Pre-cancer cream treatments

Pre-cancer cream treatments

Pre-cancer creams are prescribed to kill pre-cancerous cells on the skin. Why do this? We know that some skin cancers arise from pre-cancerous cells. Pre-cancerous cells are less obvious to the naked eye. Often people believe that they have dry skin or eczema when, in fact, these 'dry patches' are pre-cancerous patches of skin. We know that a treatment with Vitamin D cream combined with a chemotherapy cream called 5-Fluoracil can decrease your risk of Squamous Cell Carcinoma by 30% for 3 years. If you have had multiple surgeries to remove skin cancer (especially from your face and scalp), you should strongly consider under-going one of these pre-cancer cream treatments. Schedule a consultation to discuss this option. It may save you another surgery.
