How to Use Carac

Carac Cream is the brand name for fluorouracil. It is a daily topical cream that treats multiple actinic or solar keratoses. These are skin growths that occur on the face or anterior scalp and are caused by exposure to the sun. These conditions are pre-cancers and can lead to skin cancer. Carac Cream can prevent cancer by blocking the growth and killing cells affected by keratoses.
