just finished 3 weeks in Efudix. I kind of slapped it about my face and am a scabby mess. Very uncomfortable and not good to look at. I’m not putting any more on atm. What cream can I use to aid my healing now. Sudacrem, Vaseline...?
Hi Lady Mary sorry I don't have any experience with this, but have noticed your post has not been answered. I wondered if you might want to ask the nurse this question so I will put the link HERE for you.

After I'd used Efudix for four weeks earlier this year on my nose and centre of my chest , I slathered both Vaseline and AquaMax all over the areas I'd been treating. I don't think it really matters what you use, as long as it's very moisturising and really helps the skin to move, expand and contract as you go about your day. Personally, I used to put on Vaseline when I was staying in, AquaMax when I had to be seen in public, as I found it did soak in a bit better. I believe Dermol is also very good - perhaps you could ask a pharmacist?
Good luck with the healing process. The inflammation on my face reduced quite dramatically very quickly, but my chest is still very red and tight - funny how different areas react in different ways.
