| Abstract | EfudixA cream or topical 5% 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is an antimitotic cream used to treat premalignant and malignant skin lesions (1). Although it commonly causes cutaneous irritation, allergic contact dermatitis is uncommon (2). There is only 1 previous report of contact sensitivity from stearyl alcohol in EfudixA cream (3). |
