Usual Treatment Cycle Typical Treatment Routine

The most important thing to know about using Curaderm-BEC5 is the end result is smooth, fresh skin that has a normal appearance. Stopping treatment before this point is not advised as cancer cells may still be present which will subsequently multiply.

Sunspots and Keratoses involves applying the cream 2 or 3 times a day and within a few days the skin will appear normal again.

In the case of BCCs and SCCs, the treatment process is longer as the lesion is bigger and malignant. In this case it is very important for people to understand the process because, during treatment the lesion usually appears worse than pre-treatment.

Curaderm BEC5 penetrates the skin tissue and moves its way around the healthy cells to find the cancer infected cells. Once these cells are located the two BEC5 actives are activated to perform their duties. The first active contains a receptor recognizing agent that has the key to the cancer cell door. Once inside, the second active finds the lysosome (stomach) of the cell and explodes the stomach, killing the cancer cell. This killing of the cancerous cells causes a slight inflammation. This can be evidenced on the skin surface through the lesion appearing bigger and possibly watery material will seep from the lesion.

There is no need to worry. This seemingly worsening of the lesion is just a sign that the cancer cells have been destroyed creating a disturbance to the skin tissue structure. In addition, Curaderm BEC5 is seeking out and destroying cancer cells that were not observable clinically (by the bare eye). What we see with skin cancers may be the tip of the “iceberg”. Underneath the skin the cancer may be much, much larger. This is why during treatment the lesion appears to be much larger than before treatment. The dead cancer cells are replaced with healthy normal cells. Despite the increase in lesion size it is most vital that you continue to apply the Curaderm BEC5 cream. The continued application allows more Curaderm BEC5 to locate cancer cells in the surrounding tissue.

The BEC active literally traces and seeks out all the cancer cells. It is imperative that the lesion area is cleaned with antiseptic and an occlusive surgical tape dressing such as micropore tape is used after each Curaderm-BEC5 application. The treated lesion is not allowed to dry out and form a scab.

The objective of Curaderm BEC5 treatment is to return your skin to be absolutely back to normal. Once the skin area has a completely new layer of skin with no more sores, inflammation or break in the skin surface, then the treatment is over. We are glad that it is easy for everyone to know when the treatment is over because everyone’s principal objective when treating skin cancer is to have skin return absolutely back to normal. Cancer free and scar free are of course also results you can expect from using Curaderm BEC5. However, if the treated cancer was originally a very large lesion, a very small amount of scar tissue may be seen at the end of treatment.
