Imiquimod cream, known as Aldara, is used in the UK to treat conditions like genital warts, superficial basal cell carcinoma, and actinic keratosis. It stimulates the body’s immune system to combat abnormal skin growth. While generally effective, users may experience localized skin reactions or mild flu-like symptoms during treatment.

Grifulvin (Griseofulvin)
Griseofulvin is an antifungal medicine used to tackle fungal infections in the UK, like ringworm, affecting the skin, hair, and nails. It works by getting into the skin and preventing the fungus from spreading. Treatment can take a while, especially for nail infections, so it’s important to stick with it. While newer options exist, griseofulvin is still sometimes preferred, particularly for scalp infections in children in the UK.
