Lipoma

Pace, If you are still on this forum I have a question to ask about the lipoma that came out of your back last year. When I googled lipoma/escharotic this forum came up and I read about your delema. Something similar if not exact happened to me within the last 2-3 months. I would like to know what is happening to the site now that you are one year out from the process. The process was a nightmare for me, it started mid-April and something is still going on with it, although not to the exetent at the start of the process. I think I awoke a sleeping giant! By the way, this is an amazing site. Any responses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,


Hi Suzie,

What is the problem? Have you had a lipoma taken out or is something else happening?

Rue, I would like to know the outcome of Pace's "lipoma" removal because about 10 weeks ago the same thing happened to me. As a child I lived at the beach, being fair skinned I now am having basal cell cancers crop up. Over 10 years ago I started having suspicious spots looked at every year by dermatologists and they all said not to worry, they were nothing. Eventually 3 years ago the 3 spots that concerned me the most, one on my nose and 2 on my lip were biopsied positive for cancer (BCC). I consented to Mohs surgery by a plastic surgeon. Unfortunately, the surgery left large ugly scars. 6 months later 2 other sites that I had been concerned with 10 years earlier were now positive for BCC. I was determined not to go under the knife again so I began an internet search for alternatives and was very surprised to find information on these salves, called black and yellow salves and escharotics. I ordered a product called Cansema which I used on the 2 sites that were basal cell carcinomas and 2 other sites which I didn't think were cancer (control sites). The 2 positive sites reacted just as the literature said it would. I used it according to the instructions. It is an amazing process, not for the faint of heart. The 2 other sites didn't do anything. The black salve ate the cancers out and there was very little scaring. I have since treated about 10 spots that I considered to be cancer. It is ironic that I also had to go back and retreat the entire area that I had the Mohs surgery on. I believe that the surgeon spread the cancer all along to inscisions and I am still in the process of treating those areas. So what does this have to do with Pace...In April I treated a small mole on my back because it had been itching and flaking. I also have (had) a lipoma (at least that is what the dermatologist told me) about 2 inches below the area I treated. The lipoma was approximately 3 inches long by 1 inch wide, like a submarine. I knew it was there but I didn't intend to treat it. I placed the black salve on the mole and it immediately reacted, but the lipoma started to tingle, burn and in the course of 4 weeks it came to the surface. It took another 2 weeks for the eschar to fall off. It's like a sci-fi nightmare. I had to treat it with another product called Tumorx because it was so huge, what an ordeal. Pain was the big issue, I was sick with the "flu" and had upper abdominal and back pain for the entire 6 weeks. When the eschar fell off it was 5 x 3 inches. Like I said, not for the faint of heart and I am sure that Pace and I could relate. I didn't mean to treat this "lipoma", if indeed that is what it is. One reason I wanted to contact Pace is because it was my understanding that this product reacts with malignant tissue and I wanted to ask Pace the outcome of her ex-lipoma and if there has been any other growths in the area. I am 10 weeks out from the first application of the Cansema and the area isn't totally healed, it is down to about 1/2 it's size, small welts are developing on the margins and they itch. I don't think that it is infected. I am going to have to have it biopsied. As you can probably tell, I have little faith in conventional medicine. I can just see their faces when I explain why I think it should be biopsied. I wish Pace the best. Thanks for listening!


Hi Suzie,

I guess I would go to a regular surgeon instead of a mohl done. Of course, I know our surgeons really well, that is what is nice about a small town. For a Mohl procedure they just shave off enough skin to get the lesion. Basal Cell Ca is probably the best kind of Ca to get, if you get any. You may have small lesions for years but usually it doesn't deveop into really bad Ca. I know that doesn't help alot.

I agree sometimes it isn't easy to get Doctors to listen. That is why I have been going to a Nurse Practitioner for years. She has an open mind and listens to me.

I see why you can relate to Pace, because I haven't found anyone to relate to my thyroid/Fe anemia. People just don't understand what you are going through.

Anyway good luck and let us know what is up. By the way I work in a Path Lab so if you aren't comfortable with what they tell you email me. You can find it down below in the "Does Candex work?".
