Rhode Island  |  Medical Malpractice

Thanks for your question. I am very familiar with Aldara and have personally used it. An online opinion is not always accurate. I find them useful only as a starting point and a basis for asking questions. What did the dermatologist tell you when you questioned him about Aldara for a 4 year old?

As for the cost and that you are on "state medical," how does that matter? Aldara is not covered under the state plan? How would the doctor know that?

As to what would have happened to your daughter, no one can predict with certainty. Certainly, an attorney without a medical degree is not qualified to answer it. All man-made drugs carry downsides.

I think you are hesitant to return to that dermatologist because of how you think he mistreated you. Why not seek another and if Aldara is again prescribed, ask about the contraindications you heard about for a 4 year old. After all, we need to successfully treat your daughter. Best wishes
