For Condylomata Acuminata "I slept with this guy, and he didn’t tell me what he had. I was silly enough to not be safe. A few months later, I get these warts. I finally got medication for them. I’m on day 2, and boy does my anal area BURN. I’m applying it to the spots, but it does contact regular skin. I can’t wipe, so I suggest buying baby wipes because that helps a lot. I have about 6-7 spots, 1 really big, but I can see the tips turning white. I’ll give you guys an update, but from the looks of it, I think it’s going good. Sorry to anyone who feels bad about themselves at this moment because I know I did. But everything is going to be okay! You are still you! We will get through this."

For Condylomata Acuminata "Appears as though it works, but I wasn't warned to be cautious and only apply to affected areas. I am currently suffering from what feels like I have spread my ass cheeks and have been dragged at the very least 150 feet across the concrete. My skin is gone, burned, and painful. A simple blast of air from a small fan feels like shrapnel blasting against my skin. Walking is painful, same as bending over; hell at this point, I hurt from breathing. The only relief I have found has been in applying half a tube of Neosporin with pain relief today alone. I think I could yield the same results by being shot with laser guns. This pain should be on a poster for safe sex."

For Condylomata Acuminata "Lord, the burning and discomfort is horrible! My daily routines changed for a week, but it works, they fell off after the first cycle. Had to go to four doctors to get this prescribed! It really works. Skin will peel and everything is painful! But I looked at it as my punishment for not being safer with my sex life."

Podofilox topical for Condylomata Acuminata "This really works. But use the head of a pin to apply it. That will keep it off your healthy skin. Use a hair dryer to dry the medicine. It will burn healthy skin, but if you are careful it will be fine. Warts fell off in 4 days."

For Condylomata Acuminata "Had the 0.5 percent solution. Didn't experience burning, and the application was easy enough. It's easy to get it on healthy skin, so that sucks. I found that the areas that were healthy got red and dry but not terribly raw. I was unsure it was even working, but on day 4 of rest days, I noticed that the wart had fallen off in the shower and it was basically 80% healed. Do not despair if you don't experience the burning or pitting and erosion. 25-30% of patients don't. There's more than enough for a few more rounds of treatment, but fingers crossed I won't need it."

"I'm using podofilox to treat molluscum contagiosum. The burn on my beanbag is off the charts. And stink coming off my balls is equally off the charts. If this stuff doesn't burn the bumps off, I'll be really annoyed. Ridiculous burn, but bumps seem to be getting better after 7 days of use."

For Condylomata Acuminata "This stuff has definitely worked for me. I just finished the first 3-day treatment round. I had about 9 small warts and 2 larger warts, and now all that is left is 2 of the small ones and like half of one of the big ones, but the ones that are left are visibly on their way to being gone. It has left some tender skin and a few small sores behind where the warts used to be. They aren't kidding when they say not to get this on healthy skin because after a few treatments some of my skin feels incredibly raw and sore. Ibuprofen and breathable underwear seem to be helping though. Podofilox is alcohol-based, so it definitely burns if you have to put it on any warts. But the results so far are worth it for me."

For Condylomata Acuminata "I have to be honest. I didn't think it would work, but after the first week of treatment, the warts got so small I could barely see them. Then, after the second week, they were gone, I mean it. It did burn a little bit when I applied it on the warts, but it was worth it because it does truly work."

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."

For Condylomata Acuminata "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."

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 "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."

For Condylomata Acuminata "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."

For Condylomata Acuminata "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."

For Condylomata Acuminata "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."

For Condylomata Acuminata "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."

For Condylomata Acuminata "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."
