Reaction continuing to increase (yea!) and the itching is starting to drive me CRRRRRAZY! Like with my face, the best way to "scratch" is not to scratch but stretch my neck around as much as possible. The skin pulling kinda feels like scratching.
Sleeping still isn't a problem yet (unlike with my face and chest), so I have high hopes that will be the case the next 2+ weeks.
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.
Pam,
