| 3 | HPV | burn, general soreness, itching. | well, I first had mollescum, now HPV. Its hard to say if this stuff works because I have so many little one's. The problem I have is seeing them cuz my pubes grow so fast and you're not supposed to razor shave. Well if I dont shave, I cant see them!! So annoying! I bought a small beard trimmer but still have trouble seeing them. I've done cryo (wish they sold cryo-kits to the public) but not even a week later more sow up. I'm at my breaking point. Condylox, please work!! update soon. I know they never go away but has anyone had success with them dissipating for long periods of time? | 26 | 6 days 2X day | 2/10/2010 | 4 | Genital Warts | Same side effects most people feel. Severe burning immediately after putting on. Then the rest of the first day goes normal after the burn wears off. It's the second day that everything gets very raw and irritated. I have never been able to use this product for 3 days in a row because of the pain. But it does make a significant difference in the warts. I am going this week to the urologist to get them either lasered or frozen or whatever it is that they do the warts. He just wanted me to use this stuff to shrink the warts as much as possible before he got to them. | M | 33 | 2 days | 12/5/2009 | 4 | HPV-AW | Jesus Christ it burns when you apply it, so do that when you are home alone. Pretty sore and tender in the area that I used it. BUT.....I am at the end of the first 3 days of use and by touch alone I can tell a different in the size of the warts. I don't know that they will necessarily come off after this one cycle since I had them for a while, but so far there seems to be improvement. I'll take the pain anyday to get rid of these things. | I was diagnosed with HPV 4 years ago and have had two clean test results since then, so I wasn't anticipating having issues, but over the last couple months I noticed when i was wiping in the bathroom that bumps had started to appear in the region of my anus....I'm not into the anal sex idea, person choice, so I was perplexed when my GYN said that they were AW esp after two years of clean pap smears....whatever, lucky me. SO far I think its working but it will most likely take two treatment weeks for me. Yes, it DOES hurt like hell....but I can still walk to school everyday, and I float in a hot bath at nite before my roommate comes home and hogs the hot water, before I do the nite application. Will be trying the Neo-pain relief for the 4 days off. | F | 29 | 3 days | 12/3/2009 | 5 | HPV | Soreness, itching, burning, pain, open wounds | My warts were relatively small, I had a dozen or so and had them frozen off. Some remained/reappeared so bought the cream online for about $240. Instead of using this twice a day I used it once a day for 5 days. I applied it with the blunt end of a needle, and used very very little each time, with the help of a mirror and flashlight. Also applied Vaseline to general area and waited at least 30 minutes before putting on clothes or moving around.
Day 1. Did not feel discomfort at all. Wondered if it's working. Day 2. Some mild itching/burning. Day 3. Burning/Pain more intense. Some started to crust/scab up. Day 4. Warts turned into hard whitish scabs. Experienced pain when touched. Day 5. Some turned into open wounds. Applied Neosporin with Pain Relief. Day 6. Stop using Condylox. Keep applying Neosporin once a day. After that I just waited a couple of days for them to completely heal. It is about 2 weeks later now and they are gone and the spots are healed. I'm anticipating that they might return. At first I thought this was way too painful and annoying, I should have just gotten them frozen off again. However, this proved to work in the privacy of my own home. I still have a lot left so if they do flare up I can use again and save money by not going to the dermatologist. I think it's worth it if you do it correctly and don't mind a couple of days of discomfort. | F | 27 | 5 days | 12/2/2009 | 4 | gw aw | little burning | Not quite to the end of the first cycle. Didn't notice any change until today, the 2nd day of not applying the gel. Had 1 small one that is almost gone in just the last day. 1 big one that looks like it is starting to dry up a little. I can now see it working. Thank GOD. Will post again soon with an update. | M | 32 | 5 days | 11/20/2009 | 5 | Genital Warts | Stinging and Burning | My Doc froze my warts several times, but they never totally went away. So she gave me Condylox, told me to put it on my warts 3 consecutive days a week twice a day. okay. well, the first go round was not pretty. She didn't really stres how careful you should be to NOT GET THIS ON YOUR NORMAL SKIN. I had a bunch in the area between my vagina and my rectum, and I got some on skin down there, I was in pain for a week. You can't sit, walk, do ANYTHING. But, they did go away after the first week. They came back a couple weeks later and a few are in some tricky spots. But this time it isn't half as bad. I take my time and make sure to get it directly on the wart and make SURE it dries first as well. That would be my main advice, take your time, be accurate and make sure they dry and you'll have no problems. This gel is awesome at curing warts if you do it right. | F | 21 | 1 months | 11/9/2009 | 5 | Anal Wart | Intense