Podofilox topical "I had a case of genital warts on the head of my penis. Used this treatment for 3 days, and it started swelling a lot where the foreskin was cut. Real tender and sore there and where the gel was applied. Small blisters as well. Very painful. Hurts to sleep and just wear jeans. If not better in a couple of days, will go back to the doctor. Painful."

"Used Aldara for 12 weeks with minimal effect on warts. Wish I’d been given Condyline first! After first 3-day treatment, warts seem to be gone! Word of warning, only apply very small amounts. I’ve been left with red, raw skin in the anal area."

"Female here-before I started using this Podofilox gel, I read every review there was, and one thing was consistent: the pain is excruciating. Where my warts were located was the small piece of skin between the anus and the vagina opening-a tough spot. However, I found that letting the gel dry fully and then placing a small piece of gauze over it for just a bit helped significantly to stop getting the gel on otherwise healthy skin. I had a setup with a mirror and a fan to get to them and to let the gel dry. My warts were 'tall,' according to my doctor, and it took two treatments to lose most of them. I have one small one left and will begin the third treatment shortly. It definitely made the area sore/painful when wiping after using the bathroom, but the pain I had seemed MUCH less severe than some of the other reviewers here."

"I was prescribed by my doctor to take this stuff for my condition, and I have only used it for one day now. It does burn and can make you sore after use. I'm hoping it will work for me because I'm so tired of having these things. I will keep using it and let y'all know if I have any changes in condition, good or bad."

"The warts went away the first time for about a month but came back. Be very careful, it is very, very painful. Swelling, redness, and peeling. I went to the urologist after having pretty bad symptoms. If the same happens, this is what I was told: soak in warm water with a bath. Use soap and water to clean. Chlorine water from pools is a plus. Good luck."

"I will add another rating once I've done a round or two of this medication. I picked it up due to having 2 itchy warts on my anal skin. My provider tried in-house acid, which reduced their size but ultimately did not work, so she prescribed this. Holy Moly, yes, it burns. But after dealing with this for nearly a year, I was willing to try anything. I did apply a tiny amount per the applicators I was given and had to make sure everything was dry. When it isn't fully dry or you get it on healthy skin, it does sting. I did get some tiny amount of blood from the applications after day #2, and was told to use it 3 days on and 4 days off (I think...), so today is the first day I'm not applying it. I saw the warts were visibly reduced in size, and it did leave some lightened skin, the healthy areas were burned... fingers crossed, this works..."

"This actually works. I applied it for 3 days, twice a day, as instructed, and I was quite doubtful it was actually doing anything. At the end of the 3 days, I experienced no changes in the warts, other than a slight whitening, and only some slight reddening of the surrounding area. However, 3 days after (3rd rest day), two warts just shriveled away in dust after wiping them, and the others seem to be undergoing the same process. Can't say much about recurrence, but so far I'm impressed."

"Ok! First! Read the instructions!!! You will save yourself from a lot of pain and discomfort. I’m currently ending cycle one and carelessly didn’t view the instructions, so my ***hole is on fire!! Not to mention I have diarrhea, so it hurts like lava. The trauma also opened a tear in my anus, so I gotta figure that out too. However, warts are definitely showing signs of leaving, two of them have left so far, but I wish I would have found this site before starting treatment. Oh, and keep some NeoSporin and baby wipes, they will come in handy if healthy skin gets irritated."

"I have used it for two sessions over the last 6 months. Burns, makes skin peel, but they do go away. They crust up and fall off after a few days. However, I've had a return outbreak and am using it again. If this doesn't work, then I'm doing laser removal."

"Used the Warticon solution, which contains this ingredient. This works 100%. After my first cycle, on the 3rd day, I had full clearance of all warts. They get dark, then fall off. Use with caution, even if it doesn't burn on the first few applications, you will feel it by the end of the cycle. It erodes normal skin if not applied with care (I learned this the hard way). Overall, very pleased, hopefully, they don't come back."

Podofilox topical "I'm in my 3rd cycle, and by the 1st cycle, on the 3rd day, some came off. I can't really tell if they are completely gone due to the fact that on the 3rd cycle, on the 2nd day, on my last dose, I notice that the lips of my vagina turn white and became really painful. I'm really worried. Now, the doctor said it became that way due to the medication having steroids."

"I've gone through two fills of this medication. The very first time I used it on the 4 warts I had, it worked pretty fast. Didn't really read the instructions, so it burned like hell. After the second 3 days of use, they were almost gone, then all of a sudden, 5 more popped up. It's terrible. Hasn't been very fast-acting for me since. I guess it's what I deserve for being a fool and not wrapping my tool."

Podofilox topical "I'm on day 5 of this. So, already the 3 days of treatment and now two days of rest. I didn't apply 'the minimum amount', I kinda went a bit overboard... And day 2, 3, and 4 were the most pain I've been in my life. But I'm fine now on day 5, and I went from 20 to zero warts in my butt area. Was the pain worth it? After 3 months of trying other treatments, I'd say yes, if you are okay with being in incredible pain for 3 days just to finally get it over with."

