I was thinking as the pain reached 9.8/10, would I do this again? At that moment, no, but in reality, yes. This "Blue Light" treatment on my forearms was to stop future cancers. Now I must tell you that I have had 8 operations for skin cancer and many, many freezings of precancerous skin conditions. Blue Light is a treatment involving a chemical rub, 4 hours of waiting and then 16 minutes of a blue light, activating a chemical burn. In the end it is like a severe sunburn. Outer skin cells are burned and peels, ridding precancerous conditions on your skin. The pain is absolutely intense. It is now several hours later and it is still a 7/10.
I had this treatment on my face a year ago and in truth, I had forgotten the actual pain. Now for the reason why I did it and would do it again. I have had all those operations for skin cancer with a couple of slight disfigurements and scars. Two years ago, as I was in the dermatologists office waiting on an exam, I noticed a man, standing in profile at the counter and he HAD NO NOSE. I realized that my condition was nothing at all and that I must do everything possible to keep myself well.
I suggest to all, use sun screen, use sun screen, use sun screen.
