Basal Cell Carcinoma – Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

8 Treatment Options for Basal Cell Carcinoma

Topical Creams

Some topical creams are approved by the FDA to treat basal cell carcinoma and other forms of skin cancer. They work by gently getting rid of the lesion and would also be applied to deal with genital warts and actinic keratosis. Special substances in these creams can be spread on the lesions many times during the week to remove these signs. Unlike surgery, this treatment option does not leave any scars. There would be significant swelling and pain during the process. [8]
