Aldara length of treatment

Common Questions and Answers about Aldara length of treatment

aldara

Avatar m tn When I say treatment I mean diagnosed. As in when your derm says you have it and you begin using aldara and or freezing etc. Common sense would seem to be when you contract however like you mentioned whitecat. So I have a few questions. I am married and still have sex with my wife, she has no symptoms. Do any of you still have sex? I wonder if sex prevents it from healing more quickly. Common sense seems like it would allow it to spread.
535760 tn?1213891166 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). Aldara has some discomfort associated with it, but I found it less painful than TCA (though much more itchy!).

If bleeding sores is a side effect of Aldara, why not just get the warts zapped or burnt, have the sore, let it heal and be done with it. That's my perspective. I've got one more month and the bumps are still there so I'm gonna stick it out and see what's up. I'd advise against Aldara and go with immediate destruction.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar m tn I have also tried the following prescription creams Salex, Retin-A Micro and Aldara. Aldara worked for a couple of weeks but then it started attacking parts of my skin that I did not have warts. I started getting blisters and fevers. I had to get these blisters treated because they were oozing. I went to urgent care since my other Doctors weren’t available. They prescribed Floucinonide which stopped the burning and the blistering.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed Aldara by my gynecologist for a recurrent bout of genital warts in the vulva area that I've also received TCA treatment for. I started applying the Aldara last week and must have applied too liberally and/or left on too long. After only 2 treatments had severe flu-like symptoms, swelling, burning, painful urination, and worsening pain. Had to call gynecologist over weekend and she recommended I come in today if pain had gotten worse.
Avatar f tn In the skin on the vagina opening (right in front where the urine comes out) suitable for the use of aldara? I had the wart there removed by podophilin once and thought aldara could help prevent it from coming back. 3. Would it help to stop a weekly podo treatment and let the warts develop then get electrocautery performed again? Perhaps last time was too early in the infectious stage. 4.What's the average time between infection and warts start clearing up? Thank you for your time.
Avatar n tn ve heard so many bad things about aldara and it has not done nothing to me after 3 weeks of treatment except leave my skin to scab and look red still leaving warts growing at a pretty rapid pace. I keep reading stuff on this wartrol but is this stuff really legit? I have yet to find one forum or one testiomonial of any doctor about this stuff??? Are they just doing massive advertising to sell a fake drug??? Can someone please tell me if this worked for them???
Avatar m tn I have read much about Aldara, as well as used it first hand. I've just read A LOT of information about the "apple cider vinegar method", including doctor's opinions on it and it doesn't seem best for long-term. Dr. HHH in the expert forums has even written some stuff about this treatment. I have no problems with holistic medicine, but don't think we need to neglect western medicine. I could say more, but I won't on this subject.
Avatar n tn s personal statement that Aldara and there was this one instance when a lady reported 10 week into the treatment that aldara only started working when she started scratching or scraping off the genital warts. So is it safe to assume that it's better to puncture the warts then apply aldara, or will that only make it worse?
Avatar m tn Just started a treatment of Aldara today. I always seem to have a few small genital warts on me. Does anyone know what I can expect. I am 31 and healthy in every way. I have been receiving cryotherapy for 3 years and they always come back. I was told that Aldara will help get my immune system involved in fighting the virus so I will have a better chance of losing the warts. Has anyone out there used thus treatment ?
Avatar m tn Hello, I had discoloration on my penis when I applied Aldara to an area that was irritated from treatment with vinegar. This left it with a lighter pigment than the rest of the penis. Will this go away on its own, and if not, is there anything I can do about it?
Avatar f tn Now my gyn is telling me that, in order to get rid of any other traces of hpv, we should apply Aldara cream on the cervix. I am having serious doubts about this procedure and I would be most grateful if you gave me a specialized advice: is it ok to use it? Can it actually heal hpv? Thank you in advance for your answers!
Avatar m tn after the aldara treatment stops,,,does the red skin return to normal?
Avatar n tn genital wart causing strains, then the average length of time for the body to clear the virus, even without treatment, is about nine months. For some people it is longer, for some, shorter. If you have one of the "high-risk" strains, it can take up to two years. This doesn't mean that low-risk or high-risk strains don't persist sometimes... they do, but rarely.
Avatar m tn There are very good antipsycotics to help ease the symptoms you have described. I have read a few posts where people have experienced your type of problems as well. Treatment for hepc is very very difficult for some and no two people are effected exactly the same. I hope in time you find a solution that benefits you long term.
Avatar m tn I guess they were just not clear on the proper application process and I figures that applying aldara everywhere would get rid of any warts I may not be able to see yet. So only apply it to visible warts?
Avatar m tn Aldara makes the skin raw and in my opinion will likely make it more susceptible to transdermal infection. My opinion is also that you should just stop Aldara treatment and try electrocautery or even natural remedies (which have worked for me) Hope this helps!
Avatar m tn There is no proof that it is effective and some people here have said that this sort of self treatment has caused quite a bit of pain. Talk to the doctor or nurse at planned parenthood about other options that would be more affordable.
Avatar n tn im doing it when i get back to the states...ive gone the aldara treatment twice now and ive had a horrible last 4 months, side affects and warts still present. cyro them *******!
Avatar m tn What are the chances of Genital warts returning after successfully using aldara. I have read that since it is an immune booster that it generally has a very lo recurrence rate but i would like to know if my lifestyle has any influence on that. I am a 24 yr old male who stays in very good shape and eats very healthy. I hardly drink alcohol but i occasionally smoke marijuana and would like to know if that has an adverse effect on my situation.
Avatar m tn s quite possible that the freezing took care of everything and the aldara was a precautionary back up treatment. I only have experience with aldara through experiments here at work.
Avatar n tn ve had Genital Warts going on about 4 years now. My first treatment was Aldara, with insurance I was paying 40 dollars every month for the treatment. I did that for 3 months and not even one wart disappeared, I actually had more. Then the doc put me under and burned the entire outside of my vagina, it hurt like hell and I had to fill the bath tub with water every time I peed so I could pee and then hop in some cool water to sooth the burning feeling. It took about two weeks to heal.
Avatar n tn My son has resisted having them burned or frozen off because of potential scarring... how did you decide which treatment to choose?
Avatar f tn When I had my first Trichloric Acid treatment, my gyno treated a couple areas in the crease of my thigh, this one treatment did not get rid of the lesions, but on my next visit she did not treat them, saying she thought it was just skin tags(which was a relief to me because they had been there for several years and that is what I always thought they were).
