basal cell carcinoma
"Had a basal cell right under my eyelid. My dermatologist insisted I go see a Mohs surgeon. I took a doctor  (Internist) in my family with me to see the surgeon.  The surgeon wanted to cut. When the internist told him that there is very little tissue under my eye and I could lose my eye he said well there is always a chance. The internist said how about fluorouracil?  He said NO.  Of course he said no - he is a surgeon and only makes his money on cutting. The internist wrote the prescription for 0.5% fluorouracil cream. To use for 3 weeks - apply at bedtime.  After 2 weeks the area was very red and oozed and swelled up. I continued for the 3 rd week.  It has been 10 weeks since I stopped the cream. The basal cell is gone and the area is  just a little pink."
