    This stuff burns to hell and back. During the first cycle I couldn’t sleep for 2 days from the discomfort. DO NOT wear tights jeans because the pressure and rubbing makes for a bad day.

Weird day for someone else.

    Did as directed, on the am of the 3rd day on the second application, I could not take the burning. So I gave up. Maybe I quit to soon. Maybe I needed my penis to stop burning.

    This medication worked wonders for me after multiple mediocre or failed attempts at freezing. Freezing worked on smaller warts, but took a long time and often caused discoloration or minor scarring. On medium or larger warts, freezing was ineffective. My doctor then prescribed Aldera, which had no impact. This medication caused itching (sometimes strong). After three days there was minor inflammat ... Show Full Comment

    I've been taking this med for over a year and no change. I'm not understanding why. I'm not sure what else to try and it looks like my wife Had a bump as well and I feel like I'm wasting 50 bucks a month for nothing. Any advise?

    Works great. Do not use longer than 3 days (6 treatments). By the second day it might be extremely painful for an hour or two after application but it subsides. My GW were not on mucosal membranes, if yours are, it might be even more painful. But if you can deal with the short term pain, the GW will just fall off. I'd recommend NOT shaving pubs until you are healed up. Of course if we got the ... Show Full Comment
