Does Seborrheic keratosis or Melanoma react to chemo creams for pre cancer? (Photo)

June 7, 2022
Asked By:smgjmg in Dothan, Alabama

So my dermatologist prescribes me chemo cream for my pre cancers (actinic keratosis) I also get lots of seborrheic keratosis. I had what looked like a SK come up and treated it with the cream. Kinda looks like a dark spot is still there as the spot has almost healed from treatment. Will the SK react to the cream and destroy them?I’m also paranoid about it being a melanoma. I have had melanoma in situ in the past that came up in an existing mole. Thanks in advance
