I'm about to begin using fluorouracil 5% cream for a spot on my forearm. When I fall asleep and roll over, my face lays on the area. Should I worry about it getting in my eyes, nose, or mouth? Thank you
Fluorouracil application before bed?

Do not use fluorouracil topical on your eyelids or in your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse with water or saline if this medicine gets in your eyes.
