AB A  57-year-old  woman  presented  with  red  and  scaling  skin  on  both  arms  (Figure  173-1)  and  a  request  for  a  prescription  for  5-fluorouracil  (5-FU).  The  patient  had  blue  eyes  and  white  hair  and  was  found  to  have  2  basal  cell  carcinomas  (BCCs)  on  her  face  and  shoulder.  The  patient  stated  that  5-FU  had  helped  her  arms  in  the  past,  but  that  the  scaly  lesions  had  returned.  She  avoids  sun  exposure  now,  but  acknowledges  receiving  too  much  sun  exposure  while  growing  up.  Another  course  of  5-FU  was  prescribed  for  her  arms  to  prevent  new  skin  cancers  from  forming.
