Can Using Fluoroplex Around The Crusty Areas Of Eyes Cause Fatigue?

i am using fluoroplex (fluorouacil 1%) for a month---my doctor told me --to get as close to the dry crusty areas by my eyes as possible---is that ok? also, i feel very tired---could that possibly be a side effect? i am only using it once a day but on 3/4 of my face?

Hello.

Fluoroplex is an anti-neoplastic and can have side effects like exhaustion. Try your best to avoid application near the eyes, and you shall be fine. Take your time and all shall be well.

Best wishes.
