What Types of Skin Cancer Can Be Treated Topically?
Topical treatments are primarily used for non-melanoma skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. They are also sometimes used for actinic keratosis, a precancerous condition that can develop into squamous cell carcinoma. These treatments are less commonly used for melanoma, which tends to be more aggressive and may require more extensive treatments.
