WHAT ALDARA CREAM IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Aldara cream may be used for three different conditions. Your doctor
may prescribe Aldara cream for
the treatment of:
•
Warts (condylomata acuminata) on the surface of the genitals (sexual
organs) and around the
anus (back passage)
•
Superficial basal cell carcinoma.
This is a common slow-growing form of skin cancer with a very small
likelihood of spread to
other parts of the body. It usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly
people, especially those
who are fair-skinned and is caused by too much sun exposure. If left
untreated, basal cell
carcinoma can disfigure, especially on the face – therefore early
recognition and treatment are
important.
•
Actinic keratosis
Actinic keratoses are rough areas of skin found in people who have
been exposed to a lot of
sunshine over the course of their lifetime. Some are skin coloured,
others are greyish, pink,
red or brown. They can be flat and scaly, or raised, rough, hard and
warty. Aldara should only
be used for flat actinic keratoses on the face and scalp in patients
with a healthy immune
system where your doctor has decided that Aldara
