Anyone know of a good Treatment For Skin Cancer?

Question:
Anyone know of a good cream for (what I think they call basil) skin cancer? This is definetly NOT melanoma, as this person would be dead by now. (Has had a "sore" on face that won't heal and hasnt for over 10 years).


Answer:
I just had a basal cell cancer removed last fall. It was above my lip and the second I have had. My dentist was the one who urged me to go to a doctor. My doctor removed it and another mole at the same time. Less than a week later I had a call telling me that I should come in so the doctor could talk to me about it. The call meant it was cancerous.

Basal cell cancers are the easiest form of skin cancer to treat. However, they do require surgical treatment. They put out roots that dig deeper into the body. After my doctor initially removed the cancer I had to go to a surgeon so he could remove more of the surrounding tissue to determine there were no roots. I don't believe that cream is going to take care of the roots.

And my doctor told me that I will have more of them. It may be 8-10 years from now but there will be more.

If there is any way possible I would highly recommend this person see a doctor.
