| 5 | Genital warts | Burns like hell and gets worse every application. HORRIBLE odor like you couldn't imagine, itches | Wear maxi pads and change them often. When you feel itchy or wet kinda like you're sweating be sure to make it to a restroom, change, and pat dry. It's awful but it works!! Mine were pretty far spread and I have one cluster right in my anus that's taking the longest | F | 25 | 5 days | 3/1/2016 | 5 | wart | a week later still having irritation,but wart disappeared within the 3 days. | F | 74 | 3 days | 8/4/2016 | 5 | Treatment of GW | So I'm now on my second round. Your supposed to do 3 days on (2 treatments a day) and 4 days of. Repeat up to 4 times. So 2 treatments a day would be 6 doses. Well after the 2nd dose it started getting more and more unbearable, so I only got through 5 doses. It was excruciating. The pain, itching, stinging. I had to use frozen bags of edamame to ice down there. I thought I would never do it again. But once I saw the results that was another story. It worked amazingly, and I had a lot of both vaginal and anal warts. So there were like two spots that looked gone but questionable, so I decided since it was such a small surface area, I could bear one more treatment. On day two of that. | Use a hand mirror. Don't use too much. Make sure you let it dry!! Oh and I found it helpful to tuck folded toilet paper between my labia and butt where I was treating. It'll start to kinda leak fluid/ puss and it'll itch like crazy if the area is rubbing other skin. Call off of work. The pain is worth the results if you can bear it. | F | 29 | 3 days .5% | 11/2/2015 | 5 | GW | Condylox is an acid so apply carefully on the warts alone. Avoid healthy skin contact. Don't over treat yourself. From experience, on my day 3 of application I decided to apply on the spots again even tho the warts had fallen off just to be sure it was all gone. BIGGEST MISTAKE !!! It burnt the different parts of my skin like my skin was raw, never seen my skin that raw before. The pain was excruciating and using the toilet was unbearableness. Couldn't walk around or sit in one place without people asking questions.I was happy to have gotten rid of the warts but this was more painful than the warts itself. | For treatment of my raw skin, My Doc adviced I apply sudocrem as often as I could and also before that sit in salt lukewarm water for about 15mins to help circulation of blood to those parts for quick healing (this helped soothe the pain and discomfort for a while). This treatment worked wonders for me as my skin is healed completely and my life is back to normal.. I did this for about 5days and I'm better. I really hope the warts don't show up anytime soon again. Already got myself multivitamins to help with my immune system and eating well to prevent any reoccurrence. Stay safe | F | 26 | 3 days 2X day | 11/23/2016 | 5 | HPV | Applied and within 3 day they were gone... i been suffering for 2 years with GW and my dr. decided to just prescribe this to me... im still pissed at him.. i used Aldara and was a horror show.. if you are ever prescribed aldara DO NOT TAKE IT.. Condylox definately worked for me... | Its gel and not cream.. gel is much better to apply then the cream like aldara cause cream seem to go all over the place when you move.. the gel will dry up and stay in the spot you treat | F | 32 | 4 days | 6/24/2007 | 5 | Genital warts | Some slight discomfort the first couple times I used it, because I kept getting it on normal skin, but once I got the hang of it there was only a slight tingling, not uncomfortable at all. USE IT AS RECOMMENDED by your physician and with the gel itself! I used it EXACTLY as recommended by my doc and on the box: 4 days on, 3 days off before starting again. Minimal side effects and discomfort when you use it correctly! | I had 6 very small warts, one slightly larger. After the first day, they were already looking diminished. By the 4th day I almost couldn't see where to put it! Only two have come back, the larger one, and one that was next to it, and they are still much smaller than before the first treatment. It is just amazing to feel smooth skin where there were ugly bumps before. Definitely a success story with Condylox. | F | 23 | 4 days | 5/31/2007 | 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 | 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 | 5 | HPV/ genital warts | Area beneath warts was sore after completion of dosage. Lasted little more than 24 hours and was manageable. I had small open sores where the warts fell off but they were not painful and healed within the day. | I used this exactly as prescribed(2 times a day for 3 days). In the first week all that was treated was removed. More budded out the next week and were gone only after 1 day of treatment. It is hard to apply because of the