| 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 | 4 | warts | burning after the 3rd day and it got on area around wart and is still dry and swollen almost a month later | After 3rd day the 3 warts were gone. 2 have since come back and am currently treating area again. If anyone knows when the swelling of the normal skin will go away please let me know. | M | 27 | 3 days | 11/18/2007 | 1 | genital warts | red sores. pain, discomfort. itching. | i used this stuff for like 2 months and used tho whole bottle and they still didnt go away. i did everything right and no results. this gel sucks. | M | 20 | 64 days | 11/15/2007 | 4 | HPV | Slight pain/burning. The worst for me was the smell. It has been about a week or so since I stopped using Condylox and there is still a HORRID smell. Did anyone else experience this? How long did it take for the smell to go away for you | Used once, warts gone in 3 days | F | 27 | 3 days | 11/6/2007 | 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 | 4 | HPV | Intense burning after the 3 day period and some bleeding | Be very careful about getting it on your other skin as I did. It was very difficult to determine and see where I was putting it on so I think I burned the surrounding skin. I do need to say it worked after just one treatment cycle!! So the pain now that it has gone away was worth it, but during the 3 to 4 days after the initial 3 day treatment was intense. Aldara did nothing and takes forever to see any results. My dr did not tell me to use neosporin but after reading it here I am so glad I did, it really helps speed up the healing. | F | 34 | 3 days | 10/25/2007 | 4 | HPV/genital warts | severe burning and itching, open sores, bleeding. | This is now my third time using condylox i have another comment on this page from less then a year ago 1/07. this time around its not as bad just sever itching so bad i cant sleep. what i found that helps me at work is neosporin the gel or cream with the pain relief. | F | 23 | 3 weeks | 10/1/2007 | 4 | Genital Warts | It stings a little and if you get it on any normal skin it can itch a little bit | DON"T GIVE UP! i went through two treatments and didn't see any difference at ALL and i was extremely upset. I think i might have been too anxious. my third treatment week, the little bitches started to disappear! i also want to say that if it's in a skin fold, "wait for it to dry" means wait quite some time. i kept thinking it was dry and letting the skin fold go and i kept burning my normal skin with the gel. also, if you just sit there and wait for it to dry it seems to work a lot quicker. | F | 21 | 27 days | 9/26/2007 | 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 | 1 | GW | Excruciating pain!!! I just applied it on less than 5 minutes ago and F---!!!!!!!! How do you keep it off normal skin when you have to apply it on your scrotum? I don't even put much, but its got me walking like someones kicked me in the nuts due to the massacre it leaves behind. The burning effect is like nothing I have ever felt b4. This is my 3rd application and my last. I shouldn't have to fan my nuts and keep from screaming just to get a few warts off. I am so afraid of applying this gel again that I wont. I am not reliving that again. Seems like most people here are happy with this product. Good for them. | NEVER AGAIN | M | 26 | 3 days | 9/19/2007 | 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 | 6/28/2007 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 4 | Genital warts | Some mild pain -- perhaps better described as an itch rather than pain. I really have to wonder if the raters describing excruciating pain were using it properly. You apply the gel only to the warts, and should be careful to avoid getting it on normal skin. It will burn normal skin. | In the past I had warts treated with electrocautery, but that was an extremely unpleasant experience. The warts came back in a few weeks, and I wanted to try something different. This is much better than the surgery, in my opinion. I did one "treatment week," and managed to remove all but the largest of my warts. That one then grew to be even larger than it was before, so I've done another week of the stuff. I'm going to follow up with another week just to make sure that it's gone. Overall I would absolutely recommend this. | M | 27 | 2 months | 5/2/2007 | 4 | GW | redness that lasted for about 10 days, mild irritation. | Works pretty well, but gets a 4 because it takes awhile and has minor side effects... | M | 24 | 6 days | 4/25/2007 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
