Genetal Warts - Immiqimod at 13 weeks - Need Advise
Hello,
I have completed 13 weeks of using Immiqimod. Doctor originally prescribed for 16 weeks @ 5 days a week.
First 7 weeks, it left like applying cold cream. No reaction on the warts. In the interim, I was doing cold freeze every 2 weeks for almost 4 times...killing anything that pops up...After 8 weeks, I did not see the new ones coming. However, I continued to apply the immiqimod cream on the area where I had Warts before. This caused a severe reaction on the skin where the skin started to peel off and took 2 weeks to heal. Happened twice. it was miserable..Is this correct behavior? My GW were first spotted on Jan 1st week and Its been 9 months.
Anyone with similar experience tell me if I continue to apply the cream on the previously healed areas until 16 weeks are done or just stop using it since I dont have any now?

I'm sorry to hear about your reaction. To be honest, there's not very many people on this forum who are posting currently so I don't know if anybody here has any experience with Immimqimod. But you can try doing is searching the Forum with that as a keyword and see if you come up with any applicable post. Otherwise, see if there's a way to contact the manufacturer or message your doctor or soon dermatologists can weigh in. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

Thanks skaterdave your responses are valued!
Yes, Thank you. I feel that I am at the last leg of the issues. Thankfully the worries would be over soon once I finish my last 2 weeks.
