Skin cancers. Mixing Efudex with DMSO

[CUDA]

I have not played Doctor in 50 some years...

Back then I was a Gynecologist working on Dermmatology

4 months later, Do you recommend this or waste of time?

The males in my Father's family seem to be immune to sun caused cancers. My case I guess it's pay back for some other mean tricks genetics played on me. My dermatologist, every year the first part of September raises hell with me but never finds anything. I know how lucky I am. My Admiral has to be VERY careful. Been thru 3 or 4 surgeries on her arms. I know other people that have issues. My brother's wife for one. Folks, it really is serious. It can spread, Metasticize?, and kill. Even after 75 years, getting checked every year, I know how lucky I am. Please be careful folks. PLEASE!!

Yes it worked well. I ended up doing my entire chest and shoulders as far back as I could reach. Worked much faster than Efudex alone. I need to do my back now. I had a lot of spots show up where I didnt even know I had anything but the Efudex attacked it.

Is all of this available over the counter?

Do doctors recommend these procedures?

Where you have multiple small pre-cancerous looking spots, yes. I've had to do the Efudex thing twice on my face, with it always looking like I'd had a small acid-bath in the affected area. The suspicious moles, on the other hand, always get cut off and biopsied.

[Mr. Demeanor]

Efudex is prescriptio only and its EXPENSIVE but if you have insurance its def worth having around.
IM not sure all Dr's like it because they dont get to charge you for a surgery for every little bump that shows up.

That **** F'd me up. Burned the hell out of my face. Dr said I had a bad reaction to it. Worst she had ever seen. I was in misery for a couple weeks.

[Mr. Demeanor]

BTW Jay if I noted a bit of sarcasm in your post feel free to move along. If not then again, thanks.

I will discuss this with dermatologist when I go see him.
