Hi Brenda,
I’m sorry you had to have that first horrible experience with Efudex. It is such a strong treatment and so painful for so many. I’m glad the moisturizer/med combo worked out so well for you. I can imagine it would take quite a bit longer but worth the results in the end. Thank you for commenting and giving readers an idea of what…

I’ve used it for years but when I put on face it burned my face skin come off and all of the above went back to my dr and he said use every other day and add a little moisturizer to it . And that worked better for me may have taken a little longer but was worth it I use on the rest of my body full strength .

Don’t let the lack of knowledge of others get you down! You, along with other moderators here, do a LOT to spread skin CANCER awareness. I know it’s frustrating to speak the truth to those who either refuse to acknowledge the danger of UV rays, or just don’t know any better.

You are right to be concerned about changing moles, lesions, or spots on the skin. Not every changing spot is cancerous, but changes in symmetry, border, color, diameter, and the evolution of the spot are all key things about which to remain vigilant. I would continue to watch the area and note changes (even if it is on the scalp and covered by…
