Best treatment for skin cancer on arm after lymph node disection

hmm, I just wonder if the weeping etc caused by the efudix puts you at greater risk for infection on lymphedema side?  I would think a clean surgical removal looked after really well would be the better option?  I am no expert though.  My lymphedema OT would be the one who I would pose the question too as she is such an expert in this area.  She works out of a cancer care centre.  It's kind of what's the worst of two evils. I am interested as I just felt something I want my GP to have a look at on the shoulder of my lymphedema arm.  Keep us posted how you go.

I've also used Efudix on my face.  It took a a week or so for my skin to react, then it turned red and a little weepy. Once I couldn't cover it in make up I resorted to little bandaids on my face. Not the best look but it heals very cleanly and quickly when the cream is stopped.  My skin specialist said this is a better option for a surface level BCC.  Good luck xx

Efudix  worked 100% for me ( on the face) as the lesion wasn't too deep.  My skin specialist prescribed it and she is quick to surgically remove anything sinister.  I would definitely try it first.

Probably the quicker its taken off the quicker it can start to heal. I would go the surgical removal if possible and use alcohol wipes or betadine wipes on the stitches to keep back infections.
