Can I wear a mask when I go out.

I like to wear a mask when I go into the stores, can I still do that now that I’ve started with the Efudex on my nose.

  1. Hi - thanks for asking this important question. Have you asked your doctor if there is any guidance around covering up areas treated with Efudex? We are not qualified to offer medical advice, so I want to make sure you are connecting with your doctor before doing anything that may interfere with your treatment. I did, however, want to share a few links we have on Efudex treatment that may be helpful: https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/tips-for-efudex-users, https://skincancer.net/topical-chemotherapy-guide. Perhaps other community members/Efudex users can chime in with their experience, too! Hope this helps, and wishing you well during your treatment! All the best, Alexa (SkinCancer.net moderator)
