Solar Keratosis treatment
Posted , 6 users are following.
Just started the treatment with 'Edudix' after a week I had to stop and apply the 'Hydrocortione cream' to calm it down. My skin on my forehead was blistering and sore. After a couple of days I restarted but had to stop again after three days for the same reason.
Waiting now for the skin to calm down so I can restart.
I have to carry this out for a month. Its very embarrising to go out.
I have had the condition for fifteen years now and have tried all sorts of potions including a seaweed potion which started OK but failed in the end.
Will see how it goes and will post results.

I think the worse week was the third, never seem to get there.
Its now very red and sore with scabs all over. First thing in the morning is bad, skin very tight, dry and flakeing.
I sometime get a head acke but its all got to worth it.

Mine is still quite clear after over four years as I was told by my doctor that it could return. Its a shame that you had to stop as you was nearly there.
I don't know where you are from but I am in the UK. The hydrocortisone cream I obtained from my doctor on prescription, It was such a relief to use, it seems to calm the aggressiveness down straight away and lubricates the area. Well worth using if it gets unbearable.
Best of luck, but keep it up as its well worth it. Get back if you need anymore info.

But get yourself some Hydrocortisone cream before you start as a standby. It will be your best friend.

Does this mean Efudix is not working for me?

so push it to the point of irritation and keep it there for a fews weeks - have a month off - then recommence if needed

I realise it's pathetic to sound so vain. After all health is more important. But I'm 63 and the main thing going for me is that I have always had remarkably good skin for my age.
The consultant has already mentioned the creams so whatever it is, he clearly thinks it needs to come off. I'm educating myself about all the options and of the creams, Solareze may be less vicious. But maybe less effective too.
