Been a week now! So 2 more weeks of the treatments. Took pictures again this morning, but I don’t see the changes show up as much in the pictures as I do in the mirror. Just look sunburned and the red spots are certainly more red! Haven’t put any makeup on in 3 days. Today, just put on some tinted moisturizer to kinda even things out. Don’t feel uncomfortable with my “looks” at all so far. Certainly no fears of going out in public, which I was cautioned to realize might be an issue. Feeling pretty relaxed and at ease about the whole thing right now.
Diagnosed with pre-skin cancers and especially with my mom's skin cancer history (most recently 2 Mohs surgeries on her face) and my sun-rich lifestyle, my dermatologist recommended a round of skin chemotheraphy with the drug Efudex5%. Pictures she showed of other patients were intentionally startling. Forewarned is forearmed is the train of thought! No way to predict my reaction to the drug, but hope is it won’t be too severe. Treatment consists of applying 2xdaily for 3 weeks.
