I have had HPV for about 2 years now.
I have gone through different treatments, had different advice from different doctors.
The acid treatments were only temporary relif for me, and the warts would come back after a few weeks of being clean.
I read about Aldara online and decided to go to the doctor and bring it up to her. Before Aldara I was told that if the acid treatments were not working than there was nothing I could do. Just live with it.
When I told a new physician my interest in Aldara she immidiately helped me out.
In the begining it was pretty easy, not much pain, but I didn't see much improvement either. But the doctor had warned me, this treatment, although very effective for some can take a long time to work.
And then, yes, there was pain. Sometimes it hurt SO bad. I could bearly walk or sit. Most everything was uncomfortable for a few weeks or so. But as the medicine was working the warts became smaller and eventually went away.
Since Aldara I have been wart-free for almost a year and a half.
It's an alternative. It worked for me. It wasn't the most pleasant way, but I don't think there is such a thing as a pleasant way to treat any STD.
Hope your treatment goes well.=)
