Good morning, I’m new here
I’m about to complete my fourth week of Efudix for a AK on my face. I’d like to know if I can start using my factor 50 face sunscreen straight away or should I wait?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there, yes it is still a little scabby. Thanks for your reply, I will wait until it’s back to normal then
Hi Cornish 54 Yes hubby says that is what he would do but Consultant did say it would be ok to go on holiday whilst doing the treatment, but we left it until we got home. Good luck and hope it works as well as it did for my husband, No sign of a ything now just nice smooth skin. Keep it in the fridge and should it return you can use it again as lng as in date, we were told xx
Hi Harlyn - Thank you, it’s my first time of using this cream so hoping for good results. I didn’t realise it can be kept, my box says to use within 90 days of opening, it does seem a waste of the cream though!
