Question: Imiquimod cream to put on incision after surgery on my nose for squamish cells seems from reports to be dangerous, red nose crusts pain for six weeks to get a thin layer left behing for an 81 year old who expects to die in 2 years . cant i forego this treatment?

oh, I have not started treatment yet as on web it says once you start, you have to complete. So am thinking of waiting to see doctor in 2 months for a review. His nurse said a two month wait as long as I havent started is ok. The surgeon, the second doctor, said if I cant wait, he could operate again and try to get that thin layer out with a deeper cut. I said I would wait 2 month to see the dermatologist, doctor #1, since only a very thin layer left, and then decide what to do as I am afraid of the Imiquimod cream at 81 with so much red nose problems crusting and pain as usual side effects. Then there are the many others terrible ones some people get with the upturning of their immune systems especially with people over 80. So waiting seems to be the solution right now. Any comment you may want to add will be appreciate as first question was about ten hours before doctor's nurse reponded to my question
