Common Questions and Answers about Aldara sores

aldara

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 n tn The area affected is between my scrotum and inner thigh crease. In the matter of a night i got redness and sores. Ive stopped using it and wash daily. It doesnt help that its right where my jeans and underwear ride. Any help in relief?
Avatar m tn it is now very sensitive and kind of yellow with some sores. Should I be concerned that there is an infection or should I continue to apply this? I may not receive the results until next week and will have to make it through the weekend.
Avatar n tn I had them frozen off to only return within a month or two. So I decided to try the prescription drug Aldara on the advice of a dermatologist after he tried applying some similar acting agent product in the office with limited results after 5 weekly visits. Within 1 week of treatment my genitals became extremely sensitive and red, I also experienced herpes like outbreaks on my lips and a general feeling of tiredness and malaise.
Avatar n tn I'd still say it could be a reaction to the Aldara, and how you are using it. You will just need to wait and see what the test results say.

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 f tn I have been using Aldara cream for two weeks now, and surprisingly my warts are gone. But I now notice that the area where the warts used to be is very red. I don't know if that is supposed to happen or not but should I continue using the cream? I don't want to kill anymore skin cells then I have to..
Avatar n tn Hi, I had genital warts back in 2002 (3-4 small ones). The doctor used the nitro gun and froze them but he missed one. It was a very small one, hardly visible, so I didn't do much about it. I went to the doctor again 2 months ago and he suggested to use Aldara on it because he didn't keep a nitro gun. I had been using it for about 2 months when I developed this sore on my penis, size of a quater, but not round. There were no blisters but just a sore as if the skin had been peeled off.
Avatar f tn Grace, I haven't gone to my Gyne last Tuesday but I went to my GP last thursday, I was wrong, I thought it was rash, but it just instantly occurred as painful sores. I had it Monday, it was gone Tuesday. I told my GP bout that sores, she said it's herpes, when she looked inside my vagina, I have 2 ulcers, 1 big and 1 small which are painless, she said maybe it's syphilis. She didn't swab on anything. If I will get tested, I need to pay more for herpes and syphilis test.
Avatar f tn I have 4 growths 2 larger and 2 smaller, she ruled out Herpes and was left believing it was either Molluscum or Gential Warts. She prescribed Aldara to me and I have been using it for the past 3 weeks which have made the bumps much smaller. I was also tested for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia, both tested negative. Sround the same time I had a medium to light grayish discharge that had a fishy odor especially after I showered. I've had no pain in this time.
Avatar n tn It is very very common for Aldara to cause sores in the genital area, probably 80% of users have some skin abrasions. Please work out a way to get a herpes western blot to confirm your HSV 2 antibody test. It may well not be real. You can either order a test kit directly from the University of Washington and have it drawn by your own doctor or we can order it for you at a local lab in your area through our clinic. We are in Portland, OR. Westover Heights Clinic.
Avatar f tn I have had the irritation for a little over the week and have had no blisters or open sores, and being a person who has had cold sores on my lips since childhood i know how quickly they can errupt and how uncomfortable/painful they can be. So I am hoping my irritation/discharge is just a BV infection with irritation from the Aldara cream I have been using.
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 n tn But from the time I noticed the 7 red areas (April 3), rubbed them and they became open wounds, and they disappeared was about 10-12 days. I have also been using aldara for a genital wart on my scrotum. I placed the whole packet on the wart because it didn't seem to be doing anything. I used aldara for about 4 days straight near the time of the outbreak. The red areas on my scrotum were nowhere near where I put the aldara though.
Avatar f tn I'm a 36 year old Indian American female living in NYC who has not had sex for the last three years. About a year ago, I was diagnosed with a mild case of genital warts-10 or so (likely from my last partner from three years ago but unsure). I had unprotected sex with him a couple of times during our relationship and later I found out he was rather promiscuous (now I regret this).
Avatar m tn ) blisters (a total of two only, one inch apart from each other) when the area is wet while showering (still red when it is dry), continued to develop to visible open sores (the similar two sores), and now it is healing. It usually looks like an open sore as it is consistently having friction against my underwear. The feeling is like having a scraped knee, but having no chance to heal due to consistent friction with clothing. I was negative for herpes as I took a full STD test back in March.
4865450 tn?1361294533 herpes simplex 2 and 1 and my entire vagina was burned with Aldara Cream, my doctor aply Aldara on my cervix, it cure the cervix but destroy my vulva :((
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar m tn I started to get these red sores on the head of my penis about 3 months ago. They seem to be spreading slowly. I have been to the doctor three times. I don't remember what I was prescribed the first time but the second visit I was prescribed a yeast infection cream that didn't work and now I have been using an expensive cream called (Aldara 5%). I am using it as prescribed, 3 times a week. I have applied it for 3 weeks now and I see no results.
Avatar f tn t seem to be tolerating the aldara. Aldara can take several months to work as it is, if it even works. I don't think you are going to be tolerating this much pain for that long by continued use of it.
601156 tn?1229285825 At the same time I was using aldara cream, so the doctor passed it off as an aldara cream reaction- but my herpes blood test DID come back negative. However I have quit using the aldara cream, and the itching has come back on its own. Although there are no visible sores, for a while there was quite a bit of itching and irritation, and at times the itching would be quite intense.
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 m tn I went there again and started treating the warts with Aldara cream. The thing is that now my skin is starting to ulcerate and the warts don't seem to be disappearing. My doctor said i should wait one week and restart the treatment. Will these sores go away easily?
Avatar m tn hello, my concern is my doctor told me i had herpes about a year ago after i asked him to check something out, he went ahead and burned the sores off with liquid nitrogen, but they came back in the same place about a week later, i have done this twice since then only to have them return about a week later both times, the thing im wondering is why wont they go away and it doesnt seem normal that they are not sore or itchy and have been there for over a year now and just wont go away no matter how
Avatar m tn anyway, the doctor diagnosed these bumps as genital wart, he froze them, gave me aldara cream. I left using this cream after feeling itching, burning and redness between my scrotum and my thighs two sides (after using it for 1 month). After stopping using aldara these symptoms disappeared. Hiv and syphilis tests were negative , i have not tested HSV1 or 2. i got new 7 bumps (1 on my shaft just under the head, 3 same previous and 3 grouped on my butt).
