Squamous cell cancer. Prophylaxis after

Hi  everyone. I would like to know the opinions of those who have experience with regencorr. I am just starting to use the cream, but after reading the instructions three times I still have not found the answers to a couple of important and basic questions for me. Firstly, I had a squamous cell cancer treatment a month and a half ago, several tumours, surgical removal on my face and radiation on my head, scalp area. I use the cream as a prophylactic, but the skin area on my head has not healed very well. I have had bacterial infections and treatment with antibiotics.  The instructions for use of regencorr mention that it can also be used after radiotherapy but there is no mention of poorly healing scars. So the question is, can I use the cream under these circumstances and still have to use the antibiotic ointment?                              I have several small areas of skin with actinic keratosis. A couple of them have severe inflammation, cracking and bruising. Can I apply cream with severe skin inflammation and cracking?  Should I allow or avoid applying regencorr cream to bleeding, ulcerated skin areas or apply the cream around them?

  • Your doctor is very passive in his actions. it is better not to waste time and go to other doctors, and as soon as possible. Regencorr is an immune stimulating cream, and antibiotics suppress immunity. I myself have heard from doctors that a course of antibiotics is actually a course of chemotherapy, after which you need to restore immunity. Maybe then it is better to mix regencorr with antibiotics, and at the same time, apply alternately or somehow apply in layers, for example in the center of the pus wound apply antibiotic ointment, and lubricate the edges with regencorr cream. In addition, the ointment is usually much denser than the cream, the more it will be denser than regencorr cream, and this can make it difficult to absorb the cream. Strengthening the effect of the antibiotic ointment by adding ceftriaxone powder is a good idea.

  • Yes, I didn't notice the doctor's effort to help either. Moreover, when I went to see the doctor a week after the radiotherapy I told him that I had a purulent inflammation on my skin and he said that an infectious inflammation was no longer his area of expertise and that he would refer me to another doctor. Seeing my bewilderment he prescribed me an antibiotic. Redss advice helped me a lot. I am now using antibiotics with regencorr cream at the same time. The wound that was irradiated with radiotherapy has stopped festering. But, the problem for me now is, can I stop using antibiotics now and switch to prophylactic use of regencorr only and when it can be done? Because visually it is difficult for me to assess the condition of the skin on my head myself, and my doctor last consulted me only over the phone. And if I look for another doctor now, it's a bit of a challenge right now.

  • In my opinion, you should use the ointment and cream for at least five or seven days, maybe longer in your case. I am concerned about what the instructions for use for regencorr say. It says to use with caution or avoid blood pressure lowering drugs, arrhythmia reducing drugs, look for alternatives because they can cause sunburn. I take both, the more so the amiodarone drug in general is accentuated and bracketed. My husband also takes remedies for high blood pressure. My husband and I are planning to travel and I decided to talk to my doctor to find me a safer non increasing sun sensitivity high blood pressure medication. The doctor told me that almost all medicines for high blood pressure can increase sun sensitivity and that he didn't know what to recommend. I have been taking lisinopril for a long time for my high blood pressure. I'm wondering if, instead of looking for an alternative medicine, I should just use a thick layer of sunscreen. Would that solve the problem of photosensitivity?

  • Finding an alternative medicine is not an easy task. Note that the instructions for regencorr mention hypotensive agents, but without any specifics. My father has been taking moxipril, losartan for many years and I don't recall him getting any noticeable sunburn.  But it's been badly written about amiodarone and it's a drug with lots of side effects and can definitely cause sunburn, so you need to change it to something safer. You need to find an experienced doctor.                                                                                                                                           I have a question too. I have been treated for scc on my lip and basal cancer on my nose. All removed. I'm just starting a preventative regencorr course. My concern is when I apply the cream on my lip, what could be the reaction if the cream gets in my mouth, while sleeping for example? Is it not dangerous?

  • I read about moexipril, losartan and it is written that its can also increase photosensitivity, but I understand that we should not be too afraid of them, as this group of drugs does not cause terrible sunburns. As for amiodarone, I will ask my doctor to prescribe me another medicine.                                 In general I had several tumors on my face. My doctor once told me that I was in a high risk group for recurrence and new tumors, because I have the first type of skin, and I had more than 3 tumors on my face. So I apply regencorr as a prophylactic to small eyelid and nose scars. I also add a little regencorr to my regular day cream, mix it up and apply it all over my face. I have gotten the cream on my lips more than once, and I have not noticed any negative reaction.
