Hi All,
So like many of you after reading all the threads I decided to avoid MOHS surgery for now and try PS. I have a non-biopsied BCC on my upper lip which has been seen by three dr.s (two MoHS) Firstly, I wanted to post some photos of the plant I have found growing in abundance underneath my building as I am unsure whether they are PS. They look like the ones in most of the photos however they do not have red stems and seem more like the "dwarf" plants that have been mentioned in the thread. There is white sap but the plants themselves are about 10 cm at the most. Any input appreciated.
Secondly, I already am on day three of applying it. I have been applying one a day and leaving uncovered. I wash it off before going to sleep. Predictably the tumor formed a scab almost immediately which became thicker over the last two days. I did have other hot spots appear on my face that I treated as well but no scab formed really, just oozing. The real fear set in this morning, I woke up and the area was inflamed and looked infected. The scab came off but there was no "pit". This reaction could have been the result of me putting iodine on it last night before going to sleep after washing off the PS or not??? I also put antibiotic ointment on it as well as I was getting worried about secondary infection. I don't have a intense throbbing though it is MUCH more sore now then yesterday. The first three days were fine, no pain at all. SO question is, should i leave it for now and wait for the swelling and inflammation and pain to subside or should I continue to treat (this would be day 4) ANY advice would be appreciated, Thanks. Photos to follow.
