I have only applied aldara cream twice but
already I am very irritated and on a night
mostly I am itchy and sore. One wart is
quite high up near where i wee from and it
feels more tender now since applying the
cream. I just wanted to know if this is
because the cream is working or if i
should stop using it. I want my warts to
go its just a bit uncomfortable especially
as it keeps me awake at night. If this is
what the cream does I cant put up with it
for weeks as its already getting to me now
after a few days so if this is an effect
of it is there anything I could do along
side it to prevent the itchiness and
irritation??
When using Aldara Cream, the most common
side effects involve skin reactions in the
application area. These include redness,
swelling, a sore, blisters, or ulcers,
skin that becomes hard or thickened, skin
peeling, scabbing and crusting, itching,
burning, and changes in skin colour that
do not always go away. If these side
effects become unbearable you can visit
the doctor who prescribed you Aldara-cream
and discuss possible alternatives.
