Hi everyone. Registered just now but have been reading the forum for a long time.
In the past I have had bcc on my arm and squamous cancer on neck.
Was treated with fluorouracil and surgery.
Now my situation is that I have actinic keratosis on the entire left side of my face: cheek, temple, eyelid, a little on the forehead and also on the ear. Consulted with doctors, AK is just starting to develop on the skin but, AK lesions are many.
In addition to AK, a tumor has grown quite rapidly on my cheek. Did a biopsy, said it looks like a keratoacanthoma on histology, but there is a discrepancy in findings and opinions. They said that it is not cancer, but because of some indicators and rapid growth there is a threat of transformation into cancer.
What bothers me is that sometimes it bleeds. I shave carefully and don't touch it.
I'm starting Regencor and puzzled by the fact that keratoacanthoma and actinic keratosis are different diagnoses, but their treatment regimen is the same, according to the instructions.
It is recommended to apply the cream under a film or patch. I have no idea how to do this, as I have A keratosis lesions on half of the face and the ear.
The tumor on my cheek is large and sticking a patch on it tightly is a problem.
The recommendations are there, I have read the instructions, but because of these circumstances, I don't realize how to streamline the treatment regimen. I look forward to your comments. Thank you.
