I am 58 yr old female. I had an anomaly on my lower right leg a few inches above my ankle that appeared over the last 6-7 years as a light brown spot the size of a dime. I took my first photo of it in 2018 and had been keeping an eye on it. Late in 2021, I noticed that it had become darker and ominous. I had heard someone mention in passing in an online video that frankincense oil had been successful in treating melanoma. Sure enough, I looked online and found studies have been conducted.

I first tried dabbing frankincense essential oil on the anomaly 3-4 times a day. After two weeks and no noticeable improvement, I decided to add curcumin (an active ingredient in turmeric) which has also been studied on cancer. I did this by saturating a small piece of cotton with frankincense oil, and then opening a capsule of curcumin and sprinkling it on the saturated cotton. I then placed the cotton on the anomaly and a band-aid over it. I did this daily for almost four weeks and the anomaly is completely gone.

I recently had an annual checkup with my primary and showed them the photo before I started treating the anomaly and they concurred that it appeared to be melanoma and gave me a referral to a dermatologist even tho I showed them that it had disappeared.

I hope this is helpful. It took some dedication to treat, but was better than going thru a biopsy and subsequently having a chunk removed from my leg, not to mention the cost considering my insurance deductible is $7500.
