May 23, 2013I'm feeling pretty good for day 10. Although my face is more red and the itchy prickly feeling is more intense, I really don't have any pain. And as far as it feeling like a sunburn, I've had worse (which is why I'm here now). Honestly, after reading other Efudex blogs, I thought I would have my doctor on speed dial for pain meds.
After washing my face, my skin gets very tight, dry, and itchy. I look forward to applying the Efudex cream for some relief.
I'm feeling quite motivated to complete this treatment as I see the cream doing its job (4 more days of applying Efudex). It's interesting, yet not a surprise, to see that the left side of my face and neck (the side that is always exposed when driving) is worse than the right side.
At this point, I'm taking it day by day. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
==> By the way, a friend of mine made a comment about how serious I look in these pictures, and why can't I smile (you know who you are :). The reason I'm not smiling is because I wanted a good representation of my changes from day to day and smiling could possibly interfere with that, and the other reason is because I think smiling is going to be painful soon.
