Imiquimod is an immune response modifier which was originally used in the treatment of genital warts. It has an effect on both the innate and adaptive immune responses and increases cytokine production. It is therefore pro‐inflammatory. They are now used for several conditions including superficial cutaneous malignancy elsewhere (superficial basal cell carcinoma and lentigo maligna), high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), and extra‐mammary Paget’s disease.
