Hello Trena

 

It seems from member comments that using the topical chemotherapy creams can prove to be difficult due to the side effects.  I just wrote a post where Dr. Green, a dermatologist, answers questions about using Carac and other topical creams.

 

My best suggestion for you is to call your doctor and ask for details about what results you should see and when.  It may be a case where you will use it for three weeks and then call to give a report on how your skin is reacting to see if you need to continue.

 

I wish you the best of luck.  Please let us know how it goes.
