I was prescribed ALDARA, anyone have any experience with it?
How long did it take for it to clear?
I've hear alot about the whole freezing them off thing but I'm yet to talk to my doctor about it. Would I have to go to a specialist for that or just a regular doctor?
Anyone know any "home remedies" to clear them out or atleast ease the discomfort?
---serious answer only please---
There are a number of acidic wart removers out there and they do work, given time (usually 3-5 days), or freezing them off could remove them immidiately. Most family doctors can perform the freezing, and dematologists and ObGyns will definitely do it. The problem is that the warts will keep coming back. The scars from removal often lead to cancer, as happened with a close family member.
8 years ago I worked on a treatment for genital warts that was very different. We used 5%tetraethylamioniumchlorilemo... in an anhyrous creme (applied once daily) to "dry" the warts away. They were gone in a few days and with a low dose .25% weekly conitued treatment warts didn't come back. It was proven safe in lab and human testing but never went to production. Ask Dow if they feel like selling you some of the leftovers.
Okay, I can see how TECl Monohydrate may not be a "home remedy". Luckily there are several natural treatments available too. The virus that causes warts is virtually identical to the one that causes herpes, and while most home remedy books don't mention wart treatments they do mention plenty of treatments to ease the discomfort of herpes. Ice, or cold milk work well. Peanut oil is my personal favorite for almost all skin abnormalities. L-Lysene works if you avoid chocolate, citrus and oats. Mainly just try and stay relaxed because stress considerably worsens the condition, and understand that it may be embarassing, but it's a very common problem.
