It was professionally diagnosed, yes. She turned down conventional medical care, preferring to "go the natural route, after much research on the web".

Opened thread. Looked at pictures. What the ****!
Yeah, I'm not normally squeamish but it's worse when you know it's real.
Yeah but it looked like the woman needed plastic surgery afterwards?
She paid for the reconstruction surgery through her health insurance. The same health insurance which would have paid for the initial, professional treatment of the BCC which she chose not to progress with.
You'll note that there are a number of nationalities posting in her thread, not just Americans.
Jesus christ, what idiots.

clearly a moron.
Constantly doubting diagnosis by trained medical professionals? Why not have a go yourself!
If you've got to the stage where you're thinking 'is it supposed to look like that' you've probably gone too far.
And the worst thing is there's loads of these morons having a go at it and looking all unhappy with their rotting faces.
Dog bless OCUK's no medical threads policy!

What the fuuuuuuuu!
she posted saying she would have needed it cut and flattened anyway and then re-constructive surgery after.
she opted to dry and do it her self with the salve, I'm assuming to save money.
I'd imagine their medical expenses go up just like our car insurance does after a claim

Jeepers!
I liked the bit where she started drinking the stuff that had burned off her nose.

There's a reason you need to see a doctor in person and also a reason why places like the Federal Drugs Administration are worked to the brim - phoney cures prey on weakness and vulnerability (and even religious beliefs), and forums allow the base for such manipulation to occur.
Advice on the internet regarding health should always be 'key warning signs' closely followed by 'Go see a Doctor'. Nothing else should occur.
Herbal treatments are sometimes dangerous (if they have any actual physical effect at all), otherwise they are purely placebo and offer a partial psychology glimmer of hope/respite, only if the patient is fully psyched to know what to expect.
