Wondering about my treatment instructions
My derm prescribed Effudex, but her instructions seem very different from what I am reading. Week one, only treat the spurs that I can see, once a day at night. Week two, all over my face. And she told me to take the weekend off, so only 5 days a week. No other instructions. I realize that I have not been doing it correctly ( have used cleanser and moisturizer for example, and a healing balm). I stopped it last Friday and I am not sure if I need to continue. Definitely have the redness, burning and had some sloughing of skin but don’t know if it’s really doing the job.
Also, I had been doing full body red light therapy after workouts. Is this something to avoid while using the cream? And for how long after? Thank you!
it can be a bit confusing when you don’t get detailed instructions from your dermatologist, we get it! Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled? For your safety, we cannot offer medical advice. I would encourage you to reach out to your doctor’s office, many will have a nurses line that can help answer your questions. Sending well wishes, Julie (team member) I agree that you need to consult your doctor. But, FWIW, my doctor's instructions are nothing like anyone talks about here. 10-14 days, "you're going to hate me" That's it. Talk to your doctor and maybe you'll teach us something new! Good luck! I'm still healing 14 days later.
