My Basil Carcinoma Success

By oscar

1 min read

I was using baking soda, vinegar, and others and it seemed to be working, but it came back after stopping. I bought a wart freeze-off kit and applied it. It is now about 75% cleared with a small scab. If it's still there when the scab falls off I'll freeze it again. It has been 2 weeks.

To follow up. I did freeze the smaller site about a week ago. I took pics of original and current. It's way smaller I have a small scab yet. It may fall off and heal or might freeze it up another time. I've had this thing years and it's just about gone.

 Very glad the condition of your skin is improving, <inline-mention user-id="2100170" username="oscar"/> ! I'm curious if you discussed these treatments with your derm or doc when diagnosed? Sharing this article we have on home remedies, with some caution that when trying anything new, especially if it could interact with other treatments or medications, you'll want to check with a healthcare professional: <a href='https://skincancer.net/treatment/complementary-alternative-medicine-home-remedies/' target='_blank'>https://skincancer.net/treatment/complementary-alternative-medicine-home-remedies/</a>.

Basal cells are known for being wide and deep, like an ice burg. They are not deadly but they are disfiguring. I would still can the area tested, the likelihood of wart freeze off kit getting all the cells is not likely. Unfortunately Basal cells usually need to be cut out. They are fast growing and spread wide. Hope this helps 😀

 Thank you for commenting, <inline-mention user-id="2087118" username="annalise"/> ! They are definitely downplayed by a lot of folks who don't realize how disfiguring they can be. It sounds like unfortunately the author will now have to have them cut out. I also wanted to share our Community page in case you want to share more of your perspective: <a href='https://skincancer.net/community/' target='_blank'>https://skincancer.net/community/</a>.

 I'm sorry to hear that, <inline-mention user-id="2100170" username="oscar"/> . As Annalise said, they can come back especially if all the cells haven't been removed. I hope your treatment goes smoothly and if you can, let us know what happens. - Nina, <a href='http://SkinCancer.net' target='_blank'>SkinCancer.net</a> Team
