Detailed Answer:
Hi
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply
1. Apple cider vinegar cannot be used to cure viral warts.
2. You can use it for facial wart. It wont have side effects. But unfortunately it is nit potent enough and may not help in treatment.
3. Hence if you are looking for a remedy I suggest you see a dermatologist for prescription.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks...have few more queries.
I have come across some colleagues who have used it and have been very successful in curing warts by just applying apple cider vinegar overnight regularly for 4/5 days...even I did tried today and can see some improvment in just couple of hours. ...
I have read over net that we can applt it for 24 hrs at a stretch. .just curious will it have side effects in case of continuous application for so long?
I have consulted few dermatologists but they dont seem to sugest any permanent cure unless one time removal by laser etc...but can't confirm anything for non recurrence in future...its just that sooner you see a wart appearing better you go for removal...
Also have asked if any antuvirus ingestion can help? But again with no respite...
Suggestio has been to try homeopathy fot permanent solution...I 'm just confused what to do and where to go?

Brief Answer:
Yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi
You can use apple cider vinegar if you see improvement. This is not harmful anyway so you can use it if you find benefit.
Meanwhile you can have antiviral medicines. I doubt if homeopathic treatment is effective for this. Allopathic is better.
If the current treatment does not help laser is the option.

Yes
