Imiquimod

​	Apply imiquimod cream before going to sleep. Before applying the cream, wash your hands and the treatment area with mild soap and water and pat dry. Squeeze a small amount of cream onto your fingertips.
​	Apply a thin layer of the cream to the treatment area and rub gently into the skin until the cream vanishes. Only use enough cream to cover the treatment area.
​	After applying the cream, wash your hands with mild soap and water.
​	Leave the cream on the affected area for 6 - 10 hours. Do not shower or bathe during this time.
​	After 6 - 10 hours, wash the area where the cream was applied with mild soap and water.

After several applications according to the course of treatment prescribed by your doctor, the lesions will shrink or dry up upon healing.

If you miss an application, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed application and go back to your regular usage schedule.
