aldara and warticon

Hi...try using wartstop24 to remove warts. It's safe and easy to use...

Warticon works in about 4-8 days. They can return with any treatment though. Aldara is supposed to be slower acting in men (up to 16 weeks). In studies, the 5% cream every other day was found to be considerably more effective than the 3%. Mine returned 7 days after warticon, few but in different places. Just had them frozen off (surprisingly pain free and easy). I have Aldara on standby. The wart doctor specifically told me that they shouldn't return. Go without sex for 3-6 months.

sorry i should hav made that clear, yes warticon is similar to aldara, it was not given to take down redness or swelling but to be sure any infected skin is treated!!

I just found out I had HPV yesterday and had my warts frozen and was given aldara to use in two days time. My question was, when would it be ok to masturbate again, and when would it be ok to have sex again?

No one treatment is better than another. People react differently to each type of method used. Your doctor may try to use liquid nitrogen and freeze your warts. I do not recommend surgery. Your warts will resolve eventually on their own anyway, be patient.

Hello, i got diagnosed with genital warts 3 months ago, at this time i got given some warticon cream to apply, to which i did and the few warts got a bit smaller, i was happy, then they started appearing again with my next prescription, but this time there are far more, bigger and all over.

About 3 years had passed and I decided to try and get rid of them once and for all - I have had several cyrotherapy treatments and also I use warticon cream - they both work initially - but then the same warts come back within a week - I must be on my 6th cycle of treatment at least by now and yet they still keep recurring - in one instance a new one has appeared at a completely different location.

I am a 20 year old female,who after a 4 year relationship had a one night stand and managed to catch genital warts. I had 2, which were first frozen off, I returned to the sexual health clinic 4 weeks later hoping they were gone, I still had one left. They gave me warticon which I applied for 3 days a week for four weeks till I returned again to the sexual health clinic, this time I was told, not only was my remaining one still there, but the one that had gone had come back!

Hi all, I am desperately seeking peoples opinions on this please. I have suffered from genital warts for around 18 months now. The first time I got the symptoms I went to my local GUM clinic and the doctor stated from a visual examination that I had the HPV virus type that caused genital warts. He then froze the warts and gave me some 'warticon' cream.

In the UK the gum clinics give out Warticon to use for 6 weeks and then you go back and they reassess. If the Warticon has worked for some but not for all then they usually use acid or freeze them off then use the Warticon after it has healed. I would continue to use the Warticon and then go back after 6 weeks like previously stated, but i have found freezing works best for more paitents.

The doctor called it vulvar dysplasia, and he prescribed aldara cream 3 times a week because he said that since there are so many a laser would be very painful and that we should try to remove some with aldara first. I have a few questions about using aldara. 1) is it harmful to shave on off days from using aldara? 2) Can shaving make the warts worse? 3) Is sex okay when the cream is not on the skin? Thank you!

ve heard good things about freezing, and warticon works by preventing HPV infected cells from multiplying and dividing. It may be worth a shot. Maybe your bodys just not reacting very well to the current treatments, and something different is best for you. It isn't fair that your urologist gives you the same treatment despite the fact you get bad results with it, next time you go in, explain that the treatments aren't working and you need to try something different.

Yes, I'm not saying that Aldara acts on HPV itself. It is indeed the body's own immune system that gets rid of HPV-infected cells, however since the virus is not systemic and lays on the outskirts of your skin, it is hard for the immune cells to detect it and excrete cytotoxins that destroy compromised cells. That's why Aldara is marketed as "killing HPV from the inside out".

s activity is, at least in part, correlated with the reaction that it generates. If you have been using Aldara for 4 weeks with no effect and little local reaction, it is time to try something else such as freezing with liquid nitrogen. In answer to your specific questions however: 1. No, the location has little to do with response. Warts that have appeared more recently tend to respond better.

i heard that its about 2yrs most people will get rid of hpv its been a year since hpv visible warts im trying to threat them with warticon these 2 weeks i rlly wish to avoid other treatments..is it true that it can dissapear alone after 2years?? did warticon its only 2 weeks and i will leave some time for them to hopefully dissapear its so annoying..