region and takes time to dry. Just be patient, because it works!! I did not experience severe burning. I assume this is because it never touched my healthy skin. I also gave it plenty of time to dry. So far no more have appeared. I expect more to come up and will treat them with condylox until they stop appearing. Keep your spirits up. This WILL go away and this does NOT define who you are! | F | 22 | 2 weeks | 11/3/2007 | 5 | HPV | INTENSE burning (especially after the 2nd usage), redness, soreness. It hurts the most if you get it on unaffected skin. Putting vaseline around he area BEFORE applying and being careful not to get any on the wart/warts prevents unnecessary pain in unaffected areas. After applying, the pain gradually decreased throughout the day. | I used this product about 7 months ago. I had 3 warts and this stuff got rid of all of them. I am very impressed with this product. It essentially gradually burned off my warts. I had wart recurrences when I tried to get warts to go away on their own, but since using this not ONE has resurfaced. Unfortunately though my partner who was once HPV free does now have warts. Just because warts aren't present the virus that causes them can still be transmitted. | F | 22 | 3 days | 2/12/2008 | 5 | genital warts | BURNING, inflammation, irritation, sores | miracle worker. you really have to be patient and withstand the pain. after my first 3 days it became very painful to walk because of the open sores, but it's worth it. put some neosporin(with pain relief) on them and it makes the pain a lot more tolerable. i'm on my 3rd day of the "Rest" period and it still hurts pretty bad but most of my warts are already gone. i really hope they're gone before i have to start another treatment because i know it will hurt worse, but come on...its better than having nasty bumps on your vagina. | F | 19 | 3 days | 4/29/2008 | 5 | Genital Warts | Burning, SORE!!, swelling, redness. | Condylox worked great on me! I had MANY lesion and tried a variety of things such as TCA, salicylic (sp?) acid, teatree oil, etc. This cleared almost all of the warts (apprx 15-25 present) after the first week. I am on the second week and only have 4 warts left...its amazing and i am so happy/relieved!!!!! During the three day treatment, it was about day 3 that I started feeling sore, some swelling and pain. During the off days, the warts were discolored (white) and peeled off. I soaked myself in a warm bath for 20 minutes to help shed the dead skin off and then washed the area with mild soap and warm water. If you put too much and get it on good skin, the gel will kill healthy skin so apply carefully and NOT all over! applying the gel to skin other than the wart will result in increased pain. The pain wasnt THAT unbearable and at this point, I was so desperate to get rid of the warts that I was willing to deal with the side effects...Give it a shot, its worth it! | F | 22 | 2 weeks | 12/10/2008 | 5 | HPV | Burning, Open Sores, Bleeding, Itching, Burning | Finally Something that works!! I have had HPV for about 4yrs now and it wont go away. I had a ton of warts, so my doc decided to try cryo..that shit hurts, then aldara..not worth it, and finally condylox...love it! The first treatment week got rid of most of them, but I had so many that I missed a few..but they should be gone by the second treatment. I will say that I'm glad I read this before starting the drug because neosporin cream has saved me big time! Condylox just basically eats them off..kind of like an acid. You get open sores for a while, but then they heal up nicely...NO SCARING! If you can tolerate pain for a while, this will work for you. I think its completely worth it!! | F | 24 | 3 days | 5/4/2008 | 5 | HPV | Itchy, burning, open sores | I completed the 3 day regimen than on the 5th day began applying neosporin to the sores- highly recommend doing so. Neosporin helped a great deal. I thought I would have scarring because the areas were so inflammed and painful but it completely healed. | F | 25 | 3 days | 5/28/2008 | 5 | gw | stinging, burning, omg!!!!! | i just recently noticed the bumps around my rectum so i check it out on the web, the first thing i do is freak out!!! the second is call my doctor. and he confirmed it, girl, you got genital warts. So he gives me this 261 dollar prescription and tells me" make sure u only apply on the warts, be very careful" Well, i guess i missed (they were so small and few) that i couldnt help but to apply the gel to my skin. didnt wait for it to dry (i wish he would have told me) and now im in AGONY!!!!! someone help me please!! i hear neosporin works well, but is it quick? im taking up 15 units right now in college and i cannot afford to miss any days!!! I can hardly walk, stand up, sit down, or move from side to side, i need something fast!!!!! Any