i have had melanoma on my shoulder and had it removed,but i have never ever heard of what you are talking about.and if it is cancer on her skin,why the shots,and not having it removed? that just not make sense to me because skin cancer is just as if not more deadly than a cancer you can't see. has she actually seen a cancer doctor or a skin doctor? she needs a cancer doctor,and a biopsy,and or a second or 3rd opinion,this ios NOT something to mess around with or take your time about.
my father-in-law has had repeated removals from his nose, even after caring for it. I've never heard of that type. it's really none of your business unless you are asking in regards to caring about her. if you are only asking because you are worried about "catching" it, then you need to just help her out by staying away. I'm sure she'd be relieved.
My biology teacher had it on her shoulder, but they cured it.
It comes back though she said.
