Thanks for replying. I started last week applying it nightly and covering day and night, following dr instructions. Doctor suggested I not shave for the duration of the treatment. I'd rather not but I will do what I have to do. Once the skin begins peeling, I would stop the treatment as the dr suggested and would shave once the skin has healed. Then resume the treatment. I need 42 applications as opposed to 2 or 3 months as I have seen from other posts.
