I'm treating a basal cell carcinoma on the side of forehead w/efudex cream& since then it's been bleeding. normal? when can i expect bleeding to stop?

Need more info: It is not unusual for bleeding to occur maybe from trauma e.g. rubbing to hard on the lesion but may also portent sometime more serious. You must return to the physician who prescribed the Efudex and have him/her re-evaluate the lesion.
