LIP CREAM

As Charlene and I have had a significant amount of sun exposure over our respective lifetimes we take the risk of skin cancer very seriously and visit Debra, our dermatologist, regularly. On occasion she has noticed something that bothered her enough and pulled out her scalpel to perform a biopsy just to be sure, but more often she just points out spots that are slightly suspicious for which she prescribes a topical chemo cream that once applied to a spot can identify any pre-cancerous skin by a reaction which gets irritated and red which  leads to continued to use of the cream for a few weeks until the spot erupts and then scabs up and falls off leaving completely soft, healthy skin. Since moving to SW Florida I noticed that after a day at the beach I had a spot on my bottom lip that would turn white and feel sore. I decided to use the same chemo cream on my lip not realizing that the reaction was going to be so severe that I could barely open my mouth. It was truly as bad as it could
