For Condylomata Acuminata "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..."

For Condylomata Acuminata "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."

For Condylomata Acuminata "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."

For Condylomata Acuminata "I have been using this for about 2 and a half weeks. When I first used this, it did not burn really bad. I felt it, but it was bearable. The next two days, the pain has gotten worse when applying, but I dealt with it. However, I noticed patches on my skin that looked burnt and started to bleed lightly. The warts were gone, so that’s all that mattered. The following week, I noticed a couple more in a different area, so I applied it! TERRIBLE burning like I never felt before. Two days later, here I am, and my skin looks like it’s peeling off, raw without the warts. Had to make another appointment because it feels worse than when I started. I don’t recommend it because it’s so easy to burn your skin with the warts."
