“…But will the virtues of 5‐aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy stand the test of time? Similar excitement was experienced years ago when 5‐fluorouracil applied topically was found to selectively eliminate atypical cells in the epidermis whether or not one could distinguish a clinical lesion 2 . Then just like with photodynamic therapy, different types of precancers and cancers were soon being treated with topical 5‐fluorouracil 3,4 .…”

“…Moreover, capecitabine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and especially 5‐FU could cause hyperpigmentation in other places such as tongue, palm, and soles besides the injection site through the upregulating the activity of melanocyte‐stimulating hormone [61]. Although topical 5‐FU is applied in the treatment of vitiligo through its antimitotic activity, usage of this drug systematically could make hyperpigmentation on extremities and tongue [62–64]. When 5‐FU are used systematically, it destroys keratinocytes and proliferates melanocytes.…”

“…Topical 5-fluorouracil is associated with the following cutaneous adverse effects: allergic contact dermatitis, conjunctivitis, corneal irritation, erosions, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, irritant dermatitis, onycholysis, photosensitivity, and secondary bacterial infections [ 9 – 11 ]. There are also several reports of individuals with a prior history of facial seborrheic dermatitis or rosacea experiencing a flare of their dermatosis after application of 5-fluorouracil to their face [ 12 – 14 ].…”
