The rear of the thing spreads to other organs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shurup Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I remember reading a post few years ago (I believe I got a link from this site). From what I remember, the guy was ordering it online, there wasn't any mention of any prescription for it, and I also think he got it from Australia. So use search and perhaps google and I wish you luck with your problem. Do go and see a dermatologist as others suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 You really need to have it tested if you suspect any chance of cancer as do not know of any topical treatment that is 100% effective. There is a treatment called Aldara (Imiquimod) available here as cream that is popular in Oz and quite effective but believe it is only used as insurance after other removals in most cases - at least for me that has been the case. A visit, removal and if suspect a biopsy could be well worth the expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 As several have said, if this is a mole that had grown or changed in appearance it is essential it be evaluated by a dermatologist ti rule out malignant melanoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourne1974 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I think this is the site where he bought it but not entirely sure. http://www.altcancer.com/Products/qblack-salveq.html Let me know how you get on because I'm interested in this route too. I have a few moles that may need attention. I will consider getting them checked out but how much does it cost? And the cost to get one removed by laser or CO2?

lopburi3 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Doctors appointment would be range of several hundred to a bit more than one thousand baht depending on doctor/hospital I believe. I paid 3,000 baht for visit/laser removal/testing/medication and followup last month at Vejthani (mid priced top line private hospital). They do not have CO2 but believe it is about the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBN Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 There is no room for self diagnosis and/or self treatment where moles are concerned. Malignant melanoma is a disaster if not diagnosed and treated early. Treatment is excision and not topical applications of any kind. Squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas are not a problem and are usually easy to diagnose and manage. These 2 types do not occur with moles but are separate leasions on the skin and may present like a small ulcer that does not heal or even just a rough patch of skin on sun exposed areas. Moles below the elbow and below the knee are particularly prone to become malignant and should be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to a specialist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
