I'm pretty active, and often shower in the morning before work, and then again in the middle of the... day after exercising, which leads to two questions: 1) Do I reapply the fluorouracil after each shower? 2) What's the best way to avoid getting the cream in my eyes when I'm exercising and sweating?
I shower 2 x a day, how often should I apply fluorouracil & how do I stop it stinging my eyes?

Why don’t you try the 1st application after your workout shower, then 2nd application sometime before you go to bed

The cream should be applied twice a day - unless directed otherwise.
Apply it morning (after showering) and evening (after cleansing & drying) carefully avoiding the eye area.
There is not much you can do to avoid the cream getting in your eyes through sweating - except to cut down (on the exercise) while using the cream.
