My Dermatologist offered an alternative treatment and it was a disaster for me. They encourage patients to consider Superficial Radiation Treatment (SRT).

I ended up with a non-healing ulcer in my lower leg that took a year to heal. Weekly visits to a wound treatment center for painful debridement and 30 days of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments (HBOT) provided the best path to healing.

I thoroughly researched SRT and found it is contraindicated for lower limbs. Lower vascular circulation is impeded by radiation damage.

In an effort to protect other patients from the ordeal I experienced, I documented my research on the FDA adverse event MAUDE database. This and other adverse event reports for SRT treatment injuries can be found on the FDA MAUDE database, search manufacturer “Sensus Healthcare” with a date range starting in 2016 to current date.

SRT is marketed to Dermatologists and I suspect it is effective for head and neck regions, it is contraindicated for lower limbs and they falsely claim it is ideal for SCC in lower legs
