Should Sex Be Avoided During The Treatment Of Skin Cancer With Fluorouracil Cream 5 Percent?
My husband just started using fluorouracil cream 5 percent on his face to treat skin cancer. I want to know if oral sex should be avoided during his treatment...as his skin cells come off...if my vaginal tissue is exposed to this...how will that affect me. Also, what is the cost for consult?
