Actinic Keratosis
Other Names : solar keratosis
See also : Skin Cancer
Symptoms
Actinic keratoses are a possible predictor of skin cancer. These red patches caused by sun exposure are made of abnormal cells that can mutate into malignant cells in the basal, or lower layers of the skin," says Grimes. "Squamous cell carcinomas are another common form of skin cancer, and one that causes nearly 2,000 deaths annually.
Home remedies
- eggplant : Scientific studies have confirmed that BEC5 cures skin cancer. It has proven effective in treating over 80,000 cases of skin cancer.
- Radium Weed : An active ingredient of E. peplus sap has been identified as ingenol mebutate (PEP005). Studies show that when Ingenol mebutate is applied to the skin it not only kills the cancerous cells but also recruits white blood cells known as neutrophils that appear to reduce the risk of relapse by destroying any residual malignant cells that could allow the tumour to re-grow. An Australian company called Peplin Biotech is conducting research and developing a gel from the sap of Euphorbia peplus as a simple topical treatment for certain skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas.
Warnings
If you do suspect you have a cancerous lesion and want to treat it with BEC5, health practitioners strongly recommend that you consult with a doctor before treating yourself. Your doctor can perform a biopsy to determine whether a skin lesion is cancerous, and, if so, to confirm the type of cancer you have. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Experts do not recommend BEC5 treatment for melanoma because this type of cancer spreads so fast and once it spreads, it is often fatal. Therefore, surgery is recommended instead. Certain other skin cancers may also require surgery. For this reason, health practitioners recommend seeing a doctor first for a biopsy to confirm cancer type before beginning any home treatment.
