Using Aldara Cream

I am applying aldara cream to my lower lip and have suffered all of the side effects others have mentioned. What I want to know is the harm or damage it does to your organs when ingested as it most certainly is when applied there, even when done just before going to sleep. The brochure states quite clearly not to use on the the lips, yet many of us have been prescribed to do so by our dermatologist.
After all on my suffering I am not even sure it will cure the problem.

I am new to this site and just read your post about using Aldara Cream today, Feb. 3rd.  I was wondering about your progress with it and if you continued to have the flu-like symptoms while you were using it.  I have an area of sqamous cell carcinoma on my clavicle/collarbone and began treatment about 2 weeks ago.  The side effects I have experienced include dizziness, headaches, feeling tired, soreness on and around the area and small red pimple like bumps around the area.