"It seems like this drug works immediately for the Caucasian skin type, but I have a darker complexion and my warts did not fall off by the second day, as some others have spoken. It may be due to the different skin type. My warts felt sore after day 3, and I didn't suffer much burn even though the solution went on normal skin. The warts did get darker, and I feel like this medicine is working. I will have to update later."

"I’m treating molluscum after two rounds of cryotherapy. The doctor and pharmacist didn’t tell me how to use it, so I applied generously, and now I’m on my second off day, and for the past 3 days I’ve been in so much pain and discomfort. My vagina feels raw and sore, and around it feels super itchy. I have bumps near my anus as well, and so my butt crack is on fire too. Be careful when applying this. I hope this stuff works because so far I haven’t seen much improvement in the bumps, but I’m majorly suffering the pain right now."

"On my 5th day of treatment for my genital warts, and so far hasn’t done anything - it's not effective at all. Besides causing some slight stinging feeling, there is no change to the warts. Disappointed."

Podofilox topical "My review of Condylox solution, which was prescribed in the UK - used, but used with a cotton bud instead of the plastic applicator. Like many people, I somehow managed to get the solution on healthy skin and didn’t allow the solution to dry fully before putting on clothes/closing my legs. My first day off treatment consisted of me being in unbearable pain, skin peeling off like crazy, so I ended up going to the doctor, where I was prescribed antibiotics and burn cream. Not sure if my warts are gone, as my skin is still peeling and constantly feels like my skin is tearing every time I move, even whilst on bed rest. Wish I had known what I know now and taken caution whilst applying the solution. Really pray I don’t have any permanent damage, as my labia looks unrecognizable with all this loose skin."

"This stuff works. I've been using it for a couple of years when the warts come back. Originally, they were pink, flesh-colored. Now, every time they come back, they are huge and ugly purple. The medication made them worse. I have to do a treatment periodically to remove them. Burns and itches like crazy."

"Got some Wart Magic, which contains podophyllin and salicylic acid in a solution. The first application my doctor did for me, the following two days I did on my own. All I can say is this is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced in my life. For the first couple of days, as the wart skin starts to turn white with a pungent smell of burnt skin, I was even bleeding a little, which had me quite worried, but that’s stopped now. Even taking a bath couldn’t fix the smell between my thighs because the medicine takes days to burn off the warts. I applied the medicine to the two warts on my testicles, and I’m on day 4 now (day 2 of rest), and they’re swollen like anything, and the pain is extremely unbearable, probably worse than when I got circumcised. I just hope the pain gets better soon. The warts on the top of my shaft were the biggest of them all, so I feel like I might get a permanent scar after the scab has fallen off."

"This is a very good drug. Although you have to be cautious where you apply it. The drug did burn and also caused my skin to peel, dry, and became very painful. My new doctor told me to stop use, and we opted for the laser surgery. It cleared them, but they still come back."

"I've been using podofilox for several years, maybe 10 now. It works, it burns/melts the warts off. They always come back though, larger and darker. From what started as one tiny wart has turned into many fairly large ones. Podofilox treatment is no picnic. You will go absolutely insane itching. Don't itch. Yes, it's a nightmare. It will clear them up for a little while though. They scab up and peel off. It is what it is. A wicked witch cursed me. I had to marry her as to not pass my curse on to other unsuspecting victims."

"So far, so good. I just am about to do my second round of treatment, and I have to say that this stuff does work well. I had at least 10 warts on my anus (NIGHTMARE). They have reduced in size dramatically with one treatment. I only did two days, though, because I could not do the third day because the pain is off the charts, and cleaning your bum will require wipes or a shower to clean. I opt for the shower because warm water eases the pain. It is going to be painful, but it does work. They do get somewhat bigger with treatment, but it is part of the process. All will be okay. Just know there are a lot of people going through this. I hope this helps someone, and you are cleared up in no time."

"Went to VA doctor for one genital wart and was prescribed podofilox, and overnight I broke out with what looked like 100 tiny mole-looking warts. This product did more damage than good for me. Do not use this product."

"Well, I just found out I had genital warts and just started using podophyllin. I’m on my second day and no burn or anything. I was told to apply once every day, so I’m forced to shower once a day at night, apply it, and then go to bed. I am a bit skeptical about the application process. Should I apply twice, like in the morning and at night?"

"I'm on my first rest day after using the drug for 3 days for my warts in the anal area. From day 2, the pain and itching started. I guess because it is a difficult area to apply, my healthy skin was affected too. For me, the medicine was very easy to use - however, please be careful not to apply on healthy skin/try to dry the area as much as possible after using the medicine because the gel gets on the healthy skin once you close your bottom. I also experienced some blood coming and had troubles walking. I hope this works. Now the warts are white as anything and hope they will fall off."
