sore for 2 months now with the treatment and I find it difficult to walk. I wondered if anyone can give me advice as to how it went nearing the end, just to give me an idea if im on the right track or should be heading off to my GP......

I have had a monster veruca on the ball of my foot for about five years. About three years ago another one came up next to it. They hurt like hell and going up the stairs felt like the tendons in my foot were wrapped in roots. I tried all manner of things to normal chip vinegar. Nothing helped. A friend told me about cider vinegar so I tried it. Been taping them up at night with cotton wool and cider vinegar and at last a result. All the dead infected skin has fallen off and they have almost gone at long last.

God bless cider vinegar took a sip of it the other morning and my face glowed all day ha.

I get sores up my nose too so have just tried it there as well. Will see how that goes.... mother nature is

Great...........

After giving up too easily the first time, I have decided to give it another go since seeing all the latest positive comments!

Its definitely getting better, but how do I know when to stop putting the vinegar on? Before the black was all gone but then it came back once I stopped putting the vinegar on, so I obviously didn't put it on for long enough. Also I have been using nail clippers as the black is so far in, so its helping to bring them out, however I think I can see slight bits of new skin underneath, but due to the vinegar it seems to be a funny colour - is this how its worked for everyone else?

The ones on my other feet which I tried before, have no black in them now, are just white blobs but haven't gone for ages - very frustrating, especially with the warmer weather coming, I want to be able to wear sandals and not have to worry about hiding my feet!

Any advice?!

Hi guys. So i've got a verruca on my foot and i've lost count of how many years i've had it.! So i decided to give it a bash of treating it myself as docs no longer remove them. So after some research i decided i'd try the nailvarnish anf duct tape. It definatly did something but i quickly grew fed up of it so turned to bananana peel. This also helped but i ran out of bananas lol. So i researched agai and found this and that apple cider vinegar seems to be the bees knees. I have been doing it for roughly 2 days and OMG painful!!! I currently can't sleep because of it lol. Strangely enough though i'm ignoring the pain as its making me think it is actually doing something :-) and i read that some of you guys had pain for a couple of days.. I am really hoping this does the trick. Anyways i will keep you guys posted. :-) x
