Picato for Keratosis Reviews

"After using this treatment over 2 months ago, the places on my face (cheek and nose) are still red. It caused huge blistering, pain, and looked like the worst sunburn you can imagine. Doctor says the redness will go away."


"I used Picato 150 micro grams 4 times on my ears over a period of 5 months I have had a problem for nearly 6 years, 3 biopsy 3 freeze treatments 7 tubes of efidix cream the only thing that worked was Picato cream. Sorry to say it has been removed from the UK market, I think one more dose would have cured me completely. I am waiting for a referral to my local hospital to see what they recommend. Please bring the cream back as I have to keep out of the sun and take 25mg vitamin D. I am a UK citizen."


"Works quickly, back to normal in approximately 1 week. Some spots returned after about 6 months and required a second treatment. Coupon available from manufacturer."
