Can you remove skin cancer (very small area) with salicylic acid?
Question:
Answers:
A customer told me about her father-in-law who had been scheduled to have surgery for his skin cancer in two weeks.
He put tea tree oil on the lesion every day. By the time of the scheduled surgery, the lesion was completely gone and no surgery was required.
I've subsequently used tea tree oil on a suspicious irregular red spot on my face. Each time I do that, the irregular red area goes away. I've often not kept up with it and the red spot has returned several times.
Each time I've attended to it for a few days, it goes away again. So wasn't a fluke that the tea tree oil worked the first time.
BTW, I've never met anyone who has had a skin cancer removed surgically who didn't subsequently have several more lesions appear.
That's because surgically removing the first one to appear activates the inactive sites.
Good luck and be well.

You can, but see a doctor. You may spread it.
You cannot "remove" skin cancer. Once the cells are in your body they are always present and will eventually show up else where. Salicylic acid is typically used for removal of caluses and acne. I dont think it will be effective in removing this small area.
No this does not work. Skin cancer is very very serious so you have to see a dermatologist if you think you have it.
Are you crazy? See a doctor!! Skin cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer there is when malignant! Dont EVER take any chances with cancer! You see a doctor for treatments.
Nope. Skin cancer isn't just superficial. You need to see a dermatologist to have it removed and sent off to a lab to determine the type of cancer. Some are more aggressive than others. Don't hesitate to get this done. My best friend lost both of her grandparents to skin cancer.
