Abstract

25 patients with 29 histologically confirmed periocular basal cell epitheliomas were treated by topical application of Solcoderm, a solution of organic and inorganic acids and ions. The cure rate of the 29 lesions, which were followed for a mean period of 32 months, was 80%. The overall cure rate following second Solcoderm treatment of the 6 recurrent lesions was 96.7%. The cosmetic and functional results were excellent and there were no serious complications and side effects.
