Aldara for DSAP?

Someone told me that a doctor told her that Aldara had "improved" one patient's DSAP condition. So I emailed the manufacturer of Aldara (in December of 2000).

3M Pharmaceutical's response: "...As you know, Aldara is approved for use in external genital warts. However, due to its unique mechanism of action, many physicians prescribe Aldara for other skin conditions. We have no clinical data regarding the effectiveness of Aldara for DSAP. However, we recently heard from a patient who was recently started on Aldara for DSAP. She reported improvement in her lesions. She had been treated with many other modalities before her dermatologist prescribed Aldara. Because we have so little information, the proper dosing for DSAP is not known. However, we are aware that many physicians prescribe Aldara from once weekly to twice daily..."

My personal results from using Aldara for DSAP was NO results. I had absolutely no improvement, no worsening and no reaction either.

I have heard from one patient that said Aldara made her DSAP worse.
