Suggest Treatment For Solar Keratosis
I am undergoing treatment for my solar ketatosis. I have been using flororisin using brand name Carac. I have been putting it on for 12 days and my arms are all blistered up. They are so sore that I think it has run its course and I understand that it goes through phases and the last phase is eruption which I think I am in now.Is it safe for me to quit now. I have used a similar brand called efudex several times before and it is at this stage that I have quit applying it before.

Hello,
If blisters are forming then it will fall off after a few weeks. It may cause discomfort for a few weeks. However, you are suggested to visit a dermatologist & get clinically examined to ensure if you need any surgical interference like cryotherapy, scraping or photo-dynamic therapy.
