| 4 | genital warts | slight burning, skin irritation, tiny open sores | Like everyone says: make sure you apply only to the warts and not to the healthy skin. I accidentally bumped my healthy skin with the Q-tip around my anus and the next day I noticed it ate away at my skin and left a red open sore. I also assumed the more cream I applied to a wart the better the condylox would work, but all it did was cause the excess cream to spread onto my skin and cause irritation. You really only need a small amount. I had many warts surrounding my anus, some of them were very large so I was skeptical that this would work for me. I just finished my third day yesterday and they are already gone! I was so excited because it's frustrating and embarrassing to have genital warts. Now I'm experiencing some slight burning (nothing unbearable just a bit uncomfortable) and there are some open sores where the warts once were which I expect will turn to scabs during this 4 day period of rest. I've been using Vaseline (as my doctor instructed) to help with the soreness and it really provides some comfort. I would definitely recommend conylox; it's used in the privacy of your own home, they experience is less painful then having them treated at the doctor, and most important it works! I finally feel like there is hope for this embarrassing STD! | F | 29 | 3 days 2X day | 3/27/2011 | 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 | 1 | genital warts | Really horrible stuff, worked great for first two days most warts were gone however come third day my foreskin on the inside was so swollen i couldnt pull it back i finally did with the most excrutiating pain ive ever felt and the sight was horrible it looked like a flesh eating bacteria had gotten ahold of my penis there was severe puss, lesions, skin falling off, discoloration, and blood pouring out like it was a freaking horror film and i mean worst pain ever. its the fourth day and only getting worse if i cant get an immediate doctor appt then im going to have to go to the emergency this stuff is seriously an acid of some sort | DONT DO IT!!! | M | 21 | 3 days .5 2X day | 3/12/2011 | 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 | 4 | 0.5 gel | Removed the warts on 3rd day, but it pains and hurts a lot on 3rd day onward, apply neosprin on the wounds hopefull it will heal soon | M | 33 | 3 days 2X day | 2/10/2011 | 5 | gential warts | Itching, Burning | Once i put it on i had doubts because i didnt feel anything. The first day i didnt feel anything but the warts turned white. Second day they started to fall off one by one. Third day was the worst day because the medicine was getting the end of the wart.I am now on my resting period and i feel so much better all i have now is itching. I had alot of warts all over my vagina so the medicine spread even on healthy skin. Make sure u try to not get it on healthy skin thats the part that makes this experince the worst.But now i really just feel itching so i highly recomend this medicine its so worth it in the end. I was starting to give up on curing these warts till this medicine nuthing else seemed to help. This medicine helps i now only have 1 left and i feel like a whole new person. | F | 21 | 3 days 2X day | 1/11/2011 | 4 | genital warts | burning, sores, no bleeding...yet, scabs, pain | seems to work very, very, well. it ate up the warts on day 3...problem is now i have these large scabs. i used a q tip to apply, but im guessing i might have got some on healthy skin cause it ate up my skin too. i would recommend it to anybody having warts. it was hard to follow directions because the majority of the infected are was around my pubic hair above the penis. didnt want to shave either for fear of cutting a wart although i imagine it would have made a hell of a difference in applying only to warts only. i am debating using neo or some other over the counter cream to help the scabs heal faster but i dont want to irritate it. will it help? thanks and dont fear people with warts! they will go away with this drug. JUST BE CAREFUL when applying and follow the advice of others here and keep your head up. the worst part of this is the absence of sex lol! | M | 25 | 3 days drop 2X day | 12/13/2010 | 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 | 4 | few small genital warts | Burning, redness, slight bleeding, pain. | My doctor told me on monday "yeah there looks like there are a few small warts there" and thats it. nothing else. I started Condylox on monday first two applications were fine. I couldnt really see my warts, just put it in the area i felt a few lumps. Big mistake - listen when they say only to the affected area. I couldnt tell how much i needed or where to put it so i put it on the small area i had the lumps. Day two and Day three there was pain when applying. just deep breaths and you will get through. The night after i had put on my last application was the worst, kept waking up. It was my first rest day today and it is sore, skins white and bleeding, but it looks like its eaten through all the skin, so at least the affected area has been eaten away. Im dying for it to heal though, and using paraderm an first aid cream to help the healing process. Fingers crossed its a quick heal. Good luck all. | F | 22 | 3 days 2X day | 12/2/2010 | 4 | genital warts | Be careful about not getting it on normal skin. The first week i put on the infected area and did not notice any results. On my 4 days off the warts shinked and scaped up and came off in the shower. the problem is that i have burning on the normal skin around my penis. | dont use near normal skin | M | 27 | 14 days 2X day | 8/28/2010 | 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 | 4 | Genital warts:( | GENITAL WARTS | OMG i am so upset that i caught genital warts. i was usually careful to have protected sex. but just when i don't use a rubber i catch this. i'm only 18!!!!!! I noticed little bumps down there, they were tiny kinda like a rash. i thought it was my eczema so i didn't pay it no mind. but then it started irritating me down there. so i went to the teen clinic because i don't have a family doctor yet. and she tells me i have genital warts. my spirit crashed. I wanted to break down. I have just finished puthing it on for 3 days. today is the fourth day(break day). I don't get any sleep at all. last night i didn't get to sleep until 4:30 but i had to get up for school at 5:30. It is very irritating to have this STD. I hate the person that gave it to me. but most of all i hate myself the most. I pray everyday to god that he will cure my body. I'm a strong person, but right now i've been going through alot of stuff, and for this STD to pop up its too much. I promise if these warts go away i will try my hardest not to have sex until marriage. I just