From the research I have studied, the symptoms are treated w skin issues, such as rash, itching, pain, ect. Talk with your physician about a treatment regimine to suit your symptoms. There are too many options to list, as well as, possible interactions that need to be monitored by a physician. I cant offer any advice to self treat as the interations with OTC remedies may react differently person to person. I hope this helps you some... even if the imformation is very limited. I pray you can findba treatment and releif... as if you are on this medication I'm sure you do not feel well anyway and this just adds to your suffering. God bless you and I really hope you can find something that works.

I have found that vaseline, applied really thick, helps more than anything except the pain pills. I have 3 more days of 2 treatments per day of Fluorouracil 5% cream. My face is an absolute mess. Very, very painful and itching. I have to apply the vaseline oftem because it dries up from the hear coming from my face. I wish I knew what to expect next.
