Aldara and efudix

I finished my 6 week course of aldara on my bcc and about to finish my six week course of efudix on two small pre cancers… 

I have had no inflammation, no soreness and they all look like they are still there, is it likely this treatment hasn’t worked?

  • Hi Starbursting and thank you for your post.

    I am sorry to hear you have doubts about whether your treatment is working.

    If you believe that the affected areas have not improved, you may want to discuss this with your hospital specialists.

    Sometimes, treatment can still be working even after you have completed the course.

    Although efudix cream and aldara might help improve your skin condition, it is not effective for everyone.

    If you do not have an appointment soon with the specialist who prescribed the creams, please call them to discuss your concerns.

    I hope this information helps. 

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards

    Tina
