Aldara Cream
Aldara treats actinic keratosis, superficial basal cell carcinoma, and external genital and perianal warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) and appears on the outside of the body. This medicine is not a cure for genital warts. Actinic keratosis is a condition caused by too much sun exposure on the face and scalp that can turn into skin cancer. Superficial basal cell carcinoma is a minor form of skin cancer when surgery is not an appropriate treatment.
Before using Aldara cream, tell your doctor if you are allergic to Aldara or to any other drug, you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant or are breast-feeding a baby during treatment, you have graft-versus-host disease, or if you have recently received a bone marrow transplant or cord blood transplant. Tell your doctor about all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals, and herbal products that you use.
How to use Aldara:
Before applying Aldara, wash your hands and affected skin area. Allow the skin to dry for at least 10 minutes before applying for the medicine. Always wash your hands after applying for the medicine. If the affected area is wounded, broken, or burned, wait until the skin has healed before using Aldara. Aldara does not protect you against sexually transmitted diseases (for example chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, HIV, syphilis, and trichomoniasis. Avoid sexual activity when the medicine is on your skin, especially if you are treating the genital or rectal area. Aldara cream will weaken the rubber that condoms and diaphragms are made from.
If a dose is missed, wait until the next time before you are getting ready for bed to use the medication. Do not double up on doses to make up for the missed dose.
