Question 9

why new genital warts may develop while applying aldara cream? i have seen new genital warts since i started applying aldara cream.

Accepted Answer

Emergence pattern: When you have genital warts you may find that several tissue areas will show lesions that emerge on their own time line. The chemical creams applied to kill the emerging warts is not like an antibiotic you take by mouth to kill a bacteria. It just helps kill the warts as they emerge. Other tissues where the virus is already inside the cells will form a wart on its own timeline.

Accepted Answer

Genital warts: If there is no visible bump where the warts was, and no new bumps, it is unlikely that you still have genital warts. But if you remain in doubt, see a doctor for professional examination.
