| 5 | Hpv | Took for 3 days, two times a day (solution not gel). Flaked up and started to fall off on day6 (3rd day of rest) | M | 26 | 3 days .5 2X day | 12/4/2010 | 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 !!!! | M | 45 | 14 days .5 2X day | 2/10/2011 | 5 | Genital Warts | Burning, itching, minicule bleeding | I hate to comment on such a thing, but I guess it's best if it helps others. I had a cluster a little bigger than a dime on one side of my penis and a smaller one on the other. I was so afraid to go to the doctor when I first saw small bumps there that I tried to ignore it for around a year and a half. I abstained from sex which was hell, but I didn't want anyone to have to go through it. When I finally broke down and told a doctor he sent me to a urologist where I was burned repeatedly once every six weeks three times with severely strong wart remover before I asked due to the pain if there was anything else. He prescribed condylox and I used it as prescribed. It did burn and there was white flaking, but I was applying it myself so no more embarrassment of laying on a doctors bed while he painted my privates with acid. When I finally went back for the last time he checked with the solution that makes them visible and they were all gone, finally. About a week and a half later I noticed a small growth which I quickly applied the gel to as instructed, and it went away as well. It has been two years since that happened and I have not seen any warts reappear at all. I still have a small amount of the gel left as well in case something does happen. I still don't know if I'll ever be comfortable telling a woman that I have genital warts so I have to always use a condom, but for peace of mind they are gone. I do reccomend trying this because it beats the alternative. | M | 27 | 4 weeks 0.5% 2X day | 3/26/2011 | 5 | Anal Warts | So much pain, it hurts to wipe when I use the restroom. So much discomfort and leaves a horrible odor. But warts are completely gone in one setting. | M | 18 | 1 weeks .5% 2X day | 4/25/2012 | 5 | bumps in genital region. | Gw is super common, rarely has any serious ill effects,and is mostly embarrassing, so cheer up! We can make it through this. I have like 10 bumps. The doctor froze 4 (worked wonderfully, they fell off in 3 days with no pain) So, i have just completed the first 3 days of using. day 1: no feeling, didn't know if i put enough on day 2: mild burning after applying, day 3: area around bumps is red and they are tender day 4: no condylox today. Holy shit this stuff makes you sore. I know that i put a little too much on last night. It is very difficult to get that hard gel applied to a tiny bump. It is definitely working. Skin is red, but bumps are white and soft like they were left in the bathtub too long. It does seem to be working | This stuff works very well, just be ULTRA CAREFUL to only apply to the wart or bump. Make sure you let it dry for a while before putting clothing on or doing anything that could spread this stuff around. | M | 27 | 3 days 2X day | 7/23/2012 | 5 | Genital Warts | When I first went to the doctor, I was scared. I wanted these warts gone. I was prescribed Condylox per his request. I doused my penis in the gel and to my horror, it burned while at work and burned for quite a while, removing the majority of my genital warts but also the majority of my skin on my penis-head where the genital warts were. I could not handle this. So I stopped taking condylox, this was a year ago almost precisely to the date. I then tried every other remedy I read about online, although I was still smoking cigarettes. I stopped trying about 3 months later. Last week, I went to the doctor again to try condylox, since the warts had persisted. At this time, I had quit cigarettes for about 2 weeks. I knew how to use the gel now and the results are amazing. Less is more, guys! I have about 50+ warts, flat and raised, and they are dissapearing fast. The gel is basically an acid that eats away the warts and your skin. Be very, very careful and as I said, less is more. I still h | My best advice is to have a healthy diet, raise your immune system, quit cigarettes and alcohol and DO NOT PANIC. Use a nail file in order to allow the gel to enter the warts. I used a finger nail clipper to remove some of the larger ones and that was a relief. Clipper and file are a very effective tool, do not forget! | M | 22 | 7 days 2 bottles 2X day | 4/4/2013 | 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 | 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 | 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 | genital warts | The solution burns slightly when applied. | I had my doctor freeze my warts off (embarrassing but just man up and get them treated) and I then used Condylox for 4 weeks after they had fallen off. Never have had any more for over ten years now. | M | 34 | 30 days | 10/4/2008 | 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 | 5 | Anal Warts | Side effects included burning, bleeding and discomfort. | Used Aldara before with no avail. I had 6 anal warts and after the first treatment of Condylox. All of them were gone. I highly recommend this product. Be careful when applying. Apply only to warts. As soon as your 3 days are up immediately apply petroleum jelly and polysporin to areas. The wart area will be burned. This will help ease the pain and will heal area quicker. | M | 36 | 1 weeks | 5/3/2007 | 5 | Anal Warts | After applying Condylox, the first cycle, I was experienced burning, sharp pain and some discharge. I had about 20 small warts and a few larger ones. I was unable