4% Tolak (Fluorouracil) on chest
I used this on my forehead some months ago and had virtually no side effects, so extremely lucky.
I am now on day 12 of applying it to my chest (the v-neck area), and it’s come up so much and SO ITCHY I’m wondering if it’s an allergic reaction, or is this just thinner skin reacting to the ointment ? Also, I read about erosion; if it’s not allergic, am I at this stage yet? I’d be very grateful for some guidance. Thank you all for all the advice I’ve read x
That looks painful,
. Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing whether this is normal or an allergic reaction. Can you send an image to your dermatologist, if you haven't already? Some people do have different reactions on different parts of the body, so it's possible this is normal for your chest, but it's best to check anyway since we're not medical experts. Please keep us posted. Thinking of you, Lori (Team Member) Thank you, Lori. Unfortunately, being in the UK I don’t have a dermatologist, and it’s virtually impossible to get an appointment with my GP, so I’m pretty much on my own trying to decide on the way forward. I’ll probably persevere for the remainder of the time and try not to tear my skin off 😫
