Where can I get cream for genital warts?

Post by SlackWaster »

Hello

That's it really, got a couple of the little blighters, had them before. Was given the amazing Alvara (imiquimod) in UK.
Would rather avoid a Dr if poss and just get some cream, but none of the PP pharmacies I've asked have Alvara.

Anyone got any advice re getting cream, any alternatives, or if I have to go to a Dr - where?

Thanks.

It may be worth asking at a good Pharmacy for any of the following.

Genital wart treatments that can be applied directly to your skin include:

Imiquimod (Aldara, Zyclara). This cream appears to boost your immune system's ability to fight genital warts. Avoid sexual contact while the cream is on your skin. It may weaken condoms and diaphragms and may irritate your partner's skin.
One possible side effect is redness of the skin. Other side effects may include blisters, body aches or pain, cough, rashes, and fatigue.

Podophyllin and podofilox (Condylox). Podophyllin is a plant-based resin that destroys genital wart tissue. Your doctor must apply this solution. Podofilox contains the same active compound, but can be safely applied by you at home.
Your doctor may want to administer the first application of podofilox, and will recommend precautionary steps to prevent the medication from irritating surrounding skin. Never apply podofilox internally. Additionally, this medication isn't recommended for use during pregnancy. Side effects can include mild skin irritation, sores or pain.

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA). This chemical treatment burns off genital warts, and can be used for internal warts. Side effects can include mild skin irritation, sores or pain.

Sinecatechins (Veregen). This cream is used for treatment of external genital warts and warts in or around the anal canal. Side effects are often mild and may include reddening of the skin, itching or burning, and pain.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Why would I be trolling? I have picked up genital warts and I want some cream. Low IQ trolling.
