Pre-cancerous melanoma

Melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. Luckily, your friend apparently caught it early as you say it is in it's pre-cancerous form (i.e. not cancer yet). I don't know about treatments, but a cream seems a bit passive in it's approach. I'd be having the doctor cut a chunk out. A2A has a section on skin cancer. I don't know if you've seen it. There, it says, Melanoma is treated surgically so I don't know about this cream stuff. CHeck out the site and do some more research of your own. There are a lot of sites out there on this subject.
