Aldara Medication Overview – Treats Genital Warts
Aldara (imiquimod) is a topical cream applied to surface of the skin and prescribed by doctors to treat external genital warts (EGW) caused by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) and actinic keratosis (AK). Most commonly, genital warts are treated using an embarrassing and painful liquid nitrogen freezing process, which freezes the warts on the skin and kills the HPV virus. Aldara offers renewed hope and a very effective and painless treatment option for the millions of people who suffer from genital warts and AK each and every day.
Actinic Keratosis Symptoms:
AK occurs most often in people who have fair skin and who have experienced prolonged exposure to sunlight. It can appear in spots as small as a speck or as big as an inch, usually looking like moles and taking on several different shapes and colors. They can be sensitive to touch, flaky, itching and sometimes they can bleed. If left untreated, AK has a 10-15 percent chance of becoming cancerous, which involves painful outpatient surgery to treat. Aldara cream offers these numerous sufferers with a very painless and a very effective way to treat their AK before resulting to traditional surgical methods.
How Should I Take Aldara?
Only take Aldara cream as directed by your doctor. Most often it will be directed for usage once per day, applied generously to the infected area and with two days of spacing in between applications weekly, for up to 16 weeks.

Always make sure to thoroughly wash your hands after applying Aldara cream.
