Does anyone know if Cymilium can be used as a preventive for Basil Cell skin cancer? I have had two BCC on my nose and was wandering about a preventive before a recurrence. Thanks.

Hi robert1234, I like your thinking. Topicals such as Cymilium work best when the cancer is small. Applying Cymilium before the cancer is even visible for, say a day every month or two, would lead to a fast recovery that would seem like prevention. One downside is that Cymilium has some ingredients to which one would not like to be exposed longer than necessary. These include diazolidinyl urea, methylparaben, mineral oil, petrolatum, polyethylene glycol distearate, propylene glycol, propylparaben, and sodium laurel ether sulfate. You can look these up in the Environmental Working Group Cosmetic Database

It still seems better than more skin cancer to me.
