Topical Medications for Melanoma: About this Treatment
Types of Topical Skin Cream
Imiquimod is a prescription drug that is put on the skin as a cream that can stimulate a local immune response against skin cancer cells. For very early melanomas (mainly melanoma in situ) in sensitive areas on the face, some doctors may use this treatment if surgery might be disfiguring or cannot otherwise be performed. It can also be used after surgery, especially if the pathologist/dermatopathologist can’t tell if the cells at the edge of the specimen represent melanoma or sun-damaged pigment cells.
