Hi- I haven't tried that but my dermatologist prescribed Fluoricil topical cream and that has quickly taken care of the Aktinic Kerstosis quite nicely so far.

Thank you so much for jumping in!
How often do you use the Flourucil topical cream on your face and scalp to keep the AK away?
My dermatologist is suggesting I use the topical cream once a week FOREVER, but I am concerned that there will not be any "crusting" to actually resiove the AK if I use it once a week.
(I think the idea of once a week is to keep the AK weak so it doesn't turn into squamous).
Have you ever tried PDT blue light therapy on your face? My doctor is offering me PDT for my face in March if I would like to try it, I am not sure what's best.
According to the internet, I would use the Efudex on my face for 10 days and the Efudex on my scalp for 4 to 6 weeks. The once a week idea concerns me.
Did you use the cream only one time for 4 weeks or did you do a repeat treatment at some time?
I assume you never changed your immune suppression to sirolimus since you had such a nice result with the cream.
Please let me know what your on-going treatment is going to be. It sounds like you are getting a great result and have an excellent dermatologist. Unfortunately, I keep having MOHS surgery.
