Have appointment with surgeon to discuss formalin treatment coming up. Surgeon previously said he has not had good results with this but given outcome from argon colonoscpy this is where he wants to go, I think.

The article has a paywall. I was so desperate. I paid 35$ for the article. And immediately called Rodney Eddi. He's a couple of hundred miles from me, but no longer had access to the halo 90. I lined up 19 possible doctors and began calling.
I want to say don't do formalin, but another poster has given better warning.
Let me instead say that the Halo 90 administers a dose that of precisely shallow depth and so doesn't damage the area below. Placement of the wand is precise and targets only the damaged surface area. It is restorative of normal functioning skin which grows back vascularized. Treated areas don't rebleed.
Bless your choice.
