On 01 February, my dermatologist prescribed a chemotherapy cream called 5-fluorouracil or 5-FU to treat solar keratoses and possible basal cell skin cancer of my lips. I severely sunburned my lips several times the last two years while out hiking in the mountains. I applied the cream for two weeks. The last day of application was Monday evening the 13th. The lips look horrible and gross – so no photos.

Egads, I hope you don’t have skin cancer on your lips and the cream helps a lot!
Last fall I burned my lips badly while photographing an air show. I hope this lip treatment isn’t in my future but it could be! I had a precancerous cell removed from my nose last year. I am hoping it doesn’t come back.
This has not been any fun. Whatever you do, get an annual checkup with a dermatologist. We spend a lot of our time in the outdoors, so it pays to get checked at least once a year.
