Pure podophyllotoxin (podofilox) is approved for use as a 0.5% podophyllotoxin preparation (Condylox) for application by the patient in the treatment of genital condylomas. The low concentration of podofilox significantly reduces the potential for systemic toxicity. Most men with penile warts may be treated with less than 70 n-L per application. At this dose, podofilox is not routinely detected in the serum. Treatment is self administered in treatment cycles of twice-daily application for 3 consecutive days followed by a 4-day drug-free period. Local adverse effects include inflammation, erosions, burning pain, and itching.

Herpes simplex virus is divided into HSV-1 and HSV-2. Genital herpes is usually caused by HSV-2, whereas oral herpes is caused by HSV-1. Primary herpes refers to the first outbreak of infection, whereas recurrent herpes refers to subsequent infections. With each outbreak, patients typically experience symptoms 2 to 10 days after the initial infection. Symptoms may include a "prodrome" of burning or itching, followed by the appearance of blisters and open sores within a few days. Other symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches, painful urination, or vaginal discharge are also common. In general, recurrent outbreaks are usually mild and shorter in duration.

HSV can infect many cell types (including macrophages, lymphocytes, and neurons) causing lytic, persistent, and latent infections. Because of nerve cell involvement in latent infections, a recurrence of the disease is often preceded by a prodrome (sensations such as burning or tingling). Initial HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections are usually established on mucous membranes. While HSV-1 and HSV-2 are respectively referred to as oral-herpes and genital-herpes based on their typical site of infection, HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be found on both oral and genital tissue.

Of the overall chemical burn patients, the most common sites involved were the face, neck, and upper body (87%), and the eyes or eyelids were involved in 19% of overall cases [28]. In deliberate chemical assault victims, the face and neck were commonly injured, but the genital area was also involved in many victims. Acids, such as sulfuric acid, can be obtained at low cost in Jamaica. These authors note that many of the chemical assault injuries were devastating with facial destruction and blindness. Less than half of the victims decontaminated themselves with copious water irrigation before presenting to hospital [28].
