Warts and apple cider vinegar, now I have a white kneehole !

Following a thread on here where someone applied ACV to a piece of cotton wool, sellotaped in place, left alone and the wart came off in two weeks I thought I'd give it a try.
I have a small (5mm) hard wart that has been on my knee for over 8 years, I've tried every over the counter remedy, freezing it, duct tape, asking GP (big no from them as it's now a cosmetic procedure)
So 2 weeks ago I started the ACV. Stung a tiny bit but not that bad. Left it alone for 3 days at a time, removed and replaced "dressing".
On Saturday I took off the cotton wool and this thing came out, like a white lump, looked down and there was a 1cm wide hole in my knee, and then it started to bleed like mad!!
Now I have a kneehole Blush that is seemingly filled with white skin, all round the hole is scabby and horrible. It's a good few millimetres deep!
I don't know if the wart is actually gone, how can I tell? I think I burned the surrounding skin!

Good job OP! I used banana peel and duct tape on several warts I had on my hands. Removed them within a week and never came back! No bleeding either 👍🏻

A week! That's fabulous, well done, did you take the duct tape off at all ?

I did it every night for a week. Took the tape off every morning and covered with a plaster and did the banana thing every night until it dried up to nothing but fresh skin! I was amazed

I am over invested in this thread.

Op you are a smashing healer. Can't say I'm not a tiny bit disappointed. I was hoping for a really nice scab that eventually dried out and lifted a bit to tantalise.

I appreciate I'm over invested but it's just flipping great Grin

You are a legend pinkrocker, best update ever. My twelve year old son has a wart. I am feeling in these Corona times blitzing it with apple cider vinegar could become a new form of family entertainment, I am sure I could also cobble together a vague lesson plan and pretend it was educational.

SO COOL! i want a wart now

pinkrocker · 25/03/2020 00:19

Grin @Goldenhedgehogs I could write a lesson plan for it! Been doing online ones all day so I have practiced Grin
I'll update tomorrow, because it has ALL COME OFF now! Just a shiny bit left.
