Healing After Efudex Treatment

I'm on my second round of efudex treatment on some suspicious spots on my lower legs. They just seem to turn red without doing much else. I've finished six weeks and now have little pinpoint red spots showing up in the areas I've treated. Is this normal? After treatment last Spring I spent the whole summer with multuiple red spots on my legs...now they've reacted the same way again. Are they definitely basal cell or AK's? I'm very depressed and discouraged. Any feedback would be appreciated. 

I finished 4 weeks 5-FU on arms with many spots that never had scabs or erosion, so doc said actually either "pre AK", or early sun damage, or should watch for more advanced BCC or SCC.  He wants me to see him again in several months and see how they may have changed.  So, most likely sun damaged cells that have not become AK "yet"?

Thanks for the feedback. You have to wonder if the dermo would be so insistent on using this stuff if it was on their spots????
