Hi ! Welcome to the community! You submitted this question as a story, but I converted it to a Forum post because more members will see it here and, hopefully, respond.
Have you asked your doctor or pharmacist what the impact might be? Some people do take a day or two off if their skin is super red and weeping, but we are not medical experts. So, it's probably best to check with your doctor before doing it. If it's super painful, it might even be time to stop. The time frame for treatment is not exact. Some people react more quickly than others to the medication.
How long have you been applying it?
Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
