You haven't had time to properly try the Aldara suggested to you on 3/27.
You will not find a more effective medicine for treating SCC. If you want
to discuss Aldara for treating SCC in depth then let me know and I will post
a disposable email address so you may contact me directly. AW

Aldara is FDA approved for treating localized basal cells but IMO works much
better at treating squamous cells. You apply enough Aldara cream to cover
lesion 3X weekly for 4-10 weeks depending on the size of the lesion and the
extent of the inflammation that occurs, then allow the area to heal. After
the scab flakes off if there is any cancer left either repeat therapy or go
to the dermatologist for excision. Almost all the SCCs that I have treated
responded. Aldara also works well on actinic keratosis. AW
