Fluorouracil Recovery October 2016

These are pictures of my face after healing up, I was prescribed Hydra-cortizone Cream from my primary doctor to help with the healing, All that did was burn/sting my face, my daughter has Eucerine in the tub (thicker stuff) it helped so much with the pain and stinging.I also tried Cortizone-10 cream that left me stinging also. I used it for two days before going and getting the intense healing one that is thinner in consistency. I used it for four days clearing my face faster than the doctors cream.  I can tell the difference in my skin texture and color from before I used the cream and after. Would I do my whole fact at the same time again? NO!!! I would do a portion, I have a daughter I have to take care of and it was very hard on some days not to loose my temper (from the pain, you know how you lash out  when you don't feel good) So no I wouldn't recommend doing it all at once if you have little ones at home.  This is less than two weeks after, they said it can take up to six weeks. so I will post again if there is anymore changes for the better!

Fluorouracil and my Journey

I started my journey with Flourourcil on 9-30-2016, At first I didn't see where the doctor told me that it would burn? After the first three days, I really couldn't see a change, waking up on the fourth day I noticed the redness starting. On the fifth day I started noticing the burn and soreness when I would put on the cream. Taking only Motrin to help ease the pain.  I should have taken more pictures,the ones posted were taken 18 days after starting treatment.I really wish I had known the pain it would have caused, because if I had known I would have only done a portion at a time. The spot around my nose was the worst  there was no touching it at all. If I needed to blow my nose it was the worst pain! On my forehead on the left hand side was very painful also. (First pic shows it as the right because of the mirror)In between treatments I put antibiotic cream on to help sooth soreness. I continued doing this til the 25th . My face got a whole lot more red and sore by this time. So much so nothing was helping with the pain. I never knew really had bad the sun was for you, I thought I was immune to getting this skin damage/cancer. So please if you are out in the sun alot or not even alot please put on sun screen!
