has anyone used efudex cream?

During the first 2 to 4 weeks of treatment, the areas of your skin affected by AK or sBCC lesions will probably turn red and look and feel irritated. This is typical and should not cause concern. The redness, crusting, and peeling are signs that EFUDEX® is working to eliminate the unhealthy cells. Even though this stage of treatment may be unattractive and somewhat uncomfortable, it is important that you do not stop the therapy.

Some patients may be concerned with the inflammation associated with EFUDEX® therapy. Talk to your doctor; he or she can best assess the situation and advise you.

Areas of your skin where there were no lesions may become red and inflamed. This is because abnormal cells can become inflamed even if the cells were not previously noticeable on the skin's surface.1, 18-20 The more AKs you have, the more redness and inflammation you can expect during treatment.

Number 1 about efudex treatment-- you are not in a race. There is no deadline you have to meet. The goal of treatment is not to irritate you; that is a side effect. If the irritation is too much, hold off for 2 to 7 days and give your skin a rest then get back to treatment you will get the job done with a lot less discomfort. Furthermore, over the counter hydrocortisone will not interfere with the beneficial effect of efudex and may also help you tolerate the cream better. If that doesn't do it ask your doctor for a stronger anti-inflammatory cream.

I hope these hints help.

As much as it is painful, plucking is the better option. The chemical option is not only harmful, but could end up being even more painful than plucking, as the coarseness of this hair, and the amount of time it will take for the chemical to work often leaves women with painful burns, which will look even worse than the hair did. In time, plucking will be less painful, and you will not mind it as much.

One of my friend used efudex cream for the same major problem. it will help to block certain cells in the body.

right now her face is very clear. it works fine for her.

I haven't.

SORRY.
