I have warts around my anus and have been applying aldara for almost 5 weeks. I think they're getting smaller but their still there. I am wondering if you really have to throw away a packet of aldara after one use. It seems like such a waste of expensive cream, does it matter?
I also wanted to know if applying lotion or cortizone cream between treatment would affect the medicine.

I'm in the same boat as you, and my doctor told me that it was fine to use one packet for like three applications. What I do is put it in a plastic bag and use it again, but after I apply it, I make sure to wash my hand before I put it away.

Don't throw it away, that's stupid. I go through a packet every two days. I use it every night.

Question
having the anal warts, do you notice if you bleed when you go number two? I hate to be gross, but I don't know what to think, and I don't know if I have a hurnia (I don't know how to spell it) or if it's something more serious.

yeah there's blood, the warts are finger shaped and at the base if you fold them over there is blood sometimes. Most of the blood came from wiping, so i just take one dump a day now and shower afterwards. Gross huh. I think you mean a hemorhoid not a hurnia. Thats what I thought i had because of this bleeding but from the pictures i've seen these are warts for sure. so what about putting cortizone or vitamin e or something to ease the pain?

Yeah, had blood there too. It sucked but what can ya do....but the Aldara did work though and got rid of the warts there...now just for the other areas. Cortizone helps as well on the nights you dont' use Aldara.
