Hi all 

I have been using Efudix cream on an area of Bowens on my leg without any issues, the next prescription I was given Flourouracil and have developed hives all over my body. Has anyone else experienced this result.

  • Hi  

    That sounds very unpleasant and I hope you've contacted whoever prescribed the Fluorouracil to you as they may be able to help.

    I haven't used either of these creams but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

    While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
