imiquimod for Basal Cell Carcinoma: I had a basal cell carcinoma on my face, right under my left eye. I had surgery to remove it but it came back. The Imiquimod cream did the trick. It never came back and I'm writing this 4 years after the fact.

imiquimod for Actinic Keratosis: I began treatment on my scalp and face three weeks ago. There appears to be no adverse reaction other than some small scaly spots that are painful. Treatment is twice a week.

imiquimod for Basal Cell Carcinoma: Applying it once a day every day for five days is easier than I at first thought. Luckily the sites are on my shoulder blade area so I can reach them. Had they been in the middle or lower down I would not be able to apply the cream. After a few days the skin turned to sore welts which crusted. It is uncomfortable sleeping sometimes too. Last week (after two full weeks of treatment) I had to miss a day's application because the sore were too painful. I still have many more weeks to continue and I really want to stop, but I shall persist.
