Human papillomavirus is a diverse group of DNA-based viruses that infect the skin and mucous membranes of humans. More than 100 different human papillomavirus (HPV) types have been characterized. Some HPV types cause benign skin warts, or papillomas, for which the virus family is named. HPVs associated with the development of such "common warts" are transmitted...

Does anyone use Condylox? If you do, and are new to it, and/or HPV, please read on. Don't roll up the tube like a toothpaste as you use it like I did for some stupid reason. The bottle is made out of a soft metal, and it will split. This happened to me during my last treatment. I went to use it again the other day, and it was all dried up. If your like me, and don't have health insurance, you know that Condylox is very expensive. I've paid between $200 and $285 for a tube the size on my pinkey finger. Also, ALWAYS recap it as soon as you are done. It dries up fast, and the more it dries, the less effective it is. Another thing, don't pick at the scabs that it leaves, let them fall off naturally. They leave scars if you do, and were already trying to deal with having warts, scars aren't much better looking. Start taking vitamins and living a healthy lifestyle when you start your treatment, otherwise, the warts tend to come right back. Good luck everyone!

I am so very thankful to see this post! I was just going to ask my physician for condylox, as it's the *only* topical treatment I haven't tried. Would you not recommend using this treatment? How often have you used it? I've heard some horror stories about it, but honestly, I don't care at the this point, as I'm so close to just cutting them off myself!

Condylox does work, but it burns, and leaves a minor scar, that will fade in time. As with most meds, they usually come back. I've used it about 10 times. I'm taking a break from prescriptions for a while, and trying some natural remedies. I would defiantly give it a shot though, just be prepared, it does sting a bit, but it's not unbearable. Good luck!

I was given a sample of condylox during my first outbreak. Does it not work after 4 weeks? It seems to have stopped working. Im also trying to give my body a rest and try some natural treatments. (coconut oil and acv) i loved how fast the condylox got rid of them though.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
