CBD for skin cancer: what has anyone read/tried?

Has anyone tried CBD for skin cancer? I have of course been looking up anything and everything that could possibly help fight skin cancer and I have been seeing a lot about cannabis, cannabinoids (CBD) and essential oils that help protect you/heal you. What has anyone else tried or read?

  1. Hi ! I'm glad you asked, as I think others are probably curious about this too. Judy wrote this article about trying it: https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/legal-cbd-oil/. Hopefully we'll hear from other folks too. It can be hard to tell between those who are advertising and actual folks with skin cancer who've tried it. I'll be sure to send anyone who mentions it here! - Nina, SkinCancer.net Team

    1. Thank you for sharing. I can understand how it's hard to distinguish between those peddling something and those who really want to help others.

      1. As Nina mentioned, I’ve used CBD oil (non-THC). My dermatologist said that it is a non-inflammatory and even if it didn’t make a big difference with skin cancer, it definitely wouldn’t hurt. As I wrote in the article Nina shared, my new cancerous areas seem to have slowed down. Hope this helps! Judy, SkinCancer.net Moderator
