has anybody taken aldara for this? Or anything that you apply yourself? With Aldara your supposed to leave on while you sleep, but I cant see how it wont rub off? Anybody have any tips, or does it just need such a little bit that once you rub it in it doesn't really come off unless you wash it? I've just started taking it, I dont want to be wasting my time. Thanks!

hey there... my g/f used aldara too and she always thought it would rub off on her clothes at night too..... just rub it in good and try not to leave any excess.

if aldara doesnt work for you...try blistex lip cream..yes i am serious. burns a little at first...apply several times a day and at night... that worked for me because i couldnt afford the aldara...also a aspirin paste applied directly to the wart and covered with a band aid can help too.... sounds kooky but they worked for me...

good luck!
