any tips about quicker fluorouracil erosion treatment

i look pretty bad after 2 weeks of fluorouracil. i stopped about a week ago because i have a graduation and a wedding to attend this and next weekend. the backs of my arms and hands are the worst since this is the first time i did my arms. the past couple of days i have been doing semi hot epson salt baths. seems to help the pain, but i still look horrible. anyone have any suggestions?

  1. I'm so sorry you're struggling with your fluorouracil treatment. It can be a really uncomfortable, painful process. I hope others who have gone through it can chime in, but I wanted to share our topical chemotherapy hub with you in case you haven't seen it: https://skincancer.net/topical-chemotherapy-guide. There are a lot of great articles here with tips for using fluorouracil, so you may be able to find something helpful here. Please keep me posted on how you're doing! All the best, Alexa (SkinCancer.net moderator)
