While the product is very effective, its use, esp. around the face, can be very painfull after several days of applications.

(1) Very important instruction... I learned the hard way: Wait at least 10 minutes (20-30 even better) after washing applicable area. Water increases the rate of absorption. (2) the nose, and the area on each side of the nose and mouth absorb higher rates of Efudex, and may become hyper-sensitive, so it's best to apply less to these areas. This is my third time on Efudex in the last 7 years. Other times were 7 years ago and 5 years ago.
