Aldara before and after pictures
Common Questions and Answers about Aldara before and after pictures
aldara
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!
I have genital HPV and I was treating the warts using Aldara. Applied a lot of the cream Monday to the outside of lower labia minora. Wednesday the labia was hard, swollen and really sore. Friday the swelling was reduced and in it place were 2 sore lesions located just inside the labia.
I am now convinced it is herpes from looking at pictures online and reading the symptoms. I am also experiencing tingling down there too! I also have a decreased appetite although this could be from worry.
Trust me, I have had this for like 10 months and tried Aldara for nearly 6 months of it with only a few going away (which was probably coincidence). I just had them scrapped off the other day and it feels great not to worry about this anymore. Hit me up if you have any more questions - I have extensively researched mcv.
I am just confused how this irritation has lasted so long and how another spot has seemed to flare up after over 3 weeks off the drug. can aldara cause permanent penile psoriasis to begin??? i cant have sex or masturbate or anything in over a month... i cant live with this and im losing hope. this is was worse than any genital wart. Any signs of hope or getting better is much appreciated. thanks.
s been over a year and they keep coming back. So I asked for a prescription for Aldara which he gave me. After a few weeks of using just a little bit as instructed with no reaction or results I increased the dose. After a week of upping the dose my penis head swelled to the size of a tennis ball, no joke. I was too embarrassed to seek help.
At the very beginning of December I noticed one or two skin tag looking things, my GP said it could be GW and gave me aldara but said to go to a gyno to confirm. One week after using aldara the bumps disappeared, and I went to my GP a few more times the next few weeks and she too said everything looked clear. It took until late January to get into the gyno, she also assured me there was nothing there.
Hallo dear Dr.
I need some help please.
I have been diagnosed with hpv about two years ago by inspection even so, I have never had sex! except once orally and protected by condom so is it really possible !? And I'm circumcised since birth 25 years old healthy. anyway, I used Salicyclic acid once then it's gone although it shows back again two small tiny growths like wart in different sites from the original one about two months ago. One look cauliflower and one is like a blister.
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.
I am a 21 year uncircumsized hispanic male
I have been in a relationship with my current girlfriend for almost a year now about a month ago we both had unprotected sex again since we have been having unprotected sex in the past. I was a virgin before i had met her but she had been in many other relationships and promised me she was clean cuz her pap smear came back with no bad results.

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".
I was diagnosed with warts last year and after several cryptography sessions, the warts always came back after 3-4 months. Right now I'm on my 8 week of Aldara and even though I have seen a lot of side effects like redness and swelling, it hasn't done much on warts. I am still going to continue with the full course of 16 weeks but I'm not very hopeful about it. In my case, warts are very small and barely noticeable, nothing like the pictures on the internet that show severe cases.
He took my virginity and gave me genital warts. I was treated a year later with aldara. The three warts disappeared, and I genuinely thought they were gone for good.
After having sex again, these skin flaps appeared around the entrance of my vagina. I can't tell whether they are warts or skin flaps/remnants of my hymen.
I would post pictures but I don't know how?
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.
After a whole week of having this constant itch and burn and continuing to use the Aldara I went back to my Dr. He scared me so bad because he sai "these aren't the bumps you had before, how old is your boyfriend and do you only have sex with him?" I answered yes and that I knew. He did a culture and a blood test and told me to call him in a week because it looks like I have herpes. I started crying on the spot. He prescribed me Herpes meds a cream and pills.
Thanks!! I accidentally posted this to the community site instead of the expert forum but I appreciate the comment. Yeah I think I may get IgG test just to stop thinking about it but I was kind of surprised at what my gyn recommended. Also, my old boyfriend was much more promiscuous than i thought and given what I know about him, I'm sure he was having a lot of unprotected sex before and after we were together. Anyway, thanks!!
this doctor saw nothing abnormal but sent me to a dermatologist. He looked at them and said they were flat warts and used liquid nitrogen to burn some off and then i used the aldara for the rest of the time. throughout this treatment he said things looked good and the redness was because the cream was working. In February after 16 weeks of aldara i went back to the same dermatologist and he said everything was clear.
I have been treating anal warts for 8 weeks with aldara and after about 6 weeks i noticed they were slowly shrinking. While the visible warts are indeed shrinking (almost gone entirely), i know that there are internal ones in my anus that are still there, whether or not the aldara is helping them is undetermined.
The problem here to me is not entirely the warts, but after ending the aldara treatment i am experiencing redness around the areas of treatment and also other areas. The redness looks to be spreading like spots differing in size. I have had protected sex twice in the last couple of months and i am worried about STD's. Could this be a primary herpes outbreak or is it normal for the skin to react this way after ending aldara treatment?
you need to be seen and get a proper exam. we'd totally be guessing as to what is going on.
could this be something non-hpv related? indeed it could be which is why you should've sought out exam first and not self treated. At this point I'd stop the aldara and wait a full month before being seen so that any irritation and skin changes from the aldara have dissipated. You don't want to get a wrong diagnosis due to the changes that occur with its use.
