Good news, and not so good news. Good news first.
The Actinic Keratosis is looking great! Flat, no more sandpaper feel, and not raised at all anymore. It is still a bit pink, but since it has been exposed to acidic Apple Cider Vinegar five times a day for the past three and a half weeks, it is to be expected. I am still debating the use of hydrogen peroxide on the spot.
The not so good news is the report on my chest scar from the removal of the Basal Cell Carcninoma (BCC) on April 3, and the additional BCC on the side of my face.
My chest is still painful on the site of the cut (which was made, according to my husband who watched the procedure, with a laser-like instrument, as opposed to a steel or other knife). It hurts when I stretch, breathe in deeply, cross my arms in front of me, or wake up lying on my side and return to an upright, vertical position. It hurts when I touch it gently within a one inch perimeter of the cut.
It looks like I will be having another surgery. :-(
