Today is my first time user of Fluorouracil

Hello Everyone, reading through all the side effects that can happen is scary. My prescription is apply 1 application 2 times a week. My areas is left cheek and my whole area above my lip. That area is what is concerning the most since I work in customer service and talk a lot will this cause much issues once the cream starts doing it’s job?
And since it’s just twice a week would applying at bedtime be the best?
I would like to hear from those that have had the upper lip mustache area to be clear.
Thank you

  1. our community understands your apprehension. Treating with Efudex, especially the first time has a lot of unknowns. I wanted to share a discussion amongst other members sharing their experience treating the lip area https://skincancer.net/forums/efudex-on-lip. I was also curious if your doctor mentioned SRT as a possible alternative treatment? https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/image-guided-srt. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or for support. We’re here for you. All my best, Julie (team member)
