thank you so much for your reply.
I did see my doctor and he said that I had an severe reaction.
I am now on antibiotics, oral and topical.
it looks absolutely horrible, where the crusting came off there are now bloody scabs forming. I had a squamous cell carcinoma removed form my upper lip and that operation was nothing compared to this treatment.
I did my face, chest and neck a year ago now and am very pleased with the results. I used Efudex 2x day for 21 days. The reaction was horrible as expected and really took me by surprise as I was not warned about what would happen. Used the internet to get info/pics etc. The lips were probably the worst with scabbing and bleeding every day and difficulty eating but I persevered for the 21 days, they cleared up fairly quickly when I stopped the treatment, faster than the face actually. I also used Vaseline with Hydrocortisone 2 hrs after the treatment and it worked well.
Good luck keep with it you will not be sorry.
