Anyone here ever used it for skin cancer prevention? I’m one week in on a three week application schedule, twice daily. Right now I look like I took a load of #2’s at close range. Miserable schnit it is.
When skin is sun damaged and is showing signs of pre-cancerous activity, this stuff will kill off the fastest growing cells which are generally, as I have been told, are pre-cancer cells or even cancer cells where the cancer hasn’t fully taken off and gotten into the hide deeply. The cream doesn’t smell or feel greasy after its rubbed in so that part isn’t bad. But since day 4 the small spots that have appeared are sore if touched but tend to want to itch. Double edge sword….itch, scratch = pain. Miserable crap. And that says nothing about the appearance one gets, hence the reference to the load of #2’s. Literally I look like I have the worse case of chicken pox ever or the gun blast. According to the doc I’m right on schedule for the sores to start oozing stuff before the begin to heal when I stop the cream applications. The dermatologist said I can expect to look tough for 6 weeks.
This is all a part of the war on skin cancer I am waging. As miserable as this crap is right now its still better than knife work and I’ve had plenty of that. My left cheek and temple look like Twin Cities road maps with scars from the surgeries I’ve had. I was just curious if others here have done this cream stuff and what kind of results you came away with. Does it really put off the cutting?
