I was told on Tuesday after waiting nearly 6 mths to see the dermatologist that the weird mark in my leg was in fact a basal cell carcinoma and prescribed Efudix to treat it. It’s not life threatening but all the same I’d rather start the treatment ASAP and avoid complications. I’ve tried local pharmacies including the hospital and a private pharmacy but all say the same, there is a shortage and a problem with supplies from the manufacturer. I can see from other posts that this has been going on for some time and I’m wondering what others in my situation have done? Should I go back to the GP to ask for the BCC to be cut out? I’m worried it will get worse and more serious if I leave it too long.
