| 4 | HPV | pain, slight itching. if you overuse or spread too much.. you'll want to die. | Misdiagnosed for hemorrhoids, got a prescription cream which of course turned a few problem areas that i couldn't really see into a ridiculous mess. I had a lot, and used it for 3 days, spreading WAY generously.. yeah, mistake. it works, but you HAVE to be precise. i couldn't walk or stand or function at all, worst pain ever, but it worked. its been a few months since i used the stuff and i have significant scar tissue. just be careful and make sure to get it only where you need it. Also, i hear carrots are natural aids to clearing it up and smoking affects how fast you heal (or if you don't heal) | M | 21 | 3 times | 7/16/2008 | 4 | genital venereal warts | PAIN - SWELLING | I misused the drug due to the fact that i didnt read the directions or research the net about it. I wish i would have found this page before i used it or read the directions that were given to me when i picked up the prescription. Being a dumb ass man, i just put it all over my penis and on the warts. My penis swelled twice its size it seems and was very painful. I knew i was suppose to use it for three days then rest. I did so, but was missusing the gel everywhere on my penis head and shaft. Finally instinct told me to stop using it and rest. Im on day 3 of rest and my penis is back to normal and the warts are deadening and old skin is coming off. Now reading this I will start up tommorrow AFTER my showers and apply ONLY on the warts themselves with a cotton swab applicator a small dot on the warts. I only have three and expect they will disappear soon. They are already dead it seams, but when I shower they turn white and are noticeable. I will apply only for three more day | M | 39 | 3 days | 3/3/2009 | 4 | Wart | Slight burning a few hours after the first day, which made me think the stuff was working. Also the skin around the area because extreemly rough and dry. | 3rd day of the rest period. First treatment went well i think. There is a rough sore over the area there was a wart, not sure if the wart is still under there tho, hopefully when the skin clears up its gone. | M | 22 | 3 times | 6/19/2008 | 4 | HPV/AGW | burning swelling smell bleeding itching | I am on my 3rd week of using condylox the first week worked great, I had a bunch of warts around my anal region and all but 2 have gone. I think im doing something wrong though. The doctor told me I could use vaseline to prtect the healthy skin so I used A&D onitment. I have been having a hard time getting rid of the other 2 I wonder if it has anything to do with using the a&d ointment. my recommendation would be to use neosporin or a&d after the 3 day cycle. | M | 23 | 3 weeks | 6/20/2008 | 4 | Genital Warts | Burning, Itching, Soreness | I have had a few warts for about a year or so and finally decided to get treatment. My doctor gave me Condylox. I am currently in my first week of treatment. I am on the 2nd day of rest. I believe one of the very small ones came off today with a little sore underneath, nothing big. I have about 3 or 4 big ones that have since turned a blackish color, which makes me think that they will soon fall off, but they are very sore. I got some on regular skin and I'll tell you what, do NOT let that happen! It has burned the normal skin and is all red and has a white pussy look. That is the most painful part. I would say on a scale of 1-10 with pain, most of the time it is about a 3 but there are times, especially with the area of good skin that came in contact with it that it is about a 6. I am hoping that my next treatment week will get rid of the bigger ones for good. It looks really gross and I can't wait to be done with this. | M | 26 | 5 days | 5/22/2008 | 4 | HPV / G. Warts | Day 1. I have 13 warts on base of my shaft and 1 about a little over an inch above my shaft. I applied it about an hour ago. Not feeling any burning or tingling on the wart itself. The only pain I have experienced is some of the condylox gel rubbed on my inner thigh and had a slight burn until I washed it with soap and water. Hopefully I put enough on because I can not feel any burning onthe warts. I'll send day 2 update tomorrow | I just advise be very careful when you apply it. Don't be sloppy with the gel and rub it all over, That might hurt a little. | M | 28 | 1 days | 2/7/2009 | 3 | Genital Warts | Well the burning irritation is right on the money, I have a lil bit of blood and some swelling. | I have a good maybe 8 - 10 warts around my anus. Thats a very difficult spot to treat im on day 1.5. I made the mistake of not letting it dry the first 2 times I applied it. That might be why I feel kinda chaffed. Its raw and slightly annoying. I have a 1.5 treatments left before the rest cycle I hope I see some results. | M | 23 | 1.5 days | 6/4/2008 | 3 | anal warts | not taken yet. | So, the surgeon told me to have my anal warts removed at surgery. then i went to a GI doctor and he told me that they normally do surgery in my community because we have lots of surgeons available and this is a easy task. I asked him about condylox and he prescribed to me, Im now afraid to use it because of all of these comments below, it seems like 1 or a few days of pain from surgery is far less pain than everyone here having to go through it for possibly 4 weeks. any suggestions? | M | 27 | 0 days | 5/2/2009 | 3 | Anal Warts | I was not informed of the side effects of this drug. The burning is pretty painful. I'm not sure how it got to normal skins unless it spreads once it dries and I walk around. Very painful. Hopefully the burning will subside for the (4) day break. | M | 31 | 3 days | 9/20/2007 | 3 | a | a | a | M | 34 | 55 days | 9/14/2004 | 3 | genital warts | I just did one cycle, and found that I am in extreme pain. I know now after reading these comments that I messed up on the application, and did not just put it on the wart itself. I learned my lesson. I have tried the neosporene as an aide for the pain, but how long does it take for that pain to go away? I know everyone is different. My fear is that I have such raw skin that if I put more of the Condylox on it will cause other problems. Any help? Also, when the warts are tried should they appear black and simply wash off? | M | 29 | 3 days | 12/19/2007 | 3 | warts | I too just finished my first 3 days am now in my 4th day of treatment. I'm going through a bit of pain now (fairly painful) and some through the night last night (night 3). I did apply the gel a little bit beyond just the warts themselves (i have 6-7)... but i chose to do this. I've had these warts ONLY in the area between the ass and the testicles. Very hard to walk..ouch. | I've been treating these warts for 2 years now. I get em every few months. Went to dermatologists- froze, zapped with electricity, and even tried that crappy Aldara which did nothing but scar and discolor me (vitaligo) which i'm insanely upset at. Now i'm trying condolox- if it works, i'll be so happy. If anyone has any insight or similar contion, i'd welcome any help. I'll be posting my outcome in a few weeks. | M | 35 | 3 days | 1/16/2008 | 3 | Genital Warts | Got it a bit on the surronding skin...painful burning, redness...i literally just finished putting on the final application of day 3. Now 4 day rest. So far, havent seen any results. But im staying confident. | Had warts down on the very, very end of my shaft...where it hits the pube area. Must say, it is painful. But im hopeing it is worth it. Ill be back in 4 days with an update | M | 22 | 3 days | 11/3/2008 | 3 | genital warts | HOLY HELL! make sure you follow the directions... this shit burns like fire. minor swelling, burning, cussing, swearing, and cursing god. | i used aldara for 4 months. nothing happened. no side effects, no burning, no difference in size, shape... NOTHING. I just finished my 3rd treatment day of Condylox (today being the 1st day without) and sweet jesus does it hurt. my warts are rather small, and clumped close together so it was hard not to get some on the surrounding skin. today i am red, raw and sore. walking hurts because my underwear are rubbing against my penis. i had to put on looser pants when i got home from work. they appear to be drying out and do look smaller, so hopefully, once the puffyness subsides i'll see some difference. i'm in it for the long haul tho, so week 2, 3, 4? bring it on. i want these f-ers gone! | M | 26 | 3 days | 2/14/2008 | 3 | anal warts | burning, burning, burning, bleeding, skin turned white | I noticed I had two small bumps around my anus. I am a male. I went to the doctor and had the awkward conversation which resulted with me lying on my side wearing a hospital gown. She... yes