Hello, all!
I started with Curaderm nearly 6 weeks ago. The lesion is on my back. It was 2.5CM by 2.5 CM. Now, after two treatments a day it's more like an open wound 4CM by 4CM or so.
The pain is unreal. I have a high pain tolerance, but let me tell you: The pain is spectacular. I call it "the burning time."
Anyway, I just want you to know that if you are in pain, and wonder if that's normal, YES. Yes, that's normal.
Now, how long will this go on? When will the healing start? The hardest thing for me is wondering when the wound area will begin to shrink, or show that there is a "light" at the end of this tunnel.
Look, I'm not angry, or bashing Curaderm. From what I read, some times it takes a while. I guess I just want some encouragement.
Thanks for reading, and may God help all of us.

Hi duskredactor, it's great that you are taking pictures, that should help you gauge any progress. I kind of feel bad for not being more encouraging about grinding it out with curaderm by itself. I don't have a problem with a treatment taking weeks, but once it slips to a year or more it just seems to me that a treatment should move along faster for one's sanity and pocketbook. Also, any cancer treatment can stall and the cancer may be more likely to become resistant to a slow acting single pronged treatment. I'd rather use a combo of some sort that can include curaderm either mixed together or applied on alternate times, even groups of days. I'm thinking along the lines of orange oil, topical pancreatin enzymes, cannabis, ammonia, coconut oil, melatonin, coenzyme Q10, iodine, aloe vera, caffeine, DMSO, ibuprofen, vitamin D, vitamin C, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, or petty spurge. |

Dan,
I have pictures for most days of treatment. It's not pretty.
The thing is, I see people who say it took "120 days" or "a year" or "18 months," but to not give up.
So, I don't know. I mean, how long should I go before I do move on?
I'll check the thread you posted.
Thanks for the reply!

Hi duskredactor and welcome! There have been mixed reports of success with curaderm on this forum. Like most topical treatments, curaderm seems to work best on smaller lesions and yours is on the large side. To me, 6 weeks is close to being a fair trial length to see if it is working. You might want to check out http://www.topicalinfo.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=410
I recommend that you take pictures going forward so you can objectively tell if there is healing going on. I have found from using other topicals that allocating rest days occasionally is helpful. I also like the idea of multiple or "combo" treatment approaches. http://www.topicalinfo.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=146 There are lots of other possible treatments to consider for substituting or combining with curaderm in this forum. Also, there is nothing wrong with seeing a doctor.
