I am a male 26 yrs. old. My case was not what I conider "severe" to begin with. Had a few that looked like moles at the base of my penis. For the past 4 months have been consistently getting Cryotherapy every three weeks and Aldara almost every day Lessons Learned: Don't apply too much Aldara it will irritate the skin. Limit it to affected area only. Experimented with Tea Tree oil - Didn't see much value. I do use a Tea Tree Body Soap by Paul Mitchell that is an excellent cleanser a must use. Other things that helped: keeping area clean, not shaving around affected area (It will spread!!!), Echinacea X2 per day, no drinking, no smoking (never really did before anyhow), eat healthy, plenty of exercise. Food rich in nutrients especially antioxidents, multivitamin.

Yeah, definitely don't over-do the aldara. Keep it relatively local and only use 3 times a week...even then you get some/alot of over-irritation..but it does work.

in the wart area only-don't bother using it all over. The irritation factor is defintely serious. Plus, the design of the medication is for straight on Wart.

Aldara is what my clinician highly recommended, and I learned why. It was the only thing that I did respond to. And, she had samples.....apparently a lot of doctors do. FYI.

Aldara is soooo irritating. But it seems to have cleared up the warts.

Sounds like you've got everything worked out! Congratulations--and thinks for advice with Aldara. Just to warn you echinecia is great but after prolongued use it will actually weaken the immune system so just be careful.
