Susan, Just heard from my derm doc....
She said I received -Intralesional 5-Fluorouracil -
I have had 'open wound' healing a few times. It does take longer than if stitched, but its not difficult...just clean once a day, then vaseline and a dressing. I was advised to wear compression socks for a little quicker healing. Either way, with or without stitches it takes awhile, and swimming is out unless in water that I know is clean...and I have found some good waterproof bandages if I want a quick dip. (Then rewash immediately. Thankfully I am in the NoEast so not as bad as if in TX or AZ or FL... 🙂

Susan - I never thought of adding that I also take ACITRETIN 10 mg EOD (I can't seem to handle every day). Just an FYI
