Condylox

I am excited because it appears that the condylox is working on my warts, I have an appointment with my gyno on June 11th so hopefully they will be able to tell me which HPV strain I have and if I have any warts that the condylox doesnt work on they will be able to remove. Since being diagnosed with HPV i have been down in the dumps, but now that some of the warts have disappeared I am starting to feel better about myself, and not so disgusting as I have been. I got diagnosed at the naval hospital and I havent been to the gyno yet, so I am just praying that the worst is over. If anyone has any advice for me or just any words of encouragement it would be greatly appreciated!

" Hi Lateeda,
Good Luck! Everything will be fine. I was down too but HPV is not the worse thing to have. It's so common, treatable, and it doesn't LAST FOREVER! THANK GOD!
Unfortuntely, I didn't have any luck with my gyno so I've been seeing a dermatologist. My dermatologist mentioned Condylox - does it burn?

" It burns but not intensely. I just did a little inspection and it appears that they have been clearing up quite a bit but it looks like I am getting one on the opening of my vagina (possibly from using tampons) but I am not completely sure if that is what it is... "

" My advice don't use tampons.
Don't especially during treatment and since yours are located in the vaginal opening area. Use pads in the meantime during your monthly. "

" It depends on how many you have and how your body reacts to this treatment. I would think one full cycle which is 3-4wks. "

" Most of mine are gone already and today is the third day I have been using it, so i guess it depends on your body. I only used tampons for the first two days because my ob told me i could, but now i am using pads.... which sucks, but its better than the alternative "

" How many cycles have you done? Mine are very small and I have only done one cycle. They appear to be gone. I made the mistake of using too much of the medicine and am all torn up so I need to take a longer break. but they don't appear to be there anymore. "

" Thanks. Let me know how it goes. I had a very bad reaction to condylox and had to go to the doctor. Very painful. I think that I may have put on too much of it. "
