Fluorouracil treatment

Posted by bill60 @bill60, Feb 2 7:49am

I went to my dermatologist yesterday. I have sun damage on my face, legs and arms. I am have bumps on my leg, and it is itchy. He suggested I try the Fluorouracil treatment. He did tell me it will get red and may become uncomfortable. When I picked up the prescription I read the possible side affects. This scares me. Can someone who has gone through the treatments help me with some advise. Thank you.

I had to use this for 3 weeks 2x a day on precancerous spots on my scalp. I didn’t notice any side effects except my hair is thin in those areas.

I will start the same treatment on my scalp, and would appreciate any comments from experienced users.
