I first used Efudex on my scalp about 10-15 years ago. After recently noticing that the red scaly actinic keratosis (AK) on my cheek looked very similar to the squamous cell carcinoma that was just cut out of my arm, I decided on a new round of Efudex on my scalp and face. My dermatologist said it shouldn't hurt. Let's see what happens.

Day 21 (Recovery Day 7)
This morning I noticed that there was actually peeling and flaking skin
on my right forehead and cheek. It was visible first thing in the
morning where the vaseline had rubbed off of my face overnight. The
loose skin was gone after a shower, and any new peeling probably won't
be visible until the new layer of vaseline rubs off tonight. But maybe
the Efudex has worked, after all.
