Is Heliocare Effective In The Treatment Of Skin Cancer?
A friend asked me to look up the over-the-counter pill called Heliocare. She is 86 and has had many basal cell skin cancers and some squamous cell cancers. Her dermatologist said it would be perfect for her. She wants some info on it to take to her cardiologist to see if it s OK for her.

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, yes, it's a very potent sun block and sun radiations are the prime cause of skin cancers. Using such sunblock can be preventive in recurrence.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
