A member asked:

Is aldara (imiquimod) the best prescribe medication for early stages of genital warts. warts have beem appearing in thr last month or so.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Genital Warts: Treatment of genital warts should be guided by the preference of the patient, the available resources, and the experience of the health-care provider. No definitive evidence suggests that any of the available treatments are superior to any other and no single treatment is ideal for all patients or all warts.
