aldara
I AM 27 YEAR OLD. I WAS SEXUALLY ACTIVE WITH PROSTITUTES FROM 2010 TO 2013. IN 2012 I FOUND SOME MUSCULLUM ON MY GROIN AREA WHICH CLEARED OF WITHIN 30 DAYS. IN SEP 2013 I FOUND SOME WARTS ON MY PENIS SHAFT. I USED SALICYLIC ACID (HALOX S) BUT IT DID NOT HELPED.MY HIV TEST IS NEGATIVE AND VDRL IS ALSO NEGATIVE. I HAD USED IMIQUIMOD FOR 25 DAYS BUT STILL WARTS ARE THERE.
WILL THEY CLEAR, WHAT WILL BE THE SYMTOM OF THERE CLEARING,
WHAT TEST SHALL I GO FOR TO KNOW WHAT TYPE OF HPV I HAD.
Thank you very much for the reply, Dr. Kaur. Thank you for mentioning that I should put Neosporin on it, as I wasn't sure if I was supposed to put any other ointments on the area while the imiquimod was "in my system" or however you would phrase it.
In the meantime I'm going to take a few extra days off of the imiquimod as opposed to putting it on every other day and hopefully I'll notice some results.
Thanks again.
Surprisingly, inflammasome activation, keratinocyte death and interleukin 1 release also occur in response to the vehicle cream in the absence of imiquimod. We show that isostearic acid, a major component of the vehicle, promotes inflammasome activation in cultured keratinocytes, and so may contribute to the observed effects of Aldara on murine skin.
Can anyone describe their experiences with Imiquimod? I am on the 3.75% cream which my doctor has told me to use every other day for a month. In the first 2 weeks, nothing happened, only just a couple days ago I noticed a very slight indication that the medication might be working, but I'm still not sure. I have about 20-30 very small warts, and notice 2 or 3 of them showing a bit of redness and drying up a bit. Still not sure if this is due to the medication.
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).
A couple of weeks ago i discovered warts on my genital area at the base of my penis and was diagnosed formally by my dr. I was prescribed imiquimod to be applied 3 days a week but heard apple cider vinegar does a great job of clearing warts. Is it a good idea to apply the imiquimod mon,wed, fri night and apple cider vinegar tues, thurs, saturday nights? Anyone tried this or have any results from either one they would share?
After only about 2 weeks of usage almost all symptoms of the warts were gone however I now have perianal psoriasis in its place. That is one of the side-effects of imiquimod and it mainly strikes people whom are genetically prone to having psoriasis. 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....
Ofcourse after I have made several researches, talked with a few people, and seen the doctor, I had contracted HPV in the anus area. The doctor prescribed me Aldara which is a cream to treat genital warts. I was told to apply it 3 times a week, and Ive been doing it so, until a week ago when I researched all about Aldara and it says to do it twice a week. I am currently in week 8. So The warts are gone.. they were gone on week 4, but now the issue is this.
8,,9 In addition to monocytes, keratinocytes in skin were stimulated to produce cytokines. Imiquimod upregulated IL-6 and IL-8 in vitro,3 while resiquimod induced mRNA for IL-1α, IL-8, TNF-α and transiently IFN-α.10
Peripheral blood mononuclear cell cytokine induction by imiquimod in vivo required tyrosine and protein kinase C activity, was independent of cellular protein synthesis and was mediated via the transcription factors NFκB and α4F1.
thanks this is interesting, hope they will make some trials to find dose and best delivery method since it is a cheap approved drug already
Thanks for the reply. After a little internet searching, I did happen to track down one other story of someone having blood in their semen as a result of using imiquimod, so I'm hoping that cream just caused some inflammation that led to the bleeding. But I'll certainly be keeping an eye out!
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
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.
is cryoablation available in india?......
I was referred to a gynecologist who suggested trying imiquimod. I decided to try tea tree oil, before trying imiquimod. The tea tree seemed to increase the itch, so I filled the imiquimod. I've since tried one application, I should be applying again this evening, but this point I am so stressed about the whole ordeal, I am thinking I should just get them surgically removed. They are now around my vaginal area, labia up to my anus (I apologize for being graffic...
Hi, I am in my mid 30s and have always had hand warts as a kid (5-10 total on both hands).. They cleared up in my late teens and had returned again in my late 20s, cleared up a second time, came back a few years ago, cleared and now are back again... Its always 5-10 total that appear and then clear up.. Is there any reason in particular this could be happening? Are common hand warts in fact at all common in adults? thanks for looking!
