Welcome to day 14, a whole new ball game. Still not painful, but after washing my face, neck, and chest the air drying process has become unnerving. And applying the Efudex cream burns like holy hell, but it's all temporary and goes away after several minutes. My cheeks (just under my eyes) are the most sensitive and are almost driving me to insanity today...probably because my skin is raw, scabbing, and cracking. It feels like little biting ants are crawling across my face (this is the nerve-like tingling) The Eucerin Aquaphor is a miracle soother!!
I've had some friends tell me, "I find it hard to believe that isn't painful" and "Sally, there's no need to be stoic." I'm just not a big complainer and I guess I have a different definition of pain or maybe it's my high tolerance for it. Pain for me is a migraine for 3 days, bone spurs and arthritis in my shoulder, or rehabilitation after having my shoulder joint replaced, twice! This Efudex treatment doesn't come close to pain for me...and I am grateful.
