Abstract

Topical 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is used more frequently to treat actinic keratosis. We are presenting a skin reaction as a side effect of this medication. Treatment for such cases of 5-FU-induced skin reactions is based on proper skin care and treatment of any superimposed infections. Medical providers should be aware of such side effects to provide their patients with proper instructions to avoid complications.
