Thanks Dean. I didn't know that stuff was dangerous for dogs. I've been using Efudex for 14yrs. Very effective stuff. It's a fluorine compound and fluorine is the strongest oxidizer in the Halogen series. Hydrofluoric acid, HF, will dissolve glass and is used to etch glass. Efudex and the other creams like it only attack skin cells that are "growing too fast", ie pre-cancerous spots, and does not react with the healthy adjacent skin. I have a tube on the desk beside me right now. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is sensitive to UV exposure and prone to pre-cancerous skin spots. At the very least it can prevent you from needing more invasive treatment. You just have to be careful using it. I treat the backs of my hands every winter and always get new spots to light up.
