Avatar n tn It is known that an overactive immune system can trigger a site of psoriasis, and imiquimod invokes an immune response to have cytotoxins destroy skin cells. So now.... retinoid treatments are not helping, and the only other main treatment for psoriasis are corticosteroids which if I'm not mistaken are immunosuppressants lol..... are they not? If I start using those then HPV will form new warts.... on the other hand, it would be a neat experiment....
Avatar m tn I applied this cream for 3 times a day, and after 6 days the warts fell off naturally. I had tried Imiquimod, Aldara and some other creams for a while without seeing improvements. My girlfriend used Imiquimod and got positive results. Maybe, I was not so lucky.
Avatar m tn Dear doctors , I have a small genital wart on my foreskin and I started to use imiquimod cream recently . The instruction says that I should use the imiquimod cream during bedtime . However , I have more erections during sleep (than day time ), the imiquimod cream might be wiped off by the underwear when I have an erection. In this case , Can I use imiquimod during the day instead of bedtime ?

Avatar n tn Hello, I have posted twice in the past and I sincerely appreciate the help with my questions. I'm writing about an exposure I had last night that I feel bad about. I met a girl in a bar and we went back to my place. She is an acquaintance of my friend but I barely know her. She was on top of me for about 20 minutes with only her panties on. I was completely naked and she was rubbing vigorously against my penis.
Avatar m tn So if you want to speed up your hair growth and thickness you should limit the intake of fat and salts. Selenium, zinc and magnesium are some of the minerals that your hair needs and also amino acids and vitamin E will help in growing hairs. You can regularly massage scalp with oil, use protein conditioner to avoid loss and help growing, prevent exposure in hot sun etc.
Avatar m tn 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 Hello, Imiquimod can cause skin redness and fungal infection but it is less likely to cause blood in semen or hematospermia. It can occur due to many conditions such as infections, swellings (inflammations), cysts, stones & other obstructive lesions, and benign or non-benign tumors of the organs of the genitourinary system (involving the bladder, urethra, the testicles, the seminal vesicles, the epididymis, the prostate gland etc).
Avatar m tn s sebaceous which is not serious but he asked me to do a hpv test. However, the test showed I have the hpv 52 and hpv 59. The doctor gave me Imiquimod and asked me to go back three months later. Here is my question. 1, I read your posts and found hpv is quite common among adults. So do I need to worry about it? And will hpv 52 and 59 cause warts? 2, Is it useful for me to use Imiquimod with no genital warts? Or does Imiquimod useful to help me clear the hpv virus in three months?
Avatar m tn no mine just increased except when using imiquimod, platlets are part of immune response and lowers when intf increases but they lower on sevre fibrosis too.
Avatar m tn g., Monday, Wednesday, and Friday or Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday). Imiquimod cream should be left on the skin for 6 to 10 hours. Continue using imiquimod until all of the warts are healed, i found this on a website. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
Avatar m tn Prescribed ofloxacin, desonide and clindamycin with no results. Currently halfway through doxycline two week course and showing no real changes. The redness on top of penis tip changes from bright red when erect to mildy red when relaxed. There is a bright red spot that is about 1mm in size that the redness on tip seems to emanate from. Doctors don't think much of the redness although it is not "normal" because it was not there before. Could this be HPV?
Avatar m tn I did a blood test, HSV 1 + 2 antibodies, IGM and IGG. The IGM came bak positive, and the IGG came back negative, suggesting acute or recent infection. I read that only a swab performed on a recent outbreak lesion would be able to establish which type of herpes I have. But by the time I did the blood test, the herpes lesions had already disappeared.
Avatar m tn taking 500mg paracetamol before imiquimod and 500mg next day worked, no fever or nausea (imiquimod takes 24hrs to make intf usually it is not right after you take it) the only sides that persisted mild muscles pains and strong lowering of vision
Avatar m tn Antiviral activity was evaluated by quantifying HBeAg and HBsAg secretion (ELISA), HBV RNA (qRT-PCR) and total intracellular HBV DNA and cccDNA (qPCR), and toxicity measured by MTS assay and ApoB ELISA. Cytokine production was evaluated by ELISA 24 hours (h) post-stimulation.
Avatar f tn The warts were surgically removed and the area treated with imiquimod. There were no further warts and he visited his proctologist a couple more times and all is ok In October 2014 he was diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma stage 2. He was treated with 4 rounds of chemo (etoposide, Adriamycin, vinecristyn, citoxan and bleomycin). Thank god he is in remission and is a healthy guy today. Do we still have to worry about HPV present in his body?
Avatar f tn Are skin tags resistant to imiquimod cream? Is it possible it is not HPV but in fact just a skin tag and the dermatologist was too quick to diagnose? Please help. Thank you.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with a precancerous lesion on my face that is a light pink color close to my mouth. The doctor performed a light cryosurgery and told me it would blister, scab and heal to remove the spot. I had the procedure done on Monday with a small blister forming. By Thursday of that week it had never scabbed and looked the same as it did before I had the procedure done.
Avatar f tn warts are due to HPV virus, they develop and dont clear or reappear from time to time in people with damaged immune system due to unhealthy diet and life styles it is treated by imiquimod an interferon inducer cream, while doing imiquimod vitamin c by liposoms or injection (not normal vit c which is not absorbed by the stomach, only 10-16% gets absorbed by stomach), vitamin d3, good diet of fresh vegetables only, very little meat, sugars, fats, good sleep 8hrs minimum
Avatar f tn I'm 47 and was recently diagnosed with genital warts. I probably had the first one nearly two years ago,I was also going through menopause and honestly did not think much about it. Last January however I noticed more appearing. I never for a moment even thought they were warts until I saw an episode of Girls and the subject was genital warts..I began to panic and scheduled an appt with my nurse practitioner.
Avatar n tn However, ive developed a ridiculous rash around the application site. which is extremely red and irritated. The rash looks almost like if i ran really fast and slid my knee on a rug, except its around the base of my penis. Its sometimes itchy and i feel as if at sometimes its developing a particular scab. will this redness ever go away? at the moment i explained this to my dermatologist and she perscribed me pramasone for the itching... is this supposed to get rid of the redness?
Avatar f tn ve been with my sex partner for two years he has now started to form genital warts and he accused me of sleeping with someone else when neither of us have been with anybody else i mean it's been two years.
