Warts are small, harmless growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While they typically pose no serious health risks, they can be annoying and even painful. One natural remedy that is often recommended for wart removal is apple cider vinegar (ACV). With the right approach, you could see results in as little as one day. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use apple cider vinegar for wart removal.
