Photodynamic therapy for pre cancerous legions

WORTH IT$750
I am 48 and my doctor saw a legion on my nose she did not like . I met with two dermatologists and both recommended the levulan photodynamic therapy. The actual process was easy and not as painful as others described. I waited two hours in the office with the stuff on my face. I watched Netflix’s. The light was then put on for twenty minutes , not a big deal.
I looked like I had a bad sunburn. I drove home with my face covered and spent the next three days in my house in the dark. I was taking no chances.
I am not on day 4 and the blisters are looking better , but there is a lot of peeling .

Hi, thank you for sharing your story! I am considering PDT for a precancerous lesion on my face, as well as a basal cell carcinoma on my face, instead of undergoing Mohs surgery again. What were your results? Did the PDT treat the precancerous lesions for you? Any scarring from the treatment? Thank you for your guidance!
