An actinic keratosis is a skin abnormality which may show up as a scaly, rough area on the scalp, neck, ears, face, or lips. It may also arise on the backs of the hands or on the forearms. Overexposure to the UV rays of the sun usually causes it. It usually takes years for these lesions to develop, and they are most common in older adults. Carac Cream, or Fluorouracil, can be used to treat such lesions, especially on the face and scalp.
Before using Carac Cream, one should look over the area to make sure there is no peeling, infections, or open wounds. Then, to use Carac Cream, one should start by washing the area with warm, soapy water. After drying with a towel, wait 10 minutes for further air drying.
Next, apply the topical Fluorouracil to the affected area. If the doctor suggests covering the area, it is important to cover it with a porous dressing rather than one that holds the air out. Otherwise, the Carac Cream can cause severe irritation and inflammation. After use, the cream should be washed from the hands completely.
While using Fluorouracil, the affected skin will wear away, forming a sore spot, where skin cells will eventually die. The doctor will need to monitor the progress to determine the correct time to discontinue treatment. Treatment may last only a few weeks, but it may take a few months for the affected areas to be thoroughly healed and back to normal after using Carac Cream.
There are no known interactions of Carac Cream with any foods or other drugs. Minor side effects are common. They include itching, burning, pain, and discoloration of the skin. Major side effects are usually rarer. They include allergic reactions, indicated by bloody diarrhea, vomiting, fever, chills, and abdominal pain.
People who have had Fluorouracil or Efudex reactions in the past should not use Carac Cream. People who have a DPD enzyme deficiency are warned to stay away from using this product as well. Carac Cream must be prescribed by a doctor, who will make all the decisions about the course of treatment and monitor the use of the product. Pregnant women need to tell their doctors about their condition, and breastfeeding mothers need to divulge that information to their doctors who are considering treating them with Fluorouracil.
