| 3 | a | a | a | M | 34 | 55 days | 9/14/2004 | 5 | Genital Warts | Some burning | This is 1,000,000,000,000 times better than ALDARA. This gel is excellent...it cleared about 85% of my warts in the first application week. Thank god for Condylox Gel because Aldara is a horrible, horrible medicine for genital warts! Take this instead! I promise that you will not have to go through the hell I did when I was on Aldara. Try Condylox Gel!!!! | F | 22 | 2 months | 2/13/2005 | 4 | Genital Warts | Get it on healthy skin so I am in a lot of pain. Many warts already gone after first round of treatment. | Used years ago, but they came back a couple times. | F | 24 | 7 days | 2/15/2005 | 1 | Genital Warts | Lost all of the skin under my foreskin, completely burnt it off after 3 days so stopped using it. The warts did go, but this is the worst pain i have ever felt in my entire life | Will not be taking it again | M | 20 | 3 days | 5/29/2005 | 5 | genital warts | Some burning and rawness, but not too bad. Not using day 3 of round one because it's kind of raw now and they're gone. | 3 small warts that I've been embarrassed about... gone in 2 days. Woohoo. | M | 2 days | 12/18/2005 | 3 | genital warts | wow.. burning, itching.. very intense!!! i was not warned about these side effects by my doctor, and i too experienced the most awful pain ever!!! i cried every time i used it after the first day. what's worse, is there is nothing to ease the pain. you have to walk around with a sore, itchy gential area. by day 3, i could no longer take the pain. when i wiped after peeing, there were blood spots.. | it seems to be working.. but i dont believe this is for internal use on females.. i couldnt imagine that pain!!! | F | 22 | 3 days | 2/14/2006 | 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. | M | 44 | 2 days | 3/17/2006 | 1 | HPV-Genital Warts | A very painful chemical burn on the head of my penis which took weeks to heal. Inflammation, severe skin irritation. See my comments about freezing warts off, which usually eliminates them in one relatively simple procedure, with minimal pain. If possible, opt for that rather than using condylox. | Condylox takes a long time to eliminate warts, and you need to be extremely careful when you apply it. I ended up having the warts frozen off in a simple procedure at my dermatologist's office. I wish I had done this initially, and never used condylox. Ask your physician about freezing warts off, depending on their location. | M | 27 | | 3/18/2006 | 2 | genital warts | Itching, burning, slight bleeding. | I just completed my third week of treatment with condylox gel and not one wart has has gotten smaller or gone away! I understand the gel can be used up to four weeks, but I have a feeling it's not going to work. I experienced awful burning, itching and slight bleeding. I also noticed the treated area turned white during and 1 or 2 days after treatment. I used aldara before and recommend it 100% over condylox gel. My warts went away within 2 treatment weeks and I didn't experience any side effects. | F | 23 | 3 weeks | 6/10/2006 | 5 | genital warts | I used condylox for 3 days in a row and it removed all my warts. i used it 2times a day morning and night.then the 4th day i didnt use it.During these days i did have alot of unconfort. i had alot of itching and burning. My skin around the areas where i applied condylox was raw and bleeding. It looked like an open wound. on the 4th day once i saw that the wart were gone i applied neosporin to the wounds and my wounds healed in about 3days.This gel works to remove warts but it is very painful.I rather feel the pain then to walk around with warts.Any antibiotic ointment like neosporin would work to heal any wounds left by condylox. | It works but its a painful process.I do recommend it if you have warts. | M | 21 | 3 days | 11/1/2006 | 5 | one genital wart | open area after 3 day useage, but wart was gone | F | 32 | 3 days | 11/7/2006 | 4 | 2 genital warts on vulva | I didn't wait one time for the solution to dry, and it spread and caused swelling, open sores and was so painful I had to take vicodin. Any one else expereince an area by the wart that got inflamed and blistered? Neosporin does help after the 3 days, it makes it bearable. Hope scar tissue is not left | F | 30 | 3 days | 11/9/2006 | 4 | 2 genital warts on vulva | I didn't wait one time for the solution to dry, and it spread and caused swelling, open sores and was so painful I had to take vicodin. Any one else expereince an area by the wart that got inflamed and blistered? Neosporin does help after the 3 days, it makes it bearable. Hope scar tissue is not left | F | 30 | 3 days | 11/9/2006 | 5 | Genital Warts | There was slight soreness on the warts where I applied condylox. The slight pain did stop after the 2nd day of not using it. There was no blistering...or bleeding.. | This is the best to clear warts. I highly recomend it. I had 2 large warts and just completed my first week cycle...they are just about gone now. They scab up and turn a crusty brown..and within a week they came off....now there are only two tiny bumps where they were...I expect this to be gone after this week. | M | 38 | 3 days | 12/20/2006 | 4 | genital warts | the pain was horrible, soreness, burning everything...but the worst for me is the smell. its horrid, like rancid horribleness it makes my underwear stink. did anyone else have this side effect? your skin gets white like after you take off a bandaide..and then it reeks! | this is my second time using condylox. i used aladara in between but it never made the warts even buidge a bit. condylox works but its unbelieveable hell!! | F | 22 | 3 days | 1/17/2007 | 4 | Genital Warts | Burning, soreness and inflamation. I've been off condylox for 3 days and the worst day was the second day I was off of the medicine. I couldn't sit down in my car to drive to work, I walked like a duck because it killed me to walk normally. I've never been in this bad of pain. The medication definately worked but it continues to put me in pain now on the third day. I'm hoping things will get better soon otherwise I will be calling my doctor to get some kind of medication for pain. | F | 19 | 3 days | 1/24/2007 | 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 | 2/12/2007 | 5 | Genital Warts | Burning sensation, particularly on any surrounding unaffected skin; increasing soreness over three day treatment. | I had 3 small warts near the opening to my vagina. They were gone within 3 days; they turned white and after the 3rd day could be wiped off or scraped off the skin. I have been checking every week since November for them. It is now April. In January I noticed one very tiny wart had reappeared, but it disappeared after one application and I have experienced nothing since. I'm hoping it stays that way; after another year I'm going to assume I'm cured. | F | 26 | 3 days | 4/6/2007 | 4 | HPV - Genital Warts | Burning sensation in the affected area. To measure the pain, I would say it was about a 4 out of 10. That's it! | Much better than Aldara cream which was ineffective even after weeks of use in my case. I've used Condylox for one full-week cycle and my warts are disappearing. It's an amazing feeling when they start to go away. I'm so happy there's finally a drug that actually works in clearing HPV warts. Oh and by the way, before I started Condylox, I also had them frozen first. This really helps if you have a lot of warts like I did. | M | 24 | 3 days | 4/18/2007 | 3 | hpv | burning. intense pain. open sores. very alarming. using it for a second time, put it on for 6 days straight, all over, terrible inflamation and sores. totally freaked out. | 6 days | 4/20/2007 |
