I am still using the drug. The only problems are the itching it eventually causes while the skin is healing.

I have used Solaraze for 60+ days. Initially, I had no negative side effects. Recently, I noticed red, splotchy areas. They get irritated and burn when I use moisturizer or sun screen.

Solaraze - After a week of satisfactory use for solar kerotisis on the top of my head I developed tingling sensation, followed by painful hypersensitive skin, pain on top and right side of the head, followed by a rash on the right side and back of the head extending to the ear, neck and chest. Small watery or pus-like blisters appeared in various parts of the upper body turning into scaly sores. Now, three weeks later, the top, side and back of my head is highly sensivite to the touch, mildly swollen, very painful, itchy, multiple scabby sores, numb feeling, sore throat (difficult to swallow), right side ear ache with internal scabby sores and painful neck. Doctor stated initially that symptoms appeared to point to shingles. General pain killers give little to no relief. I ceased treatment when the tingling commenced after one week of use.

I have actinic keratosis on my face arms, and hands from 30+ yrs of exposure to sun. I started use 3 wks ago and within about 8 days developed red scaly patches and very dry skin. After 3 wks, I have itchy and somewhat painful patches. I have decided to stop use temporarily and ask my dermatologist about effectiveness if I use once a day vs. twice a day.

I have been using this once a day for over a year to prevent AK from forming. Since I have been using this I have not had any additional skin caner lesions and no side effects. I use it at night prior to going to bed and my skin has never looked better. I have not experienced any side effects from this gel.

I have been using solaraze for 30+ days for ak's on forehead. I had previously used aldera which I stopped because it made my skin break out and turn red. Solaraze gel appears to have no side effects for me and seems to be doing the job.

I have plantar fasciatis and have used this ointment. I do not feel any relief from this drug to my knowledge, as I still suffer from this foot pain.

Prescribed to treat actinic cheilitis on my upper lip. It has caused blistering and pealing of both upper and lower lip due to the difficulty of keeping it on the small area to be treated. I have stopped use and hope to have healing of the affected areas.

I have actinic cheilitis of the lower lip. I was told to use it once a day for three months. After three days my lip came out in blisters and started bleeding with scabs that took a long time to heal. I stopped the use.
