Need fast relief from genital warts? Aldara cream, containing imiquimod, offers a topical treatment option. It stimulates your immune system to fight the virus, leading to wart clearance. Results vary, with some experiencing complete clearance in 16 weeks, while others may require longer treatment or multiple courses.
Apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily before bed, then wash it off in the morning. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly before and after application. Common side effects include redness, itching, and burning at the application site – these are usually mild and temporary. More severe reactions are rare, but you should discontinue use and consult your doctor immediately if they occur.
Before starting treatment, discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Aldara may not be suitable for everyone, particularly pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. Also, be aware that full clearance isn’t guaranteed, and you might need additional therapies. This cream works best in conjunction with consistent adherence to the prescribed treatment regimen. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully for optimal results.
