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 "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."

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."
