So, I have a small patch of basal cell skin cancer that started on my left upper cheek after repeated sunburns there. It stayed dark pink then started getting white bumps on it and raised areas and started spreading.
As I don’t have health insurance and the medical system is ridiculously expensive and won’t do a thing without an expensive biopsy. That, mixed with the fact that basal cell skin cancer is not life-threatening but just unsightly, I searched for over the counter self-treatment options and this is the treatment plan. It is based on science that highly acidic (or basic for that matter) environments kill cancer.
Materials: cotton balls, bandaids, hydrogen peroxide, Bragg’s apple cider vinegar
Technique before bed: 1. Wash area with soap and water. 2. Fill hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) cap with H2O2 and hold tightly against skin over area for 30 seconds. 3. Pull off about 1/3 cotton ball and dip it into the apple cider vinegar. Have two bandaids ready to apply. 4. Apply vinegar cottonball to problem area and apply crisscross bandaids on top (cover the cottonball completely). Go to sleep. (If you can’t handle a little burning pain, take an ibuprofin 15 min. before you do this.)
5. It will tingle or burn, depending on the depth penetrating, this means it is working. Hang in there. It will get bigger and uglier before it clears up, you are drawing up all the extended root system you cannot see on the surface layer. Parts may be red or black and skin will be rough looking halfway through- all part of it. 6. In the morning, remove the bandaids and wash with soap and water. Apply 30 second hydrogen peroxide in cap held tightly to the skin again. Wash with soap and water gently. Pat dry. Apply vitamin E or C oil or bag balm or mary kay night cream or some soothing cream. Put a dry bandaid on top to protect and not scare people and minimize questions. 7. Repeat steps 1-6 for up to 5 weeks or 2 days after red or black is completely gone from the skin.
Now, I caught it early and have been doing these treatments for 2 weeks and 1 day and I will show the pictures I took (tried to take them in the same spot, same light, same distance from the camera). I just have a little redness now so may be done in 3 weeks, will see. I hope you have found this information helpful.
Basal cell skin cancer 1 week into treatment. Bigger and more dark spots, the roots coming up.
