FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1️⃣ What is Curaderm BEC5?
Curaderm BEC5 is a topical skin cream designed to remove certain non-melanoma skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It contains a natural plant extract (BEC — solasodine glycosides) that targets and destroys only abnormal skin cells.

2️⃣ How does Curaderm work?
The active ingredient (BEC) penetrates abnormal skin cells and breaks them down from within, while leaving healthy cells untouched. Over time, your skin naturally heals, replacing the damaged tissue with new healthy skin.

3️⃣ What skin conditions can Curaderm treat?
Curaderm is mainly used for:

  • Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)

  • Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)

  • Actinic Keratosis (sun-damaged precancerous lesions)

It is not intended for cosmetic purposes or for treating moles, freckles, acne, or wrinkles.

4️⃣ Is Curaderm safe to use?
Yes — when used as directed and under medical supervision. The active ingredient targets only abnormal cells. However, always consult a doctor before starting treatment, especially if you’re unsure about the type of lesion.

5️⃣ Does Curaderm cause pain or scarring?
Some users may experience mild stinging, redness, or peeling during treatment — which indicates the cream is working. Once healing is complete, most users notice minimal or no scarring, especially compared to surgical removal.

6️⃣ How long does it take to see results?
Treatment duration depends on the size and depth of the lesion — usually 4 to 8 weeks. Continue using until your doctor confirms the lesion is fully cleared.

7️⃣ Can Curaderm be used on the face or sensitive areas?
Yes, but only under professional guidance. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and mucous membranes.

8️⃣ Do I need a prescription?
Curaderm is available over-the-counter in some countries but should always be used with medical advice for accurate diagnosis and safe results.

9️⃣ How should I apply it?
1️⃣ Clean the area with mild soap and water.
2️⃣ Apply a thin layer of Curaderm cream.
3️⃣ Cover it with a non-stick dressing.
4️⃣ Repeat 2–3 times a day as advised.

🔟 Can Curaderm prevent skin cancer?
No — it’s a treatment, not a preventive cream. Protect your skin by using sunscreen, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and getting regular skin checks.
