Fluouracil

I have been using fluouracil on my lips for two weeks. They are burning, swollen and painful. I am unclear how long it takes to go from the pain to healing.

  1. Hi . How much longer do you have to use it? The treatment time varies from person-to-person, so if you think you should be done, send pictures to your doctor and ask. Here is a study from the National Institutes of Health that might give you some inspiration to get through the rest of treatment: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/879810/.
