"Been struggling with 2 anal warts since the beginning of 2020, one big and the other small. Been using podophyllin to burn the warts, but they kept coming back. Recently, I started using Aldara, and within 2 weeks of using it (8 applications), both warts disappeared. I couldn't believe it. I didn't have major side effects, just minor itching some days, but nothing bad. The cream does work. I just hope the results will last longer and not have warts back any time soon."

"I'm a gay male and had developed a killer case of internal and external anal warts about 6 or 7 years ago. I thought I would never again have anal sex because my butt was just so nasty. I went to the derm and she gave me Aldara to try. It didn't really do much. I ended up finding a wonderful proctologist who performed laser surgery on my behind. My butt is completely like new! "

"So far a bit side effects on me. Now I used aldara cream for 2 weeks and my anal warts are going hopefully they all cleared after 4 weeks. The side effects on me when my first week of using Aldara is very itchy and a bit dizzy I take all this for the sake of my anus. I have so many warts in my anus when I started Aldara and its really works. Thank you Aldara cream"

"Four weeks and my warts are pretty much gone! Yes, you have to be incredibly patient, and it can be incredibly uncomfortable, but it does what it says. Key things I noticed - inflammation, red, raw, and cold-like symptoms. Always felt fatigued the next day during weeks 2-3. But I really saw a difference from week 3 to week 4. Noticed I have some internal warts that I don’t think are appropriate for Aldara, so getting those frozen off, but the combination I think is great. I would use this again - especially if I catch them early and they don’t morph into anything bigger. Unfortunately, I was traveling, so I let them grow quite considerably."

"Aldara works, takes time, and the side effects can be heavy. Mild depression, lethargy, hypertension, brain fog, and headaches, but persevere with it for results."

"This works well. It takes time, but if you follow the instructions precisely, the warts get smaller and smaller until they're gone. No scar, no freezing or drying, no acid. The warts just shrink until they're gone. Fewer side effects than Condylox. It does not affect healthy skin like Condylox does."
