Papillomas and warts are those pesky skin growths that seem to appear out of nowhere and refuse to go away. While they’re generally harmless, they can be quite an eyesore and sometimes uncomfortable depending on their location. Over the years, countless remedies have been suggested, from over-the-counter solutions to medical procedures, but my Nana has a tried-and-true method that requires almost no work and has shown incredible results. This method has been passed down through generations in our family, and I’m excited to share it with you today.
What Are Papillomas and Warts?
Before diving into Nana’s trick, let’s first understand what we’re dealing with.

Papillomas, often referred to as skin tags, are small, soft, skin-colored growths that typically hang off the skin. They are usually found on the neck, armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts. Papillomas are usually not painful unless they are constantly rubbed or irritated.
Warts, on the other hand, are small, rough growths resembling a cauliflower or a solid blister. They can appear anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the hands and feet. Warts are caused by various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be contagious through direct contact.
Both of these skin growths can be stubborn, but Nana’s remedy works like a charm.
Nana’s Trick: The Magic of Apple Cider Vinegar
The secret ingredient in Nana’s trick is Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV). This common kitchen staple is known for its antibacterial and antiviral properties, which make it effective against papillomas and warts. The acidity of ACV helps to break down the tissue that forms the wart or papilloma, causing it to fall off over time. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use this magical remedy:
