Imiquimod
basal cell carcinoma
"I guess it is effective, but not pleasant.  My first experience was on my forearm - it quickly started to look like a nasty cigarette burn.  Which I guess is good because you want your body to "react" to the cream...it DID!  But it looked horrible - and you're not supposed to cover it so it can be embarrassing because it looks like something you just keep picking at for WEEKS.  I have lots of freckles and when it healed it was completely white - so I guess better than an actual scar but it is quite obvious against the other freckles, nonetheless.  I'm going to try "needling" to better distribute melanin cells back to that white area.



I'm just getting ready to start on a small spot near my ankle which should be much less noticeable,"
