Solaraze , history multifocal basal current possible squamous cell
In 2022 i had a scalp multifocal basal cell and had 3 sesions of photodynamic therapy , after treatment i had 7 puncture biopsies and were clear.
For years i have had regular treatments of cryotherapy in different areas .
About 6 months about i noticed a red itchy patch on my arm and on thursday saw dermatologist and they took a punch biopsy , to determine if AK or squamous cell.
I also had some cyrotherapy above lip and on cheek while i was there .
She suggested i used solareze everynight on face , chest and top of back for 90 days all over not in just a specific area , i would be interested to know if anyone else has been told to do this , i have read about cyrotherapy cabins for other health issues i'm not sure if this in an option and benefits solar damage .
I have never sunbathed but as a child i spent alot of time outside and have very fair skin, now i only go outside with long sleeves .
I would appreciate any comments , 2022 was a difficult year with the treatment and i came away on thursday feeling , here we go again!
Hi
. That's a lot to go through. My heart goes out to you. I hope you get lots of responses from the community and that they put you as ease. While you wait, I wanted to share this forum post: https://skincancer.net/forums/diclofenac-actinic-keratoses. Hopefully, it will help answer some of your questions. Keep us posted. We'll be thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member) Thankyou was interesting to read , i'm thinking about starting just on my chest and see how it goes , on my face i think maybe i will wait till after summer.
I do wonder if it is a harsh treatment for areas of my skin that are maybe ok and don't need treatment ,Have you considered a second opinion? Some doctors might be less confident than others and over prescribe treatment. It might put you at ease to hear the same recommendation from someone else. - Lori (Team Member)
