5FU/CAL, any experience? (5 fluorouracil/calcipotriene)
Just wondering if anyone has had treatment for actinic keratosis on the nose or face? I just started treatment for multiple AK's on the nose with FU/CAL cream (5FU-Calcipotriene compound) I have read that it activates lymphocytes and wondering if anyone using this compound has experienced any changes

Immonocompromised CLLer with numerous warts.
I also tried
fluorouracil
cream and an immune stimulant cream, imiquimod, both ineffective. Is there anything new and effective for treating warts?

Fluorouracil
I was just prescribed
fluorouracil
topical cream for a fairly bad condition of actinic keratosis on my arms, legs, and upper chest. The dermatologist never asked about my medical conditions. I read that it may not be safe for kidney patients.

S-phase-dependent chemotherapy drugs, which interact with DNA or block DNA synthesis such as doxorubicin, cisplatin, or 5-
