“…The acid for mulation was developed by Ravid ct al. [10] and lias been used until recently in Israel and Europe as a treatment for benign lesions such as seborrheic keratoses, solar keratoses, warts, condylomata, pilar cysts, nevi, hemangiomas, papil lomas and dermatofibromas [11][12][13][14] and malignant lesions as basal and squamous cell carcinomas [ 15]. Use in the latter was strongly discouraged in view of the high recurrence rates and aggressive behavior of the recurrent tumors [ 16], Solco derm has become a popular alternative to surgery for the treatment of benign and malignant lesions.…”

A 40-year-old patient developed a 5-mm-deep melanoma from a lesion on her chest which had been treated with Solcoderm 10 years previously. We recently described 3 other cases of melanoma that evolved in a lesion treated by Solcoderm. Much debate surrounds the recommendation as to the appropriate method for treatment of pigmented lesions when the removal is indicated for cosmetic reasons only. Most of the authors agree that any pigmented lesion which merits excision merits submission for histological examination. The aim of the present report was to express a warning regarding what we think is an inappropriate and hazardous method of treating pigmented lesions, namely their chemical destruction with Solcoderm. In view of the reported cases of melanoma evolving in lesions treated previously with Solcoderm we believe that this treatment is absolutely contraindicated for pigmented lesions.

The deleterious effect of Solcoderm on malignant skin lesions

1992

Solcoderm is a solution which, in the past, was considered to be suitable for treatment of malignant and benign skin lesions. A group of 50 patients is presented, all of whom received Solcoderm therapy for malignant skin tumors. A consistent clinical and histological findings was observed in these patients : the recurrence was wider and more aggressive compared to the original lesion. In the light of our experience and a review of the literature, this treatment modality seems to affect only the superficial layers of the tumor, while the deep layers remain unaffected. The residual malignant cells tend to spread out beyond the limits of the original tumor. Consequently, the subsequent therapy required is more extensive. Both functional and aesthetic results are suboptimal.

Treatment of epidermal cysts with Solcoderm (a copper ion and acid solution)

The treatment of epidermal cysts has often posed a problem for dermatologists. Although surgical excision has been adopted as the method of choice for the removal of these lesions, complications of surgery and recurrences have warranted the search for alternate therapeutic modalities. Use of a recently introduced compound, Solcoderm, is reported in the treatment of 116 epidermal cysts in 85 patients over a 2-year period. The satisfactory cosmetic results observed, low incidence of recurrence, low cost and ease of administration, make this drug a viable alternative in the management of epidermal cysts, particularly in those cases where surgery should be avoided.
