"Have been using Aldara for the past 3 weeks and it is finally starting to work. Had a cluster of warts on bottom side of my penis head (under foreskin), that has been ruining my sex-life for years. I honestly never thought I would get rid of them. After 3 weeks of use, the warts are now 60% gone and I can see improvements each day. First 2 weeks I saw no change, so stick with it! It does work! I have only had minor side-effects. But I also only applied a very little amount and ONLY on the warts. VERY happy with the results!"

"Was on this for months. Two warts on the penis tip cleared very well, but came back as soon as treatment was paused. Other warts on the shaft, foreskin, under the foreskin shrunk in size during treatment but never cleared. The cream caused a lot of burning sensations on the skin and was very uncomfortable. The foreskin became weak and lost some elasticity during treatment and as a result broke several times during washing. By contrast, Podophyllotoxin cleared almost all warts in about three weeks (many of them later reappeared though) and while causing some degree of discomfort it wasn't comparable to Aldara."

"This treatment regimen was a real test of endurance. I used this to treat some small warts around the anus and the groin, which appeared after I had a large wart in the groin removed through surgery. This treatment was really tough going and only really started to work after 11 weeks. To be honest, I thought it work sooner if it was going to work and also because I had a lot of inflammation, weeping and rawness. I also bled quite a bit and had to repeatedly stop the treatment. I got to about 14 weeks before I had to quit because I wasn’t healing anymore and the pain was too much but after a few weeks of stopping, I am pretty much back to normal, which I honestly never thought would happen especially as treatment caused one of my small warts to get quite swollen. Because of location, it was difficult to be sparing with application, which probably contributed to symptoms. I used one sachet per week and kept in a zip lock bag in the fridge because its not cheap and this worked for me."

"I had genital warts and my gynecologist said to use aldara 3 times per week. Let me just say this cream is not pleasant at all. It causes mild itching and discharge sometimes and gave me a sore, but the worst thing is I experience aches and fatigue. After one week, I thought it was not working but after 2 weeks, the warts have almost flattened and i can see improvement. My advice is really only use it 3 times per week, a thin layer, the next day just start taking panadol and continue with it. Try not to mess it up by picking on the warts. It will get better, it is just very unpleasant"

"WORKS FAST! You can see changes already in three days after 1 sachet! I'm amazed by this product! But I suggest once everything is cleared up already, get HPV injected so you're protected!"

"Absolutely ineffective - used for all 4 month , twice over. Over priced and most probably people who are seeing results are getting placebo results as the virus probably went away on its own."
