@rob454 Time to get tough with that little dog! No licking your face or coming in contact with that cream! Sleep on the bed okay. Cover your nose might help, but she might want to sniff that strange contraption you are wearing! Persistent pushing her away might have to do until she gets the message? She means well, and loves you. And you love her, but don't want her to get sick!

Try using a light towel on top of the pillowcase, doubled, to protect the pillow. It worked for me. And remember, you don't need very much of the cream! Let me know how it goes!

@gingerw
There’s no question fluorouricil can be an effective treatment for sun damaged skin.
There’s an alternative with the newer Blue Light regimen.
Instead of a waiting a period of 1-2 hours after applying Levulan and 16 minutes under the light which is quite uncomfortable, it can be just as effective immediately going under the light after the Levulan for 30 minutes. I had it done a few weeks ago, with
no discomfort and an excellent reaction.
Consult with your dermatologist.

@gingerw I did the blue light instead. I'm glad I did. Wasn't bad at all. I'm so glad I didn't do the cream.
