Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I use Imiquimod cream during my period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, Imiquimod cream belongs to non-nucleoside heterocyclic amine drugs, which have antiviral and antitumor effects. It works by inducing the body to produce cytokines such as alpha interferon. It is used to treat external genital and perianal warts in adults. It can also be used to treat chickenpox, herpes zoster, and infections of type I and type II herpes simplex, including primary and recurrent genital herpes. It is generally safe to use during menstruation.
