Yes, sir! I believe you are referring to Efudex cream. That is actually a brand name. It can be bought as a generic.
Unfortunately, I am all too familiar with the stuff. Last week I just completed a thorough treatment on both forearms. Man, that stuff will get you red! I go in for a checkup in a couple weeks. Lovely!
I will say this. The cream seems to work on areas where there might be quite a few pre-cancerous lesions, especially small ones. Somehow, only those little spots are affected. Your normal skin doesn't really react to the cream. Can't imagine how that is, but it's a fact. The areas that do react will get red, then eventually open up. That's when you want to stop putting on the cream. Then, they will scab over and heal on their own. Done.
This takes a while. For me it usually takes three weeks or so. YMMV. Still, when it is over you don't usually get any scars. I have a few scars from the freezing or the freezing and scraping.
I guess we can be thankful the doc can manage all this stuff early on because it grows pretty slowly.
