Howdy,
I recently was told by a dermatologist that I possibly had a "pre-cancerous" spot at the tip of my nose. She prescribed a cream, Solaraze 3% gel that ended up burning like hell and blistering. I was supposed to use it for 90 days. Right. I discontinued after three weeks. I've read conflicting opinions on the Curaderm, with some people calling it a hoax. Any ideas on how to stop this spot before he progresses to the full blown cancer?

Dear Becky, I used solaraze for 90 days for sun-damaged skin and the results were not very exciting. On your pre-cancer, I wonder why she didn't freeze it off with liquid nitrogen. Could you ask her or get a second opinion? |

Solaraze (Diclofenac sodium) belongs to a class of medications commonly called NSAIDs or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Other medicines in this category include over-the-counter analgesics like aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, etc.) and naproxen (Aleve).
You might want to look at this thread on SunSpot ES, which has a similar active ingredient as Curaderm but is much cheaper. http://www.topicalinfo.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=61
Other topicals that have worked for others include petty spurge sap (in the milkweed class), orange oil, pancreatin enzymes and aloe vera gel (Cymilium), bloodroot, eggplant and vinegar, vitamin C paste, Carac and Efudex (prescription), and Perrin's Blend. Am I missing any? |
