i don't know of any studies that show alpha-hydryoxy acid products directly cause skin cancer. these products can be purchased over the counter or obtained by prescription in a stronger formulation. alpha-hydroxy acid products are usually used to treat acne wrinkles and to generally improve the appearance of aging skin. there are many different types of alpha-hydroxy acid products. some are applied as a cream while others are used as chemical peels (usually done by a dermatologist). you should talk to your dermatologist about the basal cell cancer issue to learn whether or not you should continue to use your face cream or not. at any rate stay on top of your skin cancer. basal cell carcinoma is very common and not usually lethal but it does need to be treated. wishing you well!
does use of alpha hydroxy acids produce skin cancer? . i have been using alpha hydroxy face cream for a some years. i have a recurrent facial basal cell cancer condition. i am questioning the effects of my face cream. thanks.
