I just started my treatment a few days ago, applying on my nose and a couple spots on my face. How soon after Application can I feel comfortable touching the skin and not worry about transference? Thanks so much.

  1. Hi there! Welcome to our community, we're so glad you found us! Am I correct in assuming you are talking about topical chemotherapy (Efudex)? If so, I wanted to share our topical chemotherapy guide which has a lot of great articles about the treatment and what to expect: https://skincancer.net/topical-chemotherapy-guide. That said, we are unable to provide medical advice for your own safety, so we advise that you bring up any questions you may have about the treatment to your doctor. Wishing you all the best, please keep me posted on how the rest of your treatment goes! -Alexa (SkinCancer.net moderator)