suggestions? | F | 3 days | 8/27/2008 | 5 | gw | No sides affects the first day second day a little burning it felt how it would if u put alcohol on a cut not to bad kind of itches I was only doing it once but I'm going to start twice in the am and pm | F | 21 | 2 days 0.5 | 1/18/2013 | 5 | Genital Warts (gw) | For the people that said burning burning burning... that is 100% correct. The first application burned, but not as bad as later applications. The second application burned as well. I think it's better to bathe or shower first, dry first, and then apply the gel. Allow the gel to fully dry! Do not close your legs or walk! The best is to sit with your back on the wall, lay on the floor, or lay on the bed and apply with mirror. I fanned it with a paper, but some people use the cool setting on a hair dryer. If you are active with sports, jobs, etc. You should do what I did and start on Thursday of Friday, & do your 3 days wen you can relax. The second day of treatment for me was yesterday, the pain was unbearable, walking, shitting (moves those muscles where the warts were). Also, pee contains uric acid, it burns the treated area very badly, enough to make you shout! It was so painful, I decided to take a hot bath, and soak, I lightly scrubbed the area, and ran warm/hot water on it. | I had felt a tiny little bumpy cluster at the bottom of my vaginal opening, like right at the bottom. I have vaginal tears there after sex, so I just thought the skin healed weird, but I am a biology student, so I knew it could also be gw. I went to the doctor, she looked and immediately said it was gw. I cried, I was devistated. She asked me if I wanted to treat and I said yes, so she prescribed the gel. You are supposed to do twice a day, once at morning, and once at night. You can also use it while on your period. I took a shower, and took my first dose at night. It took 3 seconds, and then all of a sudden hurt immediately! Like imagine when you take a shot of tequila, and the shock sensation afterward!! You want to use a good light (desk lamp maybe) and a small mirror, magnifying is even better. I didn't use the precision tip, I put the gel on qtips, and applied with those. Women, feel free to email me about my experience. | F | 22 | 3 days 3 days Gel 2X day | 4/29/2013 | 5 | Gw/aw | I have my life back!!! I got gw/aw from having unprotected sex. First mistake. I noticed a rather large growth right below my rectum a couple weeks later. It kept growing and I noticed small clusters of bumps under the folds of my vaginal lips. I was freaking out! I went to the doctor and as soon as she saw them she knew it was gw/aw. Right away she prescribed condylox. I read the application instructions but and applied it just to my warts but didn't let it dry. HUGE MISTAKE. It burned like no other and after a day my skin became white and tender to the touch. I only applied it 2xs a day for 3 days and after the 3rd day the warts under my vaginal lips were where white. I used a warm wash cloth and gently wiped them down an the warts fell off!!!! By the seconds days rest I started to notice the warts around my anus slowly go away and the large "growth" cluster of warts was virtually gone! I'm on my last rest day and ALL MY WARTS ARE GONE!! No scars marks or any proof they were even there. I have been so depressed because of this and felt my sexual life was over but condylox changed that. Just remember ONLY PUT IT ON THE WART AND LET IT COMPLETELY DRY!!!! I pray they don't come back so I bought centrum immunity vitamins and am eating much healthier. Hopefully I will never see those nasty things again!! Moral of the story.... PRACTICE SAFE SEX!! | F | 24 | 1 weeks | 10/3/2013 | 5 | one genital wart | open area after 3 day useage, but wart was gone | F | 32 | 3 days | 11/7/2006 | 5 | Genital warts | Mild discomfort, little bit of odor | Omg, when the doctors first told me the warts were not going to be burned off I started panicking. So he gave me condylox in a little bottle and all I could think of was... Acid down there. Awesome. But after week one of treatment and rest I've never been happier. The warts aren't all gone, but all of them have begun to dry up and will be gone by the end of week 2. There's only slight pain where the warts used to be because they leave some pretty nasty wounds when they fall, but neosporin is definitely helping. Like so many people have said READ the box. If you apply the cream only to the warts and are really careful not to touch healthy skin, you don't even feel the acid doing it's thing. My warts were external, with a massive cluster between my anus and vagina. Safe to say those were the first to clear. Definitely a recomended product, again just be careful. It's your body you are dealing with at the end of the day. | F | 21 | 4 days 3.5ml 2X day | 7/22/2010 |
