    They told me to use it for 3 days, stop for 4, and start again. I only used it for 2.5 days because my butt started to burn and itch really badly! Like some of the other reviews, it was literally RAW. My whole butt was red and burning and it hurt to poop and and stuff. I used A LOT of vaseline and other various creams to help ease the burning and itching. My doctor told me this was a side effect b ... Show Full Comment

    Im on my third week ... 3 days on and 4 days off. I've applied the product once a day for 3 days. The warts have gotten smaller but are still there. My skin is itching and I have alot of discomfort. Product has been unsatisfactory . I will wait till im done with my fourth week to get them surgically removed.

    The first couple times i used the medication it burned a little. after my first cycle of 3 days on 4 days off all the warts were pretty much gone. however one has started to come back so i am using the medication again. be careful with how much you apply during your first cycle, the liquid can easily spread to non infected areas causing unnecessary pealing. im trying to limit the amount i put on t ...

    I'm only on day 6, week one of treatment and have found my warts to be 95%+ gone! I had two 0.2 cm raised warts on my labia minora and one 0.5 cm flat wart on the inside of my labia minora. It took some manuvering to correctly apply the medication but other than that was simple. Day 1 of application it did not burn but was slightly irritated. Day 2 the warts turned from a more fleshy color to ... Show Full Comment

    Not only did it hurt, but when it accidentally got on skin that wasn't affected, it literally ate holes in my penis. Now I not only have to deal with the warts, but acid burns that the doctor says will take 3-4 weeks to heal before we can try another treatment. $99 for something to put me in more pain? I think not.
