A member asked:
My skin is very dry and burning so does that mean aldara (imiquimod) is working (hpv)?

Yes: Irritation from the Aldara (imiquimod) means that your body is mounting an immunological response. You need to have this evaluated by your physician to see if this an acceptable response or if your treatment plan needs adjustment.
