Can Aloe Vera Cream Be Used Along With Fluorouracil Cream For Mild Itching On Face?
I have been using Fluorouracil Cream, 5%, on my face for about two weeks, applying twice daily. My face is feeling pretty raw, and I am wondering if it would be OK to apply some Aloe Vera to my face in the evening. I don t want to do anything to reverse the benefit of the cream, but putting something on my face to help the itching would be nice.

Hi
Yes you can use aloevera cream on your face.Take a patch test of the cream before use.
Apply a little amount of the drug behind the ear or at the tip of elbow and wait for half to one hour and look for any symptoms of itching or rashes.If negative,you can use the cram.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
