Podofiln vs. Condyl: Which one works better?

Does anyone know where I can pick up some podophyllin solution for treating genital warts? Or maybe some Condyl...

Everything should be handled through a doctor, if I recall correctly! Especially when it comes to Podophyllin—doctors (specifically dermatologists or specialists working through your insurance) are the ones who perform the application, and as I understand it, you'll definitely need a prescription to get Condyl
There is actually an entire thread dedicated to this over on Healthline... covering everything regarding warts and HPV.

Yeah, but my doctor told me I’d have to do the digging myself since they don't really handle that anymore here in the States...

You have to pick up Condyl on your own with a basic prescription; it’ll run you about $83. If you go the Podofill way through a pharmacy, expect to pay closer to $25 once you factor in the doctor's note. Honestly, if you're dealing with skin warts, fig milk is actually more effective than any of that—it's stronger and entirely natural. For mucosal issues, just try applying a tiny bit of PlivaSept, but be careful with it. It's better, more efficient, and cheaper than both Podofill and Condyl!!!!!

Where can you find anything more natural than podophylotoxin? It’s extracted directly from the podophyllum plant and its effectiveness at treating condylomas is clinically proven.
Nobody has actually studied fig milk.

Fig milk is one of those old-school home remedies my grandmother used to swear by when I was five; I actually used it to clear a wart off my hand back then. As far as clinical trials go, I don't really feel the need for lab results proving fig efficacy. I spent an entire year applying Condyl, throwing a small fortune down the drain—not that I regret the experience, but there were zero results. Then, I tried a combination of fig and PlivaSept just once, and I haven't had a single Condyl in FOUR MONTHS! So, there's your verdict on "effective" Condyl and podophyllin. It’s all just chemistry and wasted effort.

You can't argue like that—just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean it's useless.
Tylenol doesn't touch my pain, but I wouldn't dream of saying the drug is bad just because it helps millions of other people and has proven clinical efficacy.
Everyone back in California used fig milk for warts, but I've never heard of anyone using it to treat Condyl.
Podophyllin is completely natural, just like fig milk, regardless of what you think. Meanwhile, PlivaSept is a fully synthetic preparation (chlorhexidine is pure, man-made synthetics).
I'm sorry it didn't work for you, but that doesn't mean it won't work for others. It's an official medication, not some dietary supplement.
Isn't podophyllin prescribed as a compounded medication?😕 😕

Fair point, but I was just so disappointed when they didn't help me, and then I discovered fig milk and PlivaSept and—lo and behold! So, I just wanted to suggest to her that there are other alternatives besides Condyl and Podophyllin which, in my experience, were more effective. Perhaps if it worked for me, it might work for her too.

It never hurts to try—as long as it’s safe!😬 Just be careful with the PlivaSept. It can irritate the mucous membranes, so use it sparingly and only directly on the affected areas.

Hi everyone, I think I have Condyl warts, and I went to see my primary care physician about it, but she didn't even bother looking at them since I just explained it was related to puberty and everything else, which was pretty typical. These "warts" are really bothering me, so I am wondering if this method using fig milk and Plivascept actually works for men too? Also, does anyone know where I can pick those things up and could someone explain the best way to apply them? Thanks.

Drawing from my own personal struggles with condyls, I’d suggest looking into Aldara cream. In my experience, things like cauterization, podophyllin, or most other topical treatments you find on the market just don't cut it. I dealt with HPV about five years ago, and honestly, it was an exhausting battle until my doctor finally pointed me toward Aldara. I truly tried everything under the sun—immune-boosting teas like Tahebo, those great anti-inflammatory syrups you can pick up at Walgreens, various vaginal suppositories, Virulex cream... you name it, I tried it.
Once I managed to get my hands on some Aldara after traveling to Germany, the condyls began to clear up bit by bit, and even my CIN 2 readings resolved. I’ve had completely clear results for four years now, so despite this being a viral issue, it seems to have vanished for good.
I should warn you, though, that Aldara is quite potent. During the treatment period, you're going to deal with skin irritation and itching... but that’s just the price you have to pay for progress.
There are plenty of differing theories regarding its efficacy; you'll find one segment of the medical community fully behind it, while others remain skeptical.
Ultimately, the growths disappeared for me, and in about 90% of cases, they don't seem to return (though I’d need to double-check that specific statistic since I'm not 100% certain).
As for that fig leaf remedy, that might be a decent approach for warts on your hands or other external areas, but when it comes to genital issues, fig extract is far too aggressive (due to the sap). That's really all I have to share. I actually studied HPV for several years, so if anyone needs more specific advice, I'm happy to help. Just a heads-up: abroad, the cream runs about $85–$95. Here in the States, it tends to be a bit more expensive, around $273. It’s also not available everywhere; you usually have to order it through specific pharmacies, like the ones near downtown Chicago or certain specialized clinics in the suburbs. So, there you go.

Alright, thanks a lot; I am interested in hearing all perspectives, though I am male so I am not sure if that changes things, and I am honestly not even certain yet if these are actually warts. My general practitioner told me it's just typical for someone my age, but I insisted on seeing a dermatologist instead, and I have an appointment scheduled for July 7th, though I really can't wait that long. Best regards.
