Author  Topic    FlaLadyB USA 12 Posts Posted - 07/20/2011 :  15:57:44     Ok... I have also just been given the prescription for efudex and I am wondering what everyone who has used it can tell me about what they looked like during the process. I also need to know what happened if you worked with the public. I haven't started it yet and after seeing the photos I am not a happy camper. I've had 5 Mohs surgerys in the past and yesterday had 4 biopsys done. Waiting for the results. Efudex is a first time for me because it will cost less they spraying the hell out of the rest of me especially my chest, face, arms and legs. I don't have insurance. I'm very fair, redheads complexion, and as we all know, the first one to crispy critter in the sun. I am afraid of using this and then looking like I am a burn victim in public. But, if I don't work, I don't make money to pay the bills. Long sleeves and what else? Can I wear makeup over it or does it make the skin THAT BAD that you can't and I get to be Halloween early? HELP? FlaLadyB USA 12 Posts Posted - 07/20/2011 :  16:23:07     ok... I just looked at the photos of the whole process with Edudex.. and there is just know way in hell I can do this on my face!
