My dermatologist prescribed Efudex for my AKs. The pharmacy switched the prescription to Carac, probably due to my insurance's restrictions. I had used Efudex years ago for spot treatment, but this is the first time over my entire face.
After reading a lot of the messages here I'm left wondering if Carac perhaps has a higher likelyhood of doing longterm damage to the skin. I haven't seen any posts on Efudex leaving the dark marks on the face like Carac. And I'm left wondering, am I being paranoid since I'm stuck using Carac rather than Efudex or are they really equally beneficial and equally dangerous?
