What is Melanoma about?

There was a low grade papular dermatitis affecting the dorsal surfaces of the hands and forearms. Patch testing was performed to the standard series, cosmetic ingredients series, local anaesthetic series and a patch of our Skin Hospital pre-laser local anaesthetic cream. We also applied the sunscreen series and several of her own cosmetics. Patch testing revealed 2 + reactions benzocaine, Caine mix 1 (benzocaine, cinchocaine and tetracaine), and Caine mix 2 (benzocaine, cinchocaine and procaine). Benzocaine tetracaine and procaine all belong to the chemical grouping known as ester local anaesthetics and it is not uncommon for them to produce allergies. She was prescribed weaning oral prednisone and topical Advantan Ointment daily followed by Sigmacort ointment twice daily. She has been advised to avoid ester local anaesthetics. ## Melanoma Statins reduce disease recurrence in patients with ulcerated primary melanoma
