Apply vinegar: Soak a cotton ball or small piece of cotton fabric with apple cider vinegar. Squeeze out the excess vinegar to avoid dripping.
Cover the wart: Place the vinegar-soaked cotton directly on the wart. Make sure it completely covers the wart and a small area of skin around it.
Secure the cotton: Use a bandage or medical tape to hold the cotton in place. It is important that the cotton stays in contact with the wart for it to be effective.
Leave overnight: Ideally, the cotton should stay on the wart for about 24 hours. If possible, leave it on overnight while you sleep for maximum effect.
Remove and clean: After 24 hours, remove the cotton and bandage. Clean the area again with warm water and mild soap. You may notice that the wart has softened or changed color, which is a sign that the treatment is working.
Repeat if necessary: Sometimes a single application is not enough. If the wart persists, you can repeat the process every night for a few more days. However, if irritation or discomfort occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
Caution: Although apple cider vinegar is generally safe, it is acidic and can cause skin irritation or burns if used improperly. Always use with caution, especially on sensitive skin or on the facial area.
Using apple cider vinegar to remove warts is a popular home remedy, but results may vary. If you have concerns about your skin or the wart is not getting better, it is always a good idea to consult a doctor for a more targeted treatment. This natural method is worth a try for anyone looking for an easy, inexpensive solution straight from their kitchen.
