| 3 | GW | omg....it burrrnnsssss...if you do not carefully put it on the affected area..AND let it dry...it will burn..ALOT..its like acid on the skin...and im not exaggerating..i cant sit or walk straight..every ounce of me wants to head to the gym but i cant move...and some of my skin has peeled off | the warts did go away though..i've only been using it for three days..and the doctor prescribed it for me..for a month..so im debating whether i wanna keep using it even though all my warts are gone..plus i heard to ease the acid pain is by using neosporin..i juss used it..and its working okay... | F | 23 | 3 days | 7/18/2009 | 1 | GW | I was prescribed this medication is 1991 for warts. I suffered a severe chemical burn that was so very painful. The vulvar skin never healed and I had to have reconstructive surgery b/c the "acid" I will call it burned me to pieces. Since that time, I have not had children, cannot have sex, and live in chronic debilitating vulvar pain. How is that for a side effect from this mediaction? Get your warts lasered!! | NEVER USE THIS. IT ALTERED MY LIFE FOREVER. PLEASE PLEASE DON'T USE. I TRIED TO SUE THIS PHARM COMPANY AND LOST. THEY DON'T CARE. A TAKE HOME ACID?? COME ON?????? | F | 38 | | 6/26/2009 | 4 | Genital Warts (anal) | It burned a lot, and I really couldn't move for the couple of days I used it. But - it reduced the size of my warts drastically. | Make sure you put it on the warts ONLY - It will cause sever pain and bleeding if put on skin. | M | 18 | | 6/17/2009 | 1 | Genital Warts | Stinging, difficulty moving if it stretched affected skin, moderate pain at all times, | Do not take condylox gel. It is very painful and takes too long. It's also very expensive. (It cost me $200 WITH insurance.) Just have them frozen off. I know that sounds scary, but the pain is rather minimal and the it doesn't hurt very much at all after. The skin dies more quickly and flakes off within 5 days. Condylox didn't take away as many as freezing did and I only had to go to the doctor's office twice for treatment. Only two warts had remained after the first visit. They don't even know how condylox gel warts...that in itself should be scary. | M | 18 | 3 days | 6/14/2009 | 4 | GW | Burning, Stinging, Pain, Soreness, Odor. | This stuff works, but like everyone else has said previously- BE CAREFUL! Only apply to warts not healthy skin. It stings upon application and hurts starting around the 2nd day of treatment. This is the second time I've used it and it took a lot for me to even do it again because the last time I couldn't sit, stand or properly wipe myself! But like I said it works- and I will take pain over embarrassing warts any day! | F | 25 | 3 days | 6/11/2009 | 1 | Anal GW | None except for the fact that I now have 2 holes in my anus. One I was born with and the second one was from this horrible acid called Condylox. | Worst pain ive ever felt. The scariest part is that I can visibly see missing flesh. I cant sleep at night. I cant walk. Im debating whether I should go to the ER right now. I used the appropriate amount. It just spread around the area when I walked. I cant imagine a pain worse that this. In just 3 days it has eaten about a depth of 1cc of skin right off. bloody too. Im not kidding. | M | 19 | 3 days | 5/25/2009 | 4 | Molluscum | I am on day 4 for Molluscum, NOT FOR GENITAL WARTS. First two days felt nothing, but day three it started to itch a little, skin got harder and it felt itchy. I applied the medicine exactly as was perscribed, i.e only applied to the molluscum that had popped up. Well day four it burnt a bit, was scratch, though a good scratch, and the skin has turned brittle and dark. Lets see what happens next, though on physical examination, the molluscum seem to be drying up | M | 39 | 4 days | 5/15/2009 | 1 | genital warts | n/a | ive never used condylox. i use yellow dial soap. sounds too good to be true (and for those that have many large warts it might not work) but i only get one or two medium sized warts maybe once a year and yellow dial soap gets rid of them in less than a week. sounds crazy i know but it works for me and NO PAIN...also i try to keep a very good diet so that my immune system is healthy. | F | 26 | 0 days | 5/5/2009 | 3 | anal warts | not taken yet. | So, the surgeon told me to have my anal warts removed at surgery. then i went to a GI doctor and he told me that they normally do surgery in my community because we have lots of surgeons available and this is a easy task. I asked him about condylox and he prescribed to me, Im now afraid to use it because of all of these comments below, it seems like 1 or a few days of pain from surgery is far less pain than everyone here having to go through it for possibly 4 weeks. any suggestions? | M | 27 | 0 days | 5/2/2009 | 2 | genital warts (rectal) | Stinging and burning for about 90 seconds. Slight to moderate discomfort for the duration of treatment. | I had about 20-30 warts total of various sizes about 6 of them were pretty large and seemed to be main ones which the smaller ones were growing around. I went through 1.5 small bottles of Condylox paying about $130 USD for each bottle. I used it for 4 days on then I would take a week off. After the first treatment many of the smaller warts were gone and the larger ones became smaller. After many weeks of treatment all but 1 large wart were gone. This 1 very large wart would swell up during the treatment then shrink down to the size it was before the treatment week. Getting frustrated that I could not get rid of this last one I searched for alternative treatments. I read that Apple Cider Vinegar can get rid of all warts. I tried this which I would pour some on a cotton ball or balled up tissue and dab it all over the infected area. There was only a little bit of stinging for about 20 seconds and no discomfort after the application. I did this about 3-4 times a day morning after noon evening and before I went to bed. In about 2 weeks the final wart was gone. It has been about a year now and the warts have not returned. My suggestion is to anyone w/any wart infection to try this if you don’t have any allergies to Apple Cider Vinegar. Its far less painful and very inexpensive and a natural treatment as opposed to an unnatural chemical one. | M | 33 | 6 months | 3/30/2009 | 3 | gw | I had 1 wart on my anal region. Experienced severe pain, redness and bleeding, mild odor all around the area where the gel got on the healthy skin tissue on the 2nd rest day after 3 days of treatment. | I cannot stress enough DO NOT let this gel get on healthy skin tissue. It is very severe pain and bleeding. I feel like my skin is raw and peeling away. When it says let it dry wait at least 30 minutes to move at all. I think the product does its job considering the wart is about gone but so is my entire anal region. It didn't effect me like this until the 2nd rest day but I'm telling you it is so very painful if it gets on healthly skin. I have been using neosporin with pain relief which helps, but I'm wondering how long it will take that area to heal. It is so tender and it burns when I walk. It truly is horrible pain. And it is bled alot that 2nd rest day. If you apply it correctly with patience it will work, however BE CAREFUL! Had I known how bad it was gonnna be I would have been more careful. | F | 27 | 3 days | 3/11/2009 | 4 | genital venereal warts | PAIN - SWELLING | I misused the drug due to the fact that i didnt read the directions or research the net about it. I wish i would have found this page before i used it or read the directions that were given to me when i picked up the prescription. Being a dumb ass man, i just put it all over my penis and on the warts. My penis swelled twice its size it seems and was very painful. I knew i was suppose to use it for three days then rest. I did so, but was missusing the gel everywhere on my penis head and shaft. Finally instinct told me to stop using it and rest. Im on day 3 of rest and my penis is back to normal and the warts are deadening and old skin is coming off. Now reading this I will start up tommorrow AFTER my showers and apply ONLY on the warts themselves with a cotton swab applicator a small dot on the warts. I only have three and expect they will disappear soon. They are already dead it seams, but when I shower they turn white and are noticeable. I will apply only for three more day | M | 39 | 3 days | 3/3/2009 | 2 | HPV | a little itching | I'm starting my third treatment week and my wart still remains. I've had no pain, just a bit of itching. the wart has gone down slightly in size but just barely, I'd imagine this is going to have to be surgically removed. I'm disappointed. | M | 26 | 2 weeks | 2/24/2009 | 3 | HPV, Warts | 1st day I felt nothing, 2nd day had slight burning & itching, 3rd day more burning & itching. On my 4th day (my 1st off day), I had tons of pain, burning, itching, tingling, open sores, a little bleeding. This is day 5 and still as bad as day 4. I wanna cry! | The medicine is working, but this seems like a lot of pain to go through. My doctor told me that taking this medicine was the pain free route to take and so far it's been farrrrr from pain free. But they are slowly falling off which is something cause I've used Aldara before and that was a waste of time. | F | 26 | 5 days | 2/18/2009 | 1 | GW | Very Painful | I used the gel about a year ago. It did great, but afterwards I continued to feel itching around my vaginal area. Went to the dr, and she said it was a yeast from