I did Efudex on face, ears and neck 6 years ago. I did it for close to 5 weeks which is 2 to 3 weeks longer than most people posting on these forums. Though it was a bear to make it thru 5 weeks there are huge advantages. I read about many people going back for subsequent treatments. I probably won't see Efudex for 4 more years. And actually, I wish I did 6 weeks. There was a spot on my neck that lit up. Ends up that a year ago it was ID'd as melanoma. I think if I did the Efudex for 6 weeks I would not have needed the surgery to remove the melanoma. ray.d0912@gmail.com Posted - 07/31/2012 : 21:17:32 I i am a male and I am about to start using efudix cream on my entire face can anyone tell me if I will be able to shave my face during this process Thanks Ray
