For Condylomata Acuminata "The first 3 days on podofilox seemed to have no effect, just very itchy, and it turned the cluster of warts between my vagina and anus white. Then, 4th day nothing, 5th day was the same except my skin started peeling around warts, but warts still there. Then, on the 6th and 7th day, some of the small warts were completely gone, and the bigger ones were shrinking drastically. I only have 2 of the bigger warts left, which are significantly smaller. This cream works, but it requires patience. There has been a lot of discoloration in that area due to the skin peeling and new skin growing back on top of the raw skin. Should be no problem as long as I drink lots of water and let it heal properly. If you’re in the same position as I was in when I started - please don't panic and don't stress over the warts. Be patient and use the cream/solution sparingly on your warts. Also, don’t constantly check on your warts because you’ll make yourself feel worse about it. They eventually clear up with proper treatment."

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."

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 "This stuff works great. On my third day off after my first round, everything has cleared up beautifully. It doesn't really burn on the days on, but oh my, is it agony for the days off. Skin is peeling and red burn marks on the areas I used it. Trust me and the bottle when it says to use a small amount and only use it on the warts (I was a bit too liberal while applying, but lucky I seem to be healing up perfectly). Cannot stress how well this has worked. All of the small warts under the skin are completely gone, as well as the larger ones that have all turned to scabs and fallen off. Good luck, and please use sparingly."

For Condylomata Acuminata "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."

Podofilox topical for Condylomata Acuminata "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."

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."
