Warts

We put ours on before bed and left them treated overnight. In the morning they were white any healthy skin around them looked a little red on some of them. It took them a few days at least to start turning brown. We had one that took probably a week before it started to turn, it was one of the smallest and newest actually. Some of the skin around them started to peel a bit too. We've been going for 2 or 3 weeks. We've had LOTS to treat though.

Yeah I am. I shower in the morning so I'm guessing the water would wash the acv off then.

It was a good few weeks, even a month. It was a big wart though.

It took at least a week before i noticed any changes in my daughters, so i'd keep doing what your doing :)
Fx something happens soon.

Will keep plugging along, thank you ladies :)

Would like to show you mine today, but failing with the photo upload thing.
Anyway it's still there and kinda gross, but it is definitely working. I have knocked it a couple of times because of where it is and made it bleed, but its all going to plan otherwise.

One of mine went black, but that's where the story ends! Hasn't fallen off or changed at all

Did you get the vinegar from the health food store?

My DS' turned black but didn't fall off for another couple of weeks, it took its time but it did happen.

I kept treating it when it was black. Kept treating for a time after it had fallen off too.

I stopped when I couldn't bear the pain and my toe was so tender. Was only semi going black, now it's black (no treatment in 5 days). No pain now either. I figured nothing was happening and was losing patience.

Only got the vinegar from Coles...so probably wasn't the good stuff like health shops sell

Hmmm- my DD said hers didn't hurt at all and she is a drama queen. We got Coles cheap vinegar too.

Mine never complained either but hers was on her hand.
Maybe the ACV isn't strong enough, we used the one from the health food shop.

DS only complained that his hurt once, but that was when he knocked one of his big outward growing ones which was tender to begin with and the whole reason we started this process. He never complained that the actual treatment hurt, which is different to when we used the wart off stuff from the chemist which he did complain about hurting. Oh and he complained once when I put the band aid on too tight. :redface:

We used the macro organics ACV from woolies. But again not on plantar warts just regular ones.

My two big ones are planter warts, stubborn things

Okay so i did some googling lol
It seems this treatment takes alot longer when it's a plantar wart, but it does work.
So i would try soaking the foot in warm water or ACV for 20ish minutes, then use a pumice stone to gently remove any dead skin.
Put some Vaseline etc around the wart so it protects the skin around the wart & then soak a cotton ball in ACV apply to wart & cover with a band-aid. Replace the cotton ball & band-aid daily.
Do the foot soak/pumice stone every 3-4 days.

Unfortunately it looks like it can take up to 2 months for the plantar wart to drop off but it usually becomes pain free within a couple of weeks :)

Thanks for that Cheshire, maybe I should get back to the routine then

Fx it works for you this time :)

They're back :( his two biggest ones are trying their darnest to come back. I think I must have stopped too soon after they fell off as the others are still gone. :(

:(
Give them another round of treatment.
Fx it doesn't take as long this time & that they don't come back.

Cheshire-when you say replace the cotton wool ball and bandaid daily, do mean just at night or during the day as well??

It says for plantar warts they should be covered all the time.
Some use the cotton wool/band-aid, others use the cotton ball/band-aid at night & just a piece of duct tape etc on the actual wart during the day.

Normal warts only really need to be covered at night & then aired out during the day.
I personally kept my DDs covered all night & morning.
Only taking it off after lunch & then putting it back on after her bath.

Great thanks.

So, I didn't do anything since last posting, but tonight I was picking at the part that had gone black and it peeled off!
