Anyone take acitretin to help prevent further SCC skin lesions?

I have only had experience with niacinamide for
modest preventive maintenance. Acitretin is effective
in prevention for transplant patients and should work well for normal immunity. Do you have a family history
of skin cancer that might show up in genetic tests?
Are you being treated by an oncologist or MOHS specialist?

I have a MOHs specialist. My genes were sent to Sweden. They ran the 19 gene skin cancer panel. All came back negative. I have the skin type. My father started to get them after he commenced HIV treatment.
No other immediate family members. I have a PET scan every 6 months. And see my rad oncologist. I don’ like the sound of acrititin. But can’t do any more procedures. I’m exhausted