she... told me it was most likely anal warts from HPV. I already assumed that so no real surprise there. She prescribed me Condylox Gel 0.5. I was ecstatic because my warts would be gone in up to 3 days. I finally was able to relax until day 3 of applying the cream. My warts were gone. Cool! But now my anus was dusted white and chapped and bleeding. The pain was pretty unbearable so I was glad to be starting the rest phase, assuming the pain could only subside from that point on. PLUS MY WARTS WERE GONE! Day one rest was OK but definitely not better. Then rest day 2 came and it seemed worse. The white started to fade and the warts were most definitely gone... still blood still pain. Day 3 of rest (today) and I was SUUURE the pain would be less. Nope. The front most anal fold (the one closet to my balls) is so inflamed and red and irritated it is hard to sit down and I wince sometimes just moving around--not to mention going to the bathroom. The thought of wiping makes me want to cry, I just dab and dab and use wet toilet paper and pray I don't brush it wrong. Oh, and I've been so afraid of fecal bacteria-- I've been applying copious amounts of Bacetracin to keep it clean. I hope tomorrow is better. I hope the pain and swelling go away soon. Honestly, the two measly warts were better, the | M | 23 | 3 days 2X day | 4/5/2010 | 3 | GW | It itches especially when i wake up, or throughout the night (if i happen to wake up), MILDLY sore to the touch (when applying gel via q-tip) after 3 days, ive done 5 applications so far, a little resemblance of chaffing where my leg meets body but nothing severe at all | Smallest ones appear to be shriveling and im very positive about their demise....a few of the larger ones are definitely shrinking but they may require subsequent treatment, im not looking forward to the loss of skin like some ppl are saying but im confident ive applied the gel with a fair amount of precision, will keep posted, hopefully i dont have to buy another EXPENSIVE tube... | M | 21 | 3 days 2X day | 3/4/2010 | 3 | HPV Anal Warts | 3 on, 4off, 3 on was the schedule for a max of 4 weeks. Have warts and hemorrhoids. I had my husband put the medicine on ONLY the warts very carefully. I missed 2 doses so I extended treatment to 4th day. On my first day of being off (5th day) I'm experiencing the worst pain. Some of the condylox got on good skin when my cheeks pressed together and ate surface away! Ouch! Haven't been able to have BM's very easily due to pain. Can't wait to see Dr in 2 days for check-up! Its VERY painful and hard to clean. The majority of the warts are gone, but Im not sure its worth the pain. By the way, is this the least painful at-home treatment?! | M | 22 | 4 days .5% | 2/4/2012 | 3 | GW | a little redness, didnt feel any burning that everyone else seems to have felt | i went through 2 of these bottles and the warts pretty much went away however i had more and more reappear after i stopped apply...i would start my cycles again and they would disappear, again i stopped and more would appear, guess it didnt work for me | M | 24 | 3 months .5 2X day | 5/9/2011 | 3 | gw | Im not experiencing anything after my first dose.. Im wondering if I put enough on there but with what everyone is saying Im skeptical about over using it | M | 1 days | 10/3/2008 | 3 | Genital warts on anus | Tried a Few things, DR suggested condylox. I had a few warts and two dime sized clusters on inner part of anus cheeks. I used gel 2x per day for three days. Tried to keep it off normal skin but difficult w location. I LITERALLY burned the first two layers of skin off a large area and have been couch/bed ridden for three days waiting to heal. Can't walk, sit, drive, etc. if this happens to u don't panic. Get A and D ointment and Bactine cleansing spray w lidocaine (no sting kind). Take warm soapy bath three times a day to keep clean, use Bactine 3x per day and A and D as often as u want. Bear down and pray. I have had some pretty serious surgeries in the past ( over 85 stitches in my back). That was a cake walk compared to this. Looked like a horror movie down there. Blood splitting cracking etc. after 3rd day of rest I am able to move. All treatment I recommend did come from my DR not my ideas so they are safe. But, warts are gone! USE sparingly and as carefully as possible. | M | 30 | 3 days Gel 2X day | 1/10/2013 |
