Why should I avoid going out in the sun while using Aldara?
Aldara makes the skin more photosensitive and therefore more susceptible to sunburn. It is best to avoid both direct and indirect sunlight while using Aldara. Avoid exposure to artificial UV rays as well. Use sunblock and wear protective clothing when you go out. Those suffering from sunburn should discontinue or avoid using Aldara as a genital wart treatment until the sunburn heals.
