A member asked:

How effective is aldara (imiquimod) cream to cure my warts?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Another possibility: No guarantee it will work better than anything else. Can try it other topical methods are ineffective. Expensive.

Thank

Aldara (imiquimod) cream: Quite effective, usually about 80% of time. However it may take 3 months or so and is expensive. There are numerous other treatments available for foot warts- see your local podiatrist!
