Apple Cider Vinger on a wart?
I have used apple cider vinegar on a small plantar wart on my finger tip for almost 5 weeks now and it hasn't worked. The top layer of wart will get dark and fall off after a while, and the black dots (dead blood vessels) are almost consistently visible, but it still hasn't gone away completely. Any suggestions?

You might continue with it or look up for some home treatment against any warts.

Apple cider vinegar does not kill the virus that causes warts, which is the human papilloma virus (HPV). However, the acid in the vinegar attacks the wart area, which allows it to peel away from the healthy surrounding skin taking the virus with it. This method can be used on all types of warts except genital warts, which are caused by a serious sexually transmitted disease and should be treated by your health care professional. Depending on the size of the wart, it can take a week or two for the wart to be removed. Using this treatment on a planters wart can take a bit longer as this type of wart grows inward instead of lying flat on the skin.
