Day 12 here with two to go. I'd like to quit now too but fear that giving in will only create more trouble later.
I almost think the vaseline holds in the heat and create more burning sensation. However, it's too dry without it.
So, what I've done is bought some facial cleansing cloths (Dove, Oil of Olay...) made for sensitive skin, no alcohol. Wet them and use lightly on your face. It will help lift the vaseline and the dry skin and honestly you'll feel better for doing so.
The hardest part is the 10 minute wait before applying the cream again.
I'm doing the Efudex 5% twice daily for 14 days. OUCH...
Read the thread EFUDEX-THE EASY WAY FOR SOME GREAT TIPS.
Carac and Efudex are slightly different but the outcome is the same.
Good luck!
