Basal Cell Cancer

I am new to this group. I am wondering what will happen if I quit applying Efudex for 5 days then restart.

  1. 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?

  2. Hi Lori
    I started applying Efudex on Dec 23. I am now into the recovery process now for my cheeks.
    I started on January 17 I started treating my upper chest.
    I treated my face for 3 weeks.
    My chest could be 4 weeks. Will see how it goes.
    Thank you for getting back to me.
