Efudex cream, also known by its generic name fluorouracil, is a topical chemotherapy medication primarily used to treat certain skin conditions, including actinic keratosis and superficial basal cell carcinoma. It works by inhibiting the growth of abnormal skin cells, effectively promoting the destruction of these cells. The cream is typically applied directly to the affected area, and treatment duration can vary based on the specific condition being treated. Patients may experience skin irritation or redness as side effects during treatment.

In the UK, whipping cream is just a type of cream sold for whipping. (And actually, double cream works better for whipped cream toppings). Whipped cream is a type of fresh cream, in the sense that double cream, single cream, clotted cream etc... are all types of fresh cream. Whipped cream is not "the same as" fresh cream, it is a member of the "fresh cream" group. If a recipe just says "serve with fresh cream", it's best just to pick a type of cream that suits your needs (i.e pourable or non-pourable).
