Aldara

Aldara is a prescription cream containing imiquimod, used to treat external genital and anal warts and certain skin conditions by stimulating the skin’s natural immune defenses.

It is commonly prescribed for external genital and anal warts caused by HPV, actinic keratosis (a precancerous skin condition), and superficial basal cell carcinoma.

Aldara stimulates the local immune system in the skin, prompting it to release immune signaling molecules such as interferon. These chemicals help eliminate virus-infected or abnormal cells.

The usual recommendation is to apply the cream three times per week and wash it off after 6 to 10 hours. Treatment may continue for up to 16 weeks depending on the condition being treated and patient response.

Some people may notice skin changes, including mild irritation, within a few weeks. These signs may indicate that the immune system is responding. Full effects can take several weeks to become apparent.

Skip the missed dose and continue with your next scheduled application. Do not apply extra cream to make up for a missed dose.

Side effects may include redness, swelling, flaking, or burning at the application site. These reactions are usually mild but may become intense. If severe, consult your healthcare provider.

Do not use on open wounds, mucous membranes (e.g., vaginal, rectal), or internally. Avoid use if you are allergic to imiquimod or if the skin is sunburned, irritated, or inflamed.

Since Aldara is a topical treatment, systemic interactions are unlikely, but you should always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, especially other topical treatments or immunomodulators.
