Very Sore Lips

Updated

I am a new Efudix user (week 3) with solar keratosis patches on my face, 8 of them. I am coping OK though as expected, not feeling pretty at this stage! I've read and re-read patient info. but don't see anything about very swollen and sore lips as being a possible side effect of Efudix cream. My AK patches are down each side of my face, nowhere near my lips. My worst patch is starting to ulcerate/crust, so another fortnight to go at least. I can cope with the discomfort, all except for my lips - any ideas? Hats off to all you guys for your encouragement!

Have you consulted your doctor?

Efudex has been known to cause some generalized reactions, including skin pain, irritation, and sun sensitivity.

Are you on any other medications? Are you making sure to stay out of bright sunlight while under treatment?

Once treatment stopped, swollen lips subsided over a period of about 4 days. Vaseline on lips was helpful..
