Fluorouracil Treatment from Dermatologist

[DonnyO]

Anyone have to do the topical Fluorouracil treatment for actinic keratosis? Currently 13 days in and can't wait to be done. For anyone who wonders what that is it is usually prescribed for precancerous lesions and commonly used on the face.

My dermatologist prefers to freeze or laser those away.
What don't you like about it?

I have tried both ways and neither worked.

I have so many of those from my heedless young days of the pursuit of getting a tan, I'd have to bathe in the stuff daily.......

Yes have had that last year. Really helped, but was embarrassing to go out in public for a few weeks. The medication lasts a long time so keep it on hand.
