 2  Genital warts Had no side effects if applied correctly Forget Condylox. I tried it several times and my warts never fully went away and they always returned quickly. I went to a dermatologist. First he froze the warts then applied a substance similar to Condylox which I was told to wash off in 6 hours. After 3 treatments 2 weeks apart my warts were gone completely and never returned.

 4  HPV Incredible soreness, swelling, burning and some bleeding. I have an unusually high threshold for pain but this put me way over my tolerance level. I used it for one treatment week and I'm not certain the warts are gone because the treated area is so raw I can't tell. If they're gone, then it was worth it - if I have to do another week then I'm not certain. This site really helped me know that I'm not alone in this situation. If the warts are not gone after the first treatment I might ask the doctor about cutting them off. F 56 3 days

 5  Gential warts this works over any other topical method I was quite scared using this liquid but thought why not start very slowly first week, applied twice then increased with each week Iam now at 3 days on 4 days off and warts are dissipating When redness and pain erupt, i just stop using it, then resume again Use only a tiny smear across the warts and USE a hair dryer immediately F 50 5 weeks

 5  Genital wart - small This stuff works - basically you put it On in morning and night - seriously a drop on each wart - not much and leave it - it will look like nothing is happening for this first day or two but bam it starts to die and quickly for me - cleared out in under one week like it was never there - I had no pain but so amazed at how quickly it worked M 50 5 days

 5  HPV - penis Got these in college way back when, so I've had forever. Bad news - it's a virus, so you'll always have it. Good news - very common, you can have long stretches of time w/o them. For some people, they never return. Few key things to note: a weak immune system and stress will not help the healing. I know it's hard, but you're not alone. Smoking and drinking do not help. I don't smoke, but if I drink alot, I sometimes get an outbreak. Be healthy. Eat well. Less Is more. Apply ONLY to the wart. It is corrosive. LET IT DRY. I find 10-15 min enough time. The burning/rawness doesn't happen to me until day 3 or first rest day. Painful, but it gets rid of warts every time. I have tried cryo/freezing them off - this worked the first time or two, but only with isolated warts. I had a cluster and that seemed to make it worse. Condylox gel works best for me, but everyone is different. I've had lots of partners and lots of unprotected sex (right or wrong). Do not have sex when you have the warts. Period. If casual, no warts, wear a condom. If starting a relationship, condom and disclose you have it. Some are ok with it, some not - but you'll feel better you've done the right thing. BTW - my recurrences are much less. Maybe one wart a year, if. Same spot as my first wart years ago. I have also gone years without having any warts. Be healthy and happy. It helps. Oh, and regardless, it may sound funny, but I do check daily if I'm in a relationship. I use a big ol magnifying glass. M 46 3 days

 5  genital warts Burning and bleeding. Females listen up!! Second week on medication. You absolutely need someone to apply it to areas you can not reach, or areas that need to be held open to DRY! If you have them on your rectum...You will need monostat, clean wipes, and panty liners. Hold area open and apply ONLY to warts. Keep area open to air dry at least a full minute or you get it on skin that doesn't need it.That skin will die!A fan helps a lot! They do start to come off after the first week, usually when you wipe and it does hurt. You can get skin tears. If you do and it is on your rectal area, you must keep it clean and dry or you will get a yeast infection there. The areas weep and cause wetness. A yeast infection has a noticeable odor and the area turns white. Here is what I did. Cleaned area three times a day and applied monostat. The areas were bleeding and weeping so I used a panty liner. Peel off the back and fold it in half . Put it in between the buttocks to keep the area dry at all times. You may need to change it a few times a day till the area heals enough to stop doing it. Yes it is uncomfortable. BUT please listen to me and this will get you through it. I am on my second week. All 7 of my vaginal warts fell off the first week. 5 of my rectal warts fell off as well. You can do this!!! Remember that once they are gone you still have the virus and you can get more warts...and spread it to your partner. The quickest way to know if the virus is gone is a pap smear. Wait a month or two and get check F 45 8 days

 5  Genital warts This stuff is fantastic. Don't let all the negative comments on here deter you. Used properly it's practically painless. I had three small warts on the shaft of my penis. Used Condy 2XD for three days. Very carefully applied to get it only on the warts. No pain at all!! Two dried up and fell off on the fourth and fifth days during the rest period. The third wart required a second week of application. It fell off during the second week rest period. Excellant results!! Relief !!! Highly recommend! Just be careful to apply to the wart ONLY !!!!

 5  genital warts burning, itching after only one application cycle the wart eroded and nearly disappeared. my doctor advised me to use the solution only 2 times a week. this contradicts the normal regimin, but it seemed to work. however, he did prescribe vaseline to use around the area of the wart to prvent the solution from making contact with non-affected areas. i recommend this highly. most important: allow the solution/gel to dry before allowing the treated area to contact unaffected skin.

