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 36 (Recovery Day 22)
There was quite a bit of peeling of my scalp for a few days this past week. If I rubbed my hand over my head a shower of skin particles fell on my desk. Other than that, things look pretty much the same as last week. My face looks normal from a distance, but there is a residual redness left over in the Efudex-treated areas. And the areas that were the most red during the treatment (my upper cheeks, just under my eyes, and the AK on my left cheek) are still redder than the rest.
