Efudex

Good Day All,

Thank you for all the knowledge.  I am on day 12 of a 14 day Efudex, 2x a day.  I went to mt Dr yesterday and he said I had had enough!  Around my nose and near my lip and cheeks it is very red and I see some blisters but my forehead still looks like the measles.  I see some terms of treatment are for 3 week instead of 2 weeks.  I am not sure how much experience my doctor has with this treatment. I am tempted to keep it on my forehead and stop around my nose and cheek area.  Anyone else have the same problem?  If the forehead is red and measle like, will it still peel away the bad cells?  Thanks,

MJ

Hi, did you stop at 14 days and how is your face now?

I completed a 14 day, twice a day treatment on my entire face one week ago and right now feel if I could go back and not do this I would.
