Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a popular natural remedy used for various skin issues, including the removal of warts. The acidic nature of apple cider vinegar helps to break down the tissue that forms warts, ultimately making them fall off. While some people report success with ACV for wart removal within 24 hours, results can vary, and it may take several applications to see complete removal.
How Apple Cider Vinegar Removes Warts:
- Acidic Properties: The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar can destroy the infected skin, which causes the wart to peel away.
- Antiviral Action: ACV has mild antiviral and antifungal properties that can help in eliminating the virus that causes warts (human papillomavirus or HPV).
