Hurt but seemed to keep the warts at bay.

Horrible side effects burning stinging sores numbness itching runny noseeyes sore joints... that bring me to tears when using it but it worked within a month of treatment.

When I researched Aldara for my tiny patch of GW, I completely freaked out about the negative side effects. Finally used it and they were gone in 1.5 weeks. A bit of itching & scabbing, but not bad at all!
It worked for me, had a little rash but thats all.

Been using it for almost two weeks now and my warts are almost gone. I just finished my 5th treatment and Im probably going to skip my 6th because the skin that Ive been using it on has become a little red and irritated. Its not severe but Im not taking any chances. Other than that everythings been going very smoothly. Ive been applying the cream exactly the way they tell you to and I go on a MonWedFri night basis. At this rate they should be gone in about 2 weeks or so.

Followed freezing with Aldara and seems to be effective. Still using

i am applying sudocream not aldara to the area whenever they appear as that has zinc which helps the immune system n it dries the spots out with no pain avoid open skin as it scars but those heal in time with sudocream just apply to all new entries just dabbing avoid rubbing , not worked out a permanent solution yet :)

I am just starting week 2 on Aldara. So far I already see a difference in the GW already (half the size that they were). I am only experiencing a bit of itching as a side effect which amazed me after reading some of the terrible side effects some people are having. Regardless, if it keeps on working as does I definitely recommend this treatment. The largest downfall is the price... I paid over $400.
Works well, but I can't afford it

Just went on it today not sure if its working yet. Mt next pap is in 6 months.
