I have actually tried both. They both work about the same, but I would have to say that the Aldara was a bit more irritating to my skin cancer (a good thing)...I have also used Carac cream (a topical chemotherapy cream) which is great because you apply it all over and it actually brings out any hidden cancers under the skin.

I just looked up Carac and it says it is the same as the effudux? Maybe just a different name?? I think I am going to suggest trying Effudux for this next round of spots-5. I want to get them biopsied first so I know what I am dealing with. I have been diagnosed with the morpheaform infiltrative type of bc on my brow. I have read that these creams are not good for this sub type. Anyway, it scares me a bit to just be applying lotions like aldara etc when I have no idea what I am dealing with. The Aldara also seems to work well once the spot has been biopsied then healed up-i/o of the surgery route.
