Topical Medications for Melanoma: About this Treatment
About Topical Therapy
A topical skin cream may be an option when a patient has very superficial melanoma on their head or neck and/or when surgery may not be possible.
Doctors may use a prescription skin cream that is very effective for certain subtypes of melanoma, particularly melanoma in situ, which involves the top layer of the skin (epidermis).
A prescription skin cream is an option for:
- Melanoma in situ on the face, head or neck on an area that is not feasible for surgery, or where the surgical margins are too indistinct to know whether the melanoma is removed on pathology
- As an additional treatment after surgery has removed all or most of the melanoma
