@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.

@chanda79 I was told to use the cream on my entire nose because the lesion was on the side of the tip of my nose. They told me to use aquaphor 20-30 minutes after applying the fluorouracil. That seems to be working well, except the area remains very bright red.
