Description

Aldara Cream 5% is a topical treatment for several skin conditions including solar or actinic keratoses, patches of scaly sun-damaged pre-cancerous skin on the face and scalp. Aldara Cream 5% is also used to treat basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer, where the lesion cannot be removed by surgery because of the location, especially the face and lower legs; or is not considered appropriate for other reasons. Aldara Cream 5% is also used to treat external genital and perianal warts, which are warts on the surface of the genitals and around the anus and are caused by a virus called human papillomavirus.
