Hello, we are just in the process of trying to find a vet who can surgically remove 2-3 lesions, I have attached photos of the largest one on her chest, and a smaller black one near her mouth. These are the most resistant and after 8 months of applying Imiquimod cream every two days, they are still exactly the same. Most new spots that appear will disappear after 2-3 applications within 1-2 weeks. Our usual vet said he could remove the largest one on her neck, due to the elastic quality of the skin, but he did not comment on the smaller one near her mouth. I would be interested to have some feedback about this, what sort of things to consider.
We tried to have laser ablation done but were refused due to a heart condition.
The lesions are from Bowen's disease, we apply Imiquimod cream every two days to keep them at bay. More recently I have started applying unscented hand cream to them, and found this helps to prevent the scabs from forming and to keep the skin soft. I also wondered if this might help with the absorption of the Imiquimod, we have been applying it for over 8 months, and I assume that it must dry out the skin. So, I was also wondering if there might be something better to use as a moisturizer, perhaps baby oil?
