Need help managing genital warts or actinic keratosis? Aldara cream offers a topical treatment option. It contains imiquimod, an immune response modifier that stimulates your body’s natural defenses against these skin conditions. This means Aldara works by helping your immune system fight the virus or abnormal skin cells, leading to their clearance.
Application is straightforward: apply a thin layer to the affected area, as directed by your doctor, typically three times a week before bedtime. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly before and after application. Expect some mild side effects such as redness, itching, or swelling at the application site – these usually subside after treatment stops. Your doctor will advise on duration; treatment generally lasts several weeks.
Important Note: Aldara is a prescription medication. Always consult your physician before starting treatment to ensure it’s the right choice for you and to discuss potential side effects and interactions with other medications. They can provide personalized guidance and monitor your progress throughout the treatment process. Don’t hesitate to contact them if you have any questions or experience unexpected reactions.
