Topical 5-fluorouracil ointment for senile comedones: a case report.
The usefulness of topical vitamin A acid for senile comedones was reported by Kligman et al. in 1971 (1). It is, however, not available in Japan. We treated senile comedones with topical 5-fluorouracil ointment and found that it was very effective.