burning and itching after Day 3, on first day off treatment. Exacerbated by movement. Lasted for four days, on the fifth day off the treatment normal activities could be resumed. It would wake me up during the night, that's how intense it was. | Give yourself time to do nothing but sit on the first day of rest, time it so it falls on a free weekend. Neosporin cream with pain relief with be your best friend, apply with a q-tip. For me sitting helped, even in sleep. I took to sleeping in a chair for a few nights. Extremely effective, just be aware of the side effects. Using petroleum jelly in unaffected areas to keep from getting it on your skin is highly advised. | M | 21 | 3 days | 11/8/2009 | 1 | GW on anus | Burnt healthy skin, rawness, oozing, light bleeding. malodor. misery. | Ebola virus in a tube. Doc didnt advise me well on this stuff. I put a dot on the wart on my crack, which rubbed against the other cheek, burning on both sides of the equator. Painful to walk, sit, do just about anything. Prescribed to take for 10 days, if I did ten days of this stuff, it would probably eat straight through to my colon. Doc sliced the wart off, then prescribed this to keep it from coming back. now i just hope the rest of my skin down there grows back. BE SUPER CAREFUL WITH THIS STUFF! | M | 24 | 3 days | 10/16/2009 | 5 | GW | I had one big wart and some smaller ones and after the first day of using Condylox I only had the big one and one small one left. After the third day they are way smaller and are almost all gone. Judging from the rate of success from the first week, by the end of the second week I expect them all to be completely gone. I'm glad I read this posting before I started using Condylox. I made sure to not get it on any healthy skin and I used a hair dryer on cool to let it dry. I experienced extreme itching and pain one of the nights and the day after it kind of hurt to walk but then the pain went away the next day. It wasn't anything unbearable and it was definitely worth it! I might try neosporin the next week which might help with the itching. | I only dealt with itching and slight pain on one of the nights. I would definitely recommend this product. I used Aldara the week before and saw no results. After the first day of using Condylox I only had two warts left and they are almost gone after the third application. I have also been taking 2,000mg of vitamin C everyday, eating healthy, not smoking cigarettes and getting lots of sleep which is probably helping my immune system. | F | 18 | 3 days | 9/25/2009 | 3 | GW on pubic area | mild buring and iching | i have not seen any changes in my warts. The Dr did not do a good job explaining to me what was going to happen or what i might expect during treatment. Now there are red spots over the warts which i hope is a good thing. My warts are still there so i hope they start to go away soon. | M | 28 | 2 weeks | 9/17/2009 | 5 | Genital Warts | One little dot of gel on the wart works!! If you have big warts go get them frozen off, it doesn't hurt at all and if you are embarassed, do what I did, find a female dermatologist!! | M | 40 | 2 weeks | 8/28/2009 | 3 | Genital Warts | Burning and pain. | This treatment is on par with the others I have had. Aldara was the only thing that didn't hurt but I had an allergic reaction to it. Cryotherapy was the most painful I have ever done, because each wart is frozen. I have about 50 warts due to a severe outbreak because I am diabetic and I couldn't take the pain. My last acid treatment left a sore. I am praying that his will finally do the trick. | F | 27 | 2 days | 8/21/2009 | 3 | shaft warts | i havent noticed any of the severe burning. its a mild stinging for a bit. its hard to get it exactly on the tiny warts. its harder waiting naked for it to dry. i use a cotton swab with the cotton removed, its just a stick. i refuse to use the applicator tube because it will waste the medicine and possibly not store as well or last as long. | the reason i want it to last a long time is because it waws $240!!!!!!!!! standing there with them knowing why i had to have the gel was one thing and then standing there with $30 in my pocket and a credit card...sucked. i had to charge the stuff but i must stop any growth or spreading. im starting the 3rd day and they dont appear to be dying. | M | 2 days | 8/21/2009 | 2 | Anal Warts | Excruciating pain!, stinging, burning, odor, rotting skin | Just did the 1st three day treatment and I am at home right now, cannot even walk from the pain. I have never felt such severe pain in my life. I think I would rather wait for the warts to fall off on their own than to use this medicine again. I would literally start crying when I sat on the toilet to apply the gel just thinking of the stinging and the pain after that. The warts are still there, as big as ever and they seem swollen, I cant go to the bathroom coz I cant wipe due to the pain. Im just miserable. On top of that I cant even shower and scrub btwn my buttocks coz of the pain. I now have a nasty odor on my privates like rotting flesh, and it looks like my flesh is rotting down there. Will throw away that medicine for sure. At least I only paid $35 with my insurance. | F | 30 | 3 days | 8/18/2009 | 4 | Molluscum | I had a few Molluscum spots in my genital area and since I did not like the