Posted on Wed, 8 Jun 2016
Question: I have a 1 cm blister on my arm after using Picato Gel 0.05, is this anything to be concerned about? Is there any think I can use on the other treated areas that are dry and red.

Brief Answer:
Dont use it

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Blisters are not normally seen after picato gel and this is side effect and it should be stopped immediately. This looks like serious irritation and you should see dermatologist and replace picato with Imiquimod or 5-FU cream. Also dynamic phototherapy may be beneficial.

Wish you good health. Regards
