I just discovered I have hpv. I went to the local clinic today and they gave me a prescription for aldara. I only have two warts that are not large at all. I was just wondering if anyone has used aldara, they also gave me the choice of freezing them, which is free, aldara is going to cost me $200, but that is not the problem. I just want to know how effective aldara has been for other people, and if anyone has had any warts frozen off, and if so is it painful? I also wanted to know if anyone has had hpv, and used aldara and never had the warts return? I am very worried about getting rid of them and them comming back. Does it ever happen where they are treated and never returned? Thank you for you help, I really appreciate it!
