Hi back in February I noticed a mole/spot getting bigger , so appointment was made with doctors, one doctor said nothing to worry about, but I asked for dermatology opinion, this was later cancelled by my doctor, no reason given, weeks later the mole had grown again so another appointment was made with doctors, but i didnt get to see a doctor so I included photos in the econsult, i was informed by text they thought it was a bowen lesion and was told to collect Bascellex cream from chemist and apply for 12 weeks, ie use 3 times a week. within weeks the mole become very angry looking and sore but again i was told in text that is the way the cream works. I made a doctors appointment seen by lady she was very shocked and said it had ulcerated and i was told to stop using the cream, and took photos and sent them onto dermatology, I was later informed dermatology did not wish to see me,
So no biopsy and no appointments at all with dermatology.
Im now into the 8th week of treatment, using Bascellex 50 mg/g cream is a topical formulation of imiquimod,
during this time I've had night sweats, very dry mouth, waking up with burning tingling throughout body, basically not feeling good at all, extremely tired all the time.
Hence, my mole has flattened off and healed well, im now about to make an appointment with doctor to see if I have to do another 4 weeks. Ie making it a full 12 week course.
Anybody else had to do a 12 week course and had the side effects like this, as it has me exhausted.
