Hi,
I'm in the process of buring off my first ever skin cancer.
I did have a mole cut out previously, the doc was over enthusiastic...the mole was fine, it had just grown some and he wanted to be sure.. Being a tad hypoadrenal though. I got a huge ugly dark brown scar with the individual stitches showing from it. The scar cleared up when I supplemented on cortisol last year...after many years of having it.
This one is on my cheek. I just went to the GP for both...nop specialist..even for the cuttingout of the mole...
This time I'm just using a cream which burns it off...Fluorouracil cream (Efudix). You apply for 3 weeks ..it burns it ..and then wait 4 weeks as it sloughs off..which it seems to be doing.
Queensland is the world capital for skin cancer.<g>
So..GO TO the DOCS!!!!!
He may say its OK, or you may get away with the cream. The cream cost me $49.50 AUD..so about $30 US I assume?
