I have a ? Basal CC on my forehead . I’ve got flororacil cream for 4 weeks finishes next week.
it has become very inflamed and red which it does say on the leaflet.
Do I need to see a skin specialist ?
thanks
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I had my BCC removed by surgery but my husband had one treated with 5-fluorouracil cream and, if you look at the leaflet I've linked you to, it tells you when to get in touch with your doctor if you think your reaction is too severe.
Do pop back and let us know how you get on.
