Imiquimod Topical Cream Medication Description

Imiquimod topical cream is a prescription medication used to treat external genital and perianal warts. It works by stimulating the body’s immune system—both the innate and adaptive branches—to recognize and eliminate abnormal skin cells caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Imiquimod acts as an immune-response modifier rather than an antiviral, helping the body target infected cells for removal.

Patients apply a thin layer of the cream directly to the wart-affected area, gently rubbing it in until it is no longer visible. Treatment continues until the warts are completely cleared or for a maximum of 16 weeks, whichever comes first.

Because imiquimod stimulates a localized immune response, mild skin reactions like redness, irritation, or swelling may occur as the body eliminates the infected cells.

How To Use:

Prescription immune-response modifier for genital/perianal warts

Stimulates the body’s own defenses to eliminate abnormal cells

Applied topically until warts are no longer visible (max 16 weeks)

Best results occur with consistent application as directed

Not for internal use; apply only to external areas
Imiquimod Topical Cream Side Effects

Imiquimod topical cream potential side effects include: burning, skin scabbing/crusting, dry skin, itching, flaking, oozing, pain, redness, skin sores, or skin discoloration where applied
