I was diagnosed with HPV causing genital warts last week. I had 5-6 warts around my labia minora. I was prescribed Aldara, 3x a week for 6 hours, for 8 weeks. I started the treatment 8 days ago, but after the first dose I got my period and waited 5 days until it was over, and then resumed treatment. I have only applied Aldara twice and all the warts are now gone. Everything I have read about Aldara indicates it takes multiple weeks for the warts to disappear. I am wondering if I was potentially misdiagnosed? If not should I continue applying Aldara for the full 8 weeks even though there are no more warts?
Call the doc office and talk to a nurse. I would say if there is no wart then do not put any med on just skin. I am using Aldara too and on my second treatment. I have done 4 acid treatments and often it would work on new warts so they were gone after only one treatment.
