first time user of Efudex

My dermatologist recommended that I use the anti-cancer cream Efudex for a spot on my upper lip, spot where I had a Moh operation about one year ago. I am concerned to put it on the scar of my lip as it said on the paper that came with the cream that you must avoid getting any into your mouth. What I'm supposed to do ? to apply it only on top of my lip?

  1. It would probably be best to follow up with your doctor on that question as that is a pretty specific medical question. I have used Fluorouracil before but on my ears. I’m about to start using Imodoquin on my forehead to avoid the chance of getting it in my eyes and cause of the danger to my pets. Best of luck.

  2. Hi . You submitted this question as a story, so I converted it to a forum post. You'll get more responses this way. I wanted to tag you here so you see 's response and any others that might come. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
