Fluorouracil after care

Having been through three treatments of fluorouracil over the years, I finally tried Desitin cream on my oozing and bleeding skin during recovery. The Desitin cream really reduced the pain, itching, swelling, and my face no longer sticks to the pillowcase in the morning when I get up. I can only say how it works for me, but hopefully, Desitin can help others reduce or avoid some misery during recovery.

  1. ...Thank you so much for sharing this with the community. I am glad you found something that works so well for you during the healing stage--it is such a difficult part of the process.


    It's so important to find a product that will allow you to feel normal again and get some rest at night. I know how relieved you must be to not deal with the sticky sheets and pillowcases!


    Wishing you all the best!
