Common Questions and Answers about Aldara topical
aldara
I have been using aldara for about a month on my genital warts and have had no burning or tenderness that I have heard people talk about on these forums. It has been working great and I am noticing my warts are starting to shrink. The other morning after using my aldara cream overnight I noticed a lump under my skin where I applied some aldara. It is very tender to touch and very noticeable.
t going to work for me? Wondering if Podofilox or the stronger 5% Aldara cream would have been a better choice.

Back story- I have been to 1 derm and 1 general doc. general doc couldnt tell me what this is; and derm said it's possibly hpv, and froze the area which did NOTHING at all except hurt. She then prescribed me aldara cream just incase it's warts (i've used aldara 3-4 times so far and nothing seems to be happening). The area basically flattens when stretched, and the bumps are not rough to the touch- more like smooth raised surfaces..
Hello, I've had genital warts since 2010, though I tested negative for HPV. I had a large breakout of them all over the labia and anal area. The doctor froze them and I went back for two additional treatments. Though, once those were gone, others have continued to pop up every month or so since then. I am currently never without them. What I would like to know is, is there any treatment for these aside from topical acid or freezing?
but since yours are internal, normal treatments like Aldara or other HPV topical treatments may be ineffective. The best thing to do would be to schedule an appointment with a proctologist and request for cryo, laser, or leep therapy to remove them. After that, you'll need to have annual anal pap smears to ensure that the cells in your anus do not undergo dysplasia...thus putting you at risk for anal cancer.
Have any of you ever used Aldara 5% cream? My dermatologist suggested it to determine if my mole was just an irritation or a skin cancer. After reading the package insert and doing some research online I was to scared to try it. If it is recommended to me again I am wondering if I should use it.
Thanks!
After stupidly trying to treat it myself for a couple of months, I finally went to a dermatologist and was prescribed Aldara topical cream to treat them. My lesions are different from the typical HPV warts in that they take the form of red/purplish papules that form mosaic patterns. This is caused by HPV type 16 - a high risk form. The lesions are classified as bowenoid papulosis - a rare form of HPV that is pre-cancerous -- however, in almost all cases it stays benign.
t genital warts because of the way they looked and told me that it looks like Molluscum Contagiosum virus. She even perscribed me a topical ointment called Aldara to use every other day on the spots. It's been a little over a month and there is no improvement. I am so self conscious about these bumps and they're now spreading down my upper thighs. I'm going to the bahamas in December and I want to be able to wear a swim suit on the beach.
I have molluscum on my genitals and received cryotherapy and aldara cream... where the cryotherapy took place it looks like the white head is coming out of the skin like its being pushed upward to fall out... it looks like i can take the white head out with tweezers... is this a good idea or really dumb?
there are several options, the least expensive is to try a topical solution like Podofilox. Supposedly it's available at Walgreens drug stores without a prescription. I bought an identical product for a friend in Mexico for $6. Aldara prescription cream for warts is ridiculously expensive, so unless you can get it at a huge discount try Podofilox first. There are other options like freezing them off, etc., but that requires a doctor visit.
I have these very small red bumps around my vestibule. They are just a few of them and they aren't symmetrically distributed. I wouldn't even notice them if they weren't so painful to touch, which makes sex impossible. I have been to several doctors and their opinions are controversial, the one says "Yes, they are warts.
Please don't worry, I used to have warts on my butts, and my doctor gave me Aldara cream 5% (imiquimod) and it went away within two weeks.
Please ask you doctor for a prescription.
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.
It is best to consult your dermatologist and have a frank discussion. You may discuss if taking antiallergics and topical steroids may be helpful for your eczema. Do keep us posted on your health. I sincerely hope it helps.
Take care and regards!
nope. im guessing you might have used the cream called aldara.. theres no way of getting the color back..
What you describe sounds in location as though it could be folliculitis although molluscum is a possibility as well. Molluscum might well respond to Aldara or topical acid wart treatment but would be likely to recur. The same is true for folliculitis. Either of these tend to recur and occasionally can crop up in different locations. They really sound little like warts at all.
It is treated like chronic eczema by decreasing water and soap contact, and applying emollients. Topical steroids are almost always needed to control the symptoms. You can use mild steroid cream like Dermacort and if the symptoms persist then high potency steroids and oral steroids may be needed.
My sincere advice would be to consult a dermatologist to get the diagnosis confirmed.
several times and tried many treatments such as two boxes (24 sachets) of (Aldara 5% Cream) using it on MWF with no improvments. I also tried Locacid Solution and sometimes electirc burning, drinking Zinc,etc.. and there was no improvments as well..
An advice would be highly appreciated!

You can put some cream/gel on there called Aldara or something like that which is supposed to be pretty thorough. There is also this condylox gel and perhaps more ways as well but that's the major ones. After you receive treatment, you can ask for an application of podophyllin which is used to disrupt unseen hpv in topical skin cells which is where the virus resides.
You must remember, or know, that treating your genital warts won't mean they are gone forever.
I went to the doctor and he said it is irritated and gave me Triamcinolone Acetonide Topical. Its a steroid and antifungal cream. Hasnt been so effective though.
I also used Aldara on the same spot but that was over 2 months ago.
The current symptoms have been present for almost 2 weeks now.
I tried for 4 years before any results. I tried Aldara treatments over and over again. I tried cutting them off with knife. I tried Veregen and even Aldara & Veregen at the same time. Even burning them off first with over the counter wart remover. The warts would go away but come back. I then changed my diet and started exercising daily. I ate super healthy and took Aloe Vera & Bee Propolis and Tagamet just once daily.
I just was wondering if there were any types of topical creams and such that I might be able to use to speed up the healing process and make these red spots look less shocking.
Also, once these things heal over, is it likely that they will leave a permanent scar? Thanks all.