want these warts to go away. they irritate me, its hard to walk sometimes because its painful sometime. i can't sleep at all. i'm so sad and wants to cry sooooo bad. but i don't want to let myself down and cry. I just really hope this medicine works and will cure me. please work. plllllllease work. | F | 18 | 3 weeks .5 2X day | 5/17/2010 | 3 | Hpv | Burning, itching, rotting flesh smell | I was diagnosed with HPV a few months ago, found out when I noticed some fleshy like mounds poping up in places they shouldnt be. Went to one doctor tried Aldara, that was horrible and unbearable that medicine affected EVERYTHING!!! Condylox on the other hand, does burn the effected area but doesnt get everywhere if you apply it with caution. By the end of day two, I noticed a difference in my warts. They were turning white and comming off, which was scary at first like a zombie film. But over all I see results in this product, as long as you dont smoke. That was my mistake in the healing process, I still had some bad habits, that was slowing down the healing process. | F | 24 | 3 days 2X day | 5/11/2010 | 4 | hpv, warts | hardcore burning, odor, rotting flesh, redness, soreness, can't walk | I have just made it through my first cycle and didn't feel any kind of itching or burning until my first day of rest. I had been advised by my doctor to ONLY apply it to the warts. Well i wanted them gone quickly so i applied it everywhere. Dumb ass mistake for any of you reading this before application. All you need is a little dot of it on the wart itself, otherwise it will eat through healthy skin and burn like a mother. BE CAREFUL. I am now on my second run through and it still burns but after experiencing this am definately taking it with a grain of salt. | M | 20 | 3 days 2X day | 4/29/2010 | 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 | 2 | Genital Wart | Burning, discoloration, and burning flesh smell. | Due to the region of my warts, having them surgically removed is not an option. Therefore, the only means of their removal is through Condylox, which I absolutely HATE! I've had to use it so much, that I learned all of the tricks. You have to be really careful that you apply it only to the warts; if you get it on normal skin, it will literally erode your skin. Also, you really have to let the gel dry on the warts, for about 5 minutes, before you move around or put underwear on. If you don't, the gel will transfer onto healthy skin, and cause serious pain. Also, put Vaseline on the area after it has completely dried to avoid irritation. Using Condylox is painful, even if you apply it carefully to the affected area; stay away from thongs! Personally, I feel the worst side affect is the smell from the dying flesh, so gross! | F | 25 | 8 weeks 30 2X day | 3/31/2010 | 4 | HPV totally embarrassing anal warts | Minor blistering. | Here we go. You are on this site because you have Genital Warts!? Oh no. Back up how did you get them? Most of us think we are invincible to stds. I know I did. And worse, I got it from my BF. In July of last year (8 months ago) I noticed little bumps down there. Ignored them. Never ONCE considered them to be an STD. Over time they got slightly itchy,would bleed every now and then. In early January I sucked it up, put my dignity aside and went to the Dr. Left crying, cried for days and started to resent my BF. Which I learned did nothing. Leaving him would only lead me to coping with a break up while dealing with this! I had a few in office treatments done (TCA) effective. Although very expensive. I was prescribed Condylox in a liquid form, paid a lot for it, $100, used it for 3 days/2x a day. Not so bad. Yes I had small blistering. Yes my skin looked white and as if it could fall off but... it worked. And honestly it wasn't that painful. Left my skin dry and itchy but the warts were gone. About a week later... a few came back. Repeated the treatment, used Aquaphore (by Eucerin.. like 4 bucks) to put on the skin whenever it hurt. A week later they were gone. So for all of you who are crying, upset, scared... I was all of that. Hang in there. It could happene to ANYONE. I promise it will end. | F | 25 | not sure 3X day | 3/4/2010 Patient History | 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 | 4 | Genital warts | A little discomfort and itching during the day but nothing that was unbearable. I haven't finished my first 3 day cycle yet. | So far if I'm not crazy the bumps seem to be getting smaller. I read these reviews before applying the medication and damn I'm happy I did. Everyone talked about this horrible burning if you got the gel on your healthy skin so I have been extremellyyyy careful putting this on and so far I have no experienced this terrible pain that everyone talks about. I used aldara before and I applied it everywhere, around the bump and anywhere I thought something was coming up. It never burned my skin and was a little uncomfortable at times but it took forever to see results and the finally one day boom! They were gone and I did experience the burning when you wipe after urinating but that's jay because of the open sore.. I mean part of what used to be flesh is gone. You could only expect that. I wish someone had told me about the neosporin because I just dealt with it, it wasn't the mos horrible pain I've ever been in. Almost like getting a tattoo. Not the worst pain your gonna feel. As far as I can tell with the condylox it's working really well. The night I got my prescription I went home and used it and in the morning as well. I forgot to take my night dose so I applied this morning. And now it's evening and I just finished the application. Nobody says drying times an I'm afraid to get this gel on healthy skin becuase of the reviews so I wait 10 minutes after I apply to my last bump and I've never experienced the burning. There isndiscomfort during the day. Girls I suggest wearing boy | F | 21 | 3 days 2X day | 2/28/2010 | 4 | HPV | Burning, itching, and swelling where affected area touched normal skin. As everyone else on here has said, DO NOT GET THIS STUFF ON NORMAL SKIN. | This stuff worked wonders on the one wart that I had. Only took one round! By the 2nd day of treatment, it was mostly gone and by the third day all that was left was a little tiny patch of "scorched earth", if you know what I mean. However, on the 2nd day, I made the mistake of freaking out and putting this stuff where I thought a wart MIGHT BE coming up and HOLY CRAP did it burn the bejesus out of my skin. Only put this stuff on something that you KNOW is a wart and DO NOT put it anywhere near mucous membranes unless you want to have to stifle screams any time you have to pee. It literally eats your flesh which is why it works so well on those nasty warts. | F | 22 | 3 days 0.05% 2X day | 2/13/2010 |
