How To Reduce Burning And Swelling In Face?

Hi Doc, My husband has used Flourouracil Cream 5% to treat his face for removal of possible cancer cells. His entire face is red and swollen. He has stopped the cream and followed up with the doc. that perscribed it. What can he use on his face now to ease the burning and provide comfort?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is drug induce sensitivity then this can be best managed with "Diphenhydramine lotion" but in my opinion if this is malignancy as stated here then better to have opinion from oncologist, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
