Skin Cancer - Squamous cell - How do you treat it?

My husband had a thorn prick his ear and in about a week a small bump grew where thorn had been. He went to derm who took half of it off. The derm is waiting for some more lab results but confirmed with first it was squamous cell cancer. It hurts, but he is treating it with oreganol which does help. Any others with similar problem--how did you treat it best? Some say have it removed surgically. I think yes, but if it can be avoided and skin can heal on its own is best. I looked into ad -online of Perrins products which sound good. Anyone who tried that?

Cordelia,
Check out the information on www.cancervictors.net! It is a helpful resource of information in regards to all forms of cancer and feature survivor stories, a great forum and its free anyways! Let me knwo what you think!
On a personal note I hear B17 is a great cancer fighting supplement. I take a 500mg capsule and 10 Apricot seeds a day for prevention adn have heard of people taking more who have cancer. there is a lot of research out there supporting the information- so dont take my word for it. It is important we are well informed! also, Black Salve is a great cancer fighter as well.

Hello,

This is a very unusual story for two reasons.

Firstly, it would be very unusual for a squamous cell skin cancer to develop in a week, unless this whole thing is a coincidence. Pyogenic granuloma, yes. Are you quite sure you've got the name right? :)

Secondly, treat a squamous cell skin cancer by applying a skin care product? Avoid surgery if possible, because the skin healing on its own is best? This is scarcely understandable in conventional medical terms.

Best wishes,

Have to agree with Bellinger here. Usual treatment is surgery or radiation. Pyogenic granuloma or even sporothrix infection would be higher on my list than a cancer. A skin cancer would NOT develop this quickly, so the only way that makes sense would be the thorn stuck the skin where the cancer already was developing. Oreganol is not valid treatment.

God bless, best wishes
