October 06-Jan 07 I treated both my entire arms (at once) and then afterwards lower legs. The arms healed up in about 6 months and the legs almost a year. I was using a combination of remedies-For two weeks I applied tazorac to arms one time a day-After two weeks I applied efudex 5% 2 x's a day and got a brisk reaction-dc'd efudex treatment after 13 days-arms blistered and oozed- I then used tegaderm patches to expidite healing as well as Biafine (rx) it was awful scabbed and oozed crusted and etc....My legs I followed same protocol just took longer but the reaction was the same oozzing,crusting,swelling once again I used tegaderm patches aquaphor and emu oil- I was using this protocol for my skin condition dissiminated superficial actinik pokeratosis (dsap) it is linked to ak's well I have had verg good feel blessed resolution-I think you may be experincing something in where you need to get a second oppinion-When my 100's of lesions oozed,blisterd and scabbed they basically fell off and there was new skin exposed-I would get a second opinion-Best to you
Wow, it took that long to heal, maybe it is because you used a combination of meds? I am on day 11 applying Efudex 2x a day and last night was the first really "hot" night for me. I am doing the upper and lower part of both arms and legs. Havent' had alot of spots show up yet a few and those that have been there for a long time it doesn't seem to be doing anything to them and those are the ones i wanted gone. I am only doing this for 3 weeks because of my trip on April 19th. I guess if I have to do it longer than 3 weeks it is going to have to wait until I get back home.
Do you think i will be healed by April 19th?
Thanks,
