Evelyn Watts –
Some warts had started to appear on my genital area and they’re multiplying fast so I panicked. I went to see a doctor and I was prescribed with imiquimod. Though it isn’t intended to cure the cause of the warts, I’m thankful enough that it helped with getting rid of the warts because it has become very uncomfortable walking and moving around with those warts down there. I have been using this for two weeks already and most of the warts are now gone and it seems that there are no new growths since the end of my 1st week with this cream. My doctor said I just need a week more with this cream and hopefully all the warts will be cleared out by then. I haven’t had any side effects since I started this.