I have recently been diagnosed with Genital warts. My GP started me on Aldara 5%. I have 2 starting and now i have about 15. Im getin depressed over this as i cant see any improvement and started a new relationship the same week i was diagnosed. I have of course talked to him about it and he has been checked out at the local STD clinic and is clear. Im so upset about this im not sleepin. Has anyone any advise as im considering getin them frozen off.

Hi Ive been diagnose with anal warts, not sure how long ive had them as never have had anal sex and just noticed a few strange bumps while showering, thought Id get it checked and gum clinic said I had small number of warts, now they said due to small size could be missed espically if you werent actively looking for them, my question is what are the chances I could pass on these anal warts to my gf with unprotected vaginal sex, in sence that she wouldnt have any real contact with the anus area

I did drastically change my diet though eating more vegetables and fruits and taking a daily vitamin and reducing alcohol intake and not smoking at all. I will continue using aldara and hopefully *fingers crossed* all the warts will go away :) im very thankful and hope i dont need surgery which the date was already set for. so for all of you that are in the same boat as i am in I would strongly recommend taking aldara its worth a try!

I used aldara with great success. However, I have read it has a higher success rate in females than males. Still, I do not know how credible this information exactly is. I found using Aldara to clear up the majority of warts, and then using a different treatment (such as cryo) to clear any remaining warts seemed to be effective. I used a combination of TCA and Aldara, and have been wart free for a month now (took 3 months to entirely clear).

i would stop the use and the redness/ swelling would go away and i would contine use and everything would be okay. recently i bought an aldara imitation cream, not the same brand name as aldara and have been experiencing more of a rash like reddish irritation where i use the cream. when i stop using it it will almost go away totaly but when i start back up using the cream the same rash in the same place will re appear. so im not sure if its the cheaper cream or if i have herpes.

I've been using Aldara for over two weeks now and am experiencing absolutely no side effects at all. Now I'm not disappointed believe me, but the one and only nice thing about side effects is that they indicate that whatever you are using is not "working" per-se but that it's doing *something*. Is this normal? Also, my doctor did a pretty deep freeze of the warts before sending me home with Aldara.

I have recently been using Aldara cream to try and eliminate my genital warts (HPV). Although the warts minimised in size after three months my doctor told me to stop using aldara because of the ineffectiveness and incredible sores and lesions that i endured whilst treatment. He reccomended me to a dermatologist for the treatment of the HPV.

I was just diagnosed with genital warts, probably the worst news i had ever heard only because the amount of partners I had been with was very slim and my fiance is the only person that I did not use a condom with....anyways, i have several questions that keep running through my head and need some answers to hold me over till i talk to my doctors next. Once my outbreak goes away with the medicine my doctor prescribed me (Aldara) will they keep coming back monthly?

while your boyfriend probably didn't get HPV from kissing you, he could have gotten the Epstein Barr Virus, which explains the sore throat. The Epstein Barr Virus is a very serious virus although doctors typically don't want to scare you and tell you this. It causes a really bad cancer...lymphoma!!! (i.e. Hodgkin's disease possibly). It doesn't absolutely cause this, but you have a VERY increased risk of developing lymphoma once you get the Epstein Barr Virus.

Aldara is used for several skin conditions. Your doctor will tell you where to apply Aldara cream, and how often and for how long to apply it for your condition. Aldara should be applied just before bedtime and left on the skin for 6-10 hours. If your skin condition reappears you need to talk to your doctor.

We show that isostearic acid, a major component of the vehicle, promotes inflammasome activation in cultured keratinocytes, and so may contribute to the observed effects of Aldara on murine skin. Aldara therefore stimulates at least two immune pathways independently, and both imiquimod and vehicle are required for a full inflammatory response. Although it remains to be tested, it is possible that imiquimod-independent effects also contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of Aldara.
