Experiences with

Efudix cream

My dermatologist has suggested and prescribed the above medications for my face and neck for my ongoing battle with actinic keratosis and squamous cell carcinoma ( 6 mohs surgeries). Has anybody used this treatment for their skin? From what I read, it is a topical chemotherapy. It causes redness,

A bit off topic but I've been given Efudix Cream for pre cancerous skin things called actinic keratosis, GP told me it was "a bit of Dermatitis" Mmmm...... I knew it wasn't so went privately to see Dermatologist.

My question is- dad has actinic keratosis ( for around 25 years +) which was managed with efudix cream i.e would bring out rough skin patches and then clear completely, however since Jan this year, a section of these rough skin patches has not healed.

Currently treating these with efudix before further biopsies taken in a month or so with surgery to follow findings of positive results. I am aware that Acalabrutinib might be resonsible for encouraging skin cancers to develop?

Three weeks ago I started a course of once-a-day Flourouracil cream (trade name Efudix). This is for sun damage to my face. Three days ago I started what I think is a PMR flare and added an extra 5mg Prenisolone to my daily 3mg dose. There has been no improvement.

Is there any risk of damaging kidneys for a stage 3 CKD patient in taking the topical treatment EFUDIX 5FU in order to treat Actinic Keratosis on the scalp?

After all increasing my Magnesium intake has sorted the restless leg syndrome and Efudix sorted the sun damage........ P S has anyone developed measureable improvement to immunity following the third Covid19 jab? I am trying hard to shield while awaiting better news......

Does anyone have any experience of Efudex cream for solar keratosis or skin cancer? I was prescribed it by a dermatologist but wonder if our thinner skin reacts more to it? I used it on a couple of small dark patches for about three weeks and it was quite alarming, just so relieved I didn’t slap it on

Has anyone else suffered an "Efudix overdose" with a similar outcome?

Hi everyone I live in the Uk and have had dsap for several years, I am allergic to efudex so treatment is limited,I have read in America at York university they have been trying a mixture of Cholesterol 2% and Lovastatin 2% mixed with 96% base cream with good effects. Just wounded if any one in the Uk

Hi everyone after using Efudix for dsap I am having a bad reaction to it. Speaking to the doctor he said he has heard of freezing the dsap on my legs has anyone else heard of this please.

I have been diagnosed with severe DSAP of legs and arms, using efudix at the moment. I have been told of a blue light treatment that may help,but been told this is not available in the southeast of England has anyone heard of this treatment and where is it available. Fishpound

Medical history practically nonexistent prior to 65. Dx’d hypo (2015) of blood test and started mylan levo. First reaction in eyes and a sort of full body cascade continued for 8+ months. Stopped meds - reactions stopped. About 2 weeks after starting mylan levo I had what I described as a quasi seizure

My dermatologist ordered a series of tests because I don’t seem to be doing what most do after using efudex cream on a couple of spots on my nose. Does anyone know what this means? Negative ANA PTT-LA screen negative 36 seconds <=40 seconds DRVVT screen positive 58 seconds <=45 seconds Thx

These contain Tazarotene, Aldara, Solaraze and also Efudix. They are used on skin in the cream form and can assist preventing skin cancer development. Caring for Skin: There are stuffs can help lessening effects from skin treatment.
