Aldera

My doctor gave me aldera cream when I found out that I had HPV and it caused a wart to grow on my clitoris. Let me tell you that from my personal experience aldera cream is not worth the trouble. It made the infected area burn, itch, and swell. If your doctor gives you this you should ask if there is any other treatment.

I had opposite affects with Aldara. I
think Aldara does wonders. It takes a
long time to go away, but it gets your
immune system to kick in and get rid of
them, making it less likely they will
come back. I am glad my doctor
prescribed Aldara.

Well I'm happy it worked for you but
I'm in a lot of pain because of it. If
it doesn't stop soon I'm going back to
my doctor because the swelling is so
bad that when I walk I want to cry it
hurts so much.

i know what you are going through. i
have hpv related cancer on my clitoris
and i had to put aldera on it for two
months, it sucked! if the pain is
really bad and you have open sores,
stop using it for a few days to allow
your skin to heal. when it feels
better, start using it again. some
people will cut down to only 2 nights
a week instead of 3 b/c of
irritation. call your dr if their is
any pus, it could be infected.

I've been using Aldara on and off for
about 2 years when I have an outbreak.
Usually it causes no problems for me,
but if it gets on your skin where you
don't have a wart... it can cause a
pretty painful reaction. so just be
careful

Yeah I had displasia bc of the hpv. I
go back in a few months to see if it
is gone. I only use the cream on
monday, wensday, and friday but I
still dread those days. I have to go
see my doctor soon because the wart is
bleeding on days that I dont apply the
aldera. It's nice to have people to
talk to about it. My family and
friends don't seem to understand how
frustrating it is for me.

I used aldera cream and my warts
decreased in size but it did cause
swelling and i used vaginal cream and
the swelling went down. hope this helps
