Hi,

Has anyone successfully used oil of oregano on a basal cell carcinoma? I noticed a red spot on my thigh and thought it was an insect bite (though no pain or itching.) For the past few days, I've applied oregano oil on it and covered it with a band-aid, once a day. It seems to be changing — maybe a bit less red — but today I googled skin cancer and saw photos that made it clear that it is basal cell carcinoma.

My impulse was to make an appointment with my dermatologist, but after reading about BCC on earth clinic, I am thinking Curaderm might be a wise move first, right? But I'm curious as to whether anyone has used oregano oil, and if it was effective.

Thank you!

Pav tree resin ointment (google and buy online). It is irritating but it works. My husband complains about the itchiness. Use it till skin is no longer irritated by ointment. Usually best to consult doctor to make sure not more serious than basal.

I am also using oregano oil. The first time I put it on, the BCC burned sooo bad and then burst and bled out. I have continued putting it on 1-2x a week, and the BCC has shrunk down to basically nothing and is almost flat to my nose. I apply castor oil after the oregano oil and it seems to be working well. I will continue this protocol until the tissue looks healthy and I see no more evidence of cancer.
