Skin cancer: Has anybody had fluorouracil treatment?

@gingerw I am presently using fluorouracil all over my chest. Nasty red and raw areas and bleeding. Should I continue to use on these areas? I’m confused.

@nancyg25 You don't mention how long you have been applying this on your chest. What has your doctor directed you to do?
The fluorouracil can indeed cause the redness, blisters, raw areas! For me, it means it is working on problem spots. Okay, many spots!! Typically I have used it for no more than 10 days to 2 weeks at any given time. And sometimes when the reactions are really nasty, I lighten how much I use. Sometimes I have had to use a bit of Vitamin E ointment over the top because the discomfort is more than I can bear.
