Applying skin cancer treatment

What your doctor may not tell you--or rather what no one thought to tell me.

Super tip from my pharmacist

Use a tiny brush to apply cream or gel sparingly to the affected skin only. I'm using a cotton bud but even that can be a bit bulky as a skin cancer treatment.

Using fingers is a no no--far too clumsy and applies too large an amount of the stuff to too large an area.

Day Five

Well, still alive hehe. The patches glow very red on the night time application and I do find everything itching a bit more than usual. Blood pressure rocketed to 169 over 89 yesterday but back down to 123 over 83 last night. So far, so cheerful.

Still wearing the baseball cap--only garrotted myself once yesterday. Stood on dog.


Thought for the Day

With such a low percentage of actinic keratoses turning into full-blown skin cancer, am I wise to be treating these patches at all? I could just be annoying them irrevocably into full scale attack.

To be discussed with new doctor on Friday. Yep, yet another one to do the cryosurgery. And no, it's not because I ask too many questions...at least, I don't think so...
