Dry skin condition after Efudex treatment.

Recently my doctor recommended Efudex treatment for my skin damage due to excess sun exposure. Not a great time but suffered through it! Since my completion of the treatment I have been experiencing a notable increase of dry skin to my entire face that can not be abated with any moisturiser as of now. Has anyone had the same experience and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

  1. post- Efudex treatment can be challenging. Did your doctor offer any suggestions? One of our advocates familiar with Efudex has shared articles with her tips, I wanted to share a couple with you https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/healing-after-efudex and https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/tips-for-efudex-users. I hope these are helpful, along with any suggestions other community members share. All my best, Julie (team member)
