You will have been prescribed imiquimod to treat one of three different skin conditions. It is used to remove anogenital warts, or for a kind of sun damage called actinic keratosis, or for a type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma. It works with your body's immune system to help it fight damage to the skin. There are two strengths of cream available - 3.75% (brand name Zyclara®) and 5% (brand names Aldara® and Bascellex®).
