How can I treat my condyloma? Do I need a doctor's approval before taking the medication?

Question

I do not take any medication or have any allergies. I have seen that aldara is effective for this type of disease, can I apply it without getting professional advice?

Hello Sir, It is very beneficial to consult a doctor (not even video consultation) before initiating treatment for condylomas. Indeed, if you start a treatment and it irritates the skin (a normal response of these treatments), it will be very very difficult for a doctor to examine you afterwards and be able to objectify the improvement of your symptoms (or even proceed to a change of diagnosis if the cream is not effective after all. Also, it is advantageous to consult to be able to get a vaccine against the other forms of viruses that cause condyloma. Bref, I recommend you consult:) If your doctor doesn't offer video consultation, you could try a platform like Bonjour Santé. Happy day, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
