| 4 | GW | About to finish my 4th rest day of my first round of treatment for anal warts. My husband applied the medicine since he could see easier than I, but I think he thought he was "helping" by being generous with the application. DO NOT OVER-TREAT! The good news is all warts but one are gone after one treatment. The bad news is my entire anus is one big chemical burn. Probably the worst pain I have ever experienced. Walking, transitioning from sitting to standing, and any attempt at using the restroom brought tears to my eyes. I'm planning to take another week off to heal before attacking the remaining bump. Use the solution sparingly, as it works like a champ, but is incredibly caustic to healthy skin. Good luck! | F | 31 | 3 days | 3/16/2014 | 5 | genital warts | Burning and bleeding. | Females listen up!! Second week on medication. You absolutely need someone to apply it to areas you can not reach, or areas that need to be held open to DRY! If you have them on your rectum...You will need monostat, clean wipes, and panty liners. Hold area open and apply ONLY to warts. Keep area open to air dry at least a full minute or you get it on skin that doesn't need it.That skin will die!A fan helps a lot! They do start to come off after the first week, usually when you wipe and it does hurt. You can get skin tears. If you do and it is on your rectal area, you must keep it clean and dry or you will get a yeast infection there. The areas weep and cause wetness. A yeast infection has a noticeable odor and the area turns white. Here is what I did. Cleaned area three times a day and applied monostat. The areas were bleeding and weeping so I used a panty liner. Peel off the back and fold it in half . Put it in between the buttocks to keep the area dry at all times. You may need to change it a few times a day till the area heals enough to stop doing it. Yes it is uncomfortable. BUT please listen to me and this will get you through it. I am on my second week. All 7 of my vaginal warts fell off the first week. 5 of my rectal warts fell off as well. You can do this!!! Remember that once they are gone you still have the virus and you can get more warts...and spread it to your partner. The quickest way to know if the virus is gone is a pap smear. Wait a month or two and get check | F | 45 | 8 days 15 2X day | 2/19/2014 | 4 | Genital warts | While using condylox I experienced an extreme amount of pain and almost wanted to stop the treatment but after a few days I've noticed the warts have begun to fall off . The treatment is more painful than having the warts themselves but it is worth it to see results . Going to begin my 2nd week of treatment and hoping i will be all clear soon. | F | 21 | 7 days 30 | 1/20/2014 | 4 | Genital Warts | Redness, soreness nothing bad | Had about 5 genital warts on penis. I used Condyline (similar to Condylox) on them for three days. They were all gone in three days. I used just a little and the first times I wondered if I had used enough. But apparently I did. Experienced some redness and soreness but nothing bad at all. Hopefully they will never come back! | M | 28 | 3 days 2X day | 1/6/2014 | 4 | Genital Warts | Have had a few small flat flesh-colored warts on my scrotum for some time. Tried other creams that didn't work in the past. New doctor prescribed Condylox. Holy shyt!! I was generous in the application hoping to get any tiny ones that I may not see. MISTAKE! My balls are on fire!! Three layers if skin have already eaten away and it's still going. Didn't catch fire until day 3. The warts fell off but so did half my sack! On the plus side, reading these other horror stories have made me crack up so hard I'm feeling better about my own pain. Good luck! | M | 39 | 3 days | 12/26/2013 | 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 | 3 | anal warts | I used my first treatment 2 months ago..the warts shrank however it was painful and I ruined my skin around it pretty bad blood and plasma flowing the entire time..I waited to try again I am back it and it seems like they are irritated and more visible..I hope to get referred for some type of removal. ..this reall sucks | 38 | 2 days | 6/29/2013 | 5 | Genital warts | Slight irritation around site of wart. For very small warts, this is very common since it is almost impossible to apply and not get any on healthy skin. | This is basically for the guys out there who have penile warts. I have used it on 4 separate occasions and each time it works like a breeze. You barely have to use any - just enough to get a thin coating on the wart. After 3 days you may notice a difference or you may not notice much of anything and think it is not working. Stick with the instructions and take the 4 days off. Each time I used it, I noticed nothing until the 4th and 5th days, when the skin/wart began flaking away and basically falling off. I've never needed to use more than one treatment week on a wart. 3 days, morning and night (and you can be pretty relaxed on the time) and you'll likely be all through with it. Don't stress if you get a tiny bit on healthy skin. It does take a bit to dry. I give it at least 15 minutes just to be sure. **Feel free to email me of you have any questions.