3. Cutaneous metastases on the face or might spread to the face.
4. The presence of any active skin disease (e.g., eczema), tattoos or other problems at application site, (i.e., located on the face) that, in the investigator's opinion, could confound the evaluation of the rash or make topical application unacceptable
5. Hair on the face (e.g beard) which would interfere with the application of the study drug or its evaluation.
6. ANC \<1,500/mm3 (or\<1.5x109/L), or Platelet count \< 100,000/mm3 (or \<100x109/L)
7. Abnormal renal functions: Serum creatinine \>1.6 mg/dL or 142umol/L (SI units) or calculated estimated creatinine clearance \<40 ml/min1.73 m2 based on Cockcroft and Gault formula.
8. Abnormal hepatic functions: Serum Aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine tansaminase (ALT) \>5 institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). Or Total billirubin \> 2 x institutional ULN or \>5 x institutional ULN if documented liver metastasis.
9. Any clinically significant safety laboratory results that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would place the subject at undue risk if the subject were to participate in the study
10. Any clinically significant finding on the physical examination that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would place the subject at undue risk if the subject were to participate in the study
11. Systemic lupus erythematosus
