Treatment with Curaderm varies in length. Â Treatment with Curaderm could take a couple of weeks or treatment could take well over a month, depending on how large the lesion is (and this is not always what you can see on the surface of the skin).
There is no fixed time for a treatment, you should only stop treatment with Curaderm when the lesion has completely healed over with skin.
The pH of the Curaderm keeps the lesion safe from infection during treatment and if you were to cease treatment early you will never know for sure if all the cancerous cells have been destroyed and hence leave yourself at an elevated risk of a reoccurrence.
I guess another reason to keep treating with Curaderm until the lesion has completely healed is because this is how Curaderm was tested during clinical trials. Â If you stopped treatment early then your statistical chance of success may be lower than those published about Curaderm, Â which has been almost 100% in some trials.
Dropped by your website to get info on how long to treat with Curaderm. I bought a tube to treat a superficial basal cell carcinoma on my temple that I’ve probably had for about a year.
Curaderm worked quickly to eat away on the surface, but surprisingly, one section did go deeper. The wound is weeping and raw, but hasn’t appeared to change over the last week. It also doesn’t appear to be doing anything around the red edge of the lesion.
By the FAQ page “How long will treatment take?” I am inferring that the skin will actually heal over when it’s done eating away the cancer, so I should keep applying until it looks like normal skin? The way it burns, it’s hard to believe it would heal while I’m still applying the cream.
Dear Gayle,
The stinging can be an indication that the Curaderm is still destroying the cancer cells. The stinging tends to calm down as the lesion starts to heal.
During healing, you need to start applying less and less cream making sure that you are still only apply it to the centre of the lesion and not to any red surrounding. A thing smear of Curaderm is all that is needed and be sure to still keep it covered at all times until it is completely healed over with new skin. You will also keep applying Curaderm until it completely heals over. This will help minimise scarring and also prevent infection.
t is very important to be careful when cleaning the lesion.

Cleaning Your Lesion
In regards to the rubbing and scrubbing, this is stated as not to be done (in the instructions above) as some people take this too far, especially during the healing phase. It is ok to lightly remove some of the white discharge that forms but, you need to be careful not to pick at it to much. The cream will still penetrate through this discharge as the flesh is soft. It is important to keep the lesion covered at all times so it does not dry out. If the lesion dries out, treatment will be harder as the skin toughens. If you rub or scrub at the lesion too much or let it dry out, you may cause scarring. The discharge and scabbing will fall off by itself if left alone and it will not extend the treatment process by long.
You do not actually need to use an antibacterial and in some cases is it best not too as it can add to skin irritation. Warm water is best in most cases. Some people use an antibacterial as they are worried by the discharge and do this for their own comfort.

Hello there,
When I saw Dr Mercola on one of the promotional shows that was the green light for me to try Curaderm. I have had a tiny red lesion on the side of my right temple for over 7 years and over the past 2 i’ve noticed it more. It was more of a sense that something was underneath. Both my parents recently had invasive procedures, my Mother had a basal cell carcinoma removed by Moh’s surgery and my Father used imiquimod to remove a melonoma on his back, so it’s clear that my family have some skin genes that may arise from time to time. After my Mother went through her procedure and the sadness I felt seeing her face with a huge hole in it (she sent me pics during the procedure), I decided to address some unusual things on my own face that were not going away. I went to my local GP who looked at it and said ‘we need to keep an eye on that’ and then sent me to a private dermatologist. The dermatologist took a brief look told me not to worry and then sent me home with a bill in my hand. I was not 100% convinced and was still bothered by this lesion, which was slightly raised and red. I could feel something under it – an awareness that something was not right. This lesion on my temple seemed like the best place to start so I ordered some Curaderm and applied it to see what would happen. I was amazed! Within 24 hours two unusual triangles appeared with some redness surrounding them, then it turned into a heart shape, and then into a white circle which now is throwing out the rogue cells. At times i’ve been really scared I have to admit because I was really hoping it was nothing and reading that Curaderm only attacks cancer cells I then knew that I did indeed having something that needs dealing with. It hurts quite alot at the moment but I feel that is because the temple has lots of nerves in that area and is very sensitive. I am glad that I have dealt with this now and not left it because in time it may have got larger and more cumbersome. Surgery would be out of the question being such a delicate area. I wanted to say how impressed I am with curaderm’s response to my fears and the information they sent me. My mind is now at ease and I feel confident to carry on the treatment until it is dealt with. Once I am healed I will publicly talk about my experience because I think this is an incredible product and after researching some of the alternatives that are more commonly used and how the side effects can be devastating I want to lend my full support to Curaderm and spread the word. Thankyou for giving us a choice. I look forward to seeing how you progress with your research – nature has all the answers we just have to reconnect with it :).
Thankyou Curaderm, i’m 1/4 way through my treatment but I feel and sense it’s working as it should.
Kirsty
