Efudex and Mohs

I had Mohs surgery 4 months ago, on right forehead. I had 4 passes. Healed beautifully. Had my 3 month checkup and doctor wants me to do efudex on same area. If Mohs surgery didn’t get it all, will the efudex now work? So confusing.

  1. Hi - thanks for sharing with us. I can understand the confusion, especially after you healed well after Mohs. Did your doctor give any insight into how long they want you to apply Efudex? I'm not sure if you've seen this yet, but we do have a content hub on all things Efudex and topical chemotherapy that may be helpful to read through: https://skincancer.net/topical-chemotherapy-guide. Please keep me posted on how you're doing! All the best, Alexa (SkinCancer.net moderator)
