Description :-
Aldara cream is used to treat external warts around the genital and rectal areas called condyloma acuminatum. It is not used on warts inside the vagina, penis, or rectum. Aldara cream is also used to treat a skin condition of the face and scalp called actinic keratoses.
Aldara cream works by aiding the immune system to help protect the body from viruses that cause warts. Aldara cream does not fight the viruses that cause warts directly. It does help to relieve and control wart production.
What is Aldara cream ?
Because Aldara cream doesn't cure Human Papilloma Virus, the cause of genital and perianal warts, new warts may form during treatment.
Sex :-
Aldara cream may weaken condoms and diaphragms, so sexual contact should be avoided while the Aldara cream is on the skin. How Aldara cream affects the spread of genital warts to a partner is not known.
Pregnant Woman :-
A woman who is or becomes pregnant while using Aldara cream should notify her health care provider immediately.
How to Use Aldara cream :-
Do not use Aldara cream to treat internal (inside the vagina or anus) warts. Skin color changes to the application site have also been reported. Do not cover warts with bandages or other closed dressings. Avoid using overly large amounts of cream. A thin layer of Aldara cream that completely covers each wart is enough.
