My experience using Zyclara 2.5% Cream (pump) for Actinic Keratosis

I was recently prescribed Zyclara for actinic keratosis on my face. I've been using it for about a week now, and I've noticed some significant skin reactions. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I'm wondering if it's normal to have these reactions, or if I should contact my doctor. The burning and itching are quite uncomfortable, and I'm not sure if I should keep using it. Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

My skin cleared up completely after using Zyclara! It was uncomfortable at times, but worth it in the end.

I'm on my third week of Zyclara and it's been a struggle. The pain and swelling were unbearable at first but I'm managing it now. I think I had a rougher time than most people, really.

I had to take a break from using Zyclara because the skin reactions were too severe. My doctor advised me to wash the area with mild soap and water, and it helped a lot. I am just about to start back up again. Literally just waiting a few days so it can calm down.

Did you talk to your doctor? It sounds like you're having a severe reaction. My sister used Zyclara for genital warts. Contact your doctor ASAP.

This is how I got rid of my actinic keratosis. Way better than freezing them every 6 months. Glad I gave Zyclara a shot.

This stuff is brutal but it does the job. I was freaked out at first but the side effects did go away by the end of the month.

I've been using Zyclara for a while and it's worked well for me. Just be patient and follow your doctor's advice.