to target the small ones due to difficulty reaching the anal area. I applied the soultion on normal skin over the three day period, which is where I experienced rawness and pain. I am currently on the second phase, clearing up the ones which did not fully disappear. I find that there is swelling which I may have confused as warts prior to the second stage. I waited five and a half days to begin the second stage and swelling cleared. Very effective. | Condylox worked great for me. It cleared about 95% of my warts after the first stage. I am working on my second stage and it looks better everyday. Remember to be patient and use care when applying the product. I believe that the pain associated with this treatment is due to its application on normal skin, as it seems to deteriorate it. The discomfort I felt was worth it. You can also use neosporin after the 3 day application period to ease recovery. | M | 20 | 10 days | 5/19/2007 | 5 | GW / Anal / Peninal | Raw skin - burning, itching, PAIN | I had about 25-30 gw in the anal area - very hard to apply there and NOT get on reqular skin - I screwed up and got it on regular skin - It burns all the regular skin away - I did get rid of ALL GW in the anal area in one treatment - Now I am just waiting for all the raw skin to HEAL - very painful!!!!! | M | 23 | 3 days | 2/4/2008 | 5 | genital warts | intense pain!!!!!! I checked myself into the ER because it was eating through my skin getting infected. Ulcers/swelling were everywhere, I remember feeling like someone sanded all my skin down and initated rubbing hot pepper into the wounds. I could barely walk w/out toughing the raw skin. | seriously please don't get this medication on anything that is not wart tissue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't experiment!!!!! it literally ate through the connection where the head connects to the shaft. I was able to pull the head off almost and see the smooth muscle that is underneath, not fun at all had. presently I am all scarred up. But I rather have a slight color problem than warts everywhere! I had about 10 tiny warts, after 1 treatment all were gone but 2. Waited 2 weeks for the rawness to heal and the second treatment cleared up the the last 2....now it is very smooth (not a lump or bump in sight just scar tissue) | M | 23 | 3 weeks | 3/13/2008 | 5 | Genital Warts | Pain where applied and bleeding after 3rd day of application | Excellent medication! The pain just told me that it was killing the warts...good riddance. The skin looked really bad as it was healing like it would scar but it actually healed smoothly. I did 2 cycles. I have to wait a couple extra days to do a third cycle then I should be fine. It is a great product. | M | 30 | 14 days | 4/12/2008 | 5 | Genital Warts | Burning, Peeling, Ulceration, Slight Bleeding | I was recently diagnosed with HPV/GW- I have on the base of penis and top of shaft. i was immediately given Condy and burned the 2 at the base. I will say the i have done 2 separate treatment weeks. the first upon initial diagnosis, and the second about a month later upon return. The sooner you use the gel on emerging bumps, the quicker it works and the less side effects you have. Also, it seems to limit the spread when applied early. I seem to be fortunate that this has been my only treatment option as it works. Also, i find that using neosporin (pain relief) works well, but also for the bumps on the shaft. . .using "nuskin". it is antibacterial and it forms a layer of skin over the wound durring the day. .yeah it stings but it works | M | 31 | 2 months | 5/22/2008 | 5 | Warts | Burning, slight aftertaste of Juniper or Pine tree sap 30-minutes after application which is probably from the medication getting into the bloodstream and being picked up by the taste buds and olfactory sensors | I've had genital warts for about a year and tried many different medications - over-the-counter, Aldara, etc. Don't waste your money on over-the-counter or Aldara. The doctors bounced me around from doctor to doctor, and one even did a biopsy to check for cancer. It was obvious the outbreak was genital warts, but in my opinion, the doctors saw an opportunity to remove money from my wallet and my insurance company. Do not use Aldara - VERY expensive, and very ineffective. The last doctor finally reluctantly prescribed Condylox. He warmed me it would be painful. It can be painful, but it is not bad. You must be careful to not get the medication on uninfected skin - it will burn the skin. The treatment seems to kill skin cells, both infected, and non-infected if it contacts them. Follow the instructions - two treatments a day for three days, followed by four days of non-treatment. Wash and keep the area very clean. For me, by the third day of treatment the warts had turned to | M | 34 | 2 weeks | 6/14/2008 | 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 | 8/28/2009 | 5 | Anal Wart | Intense burning and itching after Day 3, on first day off treatment. Exacerbated by movement. Lasted for four days, on the fifth day off the treatment normal activities could be resumed. It would wake me up during the night, that's how intense it was. | Give yourself time to do nothing but sit on the first day of rest, time it so it falls on a free weekend. Neosporin cream with pain relief with be your best friend, apply with a q-tip. For me sitting helped, even in sleep. I took to sleeping in a chair for a few nights. Extremely effective, just be aware of the side effects. Using petroleum jelly in unaffected areas to keep from getting it on your skin is highly advised. | M | 21 | 3 days | 11/8/2009 |
