Are any of you using chemotherapy skin cream from your dermatologist to treat skin issues? How do you feel after applying the cream and are you happy with the results?

My wife has dedicatedly (to extreme pedantry) applied the chemo creme until the tube ran out (a few days more than time suggested). 5 spots above eye brows/below hairline.

Now that skin has 'healed' it does not look to have worked.

I had an SCC (IIRC) on my forearm and was able to be put on a trial cancer cream (can't recall name but still have some tubes left).

This was close to my experience as well. The skin turned red and blistered (as expected) but no other side effects.

It may not look like it worked but a punch biopsy might assist to confirm the pathology.
 
Efudex is what I have for some skin issues. It is prescription only to knock off stuff in between visits to the dermatologist.

Straitman, am not very tech savvy - could you clarify different browser? If I use a different device - eg a laptop and a desktop on the same wireless connection, is that then considered a different browser? If not, how do we access a different browser?

probably Picato. Works differently to efudix. Supposedly not as much damage to normal skin.