** | M | 40 | 5 days 1 2X day | 5/14/2013 | 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 | Used a q-tip to apply a very tiny amount. Burned minimally during week one. | F | 21 | 2 weeks | 4/28/2013 | 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 | 3 | HPV anal warts | I had two patches on either side of my anus with random small ones surrounding. Was prescribed Condylox, I am on day 3 and have only noticed slight pain when first applied...I am trying not to get too discouraged. I have only noticed a slight change in the color of the warts. Hoping to see more improvement. | F | 25 | 3 days | 2/3/2013 | 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 | 4 | gw | Day 1 didn't feel a thing day 2 a little burning it kind of feels like when u put alcoholon a cut I was only doing it once a day but I started doing it twice there on my vagina I was devastated I got them frm a ex we were trying to work on things next thing I know 3,months later a wart I'm glad now I have a understanding bf he even wants to have kids knowing he could get gw don't let it take over ur life u will get through it and can do the same things anyone can | F | 21 | 2 days 2x | 1/18/2013 | 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 | 4 | HPV | Very minor soreness, no pain whatsoever. | I've been struggling with this condition for a few years now. I've had multiple visits to the dermatologist for freezing (which has had limited results), and was prescribed Aldara which did absolutely nothing for me. Condylox has so far been the most successful treatment. I'm on week 3 now and my smaller warts have shrunk in half. I have a cluster about the size of a penny on my waist line (which had previously been misdiagnosed by my doctor), and it's receding each week. I don't feel I'll be completely rid of them by the end of 4 weeks so I may have to switch back to regular cryo/freezing visits to finish them off. I've seen others' experiences stating that they were in a lot of pain but the treatment seemed to work very quickly for them. I have absolutely no pain but my progress seems to be slower. Maybe there's a correlation there. Ultimately this treatment works for me but as I've learned, the preferred treatment varies from person to person, so don't be discouraged if your mileage varies. | M | 33 | 3 weeks 2X day | 10/17/2012 | 3 | Anogenital warts | Holy hell! About to take my 5th dose (6 doses required each three-day round of treatment). This is my first experience with anal warts. I am laying in bed as I type this cringing from the burning, stinging pain around my rectum. The whole area is red and raw and wiping after a bowel movement makes me want to cry. And passing gas. Never thought THAT could hurt. Anyways, Because of the position of the warts around my anus, its difficult to see well enough to apply only to the warts, so a few times I have just taken a small amount and smeared it over the entire affected area. The only improvement I see so far is that some of the warts are getting a black spot so I hope that means they are necrotizing. I am going to look up home remedies for the relief of burned skin because the pain is constant and bothersome. | F | 31 | 2 days 0.5% | 8/18/2012 | 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 | 4 | Genital warts | Mostly burns once it is rinsed off after 4 hours. Wasn't to bad til my skin blistered. But well worth the pain! | I had done 5 treatments at the doctor and the warts were slowly going away. We decided to try condylox and I'm shocked. After the first cycle (3 days on, 4 days off) my warts that I thought were impossible to get rid of are gone. Though I had gotten a huge blister around the cluster which is now almost gone as well. I'm on cycle number 2, only see one small wart so I'm treating it. | F | 22 | 2X day | 7/7/2012 | 2 | Genital warts | Had no side effects if applied correctly | Forget Condylox. I tried it several times and my warts never fully went away and they always returned quickly. I went to a dermatologist. First he froze the warts then applied a substance similar to Condylox which I was told to wash off in 6 hours. After 3 treatments 2 weeks apart my warts were gone completely and never returned. | M | 63 | 30 days 2X day | 6/12/2012 |
