For Condylomata Acuminata "I applied twice a day for 3 days and was very careful to ONLY apply to the wart tissue. I'm on my first 'rest' day now. I have experienced little to no discomfort, only mild redness, swelling, and an open wound where warts used to be. The open wound where the warts used to be isn't too painful. It hurts a bit to wipe. The wart tissue started turning white and falling off after the 2nd day. I was glad to see them go so quickly. As far as I can tell, the medicine burnt off all the warts in the first treatment cycle! I've used Aldara before, and it took a while to see results. I highly recommend trying Podofilox. I am anxious to see if any warts come back. I'm crossing my fingers that they won't. This medicine worked quickly for me."

Podofilox topical for Condylomata Acuminata "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."

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."