idea of scarring due to freezing, my Dr, gave me condylox. The first two days of its use, i felt nothing, light burning on application but fine after that. Third day it started to feel that something was going on as the are started drying up. After the 4 day break I started applying Condylox again, and on the 2nd day of my 2nd course, the area became very very painful. I had issues walking, sitting, sleeping. I immediately went to see my Dr, and he told me that i now have an infection and gave me Bactroban. Thatw as a miracle gel and the pain and the Molluscum went away withing 3-4 days. So my take is this. Use condylox and Bactroban togethr. You will have a strong likelihood of bacterial infection come in when the condylox starts working on the virus, and that is what causes the pain. Bactroban at least in my opinion took care of the 2ndary infection | This gel works, is very possible, but you have to be patient. My molluscum disappeared on the 2nd course, but it is so powerful that it caused infection to creep in and thats where the pain came from. I would ask the dr to also give you some anti bacterial gel to rub once or twice a day. The condylox is though no guarantee that Molluscum will not happen again. Mine disappeared but in 1 and a half months a few more popped up. Now I know the routine so attacking it with the condyloc Bactroban combination | M | 39 | 12 days | 8/2/2009 | 4 | GW | Some discomfort with the effected areas after application. the non infected skin must have gotten the gel on it cause there is a patch of dried, slightly tinted red skin. It looks dry and crackled. Does anyone know after applying the gel if you're supposed to let it sit here or wash it off after it dries or what?! | Aside from what i said over there, i'm wondering what everyone else does after applying the gel? Do you let the gel just stay there or do you let it dry for a bit then wash and dry before going about your day? the box doesn't really say. | M | 24 | 4 days | 7/28/2009 | 3 | GW | Painful, burnsss | So I was diagnosed with HPV about two years ago, and I now have my first symptom, GENITAL WARTS. At first it FREAKED ME OUT! I had no idea what it was because I was cleared from HPV, so I thought I didn't have it anymore. I was prescibed condylox from my doctor, and it BURNS!!! I have to literally prepare myself before putting it on. And once I put it on I had to breathe like I am having a baby and count to twenty. I do not know how many warts I have, but at first it was a little thing, but the first doctor prescibed me aldara and it seem to make it worse. So then I was given condylox, I am on day two and they seem to be getting better, but I am not competely sure, right now I am just looking forward to the four day break, and hoping they are gone before the next three application days. And like everyone else said DO NOT GET IT ON THE HEALTHY SKIN, I seen little red bumps around my warts, which I thought were maybe more warts growing in the process, but now I am starting to think I was WRONG. I will be back tomorrow, hopefully I have luck like some of these other ppl and they fall off by the third day. | F | 21 | 2 days | 7/23/2009 | 3 | Genital Warts | About two months ago i realized I had some wart like bumps on my pubic patch. I went to the doctor she thought it was folliculitis because I shave and I was relieved. I then went to the dermatologist today because they have recently been worse and I wanted an answer. I whiped it out and he saw them for all of 2 seconds and said they were warts and I was shocked. Told me to use condylox and I will post soon and give an update. | I used the gel for the first time a few hours ago and have not felt any burning or itching yet so I hope it doesn't occur. Its a total mind blow that I could have genital warts at age 19 | M | 19 | 1 days | 7/23/2009 | 4 | hpv anal warts | Burning for about a min after condyloz is applied.. some iching not much. | I have used aldara I had no problems with it matter of fact my hpv infection was gone for 4 years thought it cured me. But I have reached a outbreak and can't get ride of them. I used aldara again. And they won't go away just makes them smaller... so I applied a ton of it and it lit my ass on fire lol.... that's only eay I could see a affect... so I just finished my first wee treatment today and the area looks white.... as if its been soaking in water... haven't experience dry affect yet or crust.. no order either.. looks like it has remove some warts I had 3 small ones and 1 bigger one that were white colored ne ways... some blood after applying condylox just spots... and I think there looks like there is a hole where a wart may have been still to early to see full results... but this site is good info for peeps with hpv | M | 24 | 3 days | 7/19/2009 | 3 | External Genital Warts | a lot of burning, skin peeling, redness everywhere...hardcore stuff | I was prescribed it about a week ago...the doc said i had 50-100 bumps it was pretty bad. But i used this for one week and they are gone! i might have one or two but im waiting to see exacally whats goin on before i do it again because the gel is made my pubic region really sensitive and red and im missing some skin :(. But as of now im pretty satisfied with the product, we'll see in the next coming week. | M | 20 | 1 weeks | 7/19/2009 |
