This is Kathy again. Because using Carac cream is so unpleasant, I've been online trying to learn everything there is about it. What I just read on one site suggests stopping applications once the "erosion" stage is reached. I have lost the entire top layer of my facial skin (prior to reading the information today) I called my dermatologist to ask if I should continue treatment (prior to reading the information about erosion/stopping treatment) and she said to continue for the full 28 days. I'm confused..because I am now applying the cream to an entirely new layer of skin. Any comments?
