How to Remove a Wart on the Genitals
Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by the Human Papillomavirus. Otherwise known as HPV, the Human Papillomavirus is a sexually transmitted disease commonly occurring between people ages 17 to 33. There is no cure for HPV; however, you can treat genital warts at home to save the costly expense of having them surgically removed.

Remove as much pubic hair around the infected area as possible. Genital warts can bleed easily and the infection can spread if they are cut open. To avoid spreading the infection further, use a new, clean razor and anti-bacterial soap to shave. Shave lightly so that you don't accidentally cut a wart you hadn't noticed.

Clean the infected area thoroughly. Use a clean washcloth, warm water, and the anti-bacterial soap to wash the infected area. Once the area is clean, use a clean towel to pat it dry. Remember, warts are prone to moist areas. You will want to make sure the infected area is completely dry before continuing the treatment.

Saturate a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar. Then use the medical tape to hold the cotton ball in place overnight. Repeat the entire procedure nightly until the warts have turned black and fallen off.

Tips & Warnings
Check your progress daily: you should notice the warts getting hard and white at first. Then they will turn black and fall off.
Sometimes genital warts can be large and hard to remove. If this is the case, have a doctor surgically remove them.