the antibiotic. Most of the itch went away with yeast infection meds, but a little didn't. The problem is I put the gel on healthy skin, and it caused a itch that has never went away. I am not sure if it's a yeast or bacteria from the gel that will not go away. Please, Please someone if u can help please e-mail me. | F | 29 | 4 days | 2/10/2009 | 4 | HPV / G. Warts | Day 1. I have 13 warts on base of my shaft and 1 about a little over an inch above my shaft. I applied it about an hour ago. Not feeling any burning or tingling on the wart itself. The only pain I have experienced is some of the condylox gel rubbed on my inner thigh and had a slight burn until I washed it with soap and water. Hopefully I put enough on because I can not feel any burning onthe warts. I'll send day 2 update tomorrow | I just advise be very careful when you apply it. Don't be sloppy with the gel and rub it all over, That might hurt a little. | M | 28 | 1 days | 2/7/2009 | 1 | wartsonmydaughters belly | i stupidly brought my daughter to a dermatalogist for two warts on her belly that in 3 months of treatments spread to 6 and now one over her eye, shes only 8 and i dont know where it could have come from, i was told its a virus, now when i searched for this new cream they prescribed i see its for genital warts and it annoys me that this could be prescribed for a child, and im so retarted i didnt think of searching first, after 900 dollars out of pocket for this medicine i see its a big mistake, i was told to do it twice a day on each wart and what she has is a big red burnt areas around her stomache and chest, that burned the crap out of her, so not acceptable for a kid to go through, so dermatalogist provides a cream called desonide which after i read up on it now it is a steroid and should not be put on children!! I'm so fed up with this! i cant believe this is happening to us!so anyone that reads this before buying for a child, do not even try to put on ur kids, also this cream is f | for what it does it may be good for an adult but definitely not for a child! | F | 8 | 5 days | 1/15/2009 | 4 | genital warts | after the first cycle of using this gel i could barely walk, i WAS swollen, had open sores and it burned soo much. I didn't take any medicine for the intense pain. After three days I was able to go back to normal and my vagina looked normal again and I was clear from all the warts i had. two months later I saw warts appear and everytime I see one, I put the gel onto them. I am careful now and never have experienced the pain I went through the first time | this medicine is very expensive but very useful. make sure to only apply to warts n let dry until the wart looks white. | F | 21 | 3 days | 1/13/2009 | 4 | hpv warts | not too much.actually maybe a little itching, and a little discmfort by the ones on my "nacha" (not your vagina / not your butthole) | i've read the commentsabove and i have to say i was pretty impressed. i was so scared to try it because of burning and the sore i read above, but within the first application i noticed they were smaller. well at least the ones that were similiar to tag moles. the larger warts i noticed looked a bit dryed out. this morning i applied my second application, they are sore to touch but no scorching burning pain. but i applied my gel with a q-tip and i had a magnifying mirror to make sure i was applying it ONLY to the warts themselves. i dont completely cover my entire warts either. just the head of them, maybe that would help cut down the burning on the other people who are experiencing pain. but also i take a shower before each application. but i'll be back in a couple of days to let you guys know how it goes. i also started taking vitamin c each day starting yesterday when i did my first application to help boost my immune susytem so maybe that will be a factor in the healing process. i r | F | 27 | 2 days | 12/18/2008 | 4 | Genital warts. | General sorness. kind of hurt to walk. | I think the main thing with this is making sure you DO NOT hit healthy skin. I have about seven..some were rather large. I'm on day two and they are over halfway off. I'm having some pain. I'd call it just sore feeling though and it hurts to walk a BIT but nothing like anybody else is saying. I hvae two doese left and seeing as how they are hanging off i know they'll be gone in one round of treatment. It takes me nearly thrity mins. to put this on. I cannot stress that enough GET A HARD MIRROR IF YOU ARE A WOMAN AND MAKE SURE YOU DONT HIT ANY HEALTHY SKIN. I ALSO PUT A MINIMAL AMOUNT ON AND IT DID THE JOB. I'm pretty sure a lot of people are overusing this. Also ladies if you have a hair dryer put it on cool and dry it with that...that way it doesn't migrate. | F | 28 | 2 days | 12/17/2008 |
