aldara

Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn My girlfriend used Imiquimod and got positive results. Maybe, I was not so lucky.
Avatar m tn stefeno, it is their on net that imiquimod is an tlr7 receptor same as gs9620 which has shown good result in current hepb trials. but gs9620 are still on trial.may be we can benefitted from imiquimod so we can try it. so please tell us about its dosing and method of intake and about its availability. you tried for 7 days ,in gs9620 trial they tried 15 doses in one month in first part of treatment. dose prolong dosing of imiquimod may help more?
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 m tn The cytokines IP-10 and/or IL-6 were secreted by both PHH and dHepaRG 24h after stimulation with TLR1/2, TLR3, TLR4, TLR5, TLR2/6, RIG-I/MDA5, and AIM2 agonists, which correlated with a strong and dose-dependent antiviral effect in the absence of toxicity. The maximal antiviral effect was induced by Pam3CSK4 (i.e. TLR1/2-L), which induced sustained reduction in all viral parameters, including levels of cccDNA.
Avatar n tn Ive been on aldara (imiquimod) 5% for approximately 2 months now. I cant notice if im seeing any improvement with my genital warts. 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?
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 n tn (I already have oral HSV1) 2) I have HPV with a small genital wart that I am treating with Imiquimod cream but has not yet gone away (the wart is on the other side of my penis, not the part of the penis that rubbed against her as I laid on my back, so I am sure the wart did not touch her) What is her risk of contracting genital warts from me??? 3) I would like to continue applying the Imiquimod cream, but I also want to monitor my penis over the next 14 days for any signs of herpes.
Avatar m tn ec_id=NCOMMS-20130305 Aldara is a cream used for topical treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer, and is thought to act through stimulation of anti-tumour immunity. The active ingredient, imiquimod, has been shown to stimulate toll-like receptor 7. Aldara also induces psoriasis-like lesions when applied to naive murine skin, and as such is used as a mouse model for psoriasis. Here we find that in naive murine skin, Aldara induces inflammation largely independently of toll-like receptor 7.
Avatar m tn yes imiquimod as therapy is out of question for now and results have been very limited, i guess the problem is that imiquimod should be continued daily as 12.5mg suppository or higher but sides are absolutely not tollerable (fatigue, blured vision, creatinine increase, heavy general inflmmation, hair loss and change from straight to curly), at least for me, and this cannot be done.
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 n tn I was prescribed Aldara (imiquimod) to get rid of a few perianal HPV warts since cryotherapy was only making it worse. 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.
Avatar m tn 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? 3, I also have an ulcers on my penis a week ago which can be seen when it's wet (it become white), and it disappear after 5 days. I kind of thought it's because of the allergy of Imiquimod. But does herpes appear 3 months after the sex?
Avatar m tn If you are using imiquimod cream to treat genital and anal warts, you will probably apply it once a day for 3 days a week (e.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 f tn t shown any signs of any type of growth near or on her genitals. The Dr. prescribed me imiquimod cream which I have used as directed for the past two weeks and I have not seen any change whatsoever. 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 We tried Benzoil peroxide, neosporin and lotrimin with no results. We like to exchange back rubs but its not fun to feel all the bumps and the itching is bothersome. We have a medium distance photo and some pics taken with a digital microscope. It looks like the hair follicles are the location of the problem. Thanks in advance for any ideas. ~Cam.
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
