Applying Efudex To My Face And How Often To Shave
Updated
Barry Says:
I am applying efudex to my face. I usually shave every 2 days. Should I shave everyday so that my facial hairs do not interfere with spreading the cream on my face?

I shaved once (with hair clippers, just to short stubble) before I started treatment, then 4 days later before I "lit up", figuring that I probably wouldn't be able to do it later on. I don't think the hair is an issue for application as much as trying to shave with a badly irritated face would be! I haven't used a blade shaver for years and would never try that while undergoing this treatment. Ouch! (I'm not a doctor, just a fellow sufferer.)
Having said that, after I discovered - here - the fluorouracil/calcipotriol combo treatment, I swapped to that after day 3 of Efudex/Efudix-only. So I won't look like an outlaw by the time I'm done. (Though I may look like an extra on Chernobyl ...)
