A member asked:
3 months after using fluorouracil on my face i now have pink and brown areas that dont seem to be getting any lighter. are these new discolorations since using fluorouracil here for good or will they slowly go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Topical fluorouracil is well known to be causing skin redness, scaling and peeling. While the majority of skin changes may heal in couple of months, sometimes skin changes may last indefinitely. Your best reference remains your treating dermatologist who would be able to comment in the context of your treated skin disease.
