My Story

10 yrs ago I had a "bowenoid hypertrophic actinic keratosis" growth on the side of the bridge of my nose. I was told there was no sign of invasion. From your website this growth was keratoacanthoma. I have been treated for keratoacantosis since then, cryotherapy 2017, fucidin 2016, efudex 5% 2018, fucidin 2018. In 2019, I was told "You have dry skin use a moisturizer." October of 2019, I started liquid nitrogen which is ongoing. 2023, I changed dermatologist and nitrogen spray. In December of 2024, I started using efudex cream. My next appointment is in March.

  1. Hi . I am glad you advocated for yourself and found someone new. Are you liking this new dermatologist so far? How are you faring with the Efudex cream? Thinking of you and wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
