Avatar f tn Just wanted to post an update on my daughter. She had quite a bit of trouble with the skin graft but eventually it all healed. She developed a keyloid and has been treated for it several times. Aestethically she's not happy, but I think she looks great. However, she was just diagnosed with Infiltrative basal cell carcinoma on the top of her nose (on bone between the eyes). I don't really understand what that is and when I google it, the info I get goes to malenoma?
Avatar n tn The rash does not seem to be spreading but it is unnerving knowing that located inside it was a BCC. Have you ever seen a BCC accompanied by a secondary rash? 2) Will the presence of the rash effect the Moh’s surgery? 3) Assuming they are truly unrelated what is the typical courses of treatment for a rash like this? I assume the Triamcinlone Acetonide is only a temporary solution?
Avatar f tn I was so glad about this because all this time I understood and thought it was BCC, because of the paper she gave me with instructions on how to treat BCC, how to use the cream, and info on what to expect during the treatment. I asked about the possible relation between Riba/interferon treatment and BCC, she said there is no evidence to support it. BUT with such harsh drugs as we are taking, our immune system goes crazy during treatment, and basically anything is possible.
Avatar f tn Is it possible to still be pregnant with low bcc levels? I am 9 weeks bled in week 6 .
Avatar m tn I also developed a basal cell lesion on my right cheek starting with a small area 10 years or more ago. The BCC slowly grew until it became about 6 MM in diameter with a surprisingly deep pit that would fill in with a crusty material. I finally decided I needed to have it removed, but before the dermatologist would consider that, he put me on a regime of Efudex. I survived the Efudex treatment with relatively minimum trauma and my AK is cleared up.
Avatar f tn She told me that this cream will not harm healthy skin or tissue, it will only burn the BCC, so to see if the second lesion was also BCC I put cream on it and next day I had some burning, and it has gradually formed a scab. I made an appointment with the dermatologist as soon as I saw the new lesion, and I am seeing her tomorrow. I am sure she will prescribe more cream to continue treating it and maybe do another biopsy. Thanks for your comment.
Avatar f tn Im not sure if I should go to the er for this but this is how ive been feeling all day, I woke up and I almost puked, then I went to bcc walking cus it wasnt cold and I almost fainted and my chest started hurting bad, so I came back home con cold sweat and a headache
Avatar f tn re-read what i just wrote
Avatar m tn and after 2 weeks use i have had good results so far so if i were you i would go see your dermatologist if he recomends surgery set the date for about 1 1/2 months away and get them to prescribe you aldara in the meantime. use aldara and within 4 weeks if the warts have not reduced in size or started to clear then just go in for surgery.
535760 tn?1213891166 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).
Avatar n tn I have had genital warts for 5 years now and ive been using aldara for quite some time. aldara seems to work pretty well for the most part. while using aldara frequeantly i would experience some side effects like some pain or swelling after using it for a long period of time. i would stop the use and the redness/ swelling would go away and i would contine use and everything would be okay.
Avatar f tn That's odd the ur 11 weeks and due on the 3Rd bcc I'm 12 weeks and I'm not due till the 30th I wonder y?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn What? are you applying Aldara on entire genital area? aldara is to be applied on the warts only and not the surrounding area... did a doctor diagnose you for genital warts and prescribed Aldara for you? If not so, please see a dermatologist and first get a correct diagnoses and talk to him about application of this cream... a mild irritation, soreness and itching is part of the healing process with this cream...
Avatar m tn dont use aldara. I think ACV even does better than aldara although some people here would disagree with my opinion. You can get mini surgery like electrocauterization, cryotherapy, or use podofin and its variants. These three, afaik, are better than anything else to treat warts.
Avatar m tn hi there i have recently been using aldara cream for my anal warts (HPV) I have used it twice so far friday and monday. And today (tuesday) i have been feeling muscle pain, and i guess some kind of fever i feel cold or hot at various times of the day but i can function... but during the weekend i did play soccer and hockey and did sweat a lot and ran a lot.
Avatar m tn 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!
Avatar f tn t irritated at all. This could very easily be a BCC which does not worry me too much because they are pretty curable. The part that has me really worried is that they took a biopsy of a small pink growth that indented when she pushed on it. My mother has had this growth since last fall and has not gotten bigger, changed shape, or changed color. We get the biopsy results in about a week. I've been worried sick thinking that that bump or patch could be nodular melanoma or melanoma.
Avatar n tn Me and my boyfriend are ttc we been trying consenstenly for 2 years. And I've been on clomid about 5 times taking pre natal vitiums and last we did at home insemunation. Still nothing the only thing we haven't done Was IVF and IUI bcc it's very costly. Does anyone have any idea what to do next.
Avatar n tn Hi. I used Aldara for two weeks and my warts went away. I didn't have to scratch or scrape. I don't think you should puncture them at all. The cream caused some severe skin reactions for me (and it was on my bum :( ) so I stopped using it two weeks in for about a week and then when I went to start applying the cream again the warts were gone.
Avatar n tn I went to the doctor, and they gave me Aldara for HPV. This was in January. Since then, I have had the worst yeast infections, and while one bump is slowly decreasing in size (and has hardened and turned quite red in the process), none of the others are changing size at all, and I am getting more tiny little white bumps within a few inches of the initial three bumps I had. I am pretty sure it is HPV, but it seems to be geting worse. I have been tested recently for HIV, and that was negative...
Avatar m tn I applied aldara (imiquimod) to the shaft of the penis in an attempt to get rid of what I presumed were penile warts. About a week after use, I developed well localised red and swollen skin on the head of the penis which then ulcertated and has been slow to heal. I have not been herpes positive before and dont think I have had recent contact with any herpes positive partners.
Avatar n tn Im a 19 year old male and i was diagnosed with Molluscum Contagiosum about 5 months ago on my genitals. I used Aldara cream which got rid of most of them and im basically clear of them however now on the shaft of my penis there is a spot where the skin is very raw looking. i put polysporin on it to help it heal. I was just wondering if anyone knew if this was normal after having Molluscum. Thanks for your time.
Avatar f tn However the warts that were still present in the inside of my vagina were treated at the obgyn with Trichloracetic acid because the aldara was not working for me at all.
