Skin cancer: Has anybody had fluorouracil treatment?

The original excision was supposed to be followed by a Mohs surgery, but due to the prominent location, the doctor decided to do the fluorouracil treatment.
I have a follow up, but not for a couple of months. The treatment is on my nose, so I am hoping that I don’t look like
Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer for Christmas.

@dlw950 definitely let the Provider know what’s happening. Did they explain which areas to focus where the margins were not clear?
Some of us with history of skin cancer also have very sensitive skin. In my experience, the 5% was strong enough to kill affected skin in 2 weeks with healing about the same 2 weeks. Also ask which ointment to use for the chemo cream wound care. My derm prescribes Mupirocin after surgery (not Neosporin) so after using chemo cream I use Mupirocin for healing as well.
