I have stage 1 lip cancer and had it removed by stretching my lower lip. It seems to have returned so i was prescribed fluorourcil cream to put on my lower lip. Anyone familiar with this creme?

Many people in this community have experience with topical treatments for skin cancer recurrence, and fluorouracil cream is one option that dermatologists and oncologists sometimes prescribe for certain types of skin lesions. It would be valuable to hear from others who may have used similar topical treatments - please feel free to share your experiences or questions about managing lip area treatments, as this could help others facing similar situations.

I used it on my skin and it didn’t take care of my issues, I hope you have better luck. I have had over 25 surgeries with my squamous cell carcinoma. And now taking xeloda. Wish I knew someone who has used this medication and if it worked
