How do i make aldara (imiquimod) more effective? not sure if it's working.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep at it: Aldara (imiquimod) cream is a cream that helps the immune system clear certain conditions: indicated for the topical treatment of actinic keratoses on the face, basal cell cancer, and gential warts from hpv. It is by perscription only. It may take several weeks for lesions to clear. Use as directed and keep at it. Example, genital warts may take 8-12weeks to clear. It's worth the wait.