 4  Warts None Yet Everyone says "Let it dry". Okay, how long does that take? 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours? can someone please help me out? it's not like you can rub the area to see if it's dry or not... M 44 1 days

 4  HPV OUCH! Make SURE you use it as directed and ONLY ONLY ONLY put it on the bumps or warts. Hold any foreskin/labial skin AWAY from the medicine until it dries. After the 3 days on, it hurts a little, but it's the rubbing from underwear, pants, and running/walking that make it tender. Ugh, HPV. It's embarassing in the first place. I had flat raised spots on the head of my penis, about 7-8. They didn't hurt, but who wants to pass on HPV or have a 'cootie cock?' So I got the medicine. First off, get the GENERIC. Condylox is pricy. I got it from the internet, but you can shop around online at Walgreens.com, etc to find the lowest price. Don't freak out when it works...it's necrotizing, ie: it kills the tissue you apply it to. Generally I see very little, but a couple of the raised spots are now kinda black and scabbing...another slight ouch. This medicine clearly works, tho! And don't be embarassed...spread the word! Over 75% of the sexually active population has been exposed to HPV, and over 50% of us have it. M 43 3 days

 3  Warts on shaft Very little , some redness I been using it and im on my second treatment. After the first cycle during the rest period of 4 days they dried out and fell , but not completley i would say half the thickness is gone . They were not thick to begin with but just to give an idea of progress . Now on my second cycle week , tomorrow starts the off day hope the rest goes away . Many people said they came back i hope not . I had anal warts before 18 years ago i used imiqumod they never came back , i think another name is aldara . I will try that next if this stuff dont work . M 42 6 days

 4  anal warts works well. use the head of a straight pin to apply it. This keeps it off your healthy skin. Use a hairdryer to dry the medicine. warts fell off after 4 days. F 41 4 days

 3  Genital warts I have tiny little bumps under the skin at the base of the penis and extends about 1/4 way up, im talking like dozens of them that seem to have combined. Looks like lesions with some tiny little holes fir each wart ...a couple are large bumps under the skin with a wart visible from an opening. I just finished day 3 (6 applications) and in my first day of rest, and don't notice anything happening yet really, maybe a little flaking of the top layer of skin, slightly sore but not really. hard to tell, maybe the big one reduced 10% but so little it's hard to tell. The area is slightly sore, terrified about the next few days based on everyone's reviews here. I had to use it pretty much over the entire area since they are 1mm apart from each other. Probably like 2sq inches in total which sux. I'll update in a few days, wish me luck! My warts are flat, under the skin and I am skeptical that anything will get through the skin and hit the skin of the wart. Anyone else have similar warts with sucess? What is supposed to happen in the 3 day rest? From my understanding there is no accumulation of this drug and its fine in 5 hours until the next treatment... does this mean I should see results by now? Can't give an honest rating yet but wanted folks to know where things stand at the end of day 3... I'm trusting the process here. M 41 3 days

Patient History
 5  Genital warts Slight irritation around site of wart. For very small warts, this is very common since it is almost impossible to apply and not get any on healthy skin. This is basically for the guys out there who have penile warts. I have used it on 4 separate occasions and each time it works like a breeze. You barely have to use any - just enough to get a thin coating on the wart. After 3 days you may notice a difference or you may not notice much of anything and think it is not working. Stick with the instructions and take the 4 days off. Each time I used it, I noticed nothing until the 4th and 5th days, when the skin/wart began flaking away and basically falling off. I've never needed to use more than one treatment week on a wart. 3 days, morning and night (and you can be pretty relaxed on the time) and you'll likely be all through with it. Don't stress if you get a tiny bit on healthy skin. It does take a bit to dry. I give it at least 15 minutes just to be sure. **Feel free to email me of you have any questions.** M 40 5 days

 5  Genital Warts One little dot of gel on the wart works!! If you have big warts go get them frozen off, it doesn't hurt at all and if you are embarassed, do what I did, find a female dermatologist!! M 40 2 weeks

 4  Genital Warts I thought I would add my experience as I found all the others on here helpful before I started my treatment. I had 2 tiny warts at the entrance to my vagina, I'm on day 4 (1st rest day) and one has completely gone and the other faded. Freezing these had not worked for me. I have experienced no stinging or burning and absolutely no pain. I used the applicator to put two to three small dabs and I mean tiny amounts on my warts and one has kind of just shrivelled away. The other I can still see but it's fading. My experience seems to have been different to other people but I'm guessing that's because I put on such a small amount? When I put the solution on I just sat for a few seconds with legs open and it dried, again I think because I put so little on. I think this stuff is amazing but for anal warts it would be much more difficult to apply without getting on healthy skin. For where mine are it was quite easy with a small mirror. Only put on a small amount no matter where your warts are - also look at getting shiitake mushroom tablets to boost your immune system F 40 4 days

 4  Wart Lots of burning on days 2 & 3. Lots. It definitely FEELS like its working. This stuff worked for me. Keep in mind, it may take more than one cycle. In my case, I went in for chyrotherapy 3 times over 6 weeks to remove a large wart (about the diameter of a dime.) Chryotherapy managed to break it up alot. Condylox wiped out the stuff the deep freeze missed. By day 4 or 5, both treatments hurt the same amount. The wart was on the underside of the shaft of my penis. I used the gel for it. During the course of the day, the medication would come in contact with my scrotum. Irritated the healthy skin alot, so in subsequent courses, i protected the healthy skin with a band aid.
